“Guiselle really went above and beyond to make sure our pets were all happy and comfortable! She was always responsive to questions, sent cute pictures, and gave reassuring updates. We will definitely reach out to her again in the future!”
“Paris did an excellent job. She followed my instructions and let me know when she had questions or concerns. I returned home to two happy cats. I'll definitely request Paris again in the future.”
“Amber was a great caretaker for my pet cat over the Holidays! My pet was well taken care of and had lots of pets and play time. Would highly recommend!”
“Absolutely excellent. We went on a long trip to Asia and the biggest thing for me was that I could actually enjoy my trip because I knew they were in great hands. She walked our dog daily in addition to playing with her outside in the backyard and really helped get her energy out and quality time. She was patient and kind with our cats and did an excellent job in finding ways to get them to take their medicine (3 of the 4 cats take medication). She cleaned our house throughout the stay but did a final clean on the day we got back and that was such a huge plus for us. It was nice coming home to happy animals and a clean house in order. So happy we found Tara and can’t wait to have her pet sit again.”
“Carrie took wonderful care of my cats while I was away. She kept me updated with thoughtful messages about how they were doing, which gave me great peace of mind. My cats were clearly very comfortable and well cared for in her presence. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing with my two cats! She came over to feed and play with them while I was out of town and I can tell they loved her. She clearly gave them lots of love and attention while I was gone - they barely registered that I was back. ? She sent great updates and pictures and was great with communication both before and during the visits. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book her again!”
“Spencer and Julia were fantastic! They were super flexible for a meet and greet before completing a drop in visit for me. During the visit, they messaged me when they arrived, made sure to leave a note about how my dog did, and reassured me that they had locked the doors back when they left — all without me asking first. They sent multiple pictures and went above and beyond what I had asked them to do to care for my pup! Can’t recommend them highly enough!”
“My cat Hannah was well taken care of and in good hands while I was away! Lisa gave great drop-in visits and left Rover cards to keep me updated. Thanks for a reliable service!”
About: I've taken care of many breeds and ages of dogs including pets with behavioral issues, medical needs, senior dogs, and puppies! I am comfortable walking dogs of all sizes, and am happy to adjust to your pet's needs. I also have experience trimming nails, administering medication, and adhering to specific dietary needs. I am working 9-5 in the office during the week, but am happy to care for pets in the evenings or weekends! Please let me know your scheduling needs and I’m happy to assess whether I’m the right person for you and your furry family. I have experience with many kinds and styles of dog ownership, so I'm happy to care for your pet however you need! I'm willing to stay in a client's home if a pet needs overnight care, or simply drop in for walks, medications, or feedings during the work day.
“Julia is amazing!! Our new puppy, Mocha, fell in love with her immediately, and Julia is so good with her! Julia is very kind and attentive with Mocha, and she has done a great job helping Mocha with leash training and good behavior on walks. Julia takes excellent care of Mocha and always sends prompt, thoughtful, and detailed updates to us for each visit. Best of all, she is incredibly reliable, always on time, and she is extremely flexible with schedule changes or if something comes up at the last minute. We can't imagine using anyone else!”
“Brenna was wonderful! She dropped in on our dog Sadie for 3 days when we had to be away all day, and Brenna did a great job of taking Sadie for a walk and spending time with her.”
“Sarah was wonderful with the cats. They got along with her really well and she was very thorough in giving us updates and photos. I will definitely be asking her to cat sit again in the future!”
“We LOVE Claudia and so do our cats!! She is so reliable and has checked in with us if a cat is acting funny or off. We feel really comfortable leaving our cats when she is sitting (and that is coming from a very anxious cat mom).”
“Mya is the best . she watched our cat and did a wonderful job . she also watched our dog and our dogs friend. we always come home to well cared for and happy pets !! highly recommend her !! thanks”
“Shannon did an AMAZING job helping us when we needed a last minute drop in visit. She took such good care of our pup, providing lots of play, cuddles, and not giving up when our front door was a pain to unlock and I was being terrible about checking my phone. Couldn't reccomend more!”
“Anne does a great job with my 3 kitties. They all have different personalities, but Anne has a special relationship with each one. I feel much better about travelling.”
“Lauren was amazing with our two cats! She provided great updates and was so sweet with them! Would definitely book her again for future visits!”

Amanda was incredible!!! We completely forgot to send over the pet care instructions and were unable to communicate due to not having service and she still did literally every single thing that we told her about at the meet and greet. She was kind and attentive and the animals all loved her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Dover on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 7,657 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
