“Lorraine is absolutely incredible. When our puppy was having some regression in behavior, Lorraine went above and beyond to help us. She genuinely loves the animals she sees and works with their humans to best set everyone up for success. We could not ask for a better person to trust with our baby.”
“We’ve only had a couple of walks so far with Rosemary, and I’m already very impressed. Our beagle, Abbe, absolutely adores her! As soon as Rosemary pulls into the driveway, Abbe starts crying and wagging with excitement — she can’t wait to get out the door and run to her. I’ve watched them walk by the lake from my back deck, and Rosemary is wonderful with her. She’s patient and kind, but also firm when she needs to be — not a pushover, which I really appreciate. She communicates well, is always pleasant to talk to, and clearly loves what she does. I highly recommend Rosemary to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and skilled dog walker. — Jeff Basham”
“Rachel was totally amazing with our Saydee even during a tropical storm. Saydee is a seizure dog and no problem for Rachel. We booked her already for our next trip. She really has a special love for what she does.”
“Zainab was wonderful! She agreed to check in on my pets on such short notice, promptly scheduling a meet and greet and making sure the pets were familiar with her. She provided great pictures and updates. Will use again for sure!”
“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!”
About: I am super empathetic towards dogs, I've been taking care of dogs at the shelter back in NY and I have some of my own. I have really been good taking care of older dogs or dogs with certain disabilities as in deaf, blindness, etc so I know my way around them. I also know a bit in training puppies as well. I'm currently working part time but I can fully commited to taking care of dogs of all kind and breeds. I can and will make the time to ensure that they are doing well. As my own home is well put together and my dogs are well behaved, your dogs will be perfectly safe and healthy around the home plus being fed food that will be suited to their needs. As for your homes, I will follow the rules and regulations you have put in place so I can properly take care of your pets.
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.
“Lysandra has been so great with Oliver! I just rescued him and she seems to understand his anxiety so well. She’s available on short notice and is very reliable. I’m thrilled with her care of my boy!”
About: I truly love the company of animals and treat every pet I watch as if they were my own. I understand that every dog and cat has a different 'vibe'—I’m happy to be a high-energy playmate for active pups or a quiet, comforting lap for senior or shy pets. Whether it’s a quick neighborhood stroll or spending the afternoon together at your house or mine, I prioritize your pet’s happiness and safety above all else. I’d love to help give you a break and give your pet a fun new friend! Since I am home for the majority of the day, I can provide your pet with consistent, dedicated attention and frequent outdoor breaks. I genuinely enjoy the companionship of animals and look forward to making sure yours feels right at home I live in an apartment, I have two children (11 and 13), I can walk my dog on the street, on the territory of my complex or nearby, for example on the trail and in the park ( I have a big one not far from my home).
“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.
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!
About: I'm not a dog person. I'm an animal person! I have two senior kitties, a gecko, an anole, a hamster, and fish under my care. I love all sorts of cuddly and not so cuddly creatures! I've cared for family cats and dogs growing up and am looking forward to getting my own puppy next year! I've been a sitter for two years. I'm very comfortable caring for senior kitties and dogs. My own senior cat needed oral medication weekly since age 3 for a special condition. I've been solely responsible for feeding, exercising, bathing, and medicating cats since I was 12 and as someone in my mid 20s I make a mature and responsible sitter. I've also cared for medicating a spicy elderly cat with hiv that needed two daily medications, including pills, before their passing (6 months) RIP. So for pets that have special needs I'm very familiar with these procedures and am comfortable with them if necessary as long as we go over them in person first! I believe challenged pets deserve equal opportunity to be cared for and loved! I cannot bathe cats that are fiesty when it comes to water. I also cannot trim any nails as I am not a professional groomer and accidents can cause infection. Safety is my number one priority! AVAILABILITY I have a very flexible schedule as a freelance, work from home graphic designer. I can be available most any day from 5am-10pm, when given at least a day's notice, for sitting, drop ins, and walks. I promise to let any regular customers know as soon as I do of any vacation or emergency preventing regularly scheduled pet care so you have time to find a suitable replacement for your four-legged family member! As I work from home I'm available your pet's entire stay to keep them company and to keep an eye on them! AGGRESSION I'm not comfortable with pets with aggression and if your dog has leash fear I'm afraid I cannot provide outdoor services such as walking or hose showers. Please let me know of any fears or concerns.
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.
“Jess is absolutely fantastic - my dogs adore her and very much look forward to their walks each week. She’s communicative, responsible, and on-time, not to mention she has such a way with dogs and is very in-tune with their needs and behaviors. I would highly recommend her to anyone!!!”
About: Hi! My husband and I have over 8 years experience with taking care of cats, dogs, small animals, reptiles and amphibians. I’m a passionate animal lover and a dedicated pet caregiver based in North Carolina. In addition to providing pet care through Rover, I am also a volunteer with the SPCA, where I help care for cats and support animal welfare efforts in my community. I have experience caring for cats with a variety of personalities, from playful and social cats to those who are shy or need extra patience and reassurance. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, keeping litter boxes clean, providing enrichment and playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, attention, and kindness. Whether your cat needs a quiet companion, daily care visits, or extra affection while you’re traveling, I will treat them as if they were my own. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work remotely from home, which allows me to spend most of my day with the pets in my care. Aside from occasional gym visits and errands, I am typically home throughout the day and evening. This means your pet will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention rather than being left alone for long periods. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, medication routines, playtime, and regular check-ins throughout the day. I enjoy a quiet lifestyle and spend much of my free time at home. When I’m not working, I often relax with my cat, enjoy outdoor activities, or go fishing, but I always plan my schedule around the pets in my care. Your cat will stay in a clean, quiet, and pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space to relax, play, and explore. My home is filled with cat toys, scratching posts, cozy resting spots, and enrichment activities designed to keep cats comfortable and entertained. I currently have a friendly and outgoing rescue tabby cat who is well-socialized and enjoys meeting new feline friends. However, I understand that every cat is different. For cats who prefer their own space, I can accommodate gradual introductions and provide separate areas to help them feel safe and comfortable. Safety is always my top priority. I keep a cat-friendly environment and closely supervise all interactions to ensure a stress-free experience for every pet in my care.

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.
Cara was right on time. She was friendly and patient with Hutch. She even had a treat for him!! (After asking permission of course). We talked about his harness and his leash. She gave me some great pointers. Of course he behaved perfectly for her 😂 but I'm ready for our next adventure. Cara is great with the dog, and the human!!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
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.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Cary.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cary. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
