About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all types! Neighbors, family, and friends rely on me to walk, feed, and play with pets! I’m currently a college student home for summer break so I have lots of time to dedicate to animals and making sure they are taken care of! When entering a clients home, I ensure no passwords or key codes are shared with others and no one else is entering the house. I ensure that I only enter necessary rooms for the animals care and that everything is locked up when I leave.
“Eva is absolutely wonderful! My dog is usually a bit uneasy around new people, but within five minutes of meeting Eva, he was completely calm—she just has an incredibly soothing disposition. Not only is she fantastic with animals, but she’s also an incredibly reliable and flexible professional. When we missed our flight, she stepped in at the very last minute to cover an extra shift without hesitation. We felt so comfortable knowing our dog was in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Aspen was great!! We appreciate her following all instructions for all 3 of our dogs, all of our dogs were very happy when we got home. We would definitely have Aspen watch them again!”
“Emilia was great with chowder! She was on time and very prompt and followed all the instructions I gave her! We will definitely be booking with her again and she was great and very reliable.”
“Autumn was wonderful, as always, with our kitties! She provided detailed updates and photos. Would highly recommend Autumn to anyone looking for a caring and trusted pet-sitter!”
“Agus was a huge relief as a first-time user of this platform. Provided plenty of pictures and updates, and took special care to ensure that my cat didn't lock himself in any rooms. Did a great job of caring for my cat, and made sure to spend time playing and visiting with him so he didn't get lonely while I was gone. I would definitely recommend Agus to anyone searching for a pet sitter, and will absolutely be reaching out again next time I am in need of one.”
About: I’ve been dog-sitting for the past four years, and I grew up with multiple Australian Shepherds in my house. I am a big runner and love taking dogs hiking and running with me too. This past summer I worked as a vet tech at an animal hospital back home in Nashville and raised a new puppy of my own. I have dog sat for new puppies and older dogs with multiple medications/ointments and everything in between! I am currently a student at UNC Chapel Hill so I am in class for about 4 hours/day, but other than that my schedule is very flexible. I cannot care for pets in my home currently, but in clients’ homes I make sure to spend time with the animals and usually play with them in the yard (if possible) and take them on walks around the neighborhood or drive them to the park to go for a hike.
“Samantha watched our cat for 11 days and she was always communicative and responsive and sent lots of pictures. I felt much better knowing she was taking care of him!”
“Bailey is amazing. Stayed in touch the entire week and Socks loved spending time with her playing in the garden. Loved the photos! Definitely going to be our go to dog sitter”
“Alissa was amazing!! She was very attentive and gave lots of updates on our two cats. She sent lots of photos and information about them each day. She even did extra things we didn’t ask. She was overall wonderful and I couldn’t have asked for better! Would 100% hire her again!”
“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!”
“Dafna arrived on time every day and was easy and pleasant to communicate with. She followed my instructions and made an effort to interact with my sometimes skittish kitties! I will definitely rebook in the future.”
About: My family has always had dogs, 2-3 at a time, and always large (German Shepards or Labs). I have dog sat for neighbors, relatives, and friends - all dogs great and small! I don't mind to get a little dirty, I'm ready to walk and play all day long. I work part-time, but am very flexible and can work to fit your needs. I am pretty much available any day of the week Monday-Sunday, and typically work between the hours of 10am-8pm. I am happy to work earlier or later if necessary! I am currently not offering boarding in my own home but am open to doing stop-in visits in a clients home, no problem there!
“I couldn’t be happier with the care our pets received while we were away! Ria was reliable, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure our pets were taken care of!”
“Rosa is a great sitter. She took perfect care of our pets, including our very sick kitty with special medication needs. She is prompt, energetic, and communicative. We will use her again”
“Once again, Betsy was the best! She’s a great communicator and a kind and thoughtful sitter. I have complete confidence that my pets are in great hands when they’re in Betsy’s care.”
About: With 12 years of experience in pet care, I have a deep passion for ensuring pets receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. My services include overnight pet care, drop-in visits, and 30-minute dog walks, all tailored to meet the unique needs of you and your pets. Whether it's providing companionship, administering medication, or simply taking your dog on a refreshing walk, I am committed to offering reliable and compassionate care. Your pets' safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I strive to create an stress-free experience for both you and your pets. As a grad student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to play with your pups and ensure they get the exercise and care they need throughout the week and on weekends. I care for dogs in your home, following your specific instructions to ensure they feel comfortable and safe. I'm diligent about keeping dogs on leashes or harnesses during walks and am comfortable crating them if needed. My goal is to maintain their routine and provide attentive care while you're away.
About: Hello! My name is Rylie, and I’m a Ph.D. student with a lifelong love of animals! I’ve had pets of all shapes and sizes from the time I was little, ranging from tiny budgies and pint-sized Pomeranians to 120lb Great Danes. In addition to cats and dogs, I have extensive experience caring for a range of small animals and pets, including birds, guinea pigs, rats, ferrets, turtles, geckos, fish, and even shrimp! I’ve also done work in wildlife rescue and research, volunteering with bird banding and conservation efforts. I have experience with a wide variety of petsitting formats— I’ve done both long-term and short-term housesitting, drop-ins, and dog walking (my favorite!). In short, I’m a flexible, versatile, and experienced sitter, who is here to help with whatever pet care needs you may have! DISCOUNT! If you don’t require overnight care, I provide a discount for daytime-only housesitting (12 hours of care, typically 8am-8pm, or as needed). If this seems like a good fit for you, shoot me a message! I’m an early riser with several large breaks in my schedule (particularly around lunch) during the work week! As such, I’m the perfect person to call if your pet likes to be up and at ‘em in the morning, or needs someone to keep them company during the workday! I am also enthusiastic about hiking and running, so if you have a more active dog in need of a long walk, I’d be thrilled to get out and explore with them! I want to make your absence as easy as possible on both you and your sweet pet! As such, I do my best to keep up your pets usual routine and leave your house just as I found it, so that when you come back you can pick up exactly where you left off!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Carrboro
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!)
She was amazing. I was stressed prior to leaving on our trip since we would be out of the country and we had just had a tree fall on the house. She reassured me every day that my fur baby was doing well by notes and lots of pictures. I have to say that she really is a great cat person and that comes from my kitty who does not do well with strangers. Aspen took the time to love her and to even brush her which made my day as well as my kitty's. Will use again.
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!
Megan took absolutely wonderful care of our kitties while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such kind, attentive, and capable hands. She kept us updated, made sure they were happy and comfortable, and clearly treated them like her own. We came home to relaxed, well-cared-for cats and a home just as we left it. We’re so grateful for her care and would trust her again without hesitation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Carrboro on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,530 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Carrboro. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carrboro. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
