Samantha was a wonderful cat-sitter. She took great care of our cats, and gave us real peace of mind that they were in good hands while we were away.

Juyeon was so kind to my cat while I was away for a few days, was great at communicating, and very flexible. When I extended my trip last minute, Juyeon was able to come for another two visits! I definitely recommend Juyeon!

Elizabeth (Liz) is a thoughtful and reliable pet sitter. She volunteered to come visit them ahead of time on her own time, and befriended them (even the skittish one). She kept them fed on schedule, played with them and was a pleasure to work with all around.

About: Hi! I’m Caroline, a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all personalities. I understand that every pet has their own unique quirks, routines, and needs, and I pride myself on providing loving, reliable, and attentive care that keeps them comfortable while you're away. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, medication, or just quiet companionship, I tailor each visit to suit your pet’s preferences. I also offer regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe and happy. I treat every pet like my own with patience, respect, and lots of affection. Let me know how I can help! I currently work in biotech at an office job during the day Monday - Friday with some flexibility to be remote a day here and there, so I am available to stop by early mornings (5-7am) or after work (3-10pm) on days I’m at the office. I am available any time on weekends! At your home, I will be respectful of your space and the way you cater to your pet and their needs. I want to build a relationship to get to know you and your pet and will treat them as if they were my own!

Katy was a lifesaver! We had a last minute need for a dog sitter and Katy was quick to respond and she was very flexible. She took great care of our dog each time she came by; she walked her, played with her and fed her regularly. I highly recommend her!

About: Growing up with dogs in the family made me learn how to care for them naturally and see animals as friends. I will be more than happy to know your buddy, make sure they have everything they need, and have amazing moments together. I’m working part time and mostly available up to two hours during the morning and evenings after 5pm. Weekends are flexible with all day availability and flexibility. I always double check any house doors, to make sure it’s safe. Keep them near me in any outdoor environment is a rule, never unleashed or left alone outside. I’ll love to know more about your dogs habits and personality to adjust to their needs, restrictions and expectations.

About: Hi, I’m Alex, and I run Dover Doggy Hotel & Daycare LLC! I cater to residents in the Needham, Wellesley, Dover, Medfield, Sherborn and Walpole areas. Your dogs, are my medicine. I don’t feel complete without one. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always believed that every pup deserves love, safety, and a cozy place to call home. I started out working for PETCO in aquatics in high school and fell in love with animals From 2012–2014, I served in the U.S. Peace Corps in Ukraine, where I taught English at the high school level in Dnipro, where I also co-managed an animal shelter caring for more than 150 dogs. During that time, I fostered Staffordshire Terriers, Pit Bulls, and other large breeds, gaining hands-on experience with everything from playful puppies to strong, large, high-energy dogs. Since then, I’ve continued caring for dogs of all sizes through fostering, boarding, and walking and daycare. Today, I mainly host small and medium sized dogs. I have a safe, fenced-in yard to play in, and plenty of cozy spots inside where pups are welcome on the couch (and yes, even in the bed if that’s what they’re used to!). I’m also happy to do drop-in visits for larger dogs at their own homes and walking. I also run a flexible,, multi option daycare program. I treat every dog like family, tailoring care to their needs—whether that’s long walks, lots of playtime, or just snuggles and companionship. I also have multiple client references available upon request. Your pup’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I’d love the chance to give them the care and attention they deserve! Right now, pet care is my top priority! I have a very open and flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate full-time attention to the dogs I care for. While I do have the occasional online doctor’s appointment or small obligations, my days are wide open for walks, playtime, and socialization. I can comfortably care for up to 4* dogs in my home at a time, giving them lots of one-on-one attention. For walks and drop-in visits, I’m available for up to 4 dogs* (depending on size). My flexible routine means your pup will never feel rushed; just relaxed, loved, and cared for like family. Daily routine is up for first bathroom break out back at 8:30, walks and or dog park every day and another bathroom break at 9 -9:30. In bed by 10-10:30. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my #1 priority. I live on a 1 acre property with a gigantic fenced-in backyard where pups can play securely and safely. Inside, dogs are welcome to relax wherever they feel most comfortable….on the couch, in bed, or by my side. Trust is very important to me. I know how much pets mean to their families, so I treat every dog like my own, with patience, kindness, and consistency. I keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you’ll always know your pup is happy, safe, and cared for. There’s no other animals* (possibly other dogs boarding) or children in the home to distract or to become an issue. When caring for a clients home, I treat it as if it were my own and offer extra services like bringing in mail & feeding fish & basic general tasks etc. If you would like to see the property you can take a virtual tour here and see where your dog will be staying and to get a sense of the size of the property upon request.

Kylie stopped in to bring my dog Patsy out when I had to work longer shifts at work. She was a great communicator and I felt very comfortable having her care for Patsy. I could tell Patsy loved her too based off how happy she looked in the photos Kylie sent! I would definitely recommend any of her services!

About: I’m a young outdoors person who loves animals. Your animals needs will always be met with me. Whether it’s a younger dog who need lots of playing time and exercise, or an older pet who just needs loving, I will be perfect for the job. I’ve lived with animals in my house for my entire life. From Dobermans to Shih Tzus and turtles to fish. I have been house sitting for friends and neighbors for a while now with no issues. I’ve also done some dog training while my brother got his service dog. No matter what, your pets needs will be taken care of with me with love. I am a college student on winter break and would love to work a little bit over the break. Until January 20th, I am available 7 days a week and any times you need. The only times I will not be available is Christmas Eve/ Christmas Day. Other than that I have a very flexible schedule. I’ve got 2 older dogs (poodle and shih tzu) who are very friendly and love to play. I’ve got 2 different sized cages, small and large, for any type of dog you have. We do not have a fence in back yard but a large backyard to run around in with a leash and lovely neighborhood.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Dover

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Dover on Rover is $22.91 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 11,715 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dover. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Dover stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dover. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
