“While being out of town for four days, I had complete peace of mind that my four cats were being taken care of. Christy showed up at her drop in times and stayed long enough to take care of everything and interact with my cats. I would recommend Christy”

“We couldn’t say enough good things about Vanessa. It is obvious that she loves our pets as if they were their own. She arrives on time and sends adorable little updates in the form of pictures and videos. She left the sweetest goody bag for our Daisy with toys and treats, which Daisy absolutely loves! Right now we are doing drop in visits but once Daisy is fully vaccinated we hope to do doggy daycare with Vanessa!”

“Emily was amazing from the start. She listened to all the kitties needs and tried to socialize with them before our vacation so that they are not unfamiliar with her. With every drop in visit she made sure all their needs are taken care of, checked their water and most importantly engaged them with lots of play time. Within her second visit she was able to convince our shy cat to trust her and took great care of them. She also provided regular updates and listened to any input we had She provided a peace of mind while we were hundreds of miles away and our cats also loved interacting with her. We will definitely rebook with Emily again when life requires us to be elsewhere”

“We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed having Bri care for our dogs. The pups took to her immediately and she kept us updated with pictures after every visit. We highly recommend Bri and will be using her again in the near future!”

About: Hi! My name is Taylor and I am a caring, responsible, and patient pet lover. I have experience caring for a variety of different animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, chickens, and fish. I enjoy spending my time with animals and would love to my spend my time caring for your animals! Please reach out if you have any more questions and I would be glad to answer them. :) I am currently working remotely full time so I would be able to give your animals lots of attention in the mornings and evenings but I will also be able to check on them throughout my work hours. I like to meet with pet parents before staying in their home to learn their routine and how they care for their animals. I like to make a list of all the things pet parents tell me so I can ensure that I provide the best care for their animals.
About: For as long as I can remember, there have always been dogs in my home, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love dogs more than anything, and I would be delighted to care for your fur babies. I currently have three dogs: a 9-year-old Papillion, a 9-year-old American Staffordshire, and a 7-year-old Lab/Chow mix, two of which I helped raise from puppies. I also have experience pet-sitting for family and a couple of friends. I am completely free most of the summer, and I go to school part-time in the fall and spring. Starting in the fall, I will be free all day Thursday-Sunday, and from 12 pm-10 pm Monday and Wednesday. For daycare/boarding: I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of space for your furry friends to run around and play, and a driveway that is almost a mile long where we can go for a walk without worrying about cars! I have 3 dogs of my own, all of which are friendly and playful, but they can be kept separate if they make your dogs uncomfortable. For pet-sitting/check-ins: I'm here for you! I want to listen to how you want things done and what you need from me as a pet-sitter. After all, they're your pets in your home and I know every pet is unique!
About: I have worked with cats and dogs for more than half of my 21 years of life, and I will say living without them might be the worst thing I've ever had to endure. I have great experience working with cats and dogs. Mostly with my very own! I have two cats and two dogs, Bella Beauty is the oldest at 14 human years old, definitely the sassyest of the bunch!! She is very versed in tricks and polite despite her sass! Basil Bay is my second dog and is only a year old, she is thirty five pounds and a big bundle of energy!! She's our sweet girl and loves to play and cuddle up on the couch, she also absolutely adores food!! Twilight Sparkle is my childhood Cat and is quite spoiled with food at her disposal, making her a chunk of pure love! she loves to be pet all over,, even on her tummy! She is also versed in a few tricks like shake, sit, and up! Sunrise Rae, (Kiki) is my other kitty who is very much the independent one of the bunch, she is 12 years old and very shy compared to Twilight, she loves to go outside and climb trees, chase Basil around,(and vis versa) play with cat toys, and sunbathe in the afternoons. I have experience walking, some grooming, feeding , playing With, and cuddling dogs and cat. I have a cleaning job I do two to three days a week, and I was looking to fill the gaps in between with caring for pets! In my home we have an invisible fence for our dogs and an automatic doggy door so the dogs can go outside anytime they need! Kiki also likes to use the door for herself! In my location, I have a small, wooden fenced in area of the yard, but the bigger area is not physically fenced in, so I would take your pet out on a leash to use the potty outside!
“Kimberly was great and we felt at ease while on our trip! We are a bit of a unique pet-sitting client as we have two cats of our own and then also foster. Kimberly took care of a total of 5 adult cats and 4 two-week old kittens for us while we were away for a long weekend. We came back to happy and fed cats, which is exactly what we asked for.”

About: I've had animals most of my life from puppies to pound mutts and full blooded and senior dogs. I make sure to encourage play and positive training. I currently work from home so I spend lots of time with family pets, old roommate animals and friends pets. Lately it's been waking up to 3 small dogs my parents have. I make sure to follow any rules stated by the original owner. It can range from crate training, socialization, cleaning, walking or using the client's home.
About: I love taking care of and playing with animals, and am looking to spend time with your critters, whether dog, cat, bird, or beast. I grew up on a farm around chickens, horses, dogs, and pigs, and I've always had a connection with animals and find their presence comforting. I can come and check in on your loved ones and feed them and play with them. I have my own dog whom I love very much and I enjoy showering any and all animals I meet with attention. I'm most experienced with dogs, but I'm a quick learner and enjoy learning how to take care of all animals. I have very little experience administering medications, but am willing to learn, if shown how or given detailed instructions.

About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds for about 5 years now. From dogs and cats (of all ages!) to horses, birds, and a tarantula! I have a lot of experience with senior animals and pets with special needs as well :). I work part time Monday through Friday but I am always off work by 3pm at the latest (often earlier). But outside of work I have no other responsibilities that cannot be adjusted to fit around your pets schedule! I have experience with all sorts of homes, ex: cities, busy neighborhoods, homes in the country. And all sorts of pets! I am happy to work anywhere and very adaptable.
“I cannot put into words how amazing this young lady was with Piper and Momma Cat. She went above and beyond with my babies. I highly recommend using her for your furbabies. And I know I'll be using her again.”
About: Hello! My name is Katelyn and I am a true animal lover! I have a B.A. in Animal Science, Production, and Business Management. I have worked with animals in various settings: •veterinary clinic/hospital •daycare/boarding facility for dogs •animal shelter •dairy farm These jobs have allowed me to gain more animal handling skills, breed knowledge, behavior and body language! I have one dog of my own named Birdie, and one in heaven named Snorty. Both are Labrador Retrievers, who loves playing fetch, swimming, and car rides. Animals have always played a huge part of who I am today. Your animal will be treated properly and showered with love. I thank you for your consideration and I cannot wait to meet all the fur babies! I work M-F at my full time job. I can be flexible and we can arrange around times if need too- just know I have a job that I have to be at 8am-6pm. With having experience from working at an animal clinic, dog daycare and boarding facility, and even an animal shelter, knowledge from college, and working at farms I have incredible animal husbandry skills. I know how to administer medicine, if needed. Also, know what signs to look for when an animal is sick. Having a dog myself, I will care and love your fur baby like it’s my own!

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and making sure they get the proper care they need. All of my family has relied on me to potty train their dogs. I have experience with multiple different breeds because I worked at a boarding/training facility. I am currently on summer break because I am a teacher so I have plenty of availability. I’m a morning person so I typically get up then feed and walk my dogs then tackle whatever the day brings. I’m only not available on Tuesday evenings. I follow your pet's established routine, stick to their feeding schedule, and keep everything exactly as you left it. Whether your pet stays in their own familiar environment or we are somewhere new I'm fully present and attentive the entire visit. Pets are never left unsupervised in unfamiliar spaces, and I always follow each pet's routine to keep them stress-free and at ease.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 201 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:

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.
