“We used Jenna for a meal-time drop in visit while we were out of town for a day. Jenna was so helpful and so good with our girls. She was completely reliable, let me know when she was coming by to feed them and even took pictures for us. Our one dog is shy and has diabetes requiring medication, including an injection at meal times - Jenna handled it all like a pro. We are so relieved to have found a reliable, skilled person to help with our girls! We will definitely be booking Jenna again in the future! Thank you Jenna!”

“I was so lucky to find Alyssa! She’s extremely reliable and very thorough in her care of my cat. He warmed up to her immediately and usually he’s very shy. She’s very intuitive and gentle with him and ensures his food and water are replenished and his litter is clean. I highly recommend her services and look forward to working with her again!”

About: I retired several years ago and love dogs. I have had dogs all my life and we currently are home to four beautiful dogs. I’ve seen everything you could expect with a dog and can handle any situation calmly and lovingly. I’m retired and looking for something to keep me occupied. I have a very flexible schedule and love dogs so I can be available at almost anytime you would need me. We have a large yard and quiet neighborhood on a culdesac. It’s perfect for walking and exploring. We are also close to the land trust for those extra special walks

“Sandy was a fantastic caregiver for our "old man" cat. He took to her immediately (not typical of him) and was well cared for. Sandy was prompt with daily check-ins and gave us feedback and photos at every visit. We cane home to a calm and happy kitty. Sandy is definitely a pet person and we highly recommend her!”

“Kristin was awesome! I was able to contact her last minute about Stevie and she was able to come out the next day to help me out. Her and Stevie got along the second she walked in. I would recommend her to anyone who needs to leave their pet behind because they’ll be in good hands!”

About: I’ve spent my entire life around dogs, and have helped care for my family’s four legged friends for as long as I can remember. I’m no stranger to walking, feeding and cleaning up after dogs of all shapes and sizes. As a teenager, my neighbors and friends entrusted me to care for their pets. Whether they were going to be home from work late and needed someone to walk their dog or were going out of town for a weekend, I was there to help. No matter your dog’s age, size or energy level, I am confident I can provide the best possible care for them! I am currently working remotely so I am available to care for your pups at any hour of any day! From early mornings to late nights, I will be there. At home, I have a fenced in yard where my dogs are able to run and play free, but I also make sure they get plenty of leash walks around the neighborhood. Regardless of your home/ yard’s set up I can ensure your pup will get the best possible care.

The search is officially over! 😊 I finally found my go to cat sitter! Val was absolutely amazing with Red and Sam. From the very beginning, she made me feel completely at ease. She was always punctual and dependable, and I could tell she genuinely cared about my boys and wasn’t just stopping by to feed them and leave. I LOVED getting all the pictures and little updates from every visit. She kept me posted on what they were doing, how they were eating, and their daily antics. She even monitored how many times they peed and pooped! 😂 Now THAT is attention to detail! It honestly made such a huge difference while we were on vacation because I knew she was really paying attention to how they were doing. I never once felt like I needed to cut our trip short because I knew Red and Sam were in great hands. Finding someone you completely trust with your fur babies is not easy, so I’m incredibly happy we found Val. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and trustworthy pet sitter. She is truly one of a kind and will absolutely be our go to person from now on. I’m pretty sure Red and Sam are wondering when Val is coming back. 😂❤️🐾

After another sitter canceled last minute, Emily was able to come in and watch my cats on short notice (over the holiday, at that!) She always did her check-ins in a timely manner and provided detailed updates. I’m very happy and would book with her again.

Christine is our go-to for caring for our pups. This was a short notice request because of a short notice business meeting and medical appointment on the same day. We asked Christine and she really saved the day!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - South Bethany

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in South Bethany is $29 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $41 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 466 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across South Bethany. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Bethany. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
