“Tim was wonderful. We had a great time communicating through the app, and he is very kind and professional throughout the process. Would love to book him again in the future!”


“Tingting took great care of my cat Nami for 5 nights, two visits per day. Even though Nami is shy, Tingting took the right approach to gain her trust and keep her happy and engaged. The daily photos and videos were a great touch. I came home to a happy, healthy cat and couldn't be more satisfied. Will definitely book with her again.”

“Madeleine is absolutely amazing! I have a very shy but super sweet cat who is usually wary of strangers, but she loved Madeleine from her very first visit. I was so impressed! Madeleine sent me adorable pictures every day, was incredibly responsive, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I will 100% hire her again and feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful, trustworthy pet sitter. I highly recommend her!”

“Anna is always extremely dependable and lovely! I trust my pets get to stay in their normal routine when I am away, and I always receive very thorough updates. Anna has also helped me in a couple urgent situations, which I couldn't be more grateful for!”

“Sara came to our rescue at the last minute. We were grateful that she could accommodate our requests. Daisy seemed to enjoy her time with Sara and the new ball. We will have her back another time.”

“Abigail was great, very responsive and accommodating with my last minute request! Will definitely use her again in the future to check in on my cat while I’m away :)”

“Sydney took great care of our 3 cats! She followed all of the care instructions that we gave her and the girls felt very comfortable with her. We will definitely book Sydney again!”


About: I grew up with dogs and have a dog and a cat. I have house sat for both dogs and cats. I have even looked after animals with special needs. I know what it takes to earn an animals trust and make them feel safe and cares for :) I am available to pet sit or check-in on your animals, take them for walks (etc) seven days a week! I have plenty of time to play with and get to know your animals. I am very respectful of clients homes and the rules they lay down. I want to care for your pets in the way you would!
“Margaret took such great care of our cats, she is wonderful. She is so sweet, very caring and I hope she will take care of Olive and Otis again next time we go away! I highly recommend her!”


“Audrey was great! She was very courteous and super pleasant, and we felt like Calliope was in very good hands. She was able to meet on very short notice for the meet and greet, asked all the right questions, and it is clear she loves pets and sees them as family members. When we got back from our trip away, Calliope was safe and sound and everything had gone right. We look forward to using her again.”


About: I have cared for animals since I was a child - mostly I have owned cats, but I've owned lizards and taken care of many dogs over the years. I am happy to be active and play around, or just lounge if that's what your animals are more about. I'm just happy to help keep your pet safe and happy and take care of any to-dos around the house that you need done! I work 9 am-5 pm on weekdays but tend to be free in the evenings or on weekends, so if that fits with what you need in terms of pet care, then I am happy to help! I do not currently have any pets in my apartment, but the unit is cat-friendly. I easily adapt to anyone else's living situation so as long as you lay the ground rules, I will respect them!

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover, proud dog mom to three rescue pups, and the founder of a nonprofit dog rescue! Through running my rescue, I've had the opportunity to work with dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, personalities, and backgrounds. I've gained valuable experience with everything from energetic puppies to shy, fearful dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. I also have extensive personal experience caring for dogs with medical conditions, allergies, autoimmune issues, and behavioral challenges. My own three rescue dogs have taught me that every dog is different, and I truly believe in taking the time to understand their individual needs, routines, and personalities. I'm comfortable working with dogs who may need extra attention, patience, or a slower introduction to new people and environments. Whether your pup loves long walks, prefers a relaxed stroll, or just needs some extra love and companionship, I'm happy to accommodate what makes them most comfortable. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. My goal is to provide the same level of love, patience, and attention that I give my own dogs, while making sure you feel comfortable and confident that your furry family member is in good hands! I work full-time remotely in the legal industry, but I also own and operate a nonprofit dog rescue, so caring for animals is already a huge part of my everyday life! My current work schedule offers a great deal of flexibility, allowing me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care needs throughout the day and week. As a dog mom to three rescue pups, I'm no stranger to balancing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and individual care needs. I'm fortunate to have the flexibility to work around your pet's routine and provide them with the attention, patience, and love they deserve. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or some extra companionship, I'm happy to help make their day a little brighter! Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being will always be my top priorities! As the founder of a nonprofit dog rescue and a dog mom to three rescue pups, I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. I personally have a fearful, fear-reactive dog, so I understand just how challenging it can be to find someone who is patient, understanding, and willing to accommodate dogs who may need a little extra support. I've dedicated much of my life to accommodating my own dogs' individual medical, behavioral, and emotional needs, and I know that what works for one dog may not work for another. I understand that building trust takes time, and I never expect a dog to feel comfortable with me right away. Through both my rescue work and personal experience, I've learned the importance of respecting each dog's boundaries, recognizing body language, and allowing them to adjust at their own pace. I'm especially passionate about helping owners of anxious, fearful, or special-needs dogs feel confident that their pets are in understanding and compassionate hands. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routines and follow all instructions closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, medications, exercise, or specific behavioral accommodations. I believe in creating a calm, positive environment without forcing interactions or putting dogs in situations where they may feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed. I'm also more than happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel reassured while you're away. I know what it's like to worry about leaving your pets in someone else's care, especially when they have unique needs. My goal is to provide the same patience, understanding, love, and attention that I've dedicated to my own dogs, while making sure both you and your pet feel safe and comfortable!

Usually afternoons are best for me, especially on non-remote days. We have a large yard, great for pets that love running around and playing, and lots of sun-lit rooms for the ones who love lounging!

“Ayana was so patient and kind with our old moody cat. We got regular updates and photos and felt at peace being away from her for a week (which is a feat). Ayana will be our first call next time we are leaving town!”
About: I am a college student home for breaks! I have 3 dogs and 1 cat at home who I love to hang out with and care for. I have done at home care for senior dogs, walks and run around with younger dogs and puppies, cat sitting, and lots in between. I am home for a few weeks in January and lots of time in the summer, so I would love to help with your animals anytime when I am home, especially if you’re headed on any vacations. I care deeply for your animals and will carefully follow any instructions and specific requests you may have. I want to make sure you and your animals are as comfortable as possible while they are in my care, so I am very flexible.
About: While I don’t have my own pet, I have been around and taken care of dogs quite often. I regularly take care of all my loved ones’ cats and have had cat sitting jobs as well. I’m a responsible and reliable doctoral graduate who will do a good job, and be sure to keep solid communication with clients! I currently work and study full time from home. I am quite flexible with my schedule and can often help out on weeknights and weekends too! I have an unfenced large yard as well as a large house. I can go on runs, (I’m an avid runner who ran cross country and track in high school!) and I absolutely love playing with dogs. My neighborhood is very friendly for dog walks, with fellow dog walkers around! I don’t have a dog or other pets, so no interactions would disrupt dog-sitting. I have three roommates who can give the dogs extra love :)

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Dover
I reached out to Samantha very last minute after my cat sitting plans with another (non-Rover) sitter fell through. I was so grateful to be able to book Samantha. Samantha was incredibly responsive as we set up our initial visit, great about communicating in the lead-up to our trip, and took great care of Harlan. Harlan is an elderly kitty who gets lonely and can make a bit of a mess when eating, leaving debris everywhere, but I came home to very clean looking floors and a happy and well-fed kitty. Thank you, Samantha!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Dover is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $29 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,732 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Dover. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
