Carolyn does a great job with our senior dog. Our dog needs medication several times a day and Carolyn kept her on her schedule while we were gone. We feel very comfortable leaving our girl with Carolyn.

Dorothy was outstanding coming to our house to feed and let out our 2 dogs. She was great with the dogs, responds quickly to questions and sent many photos while we traveled out of state for a wedding. We trusted her and did not worry about our dogs. I would highly recommend her services.

About: Hi I’m Janie!! I'm 19 & I absolutely love animals. For years I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to care for their pets—whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays—and I love giving each dog the attention they deserve. I make sure every furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I work 2 part-time jobs, typically in the evening 5-6 days a week. Even with my schedule, I have plenty of free time and am happy to work with you to make sure your pets get all the love and attention they deserve!! I love keeping dogs happy and comfortable by sticking to their usual routines. On walks, I make sure they’re safe and have a fun time. During drop-in visits, I can handle feeding, water, playtime, potty breaks, and anything else your dog needs.

Monica was amazing! This was our first time having someone come to our house to let our puppy out and she made us feel very comfortable. She was very responsive and sent us pictures while she was there. We are definitely going to ask Monica to do more drop in visits in the future!

Chose Doug to drop in on my two pups a couple times yesterday evening. Before the night he was needed, we had a meet and greet. Doug was very thorough in his questions and I felt extremely confident in choosing him to look after my dogs. All in all, he did a great job & I look forward to have him help us in the future.

About: I have dealt with big and small dogs even if they are very mean or nice and I can deal with them accordingly so me and your furry friend don’t get hurt. I love Going on nice walks whether if it’s long like a few hours or short like around the block. I love going outside and feeling the nice breeze and smell of the grass and trees and I know dogs love it to. Ill always come prepared with extra poop bags just in case you don’t have any Im free many days of the week take care of your best friend. I love walking and taking some nice jogs during the day so I’m free almost every day to go out into the world and take your furry friend for a nice walk. if you have a cat i can chill with them while I brush them out so they can have a silky coat. It’s just so relaxing to do that and have a peaceful moment during the day If your dog or cat ever gets stressed I will stop doing what ever I’m doing and help them de stress a bit and figure out what might have caused it. I’ll take my time with them and give them something they really like or that’s calming in hope that they calm down. I will never pressure your furry friend into doing something that it dosent want to do

About: I’ve grown up taking care of both cats and dogs, including small and large breeds. I currently have a chocolate lab who I walk, feed, and play with every day. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and cats, and I understand the extra patience, attention, and care they may need. I love cats and am comfortable feeding them, changing litter, playing with them, and giving them lots of attention. I’m reliable, caring, and truly enjoy being around animals! I’m home from college until August 10th. I’m available all day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8 AM–3PM for dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits for both cats and dogs! I’m also available on weekends and am flexible with timing. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and safe. I’m always mindful, respectful, and responsible when caring for pets in someone else’s home. I make sure to keep a clean and safe environment, follow instructions carefully, and handle everything with care. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home, and I’ll always do my best to make both you and your pets feel comfortable and secure.

Grace is awesome! She saved us for a last minute visit for our older dog who needed a midday bathroom break. She came out the night before after working all day to meet us and our pets and go over our pets needs. During the first visit we got a video, photos and report card from the visit. She was very personable and we could tell in the video our pets were excited to see her when she arrived. Just know if you hire Grace, your pets are in good hands.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Cary

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Cary on Rover is $31.08 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 4,561 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cary. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Cary stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Cary. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
