“Our second Rover with Isabelle and we couldn't be happier. She takes care of our dog with so much care, and our cats don't even require care (we have automatic things for them) and she will still send photos of them and love on them. Very happy with her service and highly recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of my friends dogs and cats-including a rambunctious golden retriever, as well as my family dog for years! I’ve walked, fed, and played with many pets, and I love them all 🥰 I have an open schedule, so I can make multiple visits during the morning, afternoon, or evening. I can accommodate any time your dog or cat needs I live very close to a greenway access and can walk your dog there! If your neighborhood offers a dog park or something similar I am open to taking your fur baby there. I can always crate if needed!
“Xiaoyu took such good care of my kitty! She was reliable and sent lots of pictures and did everything I asked. She communicated really well also! I was happy to see her take such good care of Piper!”
About: We've been caring for dogs for over eight years now. We are used to high energy dogs, dogs that just need a ton of attention, or even the ones who just want to sleep all day. I know your dogs will have a great time with us. We play fetch, walk them, cuddle with them, or what ever they like to do. Our Home: We have a nice fenced in back yard with plenty of space for them to run around. We have two kids with us part of the time who love to play with dogs. We have two dogs already who are very social and love to have extra friends around. Availability: We are available most weekends. For now that is what we want to start with. We can make special arrangements upon request, just let us know what you're looking for.
“Alex took great care of our cat Bailey while we were in Santa Fe. She spent time playing with her and petting her. And she sent us pictures of Bailey every day. I should also mention that she did this after a last minute request. I would highly recommend Alex.”
“Joanna was very friendly and communicated well! She took great care of our 3 cats (one a 7 mo old kitten) and got some fantastic pictures of all of them as well! Even though one of our girls is extremely shy, she came out for Joanna almost everyday. I could not recommend Joanna more to watch your furry family members!”
About: I grew up in a house that had at least 3 dogs (both large and small) and a couple of cats at all times! My mom bought each of my siblings and I a dog to take care of when we all reached middle school age. For me, it was a minature dachshund named "Spike" who became my best friend! All of that being said, I have a lot of experience with the everyday care of both cats and dogs. I have lots of experience pet sitting for friends and family, and I worked in kennel for one summer in college. While working in the kennel I got a lot of hands on experience with different breeds and temperaments of both large and small dogs. And I am not shy about cleaning up after pets either! I am currently taking a few online college classes, but I am currently unemployed so my schedule is very flexible! Mornings, afternoons, and some evenings... I can be available. My number one priority is safety, both for your pet and for me. I have experience with both agressive dogs and dogs/cats that like to put themselves in danger... for example, getting into things they shouldn't or having a fondness for bolting out the door. I am careful 100% of the time!
“I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter. Aqsa is reliable experienced and caring. My dog has anxiety and struggles when we are away. I wasn’t able to enjoy my time away because I was so worried about him. Aqsa won him over and he loves spending time with her. I highly recommend her.”
“I have a Covid pup that absolutely hates boarding facilities, so Im very grateful for Vincent's time and ability to look after my princess! Easy to communicate with, sent regular updates with photos, food, water, treats, replaced her pup blankies to stay fresh and even took out the trash! Timely with check ins and also respects the home. Hope to book again in the future. Thank you!!”
“Alexa was great! She came by to give my dog some outside time while I was away for the day. She unfortunately had some car trouble but she communicated that and made sure my dog got what she needed. Sent pictures and was sweet to my girl.”
“Yaryna did an excellent job caring for our two young cats. She was highly communicative and responsive and provided excellent care. She was able to give medicine as well which was a huge help. We will definitely ask her to care for our cats in the future.”
“My cats can be shy but Katherine is a pet whisperer and was able to coax them out of their hiding places. Great to work with, reliable, I was able to enjoy my trip knowing my pets were being well cared for. The pictures made my day each morning. Thank you Katherine!”
About: Hi. My name is Grace and I’d love the opportunity to take care of and treat your fur baby with lots and lots of love! I’ve had cats and dogs in my family since I was a kid. Now post college, I’ve been fortunate enough to adopt my own pup! As many friends and family members have pets as well I have been the go-to for sitting. I have experience sitting for puppies and adult dogs, giving medication, following a feeding and walking schedule, and sending tons of videos and photos (daily) as I know you’ll be missing your furry family member! I currently work from home so my schedule is extremely flexible and allows me to focus on your fur baby through the day. Although I live in a townhouse, I am nearby a dog park and have lots of grass and walking area. My daily routine is taking my pup to the dog park in the morning before work for a good half hour and after work as well. We have a great dog community so we love going on walks and meeting other dogs at the dog park. Your pet is cared for as if they were my own. My apartment is quite spacious and comfy so your pet will feel right at home! I normally do meet ups as well so your dog can be comfortable in my townhouse and with my pup before you’re ready to entrust them with me. I'm happy to follow your care instructions to keep their routine consistent while they are in my care.
“Absolutely wonderful! Leanna helped out with our cats while we were out of town. Great communication, polite, considerate, and the cats seemed well cared for - we will definitely think of Leanna again in the future!”
“I had a great experience with Pamela. She was very attentive to my cat and paid close attention to her eating and bathroom behaviors. She sent great pictures and notes after each visit. I appreciate all she did during her stays!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by and taken care of various types of animals since i was very young. I spent over 100 hours volunteering at a senior center where i was often needed to help care for their pets. Family and friends frequently rely on me to walk, feed, pet-sit and even bathe their pets. I have also worked for 2 years at a doggy daycare where i received multiple certifications including canine cpr training and learned all about animal behaviors and signals. As a pet owner myself I understand the importance of not only the animals needs but the owners as well. With a positive, fun attitude and a passion for animals, i would be able to provide your pets with exceptional care. I’m currently only working part-time, as well going to college. Therefore, i would be able to find plenty of time to play with your furry friends! My typical availability is evenings on Monday,Wednesday, and Friday and any time throughout the day on Tuesdays and Thursdays. However, I’m willing to be flexible and if your in need of something else feel free to reach out and i can try to work something out for you and your pet as my schedule does fluctuate. I have a fenced in backyard with a camera for security purposes and lots of shade as well as two friendly dogs of my own that are up to date with all of their shots and vaccinations and more than welcoming of new furry friends. I can definitely put your pet in a crate in a calm and quiet space or a more upbeat, busy area if needed for their comfort. Although I live in a low- crime and safe area, My home does have an advanced security system to ensure the safety of everyone and every pet that enters.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cary
This was our first booking together, and I had a great experience! She took the time to come meet Prada and me beforehand, which really helped put my mind at ease as a first-time puppy owner. Prada liked her immediately, and it was clear she was comfortable with her. She was reliable, caring, and treated Prada like her own. I felt confident knowing Prada was in good hands and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!
I can’t recommend Annalise enough! She has been checking in on my French Bulldog puppy, Prada, while I’m at work, and the experience has been fantastic. As a first-time puppy owner, leaving a young puppy alone was stressful, but they immediately put my mind at ease. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. She always sends photos and updates during their visits, which I look forward to and really appreciate throughout the day. Prada absolutely loves them and gets excited when they come by, which tells me everything I need to know about the care and attention she’s receiving. Knowing she is getting potty breaks, playtime, and affection while I’m away has been invaluable. Thank you for taking such great care of Prada. I will gladly be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter! All around a genuinely good person and it shows for sure I couldn’t have asked for better!
Emily took absolutely wonderful care of our fur babies! I was so appreciative of how detail oriented she was and the questions she asked ahead of time to get to know our animals and their routines. I am somewhat of an anxious pet mom, but I felt confident leaving them in Emily’s care and we couldn’t have left them in better hands. She went above and beyond with the actual care of our pets and was very patient even though our dog took her sweet time to go potty in the heavy rain. Our cat also seemed relaxed when we got home, which is impressive since she tends to be a very anxious kitty.
Faith is my go-to for watching out pets because she is always SO amazing with all of them! She was able to accommodate a last minute trip away and I am so grateful to never have to worry about my pets while they are in her care, especially with one of my cats having special needs. I will always highly, highly recommend her and all 4 of my pets love her!
So grateful for the care you gave our dog while we were away. Knowing you were stopping by each day gave us real peace of mind. The daily picture meant so much — it was such a comfort to see our dog happy and well cared for. Thank you for being so reliable, thoughtful, and kind. We’re lucky to have you. 💛
MengFas is a fantastic sitter. She treated my dogs like her own and kept me updated throughout the visit. She communicated clearly and let me know of any thing that came back. I will definitely be reaching out again for her assistance. Highly Recommend! 🙌🏽👏🏽🫶🏽
Miranda M. was amazing with our 5-year-old Catahoula mix over a long weekend. She sent daily photos and updates, followed her routine perfectly, and kept her ssooooo happy. We tried super fancy boarding place in town, and it was great..... but Choppy was nervous the WHOLE time. Miranda M. is super reliable and caring—we’ve already rebooked her! Highly recommend in the Cary area. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
