“Christine took such wonderful care of my 13 year old Newfie mix Punkie! As a large breed, Punkie has some health issues and Christine knew just how to care for her with short walks, gentle brushing and lots of love! Christine went above and beyond making sure all the tumbleweeds of hair were cleaned up before I got home. Such a joy to come home to clean floors and a happy dog! Thank you, Christine!”

“Alyssa is awesome! I’ve used her as a sitter before and I can always trust that my cat will be in great hands. He’s a bit of a grouch but she’s able to quickly bond with him and always makes sure he’s well taken care of. Will definitely look to book her again next time I’m out of town.”

About: I love dogs of all shapes and sizes! I had two labs growing up and another lab in my early twenties who I still grieve for today. I currently have no dogs of my own so I pour all my love into my friend’s dogs. The dog I had my twenties had behavioral issues and required patience and understanding in a short amount of time he went from being withdrawn and antisocial to a complete love bug! I’m unemployed but I take care of my disabled mom. Because of this I have a very flexible schedule. I have always loved dogs and miss having one of my own. I’m always excited to spend time with my friend’s dogs. I don’t plan on boarding any dogs at my own home. With how my mom’s health is now it wouldn’t be a good idea to do so.

About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by puppies, kittens, and all kinds of animals. I was there when my first dog gave birth and helped raise the puppies, learning how to train them along the way. This past year, I’ve cared for my senior dog when she had trouble walking and caregiving. I’ve also had the pleasure of walking and caring for dogs of all sizes for several families. With my lifelong experience with dogs and cats, I know exactly how to make sure your pet gets the best care! I currently have two dogs of my own and absolutely love spending time with them!! They are my babies I am available for pet care during the evenings and early mornings, and I’m also available on weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) for dog walks or weekend dog sitting. I take care of pets in a cozy, safe space. I make sure they get their walks, playtime, and plenty of love. I stick to their feeding schedule and keep things clean—making sure they have their favorite toys around and giving them the love and attention that they need! When I’m at your place, I follow your pet’s routine to keep things as normal as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I’ll also make sure the place stays clean and tidy, and your pet gets all the attention they need while you’re away!

About: I've been around dogs since I've had a working memory. From friend's, family's, neighbor's to my own I've watched and cared for many different dogs of many different sizes and needs. Dogs are a joy and a privilege to care for and deserve the best. I've worked with pups to pops and enjoy both :) I currently work part time in the mornings. Whether your pet/s need to be fed/let out, walked or just needs company I know I'll find time to give them the attention and care they deserve. If I'm pet sitting, I'm able to stay in you're home and give your pets all the attention they could dream of. Chill, lazy dog? Nothing like relaxing outside or watching TV getting pets and cuddles. Adventurous hounds? Lots of walks and play. I tailor the pet care your fur babies need to fit their lives and personalities. I work 1:1 with pet families so that your pets get all of my attention.

About: I've been watching dogs for family and family friends for 15 years now, before I could drive myself. I've watched many dogs with special raw Diets, and dogs that have needed insulin shots. I have never encountered a scenario I couldn't handle. I'm working full-time, but have great hours, and would spend most of my time with the animals. I'm around and available all weekends. My wife and I spend most of our time home on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs of my own. All of which are really friendly. We often have family member's pets over to visit. I also stay at others homes, as that is normally where animals are most familiar and feel the most safe!

Indre is a 5 star pet caregiver and a mature, balanced person we are completely comfortable leaving our two dogs and a cat to her when we travel. One dog needs 5 different eyedrops 3x a day, the dogs eat different foods, and one of the dogs has very limited mobility. So complex caregiving is well within her skills!!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cary on Rover is $31 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 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.

As of October 2026, there are 4,160 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cary. 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 .

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.

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
