About: My husband and I have had dogs all of our lives! We recently lost our 140 lb. Bouvier des Flandres (Oscar) and our kids are missing having a pet! We are currently pet-less, non-smoking, clean home, looking to love a dog for the weekend or during the summer when we are off. We have a huge yard (2 acres) and can keep your pet on a leash or nearby while we play outside! We love walks and snuggles! We prefer non-shedding breeds. No aggressive dogs. We are currently working/at school - so weekends are it. Once school is out (June-August) we have all summer to watch your pup! We are also an active family, so if you need your dog walked, we can do it! We will keep a close eye on your pup. Our kids are super gentle and are the sweetest kids. Your dog will be our priority if they are here! We want you and your pet to feel at home. We have been dog lovers all of our lives and we used Rover with our last dog and know you want a trusting home - we get it! We don't currently have any other animals and will only take 1 dog at a time (unless from the same family).
“Callie is great! She checked in with our dogs precisely on time and left great notes + photos. The dogs love her. One of our dogs is diabetic - Callie was experienced with observing signs of glucose inbalance and administering insulin. We recommend Callie and will request her service in the future.”
About: I have 5+ years of professional experience walking and caring for pets at a veterinary clinic and 12+ years of experience walking and caring for my dog, Chico. Medications are no problem! My dog is diabetic, so I know how to administer insulin shots if needed. I work full time during the day, but I am available most evenings and weekends if you need me to walk or care for your pet. I walk, feed, medicate, and play with your pets to ensure your furry loved ones remain happy and comfortable in their homes while you are away.
“Brittney was awesome with my cats! She was available on short notice, and even though the booking was for a short duration, the boys warmed up to her immediately! She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated the entire time. I would recommend Brittney to everyone looking for a kind, caring, and attentive sitter!”
About: I have always had a passion and love for animals ever since I was little. I have experience caring for many different animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, rats, ferrets, birds, lizards, frogs, and fish. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter and even ran a summer camp there about animal health and safety for children. I have experience in administering medications and topical treatments in different animals. I also have experience in dogs with anxiety. Leaving your pet in someone's care can be nerve racking, but I understand that your pet is family. I have a 15 Ib Havapoo male (neutered) dog that will keep your furry friend company. I work throughout the week but I am home all day Saturday and Sunday to watch your furry friends. I am also available weekday mornings until around noon so I can make accomodations if needed. I have a large fenced in yard for your dog to run around in. Please be aware that the fence is 2.6 ft tall (about waist height). The height isn't a problem for smaller dogs. My dog is allowed on the furniture and sleeps in my bed with me at night.
“Gabrielle was the greatest to watch our dog. She was so patient with getting to know our dog and take care of her. She sent pictures every visit she had and our dog looked like she was having a great time! We would gladly have Gabrielle watch our dog again!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, specifically cats and dogs. I have always been passionate about understanding each animal’s personality and their needs to be happy! I have an adaptable schedule to ensure that the best care for your pets is my top priority! I am incredibly punctual and always on time! I believe the best care stems from interaction and building a bond first. It is a passion of mine to develop these relationships to ensure the comfortability of your pets!
About: Hello! I have had dogs around me all my life. I’m currently a dog parent to two Chihuahua mix dogs, Bennie and Jet. Both are rescued and very sweet. I have assisted in training hunting dogs for my family and friends. I don’t have any professional experience, but I love dogs and I’m very good at making dogs feel safe and loved. I live in Rochester, MN and work a job that is Monday-Friday 8am-5pm in the office. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. I would love to get to know you and your four legged family members!!! I typically work 9am-5pm at the office 3-4 days a week. In the mornings, I take my pups out to go potty and then they tend to come in and go back to bed. When I can I like to come home over my lunch to take them out and play a bit. In the evenings, we play outside if it’s nice and inside if not. My pups are free feeders so they eat when they are hungry and I just fill the bowl back up, this is typically 1/2-1 cup per day for my two chihuahuas. I’ve followed more routine feeding with my dogs in the past but this works best for mine now. My pups will cuddle on the couch with me until bedtime then they sleep in bed with me. I have a fenced in yard with trees for the pups to play in. Good side-walked neighborhood for walks. My house has stairs but I use baby gates for when senior or special needs pets visit. Lots of dog beds and blankets, all the blankets in my house belong to the pups lol.
About: I work at Central Bark Rochester and have hours of volunteering, education, and hard work in canine care and training. My training and learning continues by the day. Im well versed in many different care/training practices and can adjust to each dog's individual needs well. Not only do I value the desires of pet parent's, but the feelings and consent of their furry friends. I work part time and have availability in the mornings, evenings, and weekends! Afternoons vary. I aim for longer sessions to fill the mornings and shorter in the evenings. I am willing to unlock/lock or enter codes to maintain home safety. I am comfortable crating dogs, keeping them seperate from other animals, and working with reactive individuals (see bottom for details). I am also comfortable cleaning up after pets in or outside the house aswell as administering first aid and medications.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I’ve always wanted to go to school to become a Vet and I now work at a doggy day care. I have such a big heart for dogs. I’d really love to be a friend to your animals :) I’m currently working at an assisted living facility so my hours vary. I have a lot of free time though in between my shifts, and would love to help you out I do not have a fenced in yard yet, although there is a great dog park within walking distance of my home! I love nice walks with dogs as it is very peaceful to me.
“Sheena was wonderful! Great communication skills, wonderful sitter who kept meticulous details of her visits with my cat, Dot. Definitely recommend Sheena to watch your four legged friends! :)”
About: I grew up around dogs, 5 German shepherds I learned to care for and love while my Mother was away. German shepherds need a lot of care and attention as they are power breeds. It gave me the education to be able to handle any situation. I currently have 2 dogs, that are well behaved and know so many tricks! I dont have kids but I treat them like my own! I beleive routine is most important in taking care of a dog. If you stick to a healthy one your dogs will be happy and satisfied:):)
“Katelyn is kind and communicative, and we feel confident our cat has been in good hands. We appreciated the pictures during visits and her attentiveness to Rudy’s needs. We will definitely use her services again in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 153 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dover. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 89% 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.
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.
