“It’s clear you are doing something right. For daisy to come up to and let you pet! It’s an honor she reserves for trusted people. Makenzie is reliable, dependable and great with Daisy,”
“Kate was very reliable and did a great job checking on my cat, Lucy. She always provided me photos and updates during each check in. I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Stephanie was great. She made sure to give us an update on our very shy cat each day that we were gone. She even got a picture of him hiding under our bed which we appreciated very much! Definitely a 5 star sitter! Thank you Stephanie! :)”
“Sofia was amazing! My kitties were obviously happy when we came home but they didn’t seem like they had anxiety like they usually do. She was so communicative and sent loads of pictures everyday and it made me feel so calm and comfortable while we were gone. I would definitely rebook her and recommend her to anyone!”
“This was my wife and I's first time using Rover to have our three cats house sat. When we were looking for a sitter it listed Karen as the top option. Now we know why, Karen went above and beyond our expectations! Grover, Oscar and Mittens all have different personalities but everything went extremely well. They are normally shy to strangers but took to Karen well. Karen followed the laundry list of instructions to the letter and made sure that our three fur babies were well taken care of. If you're looking for an excellent cat sitter, send Karen an email. She's the safest and most responsible cat sitter you could ask for. 10/10 stars recommend.”
“Wendy was wonderful in taking care of our cat while we were gone for Christmas. She sent multiple pictures each day, stayed with Maggie longer than the minimum time to comfort and support her, and properly fed and watered her. I would hire Wendy again in a heartbeat and plan to do so when we go back to NY in May. This woman is one of the really professional and competent sitters out there. Thank you, Wendy.”
About: I grew up with lots of cats and dogs as a kid and became experienced with taking care of them at a young age. I love playing with and taking care of pets and I'm good at reading their body language and trying to understand what an animal wants and needs. I work freelance remotely so my schedule is flexible and I have plenty of time to check on and care for your pets. I have a reliable car and have no problem coming to your home to care for your pet. I have experience with both cats and dogs and I know how to read their body language and respond to whatever it is that they need.
“Liliana and Abraham did great job in visiting our cat twice a day at our house when we were abroad for 11 days. Angel loved them, got attached to them very fast and was happy with them coming to take care of her and play with her. They also brought some toys of their own to play with her and helped with getting in some packages and mail. Would definitely work with them again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I’ve walked and fed them, and made sure they were happy at home. I have my own 11 year old beagle/terrier/boxer mix dog Bailey who I love to take care of, he’s my best friend. I’m a college student, and I have times throughout the week especially on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends. My schedule is flexible and I have a car. I like to bring calming and loving energy into every home. I love to make sure each pet is comfortable. I love to take dogs on walks, play with them inside and outside, and make sure they are getting fed and cared for.
“George seemed happy and healthy when we got home! Jim had no problem with George's medication and kept the litter box clean. He fed him on time and figured out the automatic feeder, and checked in each visit. Everything went well!”
“We were traveling for a vacation when our “pet-friendly” hotel informed us that cats weren’t allowed. Paul was quite willing to accept our two kitties in short notice and took excellent care of them while we could continue with our travel plans.”
“Brynn showed up on schedule and took our big dog Cassie for a walk and then had play time. Cassie seemed very happy in the photos and when we got home. Brynn even cleaned up some vomit on the floor. Will use her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16. I’ve owned a black lab growing up, and a German Shepard that my parents got. I currently own a Black Cat named Lucky for the last 6 Years. Hes sweet. I take care of my girlfriend’s dog all the time who is a 5 year old Morkie. I also have always been a huge help with friends and family in dog care taking, dogs and cats are one of my true passions! My schedule varies, but I always try my best to be open. Most weekends I am free. Some weekdays as well. It all depends. I am a co parent. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I follow the owner’s normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications or special instructions. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away.
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. I am happy to leave covered in hair & smelling like whatever they smell like! I am comfortable with puppies-senior. I am free almost all evenings & early mornings. Weekends are mostly open, too! Mondays are usually always free starting in August. Currently I’m pretty flexible, too! I follow directions & am comfortable reaching out if I have questions. I lean on the safe side & want the absolute best for your pet.
About: Unable to have pets of my own, I love taking care of others! I love cat sitting - although I am a dog lover from the start. I love learning each pet’s distinct personality, the ways they play, nonverbal messaging and patterns. I am comfortable giving medications - having had a cat that lived well into her 20s, as well as kitten care. I love dogs, especially walks, play time and petting! I am a vetted and trusted house sitter in Portsmouth. For cats, I typically do a morning feed and play time, lunch time check in for play, brushing or just presence and an evening hang out - food, litter box, play time and cuddle time. When I have time off I like to spend it with the animals. I can come to you and will treat your home better than my own - more like I am looking for a five-star airbnb review. I am quiet and mostly want to spend time with your pet and read.
About: Hey, I’m Rae (she/they) I show up with care, patience, and reliability, and I’m here to support your pets in a way that feels safe and respectful for everyone involved. 🐾 My experience with animals began early. At 14, I worked at a large dog boarding kennel and daycare, where I handled daily dog walks, kennel care, feeding routines, and daycare rotations. That foundation taught me how to work calmly and responsibly with many different temperaments and needs. Professionally, I work as an accountant, which means I’m detail-oriented, dependable, and communicative. Outside of that work, spending time with animals is grounding and meaningful for me. I also want to be transparent that my 8-year-old child may sometimes accompany me during pet-sitting or walking duties. They are kind, respectful of animals, and always under my direct supervision. I only bring them along when it’s appropriate for the pet, the setting, and the client’s comfort—and I’m always happy to discuss boundaries or preferences. For a first meet-and-greet, I’m happy to meet somewhere local and comfortable. A neutral option is the Dog Park at Longhill Memorial Park (32 Longhill Road, Dover, NH 03820), or we can meet at my apartment leasing office, or at your home if preferred. I look forward to caring for your fur-babies with attentiveness, honesty, and care—and offering you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 💗 I work as an accountant and my days are flexible mainly dependent on the business day of the month. I work from home so it’s easy for me to make accomodations and meet animals needs. Whatever accommodations needed we will discuss upfront! We will ensure we are a proper match before engaging in business. I am able to lift 50lbs and can walk long distances. I also want to be transparent that my 8-year-old child may sometimes accompany me during pet-sitting or walking duties. They are kind, respectful of animals, and always under my direct supervision.

Tricia was great with our pets! She dropped in on our two dogs and our cat while we were away and was very communicative and provided us with great updates and pictures while we were gone. She took great care of our pets and we felt confident that they were in loving hands. I would absolutely recommend Tricia!
I cannot even tell you how amazing it is to have not only a safe person for our little kitty but a knowledgeable and personable human. Stephanie has been amazing from the start, from taking time to come meet us and our kitty, to taking the time to follow her medication and food schedule. Finding someone who was willing to pill our cat was such a challenge at first and I’m glad it was because it led us to Stephanie. She will be our go to person anytime we need someone to care for our cat!
Rebecca is an amazing pet sitter. We consistently use her to take care of our cats while we're away. She goes above and beyond to care for them and is great with providing updates and photos. We know our fur babies are in good hands when they are with Rebecca. She's a great communicator, very reliable, and wonderful with pets.
After meeting with Gwen we felt they were a good fit, and we scheduled nightly check ins/ feedings for our cats for the 10 days we would be visiting family. Gwen has such a pleasant demeanor and always talks to our cats just like we would! We made it clear that our priority is the cats getting love and attention and they consistently played with and loved on our cats. They are great at following instructions and not only made sure our cats were loved and fed but also took care of our many plants, and even tackled the weekly deep clean of our giant litter box! Our cats always seem happy to see Gwen and we got detailed updates and excellent communication throughout our trip. When we had to extend our trip for a couple days, they went above and beyond and accommodated to be able to continue the check-ins for those days. Gwen is a friendly, responsible, attentive person and is a fabulous sitter! We highly recommend their services!
Wendy was wonderful in taking care of our cat while we were gone for Christmas. She sent multiple pictures each day, stayed with Maggie longer than the minimum time to comfort and support her, and properly fed and watered her. I would hire Wendy again in a heartbeat and plan to do so when we go back to NY in May. This woman is one of the really professional and competent sitters out there. Thank you, Wendy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Dover is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 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 187 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.
