Cat Sitting in Dover

“Had to be admitted to the hospital and I knew I would be gone for a few days so I needed to look for someone who could drop in a couple times a day to feed and care for my two cats. I chose Liam for his rating and he lived closed to my home. I was not disappointed and will definitely use him again if the need arises. I receive daily pictures and updates which alleviated any anxiety about their condition and they looked exactly like they would if I were there; meaning I have one calm cat and one anxious cat and the pictures showed they were totally behaving as they usually do so I knew they were fine. 😂 Thank you Liam!!!”

“We are so thankful for Brian!! We had a bad experience with a local pet sitting company so we went looking on Rover when we were going away for Thanksgiving. Brian immediately put two anxious cat parents at ease and we left without a worry. Brian was communicative, prompt, kind, and got the cutest pictures of our cats. We will definitely be using his services again and confidently recommend him to any pet parents!!! Thank you, Brian!”

“Marilin is an amazing sitter! She went above and beyond. My dog is a little scared of new people and she took time to do an additional meet and greet, made my dog feel comfortable and was a great communicator.”

“Paola has been a wonderful cat-sitter for our cat Mocha for two different trips. She is caring, sweet with our cat, and has been great to communicate with. We highly recommend Paola!”

Laura A.

“I cannot speak more highly of Marilyn!!!!!! She is THE BEST dog sitter I could ever, EVER ask for!!!!! No others compare!!!! Not only is she so gentle and responsible with my dog, but she goes above and beyond what is asked for; taking him to the nearby playground for fun times, relaxing in the sun, cuddling and loving on him in my home, sweetly playing with his favorite toys, even taking selfies to show me how much she cares for him. It literally brings tears to my eyes seeing these pictures because of how safe I feel Mickey is and how wonderful she is!!! She follows instructions to the tee and she’s perfect!! I adore her!!! Please use her!!!! Your puppy will have another mommy 🤗🐶❤️”

About: I am a dog mom currently without a dog. I lost my soul dog, Bogart, in 2023 after having him from 10 weeks old to just shy of his 14th birthday. He was so spoiled, everyone we know can confirm. During his last few years, he suffered from a collapsed trachea so we went through many health phases. He lived three years past when the vet said we would probably lose him. I feel that’s due to my love and care. I’m also the person at friends and family’s houses that their pets flock too. Dogs, and even cats, just know I’m an animal lover. I would love to love on your furry child. I’m currently a self employed cake baker and decorator with lots of time on my hands. I may even bring some fresh baked doggy treats for your pet, assuming you’re ok with it. My dog Bogart used to love his peanut butter, banana, and pumpkin treats. I’m willing to do whatever works for your pet and your home. I’m used to crate training but if you need a stay over night visit, I’m fine with your dog sleeping in bed if that’s what they are used to. I’m there to keep them company, keep them safe and keep them loved.

About: (UPDATED 07/25) Hi there! I'm Jess. I've been working through Rover for 7 years now. Presently, I offer house sitting, drop-ins, and walks. Previously, my days were filled with doggy day care (3 repeat, regular clients) and overnight boarding. For the safety of my cat and your animal, I can no longer offer day care and boarding. I work remotely in media management for a television streaming service which provides me the fortunate flexibility throughout the day to watch and care for your dogs. Your dog (or dogs!) will be in quality hands, as they are my number one priority while you enjoy your vacation, business trip, or just need a last minute sitter! I get it! You will receive timely updates as requested. As a pet owner myself, I empathize with the need to have someone reliable, trust-worthy, smart and caring. I exercise a level of care no less than I would expect for my pet. I work remotely (Monday - Friday) for a job where I can devote ample time to your dog(s). Able to walk/take out every 2 hours, if necessary. In the nicer weather, I work outside with them. No matter what, I always ensure your dog(s) are comfortable, safe, and their needs are met as if they were my own. I feel grateful to be in a flexible position in order to help you! On the weekends, I can definitely be more adventurous with your dog. I gather information from you (if not already provided), especially before staying in your home (behaviors, feeding, outside/walking schedules, training, sleeping, kenneling, restrictions, emergency care, etc). I'm extra attentive to your dog's behavior if I am new, since they're just getting to trust me. I keep their routine as normal as possible and provide a safe, playful environment while you are away.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was little, and there’s rarely been a time I didn’t have a pet of my own to care for. I have experience dog walking and pet sitting (both cats and dogs) from neighbors and friends and am looking forward to doing so for your fur babies too! I work from home as an artist which leaves me with a very flexible schedule to give your pets the attention and care that they need. Most of my availability is weekdays but it changes week to week. The pet care I offer includes walks and drop-in visits. You can rest assured your pets will be loved and well taken care of with me. Please communicate any preferences or concerns and I will do my best to accommodate!

About: As a dog lover, I care about the safety and happiness of your pet. I will always go out of my way to make sure an animal is comfortable and cared for. Since I adopted my chihuahua with an attitude almost 5 years ago, I've learned to understand and respect boundaries. I have cared for friends' dogs of all breeds when they are away and I have also fostered a couple of dogs. I would love to spend some time with your pet! I am a graphic designer by day, but I work from home so my schedule is fairly flexible. I will be able to care for your pet in the late afternoons or evenings, and sometimes on weekends, especially Sundays! I follow instructions thoroughly and respect your space, as well as your dog's boundaries. I understand that I am entering your pet's home. My communication with owners is important to me, and I can send updates and photos when I am with your pet if requested.

“My Dalmatian Freddy had great time playing with Kavin and his pup Kobe. Kevin is punctual, knows dogs well and how to put them at ease. I do recommend Kevin.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a genuine passion for caring for furry family members. Having grown up surrounded by dogs my entire life. I’ve experienced every stage of puppyhood and understand their unique needs, energy levels and personalities that each dog brings.

I have a fenced yard to protect my dogs and cats! We have cat crates and pouches to make sure they get some outdoor time.

“Raj and Ken were very caring and thoughtful. They kept me informed about how my cat was adjusting to new surroundings, and what she was doing. I’m so pleased with Raj and Ken and will definitely contact them the next time I plan on going away, as well as recommend them. My cat was very well taken care of, and I totally trust and will rely on them again, even though it might not be until next summer!”

About: Pet Care Experience With a lifelong passion for animals, I have cultivated extensive experience caring for a diverse array of creatures, including dogs, cats, non-venomous snakes, ferrets, fish, and rodents, through both personal devotion and professional work. Since childhood, I’ve been drawn to animals of all kinds—whether they have scales, fur, fins, or feathers—and have spent years nurturing my own pets while honing my skills. My professional experience includes working at a pet store, where I strengthened my expertise in animal husbandry, handling, and care for a wide variety of species, from setting up habitats for reptiles to advising on proper nutrition for fish and rodents. This hands-on background has equipped me to manage everything from a playful puppy’s energy to a senior pet’s gentle requirements. I am adept at administering medications with precision and adhering to specific dietary needs, ensuring each pet receives tailored care that keeps them healthy and happy. What Sets Me Apart from Other Sitters What distinguishes me is my blend of personal passion and professional expertise, underpinned by my pet store experience, which has deepened my understanding of diverse animal needs. My special skills include puppy training, using positive reinforcement to teach basic commands and socialization, and senior pet care, where I provide gentle support, including mobility assistance and careful monitoring of health conditions. My work with exotic animals, such as snakes and ferrets, allows me to confidently manage their unique requirements, from habitat maintenance to specialized feeding. I’m available any day, any time, regardless of weather, prioritizing safety and comfort for both your pet and myself. This is just the beginning of my journey, and my enthusiasm to continue learning ensures your pets receive exceptional, compassionate care that goes beyond the ordinary. Schedule: How Pet Care Fits into My Daily or Weekly Routine Having recently been laid off, I have chosen to pursue my lifelong passion for animals by making pet care my full-time profession. This transition allows me to dedicate my entire schedule to providing exceptional care for your pets, ensuring flexibility and availability to meet their needs. My daily and weekly routine is fully centered around pet sitting, dog walking, and animal care, accommodating creatures of all kinds—whether they have scales, fur, fins, or feathers. I am available any day, any time, regardless of weather, to provide services such as dog walking, pet sitting, administering medications, or adhering to specific dietary requirements. My professional experience at a pet store, combined with my personal expertise with dogs, cats, non-venomous snakes, ferrets, fish, and rodents, equips me to handle diverse care needs with precision and compassion. Whether it’s daily walks for an energetic puppy, gentle care for a senior pet, or specialized attention for exotic animals, I structure my schedule to prioritize the safety, comfort, and happiness of every pet. This is just the beginning of my full-time journey in pet care, and I am committed to tailoring my routine to ensure your animals receive the dedicated, loving attention they deserve. Pet Sitting (In Your Home or Mine) In Your Home: When pet sitting in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s familiar environment to minimize stress. I conduct a thorough pre-visit consultation to understand your pet’s routine, dietary needs, and any special requirements, such as medication administration, for which I am highly experienced. I adhere strictly to your instructions, ensuring precise feeding schedules and safe handling, particularly for exotic animals like snakes or ferrets that require specialized care. To ensure safety, I inspect the home for potential hazards (e.g., exposed wires or toxic plants) and secure any areas that could pose risks. For trust, I provide regular updates with photos or videos, so you know your pet is thriving. My COVID-19 precautions include wearing a mask during interactions when physical distancing is not possible, sanitizing hands before and after visits, and disinfecting any equipment used, such as feeding tools. In My Home: When caring for pets in my home, I create a clean, safe, and welcoming space tailored to their needs. My home is pet-proofed, with secure areas for different species—crates for dogs, enclosures for reptiles, or tanks for fish—to prevent accidents and ensure comfort. I maintain a calm environment, limiting stressors like loud noises, and provide separate spaces for animals that may not coexist well, such as rodents and cats. My experience with exotic and domestic animals allows me to set up appropriate habitats, such as temperature-controlled spaces for reptiles or cozy bedding for senior pets. I am adept at administering medications and meeting specific dietary needs, ensuring every pet feels at home. To build trust, I invite clients to visit my home beforehand and provide frequent updates during their pet’s stay. Dog Walking For dog walking, I am available any day, any time, regardless of weather, and prioritize safety and comfort for both your dog (or other walkable pets, like cats or ferrets) and myself. I use sturdy, well-fitted leashes and harnesses, inspecting them before each walk to ensure reliability. My routes are chosen to avoid hazards like busy roads, and I remain vigilant for environmental risks, such as extreme weather or aggressive animals. For puppies, I incorporate training techniques like positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior, while for senior dogs, I adjust pace and distance to suit their mobility. My pet store experience enhances my ability to read animal behavior, ensuring I respond promptly to signs of stress or discomfort. To maintain trust, I communicate with clients about their pet’s walk, noting any notable behaviors or incidents. COVID-19 safety measures include sanitizing equipment after each walk and maintaining physical distance during client interactions. Animal Care (General) Whether caring for exotic or domestic animals, I tailor my approach to each species’ unique needs. For example, I ensure proper habitat conditions for snakes (e.g., correct temperature and humidity), provide engaging activities for ferrets, and monitor water quality for fish. My pet store background has honed my skills in maintaining clean and safe enclosures, preventing health issues. I am meticulous in administering medications and following dietary restrictions, whether it’s hand-feeding a finicky cat or preparing specialized meals for a rodent. To foster trust, I keep clients informed with detailed updates and am available for questions at any time. My home and any client spaces I work in are kept clean and sanitized, with strict adherence to COVID-19 protocols, such as hand hygiene and equipment disinfection, to protect both pets and clients.
