“Steven was great! He followed all instructions perfectly, including medication administration for 1 of my cats. He even spent some time playing with them during his visits. I would be happy to hire him again.”
“Kate was great! It was our first Rover experience and she came to meet us ahead of time to ease our nerves. She was able to give our cat insulin shots and sent us pictures every day. Thank you for taking good care of our babies!”
“When we’re away it’s comforting to know Rosemary is looking after our pets. We know they’re in good hands. Rosemary seems to really care about them and they’re always in good spirits when we return, not stressed or upset with us.”
“Another great booking with Danielle for drop-in visits. Even though our cat never came out for her this trip, we received photos each day of clean food/water/boxes. Thanks again!”
“Catherine was wonderful to my kitties and a joy to work with. She’s reliable and resourceful even when my locks were finicky. She went above and beyond to care for my long haired cats, and I am so grateful to her.”
“Amanda took excellent care of our two cats! She communicated and provided updates. We had an issue with our key copy and she was very patient and flexible while we got it resolved. I really recommend Amanda!”
“Galina was so great with Peyton! She took her time to care for and play with him, cleaned the litter, and made sure to give us timely updates on his visits. Peyton was immediately comfortable with her and we appreciated her help!”
About: I am experienced in caring for dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles. I have had family pet dogs for 20 years and I am very involved in their care, health and wellbeing. I have had cats, guinea pigs, and a chameleon as a pet. I have provided excellent care for other people’s gerbil, chinchilla, bearded dragon and cats. I am available on the weekends at any time and my schedule varies with great flexibility during the week. Based on the day, I may have morning, afternoon, and evening availability. I am able to provide assured safety for your pet and gentle care when I watch them in your home and provide walks in local areas.
“Alina did a great job looking after our cat. She keeps active communication during her visit. Our cat is shy, however, they bonded really well. I already booked Alina for our next trip. Thanks, Alina !!”
“Eli was wonderful with our cat while we were away. She was very attentive and played her so she didn’t get bored as well as all the usual things like feeding her. Highly recommend Eli if you need a cat sitter.”
“My cats are often very nervous with strangers, but they have been obsessed from the moment they met Stacey! She does an amazing job taking care of them, playing with them, and giving me super detailed daily updates! I will always book Stacey 😊”
“Abby did a wonderful job. We have a high needs cat and she did a great job taking care of him. Our other cat is very shy and Abby made sure to find her every day and make sure she was eating her food. I highly recommend Abby!”

This is my second time using Jessica! She does an excellent job caring for my two cats - they really love having her visit. Jessica is very thorough, trustworthy, and has great attention to detail. She sends the best videos and pictures that give me peace of mind when I am away.
Kind, intuitive, and easy to work with. Wen Shin, with no advanced noticed, was able to meet me for a key hand off and immediately cover a weekend of drop-ins with my little guy. They took great care of him and followed all instructions. Looking forward to booking again!
Erin checked in on our cats while we were out of town for a couple of days and she was amazing!! Went the extra mile to make sure our kitties were taken care of and sent lots of pics and updates. So grateful to have found her, we recently moved and finding a reliable, trustworthy sitter can be difficult. We will definitely be using Erin in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Wilmington on Rover is $20.95 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Wilmington. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
