“I cannot recommend Alexis enough! We have a former stray who has only recently transitioned to being an indoor cat, so she can be very shy and particular about her food. I was nervous about leaving her, but Alexis was incredible. They respected her space, handled her specific feeding routine perfectly, and made sure she was safe and happy. If you have a rescue or a timid pet, this is the sitter for you. 5 stars!”
About: 🐾 Welcome to Our Home for Happy Dogs! 🐾 We’re a family that absolutely adores pets — they’re our babies, and we’ll treat yours the same way! Our own furry family includes a longhair Chihuahua we rescued as a pup, a Chow-Chow mix rescued from the woods, and two gentle Great Pyrenees who serve as our lovable outdoor guardians. Growing up with dogs, I can’t imagine life without them, and I’ve had the joy of dog-sitting for multiple families over the years. Your pups will be supervised at all times and safe when we step out for errands. Most dogs love the socialization here — it’s a blast to watch them play and make friends! As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home full-time to care for your dogs with plenty of love, attention, and snuggles. I can’t wait to welcome your furry family members into our home! Our property sits on 15 acres and is home to chickens, guinea fowl, and turkeys. The backyard is fully fenced, providing a safe, fun space for your pups to run, explore, and play. We have lots of dog toys available, so there’s no need to bring extras — we’ll keep your toys safe and avoid any mix-ups. 🕕 Hours: 6am–9pm (Flexible if you need early drop-offs or late pick-ups — just ask!) 🎁 Referral Bonus: Refer a friend who books a stay, and you’ll receive 1 free night for one of your dogs! We’d love to meet your pups and give them a safe, happy, and loving home-away-from-home. Feel free to reach out with any questions — thanks so much for checking out our profile! I'm home full time so we will mostly be here with your fur baby. If we do leave for a playground or errand it's for a short time. I have two dogs of my own for socialization and a crate or separate room if needed if there's a dog that needs a break.
“Kim was fabulous! She did drop in visits for our two cats while we were out of town for 10 days and it was such a relief to have her. We will definitely book with her in the future!”
“We have used Aubrey and Brandon several times when we have gone on trips and they have taken wonderful care of our pets, been respectful of our home and responsive when we had questions or requests to see images of certain pets we missed! One time over the holiday the power went out and they were willing to stay extra time until it seemed the power came on if needed, and as they are nearby were able to leave and come check on the pets as the day went on — they were able to use common sense in an unexpected situation. Our shy cats aren’t scared of them and they know how to win over both cats and dogs. 5 stars plus and overall amazing experience !!”
“Abby was phenomenal!! We have a new puppy and she showered him with so much love and helped keep our puppy on his routine. We loved getting photos during the visits and updates on potty breaks! Abby was very respectful of our house and very trustworthy! 1000/10 will be booking again with her! Thank you again Abby we will see you soon next month!”
About: I have always been surrounded by dog, whether it was my own or taking care of others. I believe that dogs deserve as much love as they give us. I am a homebody, but that means that I'll be more available to hang out with your dog for walks or trips to the park. I live in a townhouse apartment, which means that I have experience with walking dogs around non-fenced areas. This also means I will be observant if you do have a fenced area.
“Alamo was absolutely amazing. I had to leave in short notice for a trip but regardless she was fully ready to go. She took care of my kitties like they were her own and sent me text/pictures consistently to let me know they were okay. My children absolutely loved her. 10/10 recommend.”
“Hannah has been visiting my Danes for several months now and is great with them. My puppy can be a handful and she is calm and patient with him. She is dependable and trustworthy. We are lucky to have found her.”
“Alyson was great! Gave daily updates including photos and provided a nice balance of love/care and respect of boundaries for our cats. Would definitely book again!”
About: Hi! I am Cherrie! I’ve taken care care of dogs and cats since I was a teenager. Familiar with dogs and cats of different personalities and age :) i can handle different sizes of dogs and help with their training. A lot of patience and love to get familiar with me the pet sitter and skilful at playing with them. Ready to take care of your pet with short notice :) I am currently in between jobs, so I am available anytime of the day to help take care of your pet! I welcome reservation within short notice. Both long-term and short-term reservations are welcomed! I have experiences of pet sitting at different homes and apartments. Your place and pet will be safe with me :) i am also an experienced in walking dogs in the neighborhood to ensure a safe but fun walk for your dog :)
About: Most of my experience is with dogs of friends or co-workers. I generally keep their dogs at their place where they are most comfortable and take them out frequently for walks/runs or whatever they'd like to do. So long as the dog is house trained and not on the "forbidden breed list" at the apartments I stay, they are welcome to my home too. I've sat a Pointer/Dalmation mix, Maltese mix, Shepherd mix, Chow Chow, Boxer, Cane Corso, and 2 Weimaraners in the past. My fulltime job is a nurse, and I only work 36 hours a week. I don't really consider pet sitting or walking a job because I love dogs so much. Just looking to make some extra income and maybe start my own business someday. I have a laid back personality and dogs tend to take to me immediately or at least stay true to their breeds. Chow Chow was my brother-in-law's dog who barked at me a good 3-4 times before she knew I wasn't a total stranger. Bothered me none.
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with two pets of my own, each with their own quirks and personalities. That's why I never take a "one-size-fits-all" approach, every dog and cat deserves care that matches who they are. I've also volunteered at the Durham shelter, where I gained experience supporting pets who just need patience, love and understanding. I recently completed a dog training course with Carolina Dog Training LLC. Additionally I have seven months of experience walking dogs for another company, during which I maintained a perfect safety record with no incidents. Whether it's a walk, playtime or some extra snuggles, I'll treat your pet like family and make sure they get the attention they deserve. I'm available from Monday to Thursday from 9am to 5pm Your pet will enjoy a spacious, secure backyard where they can play, explore, and stay happily engaged. At night, they'll rest comfortably indoors in a clean, cozy create, ensuring they feel safe and well cared for all times.
About: I have always had a deep love for animals, and caring for them has been a natural part of my life. From energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets, who need more patience and comfort, I truly enjoy getting to know each animal's unique personality. I currently own 3 big dogs, each with their own unique needs - they are such a joy to take care of each day. Whether your pet likes long walks, endless fetch and playtime, or quiet companionship, I am more than happy to meet them where they're most comfortable. 🐾 For the summer months, my availability is wide open! Weekdays and weekends as needed. As a middle school teacher, I provide care and compassion no matter the day. During the "back to school season" - I will still prioritize the care needed regardless, and will make scheduling work to the best of my ability! I have a big fenced in yard for my three dogs at home. For drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins, I provide the absolute best care given the environment (Fresh water, food, and playtime always). With NC heat, I make sure to prioritize pet health and wellness alongside their happiness. Each animal is unique and I make sure to take all factors and needs into consideration with each visit! ❤️
About: Owner of dogs, cats, and horses of all ages. I love long walks and quality snuggles spent on the couch. Would love to love on your pet(s)! It brings me joy to be around animals big, medium, and small :) I go to Duke Divinity School. I have a relatively free and flexible schedule during the week. Most weekends are free for outdoor activities and adventures. I'd love to bring your dog along and am looking for a good companion during this season in my life. I am attentive and make sure they are taken out every couple of hours for a bathroom break and/or exercise. I love to snuggle but also offer space for introverted/shy pets. I am loving and hands-on, if that’s your pet’s cup of tea. I miss having a pet of my own at the moment, so I take every chance I can get to be with others’ pets!
About: I've had dogs both large and small since I was a kid. I'm very experienced in dog behavior and handling both puppies and senior dogs. I have 2 small Chihuahua mixes, one is a senior and the other is around 7 years old. I work from home full time so will have plenty of time to play and take of your fur babies. I enjoy watching them at play and am able to work around their schedules. I have a large fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby(s) company. I can easily crate your dog if needed although I do not crate my own. I own a ranch home so very few steps to navigate for senior dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of neighborhood and family friends’ dogs for 7+ years. I have walked, house sat, and stayed overnight. I am experienced with all dogs! I will be attending graduate school in the area and have a very flexible schedule. I can walk or house sit most afternoons, Fridays, and weekends! I am available to walk dogs at any trail or in neighborhoods close to you or where I live. I am available to feed, crate, or any other service as well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Butner is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $24 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 October 2026, there are 4,997 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Butner. 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 Butner. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
