“Kelly was great to work with! She took on my last minute need as well as the unexpected add-on of two additional pets. She was also super patient with my slow response time due to a family emergency. The 2 cats and 2 high energy crazy teenage kittens were very well cared for - Kelly sent lots of photos and an update every day which was comforting. She was also very punctual. Will absolutely hire her again!”
“Bailey did a great job looking after my kitties. She spoon fed my finicky ginger girl and took special care of her. She also followed instructions well. I highly recommend.”
“Aspen was so great with my Beau! She was super flexible and helped me out last minute. She sent me updates and pictures which really put me at ease and Beau seemed calm and happy to see her. I'll definitely be asking her to petsit again!”
“My cat has been a resilient solo girl whenever I go on vacation; though recently, she's needed a revamped feeding schedule. Taylor took incredible care of my girl with this new feeding plan (and assuaging my newfound worries) - coming 2x a day to feed her and learning how to use my automatic wet food feeder to ensure my girl gets an early-morning snack to calm her sensitive stomach. Definitely recommend, but not when I need her ;)”
“Mary was great! Great communication and cared for my two cats very well. Spent time with them on every visit and made sure I felt comfortable with her care for them! Will ask for her help again for sure.”
About: Hi! My name is Mack, and I’m a chemist in the RTP area with a lifelong love of critters! I grew up caring for dogs and cats and love to spoil and pamper them. I have experience caring for pups of all personalities and ages, including senior dogs with medical needs. I am also experienced with fish and other aquatic critters, as well as birds! I understand that every pet has their own unique routine, personality, and needs, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I especially enjoy working with medium-sized and large dogs and love getting to know each pup as an individual. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra companionship, or care while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help! DISCOUNT- I offer a discounted rate for house sitting during the day without overnight stays (typically 8am to 8pm). If this is of interest to you, reach out and I’ll offer the discounted rate! I am an early riser and can best help with early morning and afternoon pet care! My schedule is flexible and I can accommodate a variety of scheduling needs and pet care styles. For house sitting bookings, I am committed to leaving your home clean and showing your home the care and respect it deserves! This includes keeping your pets safe and comfortable in their home, staying on their schedules, and cleaning up.
“Meaghan was extremely attentive to my cats behavior and needs, and was extremely responsive and communicative via the Rover app. I truly appreciated her thoroughness, care and love she gave my kitties!”
About: I've been pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was 16 and have been around dogs my entire life. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets of all ages and personalities. I have volunteered with animal rescues since I was 12, fostered numerous dogs and cats, and am comfortable providing basic medical care, including oral medications, eye drops, injections, and subcutaneous fluids when needed. I treat every pet like my own and focus on keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable while you're away. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime, extra patience, or specialized care, I'm dependable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I'm currently taking online classes during the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pets. In the fall I will be returning to in person classes, however my schedule will still allow me to be a reliable care giver for your pets and satisfy all of their needs! I understand that trusting someone with your pets and home is a big decision. I treat every home with respect and follow your pets routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable while you're away.

“Andrew was amazing! He was very communicative and took professional-quality photos of our cats. We are looking forward to having him pet sit for us again in the future.”
“Abigail was a wonderful friend to our old (dog) man Oaks while we were traveling. Dependable, communicative, and took great care of our buddy. We would be lucky to have her as a pet sitter again!”
“Eva was great with our 5yo cat who’s generally self-sufficient but misses people when we’re gone. She provided informative and timely updates and sent pics of the kitty!”
“Autumn was amazing. It was clear that she is great with animals, and my cat immediately warmed up to her. She sent pictures and kept me updated all weekend. She also was very easy to communicate with. I would strongly recommend her as a sitter and will definitely book with her again!”
“Ria stayed with my kitty overnight while I was out of town. She kept me updated with pictures and videos and clearly bonded with my cat! When I returned, the house was perfectly clean and my kitty even had a few extra toys! She is so thoughtful and great with animals. Will hire her again!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who would so excited to meet your furry family members! I have been pet sitting and dog walking since I was ten years old and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I am also a proud dog and cat mom, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for them while you are away. During my undergraduate years at Tulane University, I volunteered at an animal shelter in New Orleans, where I helped walk and care for shelter dogs. I also had the opportunity to work with service animals through my university, which gave me additional experience understanding the importance of patience, consistency, responsibility, and following each animal’s individual needs and routines. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at UNC-Chapel Hill. I’m responsible, dependable, patient, and compassionate, and pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy doing outside of school. Whether your dog needs a good walk and some zoomies, your cat wants some attention (or prefers to pretend I don’t exist!), or your pet simply needs someone to stop by and keep them company, I’m happy to help! 🐾 What I can help with: - Dog walking & exercise -Cat & dog check-ins - Feeding & fresh water -Playtime & cuddles - Cleaning up after pets - Medication assistance when needed 📸 Photos & updates so you know your pet is happy and doing well I’ll always take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and preferences. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work with your pet’s needs! I’m available for check-ins and visits anytime on weekends. During the week, I am completely available on Fridays and can usually accommodate morning and evening check-ins Monday–Friday, with the exception of Wednesdays, when my availability is more limited. I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you and your pet’s routine! 🐶🐱 I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment, which is why I provide in home check-ins and care at your pet’s home. I will always respect your space, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure your pet’s routine stays as consistent as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn your pet’s personality, habits, and needs so I can provide thoughtful, attentive care. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, exercise routines, and care instructions to help your pet feel safe and relaxed. As a lifelong pet owner and experienced pet sitter, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member and your home. I’ll provide updates and photos during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and cared for. I do not offer boarding in my own home, but I’m happy to provide reliable, loving care where your pet feels most comfortable—at home.
“Samantha was very responsible and communicative. She documented her visits with my cat and, according to the pictures she sent me, my ktty looked very happy. Sam also gave my cats her meds and reported on her condition and behavior. This was very comforting since I am currently traveling. I warmly recommend Samantha.”

I am fully able to complete anything the owner needs from me! Walks, medication, play time, staying over some nights, I'm your girl! I can usually stay for some hours each time I need to drop by and of course spend nights if needed!
“Natalie was GREAT!! Our cats LOVED her, probably more than they like us even! She was able to coax our very curmudgeonly elderly cat out from her hiding place and interact with her on each of the home visits! Natalie took great photos and shared pertinent and expansive notes about her home visits, too, which put us at ease as we vacationed. Would definitely book again! (Oh, and she brought in our delivered packages while we were away, without prompting, which was much appreciated!)”

Ria did a great job taking care of Stormy. she handled all the feeding and enrichment tasks perfectly. She was able to quickly establish a good rapport with Stormy, which makes all the difference in the world. She was punctual and sent me session reports and photos after each visit. I highly recommend Ria for any cat-sitting task. Her approach is friendly, thoughtful, and professional.
Samantha was very responsible and communicative. She documented her visits with my cat and, according to the pictures she sent me, my ktty looked very happy. Sam also gave my cats her meds and reported on her condition and behavior. This was very comforting since I am currently traveling. I warmly recommend Samantha.

Maren was just wonderful!! She took perfect care of my cat, Sophie, who is now demanding more love from her mom after all the love that Maren gave her, lol! This was my first time using Maren as a sitter and as long as she stays in the pet-sitting business, I will never use anyone else. Thank you, Maren!
Jacob was FANTASTIC! He was proactive, attentive, communicated clearly and made sure our senior kitty had all of her medical needs met while we were away. He left everything neat and tidy, and even brought packages that got delivered inside for us. I could not be happier, and will definitely reach out if we need a kitty sitter again in the future.
Tab did a great job! They have previous experience with rabbits which is a plus and gave me peace of mind. My rabbits are usually very shy and do not like new people entering their space so it was good to see photos of them relaxed and accepting treats. Would definitely book again!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Carrboro on Rover is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $34 per visit. 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.

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 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 .

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 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.
