“Alondra was amazing!! Our girl cat is very shy and nervous around strangers but I could tell they were both very very happy, comfortable, and well taken care of! Alondra took the time to play with them and sent adorable pictures”
“Nicholas and Tamara always take such great care of our cat Peeta whenever we’re away! They’re super communicative, and Peeta is always so comfortable with them. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in good hands while we’re gone. We’re so lucky to have them close by.”
“Kiara was absolutely wonderful. She was super thorough, sweet, kind, communicative, and thoughtful. She was on-time every single day, and really built a bond with my kitties. There were times while I was away I was super busy, but I knew my cats were in good hands as every single visit she sent me updates with photos, so I could look down at my phone, sigh, relax and know they were taken care of. She is also very nice and seems to be very educated on animals as she works closely with them and has her own. I 10/10 recommend her and would 100% trust her with your babies. My kittens are my world, so the absolute best care is nessesssary, and that best care is with Kiara.”
About: With over 14 years of personal pet care experience, I bring a deep understanding of what it takes to keep dogs happy and thriving. For over a decade, I lovingly cared for my own dog through all stages of life, and I have spent years fostering dogs of various breeds, backgrounds, and temperaments. Fostering has taught me how to be incredibly patient, how to read canine body language, and how to help anxious or shy dogs feel safe in a new environment. I treat every guest with the same dedicated, individualized care I gave my own pets and fosters.🐾🐶 I currently work part-time, which gives me a very consistent and reliable daily routine. I am fully available every single day during the afternoon from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM, making me the perfect fit for midday potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I also have plenty of extra time in the evenings during the weekend for dinner feedings or cozy companionship! When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and your furry family members with the same love, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, so I do my best to keep their usual routine consistent—including feeding times, walks, playtime, cuddles, and potty breaks—to help ease any stress or separation anxiety. I also make sure your home stays secure by keeping doors locked and ensuring pets are safely inside before I leave. Most importantly, I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, loved, and in caring hands! 🐕
About: We are a loving and lively household where we will snuggle and play fetch with your pup, take them to the dog park, and keep them happy and occupied. My husband and I have a very active goldendoodle, Bell, who is 9 years old. Neither of us remember a time when there wasn't a dog in the house growing up! We know that we are taking on no small task when we agree to be responsible for your furry friend. We will follow your instructions to a T and we realize that every doggo is their own unique individual with their own unique needs. We are pros when it comes to high-energy dogs with a mind of their own! I am a full-time parent of three and we have a dog of our own whom we are home with all day. Staying active with our doodle is an integral part of our daily routine and we would love to have even more walks, games of fetch, and tricks + treats to look forward to! We LOVE to love on your pet! In our home you can expect a minimum of two 20-minute walks a day, plus more upon request and some leash time in our back yard if they like to hang out and observe the world. We are big proponents of fetch and chase.
“Erinn was great! She sent us so many photos of our furrbabies and kept us up-to-date with their progress. We recommend her with question to anyone looking for a reliable sitter for their dogs and cats!”
“Jennifer was amazing! She watched our cat, Shrimp Toast, over the Thanksgiving holiday while we were out of town visiting family, and we felt SO at ease. She communicated great with us, provided us the cutest pictures of Shrimp Toast, was considerate, and most of all, our cat loved her! I look forward to having the peace of mind I did on this trip as I do my next :)”
“My dogs are having a great time getting to know Jennie. She sends me videos of the dogs wagging their tails and playing. She also keeps me updated on how the visits are going and sends a bunch of photos which is great! Jennie is very communicative and responsive. She has attended to all of my requests and followed any instructions I have provided. Jennie has been a pleasure to interact with and I’m glad my dogs have responded so well to her care. I highly recommend Jennie!”

I cannot say enough good things about Julia. Our cat is a diabetic she was extremely intune to his behaviors and when he was acting very different she never hesitated to call us and take action. Her dedication to his well being saved his life as he was having a diabetic crisis. She took him to vet and followed up everyday with the direction from the doctor. Julia was amazing and cannot thank her enough for her care to our cat while we were away.

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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
