“Mya was an outstanding sitter for our cat while we were away on vacation! She took care of our cat exactly as instructed (including giving medication) and made sure to spend time with her (even though the cat is shy!). She sent lots of great photos of our cat and we had peace of mind knowing Mya was on the job.”
“I know it’s stupid of me to not meet before the pet sitting, but Jiesen not only made me comfortable, but made my sweet angel baby (Mr. Man (cat)) feel comfortable. Jiesen is trustworthy, punctual, friendly, and VERY communicative. I am so happy to have had him as a sitter and will definitely be booking again. 12/10”
About: I have experience with all kinds of situations when it comes to pets. I’ve sat for dogs ranging from 10-90+lbs, cared for senior and special needs animals, and watched up to 9 pets at a time! No matter the size, care needs, or number of animals, I can handle it. I am currently a full time college student at Marymount University with classes Monday-Thursday, so I am currently only offering pet sitting from Friday-Sunday or on holidays and breaks. When I stay at your home, I make sure to keep the environment clean and free of hazards for your pets. I make sure never to let pets get into anything they’re not supposed to and I go out of my way to make sure that not only is the environment safe, but your pet feels safe and happy.
About: I spent a month caring for an elderly dog back in college. I ensured she received her daily medications and took her on walks on the icy Midwest winter sidewalks. She was a joy to spend time with! I currently work part time and on my own schedule, so I am flexible and able to schedule a visit that can meet your fur-baby’s needs! I wake up early and am available in the mornings and in the afternoons, and also can make time for nighttime visits. For the time being, I offer drop in services and dog walking. I am happy to arrange with you the best possible care for your pet and learn more about how to care for your unique fur-baby! Please tell me your needs and wishes and we will communicate and create a plan together. I am happy to send photos and updates of your pet at the frequency you would like! (By the way, I am known for my photography and have been complimented on the photos I take of pets not only because they are adorable but also because they capture the essence of their personality)
“Cindy was great with Zoey! She’s very communicative, sent updates and photos throughout their visit. I highly recommended using Cindy’s services, I know I’ll be a repeat customer the next time I head out of town!”
“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!”
“Hannah took wonderful care of our medium-sized dog over the Fourth of July weekend. She was flexible, communicative, and proactive throughout the stay, especially when helping us monitor how our dog was handling the heat and the fireworks. When our return flights were unexpectedly canceled, she didn’t hesitate to extend the booking, which was a big help and peace of mind. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Hannah again and highly recommend her!”
“Kaiyue was incredibly helpful and communicative throughout the entire visit. She cleaned my cat’s bowls and scooped the litter box which I really appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“Aly has consistently showed up for us when we need her most! She treats our pup well and is thorough in her reports for how our dog is doing. We appreciate her so much & recommend highly!”
“Hannah was great! I booked her to spend a couple of hours with our dogs during the day while our night sitter was working. We have a Corso. Hannah was gracious to come meet our dogs prior to appointment.”
“Maria did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats while we were away! I really appreciated the little updates and photos of how they were doing. They were happy and well taken care of, and I would definitely entrust our fur babies with Maria again in the future!”
“Tiffanie provided excellent care to my cat, and even offered additional flexibility when it looked like my return date was going to be delayed. Tiffanie also provided detailed information on how my cat was doing each day, and it’s clear my cat warmed up to her fast.”
“Spencer and Julia were so kind, responsive, and absolutely amazing with my dog! Loved loved loved the photos they sent - cannot recommend them enough!”
“Thao was incredible. Super communicative and super loving towards our senior dog. We never had any doubt that he was being well cared for. Will definitely use her again at any opportunity!”
“My cats seemed to really like Larissa! We were away for a week and upon arrival home the litter boxes were clean as was the kitchen with their used and washed wet food bowls.”
“Amanda is the best! We are so glad she could check in on our kitty last minute. She is always so thoughtful, communicative, and easy to coordinate with!”
“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.”
“We needed someone on short notice and Alexandria responded immediately. She was friendly, easy to communicate with, and made the process stress-free. She was great with our 8-month-old rescue, Poppy, who’s still adjusting and can be reactive on leash. Alexandria was patient and understanding, handling Poppy thoughtfully. We loved the photos and report card after each visit and would definitely book Alexandria again—Poppy would be happy to see her too!”
“Drew was great with my “quirky” dogs while I was out of town. She took great care of them. She was on time, provided photos, kept me informed, etc. I would definitely use Drew again in the future.”
“Carrie did a fantastic job checking in on our cat, Pasha. She was very communicative, diligent, and caring. He looked happy in all the photos. We’d definitely book her again.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Dover
Audrey was truly amazing and went above and beyond to take excellent care of Archie. She went to check on him after a storm, and also stopped by due to an issue at my house with no questions asked. Archie seemed happy, relaxed, and had a clean litter box when I got home. I will absolutely use her again!!
Claudia took care of our 17 year old cat, Rom, for 8 days. She dealt with multiple food stations and litter pans plus an alarm. Claudia kept us up to date on roms well being including daily pictures. She went above and beyond to help Rom by trying to spend time with our anti social cat. Having Claudia there really reduced our worry providing Rom with excellent care.
Tiffanie was wonderful watching our cat, Pekoe, during our 2 week international vacation. We definitely went in with anxieties about the length of our time away plus the time difference, but Tiffanie's attentiveness (and the plentiful pictures) reassured us that Pekoe was getting the proper care. She followed feeding directions perfectly, kept our home and the litterboxes clean, and gave Pekoe plenty of affection and play time each visit. This is our second time time booking with Tiffanie and we feel really lucky to have had a trustworthy cat-sitter so we could enjoy our vacation worry-free! Thank you Tiffanie!
When planning for my vacation, I was so glad Tasneem was available again! She’s very communicative, gets the best pics of my cat Klaus, and takes care of everything so well. It’s a big relief to know Klaus is in good hands while I’m gone! Highly recommend Tasneem!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Dover on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,684 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.
