“Alexandra always takes such good care of my cats when we are away. She makes sure they get attention and lot’s of pets during her visit. I will be happy to book with Alexandra again!”

“Natalie was great with the new puppy! She made sure he did not have any accidents in the house, took him on a walk, fed him, and played with him. Would choose Natalie everytime!”

About: I currently have a 4 year old beagle named Louie that I adore! Growing up I’ve had big dogs (Rhodesian ridge backs, pit bull mixes) and I’ve had little dogs (min pin, miniature poodle, and beagles) so no matter the size or age I am confident that I could handle them. I have a long hair cat and a beagle so I am used to scooping cat litter, picking up dog poop, and I’m not afraid of the occasional puke haha. I don’t mind grooming any size animal if necessary While pet sitting in the past I follow their feeding regime and would walk animals every couple hours. Of course give extra loves to pets while owners are away so they feel happy. Also lots of playing with them and their toys!
“Lauren was consistent with our twice a day drop-ins even after getting a huge amount of snow on day 2 of checking in on my 2 kitties! She took time to make sure their litter was clean, they were fed, and played with them. The report card photos were a treat we looked forward to after every visit! Will definitely book her again in the future.”

About: Hello, I am 33 years old and have had dogs and cats my whole life. I used to work at an Emergency OverNight Hospital for small animals (dogs and cats) I specialize in walking reactive aggressive dogs (I have a GSD that does not like other dogs) as well as escape artist dogs. I've had numerous different breeds, from hound dogs to huskies, so I am used to all temperaments. I love animals and have a lot of patience when it comes to animals. I don't mind walking in the rain and I always carry an extra harness, leash, and freeze dried lamb treats! I believe dogs are more then just family and deserve to be treated like it. I believe pets do better when watched inside of their own home, rather then going to a strangers or being boarded, I work from home so I will never leave your pet alone for more then an hour at a time, ensuring less crate time and a better balance for your pet. I work from home so I am always available for any emergency, no chewed up toys or foreign bodies on my watch! I never leave pets for more then an hour ( if i need to run to the grocery store) so whatever they need, I am there for. I prefer to stick the the routine that the owners have already set. I also prefer to do a meet and greet before any over night pet sitting to ensure I am the best fit for your pet and your pets needs. I believe that pets are family and should be treated as such.
“Miranda is very caring! I fully trust her caring for my puppies (3 and 6 month old puppies), she plays and interacts with them the whole time she is with them. Miranda provides very detailed reports”

“Greg did a great job with Jack! He stopped by before his bookings for 2 meet and greets to make sure Jack was comfortable. He went above and beyond with the walks, hangouts and training. We’re excited to book Greg again and we know Jack is too.”

“Tamia did an excellent job taking care of my dog and two kittens! She sent regular updates and even went the extra mile sweeping up after my messy dog despite no obligation to do so. I would recommend Tamia and I will definitely be using her services in the future!”
About: I have had a wide range of experience caring for a variety of pets ever since I was a young child. I have taken care of dogs and cats for over a decade. Your pet will have all the attention and care they need during their time with me or in my home. I work Monday to Friday with weekends off. I am able to care for them before and right after work, with family home during the day as well. I care for pets by feeding them their proper diet, playing with them/making them feel welcome, making sure their bathroom needs are met, and updating the owners.
“Vanessa is amazing there should be 10 stars on here! She has excellent communication very professional took fantastic care of my pets played with them cared for them. She made me feel at ease leaving them with her. If you’re looking for a top-notch sitter, Vanessa is the person you want to work with!”

“Rebecca was a lifesaver dropping in to let our Holly out and give her a little company! The drop in went well, and Holly was happy to see Rebecca. I will not hesitate to book Rebecca again. Thank you, Rebecca!!”


About: I have spent years caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I genuinely love building trust with every pet I meet. Whether it’s an energetic walk, a calming drop-in visit, or simply making sure your pet feels safe while you’re away, I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. My experience includes volunteering with Friends of Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter and Stafford Veterinary Hospital, where I worked alongside animal care professionals and gained hands-on experience with dogs of different temperaments, medical needs, and backgrounds. Those experiences taught me how to read canine body language, stay calm in stressful situations, and always put an animal’s comfort and safety first. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. I’ll treat your dog like family, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve every visit. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make your pet’s day a little brighter. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I do my best to accept last-minute bookings whenever possible and understand that plans can change unexpectedly. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or a drop-in visit while you’re at work or away, I’m committed to providing reliable, consistent care. My goal is to make scheduling easy and ensure your pet receives the attention and companionship they deserve. I believe pets are happiest in the comfort of their own home, where their routine stays familiar and stress is kept to a minimum. During each visit, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks, and, of course, lots of attention and affection. I take the time to understand your pet’s individual personality and routine, whether they prefer a long walk, a game of fetch, or simply a quiet companion. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own and always follow your instructions carefully. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy while giving you complete peace of mind. You’ll receive regular updates and photos after every visit so you always know how your furry family member is doing.
About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets since 2014. I currently have five dogs and three cats that take care of each day. They are my babies. I am a teacher on my summer break so my schedule is quite open apart from taking care of my own 5 pups and 3 cats. I offer drop in visits where I can spend time playing with your pup or cat, I can feed them, give them fresh water, and I also offer walking services.
“This was our first time using someone who wasn't family watch our puppies while we were away snd katie made us feel so confident that they were well taken care of! She was very communicative and the dogs had a blast with her! We will definitely be using her again for our next trip.”

“I’ve used Sara twice now for drop in feedings for my two cats while away. Once for a long weekend and another time for a full week. She’s excellent and I’d highly recommend her. Everything went so well - I couldn’t have asked for more. My two shy cats loved her too which made me so happy. Thanks again Sara!”

“This was our second time booking with Jennifer and we will definitely book with her again in the future! It’s so nice to know that Rosie is in good hands and that we have someone we can trust to take great care of her.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 3,911 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across New Hanover Township. 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.

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.
