About: I've been taking care of animals my entire life, some of my earliest memories are of walking dogs and cleaning out litter boxes. I currently have two very spoiled cats, who I would love to tell you about. Whether its feeding, walking, or pet sitting I will make sure your babies get the best possible care while you're away. I work mornings Monday through Wednesday, and run my own business from home. I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to visits, and alot of time to spend taking care of your babies. No one knows how to take care of your pet better then you do. I will ensure that your pets get everything that you say they need, and some extra pets too.
“Sabrina was amazing! My pup loved her and she was so thoughtful about his heart condition when he was in her care. I really appreciate her time and care. I look forward to her services in the future and I’m sure Legend is too!”
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.
“Samyou was amazing, treated my dogs as if it were her dog very prompt my pup feel in love with by the 2 nd visit, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for professional, loving , courteous care for their pets.”
About: I’m dependable and genuinely care about making others feel comfortable and taken care of. My military experience has strengthened my sense of responsibility and discipline. I’m currently finishing my degree online, which gives me a flexible schedule that allows time for pet care. I’m able to plan my day around school since I have the flexibility of it being online. Making pets feel safe and comfortable is my priority. I follow normal routine and take on specific instructions from the owner. I also feel that asking questions is important and try to do so ahead of the owner’s time away.
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.
About: I am a nurse and have been a pet owner and lover since I was 8 years old. I am a caring, trustworthy person that would be happy to help you with your pet needs on my time off ❤️ I work full time, but can help for drop in visits or walks in weekends or after work if time allows. Would love to help you! I am very responsible as a pet owner myself. Their safety, comfort and care are my priority. I love taking my dogs for walks and care for my cats. Will do the same for your pets.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years and have loved them my entire life! I grew up with dogs, especially larger breeds like greyhounds and lab mixes, and started pet sitting for neighbors at a young age. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats, and even horses and a cockatoo. I am also a recently graduated physician assistant and just relocated to Raleigh, so I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I am dependable, attentive, and comfortable following detailed care instructions and routines. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply some company while you are away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own! I am happy to send photo/video updates as well as much as you need! I am very organized and plan out my schedules in advance. It is very easy to work in pet care into my structured routine! I am on clinical rotations right now for school, so my schedule is variable, but I am still pretty open! I am also off on weekends! In a client's home, I treat their space with respect and ensure the pets feel cared for in their familiar environment. I keep the home clean, provide regular updates with photos, and maintain the pets' routines, including feeding, exercise, and attention :)
About: Animals have been an essential part of life and continue to be. I have raised dogs, cats, turtles, and various others. None have left without kisses, tail wags, and wet noses! Training puppies and administering medications have been an everyday experience with my own pup throughout her entire life. Couch snuggles and long walks have always been apart of my pet experience. The time booked goes to ten minutes of potty time (or longer upon request. You know your dogs best!) after, it can be all play time (with a water bowl check) or playtime before feeding! My dogs always were set to perform 'tricks' for their food, using it as a reward. If this is something you like to do or are doing with your pets, I'll do my best to keep up the same work, hopefully helping your training along the way. And yes, the turtle in the photos is Lord Myrtle. He is my home Security and chief Romaine Leaf inspector. Mostly working from home, willing to travel. Right now I have nothing for work other than working for myself and find myself wanting to work more with animals. I've been looking after animals since my days caring for farm animals. Now, I enjoy looking after those we call family for others when no one else can. When they are in my care, they are my family too. My home is very quiet, 4th floor apt over looking an active pool. Lots of sun in the morning and a porch garden with birds.
About: I’ve been around a variety of animals since I was a child. My mom was obsessed with animals and worked at a pet store. We had just about 1 of everything in our home. Caring for animals is a passion of mine . I have a 5 year old Australian shepherd who loves all dogs. Nurse manager who works a hybrid schedule. Somedays I’m home and others I’m 8 minutes from my home. I have the ability to make my own schedule, with the exception of in person meetings on Tuesday. I will treat your fur baby as my own! I’ve been on rover since 2021 . I use it when I travel and have loved being a part of ROVER.
About: Through my experience of working at NCSU vet school and a vet office as a summer job, I gained valuable skills with various animals including cats, dogs, and other small pets. In addition to work related experience, I have been a pet-sitter and dog walker for the past 20 years in addition to being a dog owner of 3 great dogs. I am also in the process of entering school for vet tech training to add to my current skill set.

Absolutely amazing! Paid close attention to my pup’s wellbeing and put him first. Stayed in contact with updates and answered any and all questions I had. My pup came back so happy and tired and got so excited to see her the next day which is the sign of a great walker. Thank you so much!
Zainab took great care of Mia on Wednesday evenings while I was in a 9 week program. I was so grateful that she did activities with her every time, plus lots of cuddles. I also had peace of mind that she had a confidence and experience with high energy dogs like my Mia. I will definitely book her again for future needs. Thank you.
Karissa is exactly who we needed for our sitter/companion for our Husky. She had excellent communication, prompt responses to all messages, very kind and sweet, and mindful. She was so thorough, understood dog behavior very well, knew exactly what to do depending on how our dog interacted with her each day, and always provided adequate discussion of anything needed. She went above and beyond, and took such great care while we were visiting family. Our husky needs lots of exercise and she helped make sure she got that everyday. I will definitely be booking with her again anytime I need a sitter/walker if she is available. Truly grateful she was so helpful and supportive.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Cary. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker.
