“Cydney was a great sitter for our 2 cats! We were gone for a week and during that time she communicated quickly, took lots of cute photos, and even eradicated some ants that got into the food bowl. Everything was in order when we got home and the boys were well taken care of. It's clear she loves animals and they like her back. 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 a 9-5 job M-F. I can make multiple visits during the morning, afternoon, or evening on weekends. During the week I can make visits any time before 9 and any time after 4:30-5ish! I would love to accommodate your dog or cat the best I can ❤️ 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!
“Aqsa was wonderful. Dependable and conscientious with my two kitties. They can be a bit challenging but she excelled at winning them over. I was able to travel worry free which was so important to me. Aqsa, Thank you so much.”
About: Hi there! I’ve been a proud pet owner and animal lover my entire life, and caring for pets has always been second nature to me. My job allows me to have maximum flexibility to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m available to help with walks, feeding, playtime in the park, baths, and whatever your pet needs to feel happy, healthy, and loved. I’ve had hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages from playful puppies who need structure and training, to senior pets who may require patience, gentle handling, or medication. My goal is to give you peace of mind, to provide reliable, compassionate care and ultimately treat your furry family members as if they were my own. 🗓️ Scheduling: Because of my flexible work schedule, I have plenty of availability to assist you with your pets. Happy to coordinate with you to find times that best fit your routine and your pet’s needs. 🏠 Environment: I’m available to care for pets either in your home or mine, and I always prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s specific care plan to keep their routine consistent.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I have experience with caring for puppies, and more elder dogs. During Covid, my roommate and I started fostering dogs. We fostered an old sweet yellow lab, 2 puppies with worms and that were to be neutered, and a rambunctious pit bull that suffered from separation anxiety. For the last 4 years, I’ve been formally dog walking and pet sitting. I travel for a lot for work so I’m not able to have a pet of my own, but I’m more than happy to walk and care for yours! My schedule is quite all over the place, so feel free to reach out and I’ll try to accommodate! I’m a nurse and I work three days a week, so the rest of the week I’m fairly available! I won’t be able to offer overnight boarding or sitting at my residence, but Im more than happy to commute to yours! I can walk your dogs, play with them, try to reinforce good habits, just let me know what you’re looking for!
“Alexa was great! She was able to help care for my dogs with short notice. She took great pictures and gave helpful check-in feedback during her visits. I felt like my fur babies were truly cared for while I was away, which gave me the piece of mind I needed. I'd definitely use her services again. Highly recommended!”
“My spouse and I were so relieved to know the kitties were taken care of while we were out of town. Jiahui was very good with them and they were happy when we got home. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Alexandria was great! She agreed to watch the dogs very last minute, and worked with our schedule for the meet and greet and drop in visits. We got updates and pictures every day, and she was on time and took really good care of our girls!”
“Camryn is wonderful!!! My pups love her. She is excellent with communication and sending photos with updates of my babies! I didn’t have a worry while I was gone for a trip! Book her!!”
“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!”
“I have booked many rovers and have been a rover myself and Caroline is top tier. Perhaps the best I’ve ever booked with!! She was so communicative and would leave the sweetest messages after each visit. I hate leaving my cats but I felt so much better knowing Caroline was checking in on them and giving them all the love!! Thank you so much Caroline!!”
“Adreanna was great with my dog Zoey. Zo warmed up to her immediately when she met her, which is not the norm as she is usually a bit shy when meeting new people. Adreanna was awesome at communicating and always responds quickly. She is also really flexible with the check ins. I did not worry about a thing knowing she was checking on Zoey. Highly recommend her if you're needing someone to watch your pet!”
About: We have been watching both our friends and family dogs for 10+ years. We have a 10 year old mini goldendoodle who we love and adore. We have a fenced in yard and live in a great neighborhood with lots of trails for long walks. We both work from home which makes it ideal for taking care of your pup. We do have two young kids so we will only take dogs that are good with children and have been around them often. We will care for your pup like it is our own and will be sure to provide lots of love and comfort for them :) We work from home which provides for a pretty flexible schedule. This allows us to take them to nearby parks or on the trails near our house. We live in Lochmere so lots of walking trails. Our kids are in school during the day so we could give your dog the attention it needs. Happy to play outside in the yard or go on long walks with your pup. We can also take the dogs on walks one at a time if that is better for your dog.
About: Hello! As my headline suggests I am a mother of 5 kids, including triplets. We have had animals for the last thirty years, including: dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, geese, sheep, and goats! I currently have two dogs - a huge bernadoodle, and a small poodle - and a cat who is older than lots of my shoes! I absolutely adore animals and especially love to be outside in nature and fresh air. I work remotely in Glendora and I'm essentially available ANY time within a 5 mile radius. I also don't really sleep, haha... so, I'm available for evening care. I usually like to take dogs outside to run and play for about 20 minutes at a time. With cats, it's fun to use their favorite toys for interaction. But, my favorite part of pet sitting is the cuddles!
“Abigail was great! She made sure our cat was fed with fresh food and water and even gave his litter box a clean. While our cat tends to hide for awhile when people come over, I know he was well taken care of and enjoyed the house visits while we were away. She was super flexible with times. Definitely recommend and would book again. Thanks so much!”
“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!!”

Amber was a huge lifesaver! I was away on a trip and had a last-minute issue with another sitter, and thankfully, Amber was able to step in. She was very communicative throughout my trip and sent pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’m so grateful for her help. Thank you, Amber!
Laina has been absolutely AWESOME!! She's been a great help with getting my geriatric dog out in the middle of the day for me when I work. Given his age, he very accident prone, and she has been in taking care of all his special needs. Will definitely be re-booking when shes available
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!

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 .
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 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.

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.
