About: Hi, my name is Kira. (Preferred name: Chanell) I may appear new to Rover, but I promise this isn’t my first rodeo. Pre Covid I was a sitter here on rover with a close friend of mine. This is MY first solo rover account so I’m open to question if anyone has any reservations about my abilities. I’m a big animal advocate. Since a little girl I’ve always had deep feelings when it came to animals. I believe their feelings matter so much and if you pay close attention they do communicate with us. I’d love to care for your babies while you’re away. I’m here to help in anyway I can & provide peace of mind for you & them. It’s more than a gig. It’s my life’s goal to make a difference. One pet at a time. I work M-T and my weekends are always free. I’m very into fitness and getting moving. Caring for your fur baby would be a great addition to my routine. I want your fur baby to be as comfortable as possible which is why I currently only provide drop-in visits & walks. I want to keep them in their world instead of trying to pull them into mine. I adapt to their space so that they can continue to feel safe and secure.
“We booked with Tania for drop-ins while we were out of town. She was amazing with our dog. She met her (our dog) and immediately took her for a long walk and played with her. While out of town, we received pictures at the park and during playtime. I will definitely book again with Tania.”
“You can feel confident booking with Cara! She did an amazing job with our dog Pippa! She was punctual, responsible, and paid attention to detail. She was very thorough and kept good communication while we were away! If we ever need care again we will definitely book her!”
“Jenny was wonderful with Binky! He absolutely loved her. She sent thoughtful, helpful updates so I always knew how he was doing, and she even cleaned up his messes. It was such a relief to come home to a happy cat. Highly recommend, and we'll definitely book her again!”
About: Hi, fellow pet lovers! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly believes pets are family. I grew up around dogs and have cared for them throughout my life. I had a Boston Terrier growing up, and today I’m the proud human of Orion, my 12-year-old Shiba Inu. Having a dog for so many years has taught me how important it is to pay attention to the little things, especially as pets get older. I’m caring, organized, and detail-oriented, and I’ll make sure your pet’s meals, walks, potty breaks, medications, and routines are followed exactly as requested. I also know every pet is different. Some love endless playtime, others prefer long walks or a cozy day of cuddles. My goal is to get to know your pet, respect their personality, and help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pup is playful, shy, adventurous, or a professional napper, I’ll treat them like family and give them plenty of love, attention, and companionship. 🐶 💛 I’m currently a graduate student and have a structured schedule, but I love making time for animals. I’m available for morning walks and check-ins anytime before 11:30 AM during the weekdays. I’m fully available Friday through Sunday, including evenings and nights! I’m also always happy to chat and see if I happen to be available outside of my regular hours. I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s routine whenever I can! 🐶💛 When house sitting, I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable in their own home while you’re away. I carefully follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and bedtime, and I pay close attention to any special instructions you provide. I’m very organized and detail-oriented, so I make sure your home and your pet are well cared for. I’m respectful of your space, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and getting plenty of love! 🐾💛
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them! I currently have two dogs of my own that I’ve cared for for the past four years. I’ve also fostered dogs from local shelters, which has given me experience with dogs of different personalities, backgrounds, and needs. I genuinely love animals and will treat your pets like they’re my own, making sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine to make things as comfortable as possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority! I’ll follow any instructions you provide and make sure your pet gets the care, attention, exercise, and love they’re used to. I understand every dog is different, and I’m happy to adjust to their individual routine, personality, and needs!
“Tiffany was phenomenal! Super communicative, did a great job taking care of Clancy and providing updates, generally just made it super easy. We would definitely choose her to take care of Clancy again!”
“Lily took the best care of our cat. He really seemed to enjoy the time he spent with her and she provided regular photos and updates. We wouldn’t hesitate to request her care again.”
“Lauren was an excellent sitter! Our cats loved her from the very first meet and greet. She shared updates via the Rover app that showed them playing and snuggling. Don’t hesitate to book her!”
“Extremely responsive and available last minute to take care of my puppy when I was not able to get home during a break. She is warm and welcoming, someone I would definitely have stay over and watch my house and animals!”
About: I recently relocated from South Carolina to Cary, North Carolina. I am retired and would love to assist with the care of your fur baby. I grew up with dogs and cats. I enjoy spending time and taking care of them. I am very responsible and would love to help you as needed. I am currently retired and available anytime during the week/weekends. I am available for drop-ins and/or dog walking. I am very detailed oriented and will maintain a clean/safe environment for your pet(s). I have a 3 year old chihuahua and have raised several dachshunds. I am very particular and will ensure your pet is happy and healthy during my care.
“Eliza took great care of my extra large dog while I was gone! She sent me several pictures and updated me with anything important! My dog can be difficult to maneuver around other dogs and she had no issues! Very sweet and professional, highly recommended her to anyone needing a rover!”
“I can’t thank Mani enough, she’s fabulous! So detail oriented, she went over and beyond on my expectations. Great communication! I will definitely use her services again and I highly recommend her! Thank you so much for everything! My babies were in good hands!”
About: I have had many animals growing up, from hermit crabs to guinea pigs, to cats and dogs and fish! My family has fostered previously and I have been able to help with that process. I am between jobs and am fairly flexible! Whether it be for a walk, a drop in, or an overnight stay, I have lots of availability! For dogs, I love to explore the neighborhood by going on walks, or checking out a nearby park. I enjoy playing fetch in the backyard. For cats, playing indoors and giving many scratches!
About: Hi! My name is Cami & I love animals! I have 2 years of experience sitting for Rover & for friends, & had the chance to care for many wonderful doggies. I recently moved to North Carolina & am now located in the Greensboro/High Point area, & am very excited to continue with Rover in my new state. I'm looking forward to caring for & loving on your pets, and want to provide you with peace of mind because you know they're in capable hands. I currently have a good amount of flexibility regarding my daily/weekly schedule so I will do my best to accommodate you & your pup as much as I can! My services include house sitting, daily drop in visits, and dog walking. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex & will take boarding/doggy day care requests on a case by case basis (don't be afraid to message me! I would love to work with you as best as I am able to regarding these services).
About: I’ve cared for many types of animals, I take time to learn their personality—social, shy, or “don’t look at me too long”—and I go at their pace while making sure they’re safe and happy. Hi! I'm Cass. As a local pet sitter, I offer reliable and compassionate care for your furry friends. I ensure your pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for while you're away. From feeding and walking to providing companionship and administering medication, I tailor my services to meet each pet's unique needs :) I take time to understand each pet’s personality and what makes them comfortable. I go at their pace, build trust, and learn their preferences. After that, I tailor my care—whether that’s play, companionship, or space—so they feel safe and happy.
“Moriah was wonderful to my kitty babies. They loved her! She was even flexible with me and able to add an extra visit on when I realized I forgot to include one. She is very knowledgeable- one of my cats has special prescription food and the other one doesn’t, and she made sure to feed them correctly. I would recommend her to anyone, especially those with kitties and kitties with special care instructions!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cary
Olivia came right on time, and her visit absolutely made my dog's day! I scheduled Olivia for a drop-in visit, and she did exactly what I asked for and gave my boy plenty of quality attention. She finished her visit by sending me an update and several great pics of Franklin enjoying their time together. I will definitely be scheduling drop-ins with her again in the future!
Gibson and Willow are absolutely in love with our new friend! She came in and took notes on her first visit to make sure she knew exactly what they needed for the day so that I could go and play corporate America and not worry and I could not be happier with the service and the pictures and the communication! If you’re looking for a fantastic experience, do not hesitate to book ! I know I’ll be reaching out again and I hope she shares some of her fun pictures with you guys because they made me smile while I had to be away for the day!
Comfort has been doing regularly drop in visits for my dog and she has been wonderful! She’s very attentive to instructions and follows any directions closely. She’s always been careful to lock my house up thoroughly after leaving which I really appreciate. Would definitely recommend Comfort!
Faith is always incredible with all of our pets (we have quite the crew with lots of personality and one cat with special needs and also normally scared of other people). All of our pets LOVE Faith and I always know they are in loving hands when we need to leave them behind. Our nervous cat who needs medication remembers her even after months and is so comfortable and outgoing with her, which just melts away all the scaries of leaving! I have booked Faith for taking care of our sweet pets several times over the last two years and have never considered having anyone other than Faith take care of our animals for us. We are so lucky and grateful to have met her and would highly highly highly recommend her to anyone needing care for their animal friends!
Lindsay and Spencer were absolutely amazing! They were able to step in and help me on short notice, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for better sitters. They were reliable and punctual every single day, always kept me updated, and were incredibly responsive whenever we communicated. Most importantly, they were so patient, gentle, and loving with Oreo. You can really tell that they genuinely care about pets，and knowing Oreo was in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. They are also just genuinely such nice, warm, and easygoing people. I enjoyed talking with them so much that I’d honestly love to be friends with them outside of Rover! I feel very lucky to have found them and would absolutely trust them with Oreo again. Highly, highly recommend Lindsay and Spencer! ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Cary is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $32 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 November 2026, there are 5,207 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Cary choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Cary with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cary. 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.
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.
