“Leslie is amazing! My dog and cat adore her (and my cat does not adore most humans!) and she took such great care of them. She also sent so many adorable photos and frequent updates with their shenanigans. In the past trips were always stressful because we worried about our pets, but now that we have found Leslie, that concern has disappeared!!!”
“Kelsey was great! Our Murphy was super relaxed and well rested when we got home. Kelsey sent us pictures often and stuck to our defined routine perfectly. I’d recommend Kelsey to anyone!”
“Eliza is the epitome of the perfect sitter - both professional and loving - prompt and responsive and also the "sit on the floor with the dogs" type. We are happy we trusted her with our boys!”
About: I love animals and have taken care of pets since I was a kid. I recently brought two puppies to the US from Puerto Rico to be adopted (the program is called “Flight Angels”) though I definitely thought of taking them home myself! I often care for my dad’s dog, who is diabetic and on the older side, so I am no stranger to getting up at the crack of dawn to give your pup medication and frequent walks. I have also cat-sit for years, and recently gotten my own mischievous kitty. I work from home which gives me the availability to be there for your pet. Whether it’s a midday check in to keep your cat company, lunch dates with your puppy, or week long housesitting, I am happy to be there for you and your furry friend. Don’t be hesitant to reach out, I would love to get to know you and your pet! I work remotely with an hour lunch, and I am happy to visit your pet during the hours that fit your needs. Depending on the distance I can also stop by throughout the workday. A typical day would include two to three long walks around your neighborhood, enrichment time playing a few games, and of course feeding time as often as needed for your pet.
“Isabelle and Olivia were wonderful. They took great care of our dogs, and our home, exceeding our expectations and fulfilling our hopes for lots of attention and love. We received updates with pictures and video a couple times a day. We couldn’t be more pleased, and have them booked them again 😃.”
“Jalanie is amazing! She gives great updates throughout the day and left our house just the way we left it after taking care of our dog for 2 weeks. Would definitely recommend”
“This is the second time Britney has house sit for us and both have been great experiences. Both my dogs are very happy to have her company when we are away and the house is always spotless when we get back.”
“Hallie was great with our two pups! She sent pics and updates during our week long vacation. I know our pups loved being cared for my Hallie. She was also very respectful when staying in our home. We definitely plan on booking Hallie again!”
“As soon as I met Loren I felt completely comfortable leaving our 15 month old pampered Coton de Tulear with her. She sent me great pictures that showed Moppie was relaxed and happy. I would not hesitate to get her to dog sit again!”
“Courtney is so sweet and wonderful and easy to work with! She loved on my dog like she was her own and even cleaned our house before we got back. She sent tons of adorable pictures while we were gone so we had peace of mind that our dog was doing well and of course was being loved and spoiled! Would 100% book her again!”
“Zainab was so great! She was so kind and sent lots of sweet pictures of all our critters, including the shyest one. We also got daily updates with how everyone was doing. We're definitively hoping we can book again! Thank you!”
“Alexandra was great! She was extremely responsive, sent pictures and updates. I felt at ease going out of town knowing she was there! Best quality care for my pups.”
About: I have been a pet sitter for over 10 years. I am accountable and will go the extra mile to make sure you and your pet are satisfied. My schedule is pretty flexible and I am willing to work with you. Whether it’s staying the night or a walk, I am happy to help! I will make sure to follow the exact instructions provided and give your pet the attention they deserve. It is important to me that you and your pet feel comfortable.
About: I'm the go-to pet caregiver for my friends and family because they know their pets will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own. Whether it's administering medications, providing basic grooming, or simply making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved, I'm committed to giving each one personalized, compassionate care. When I am not working, I am sitting at home. I love an excuse to take a walk or stop by to visit an animal. I am available weekday evenings and all day on weekends. I am very cautious, and my main priority is a pet's health and safety. I am respectful of any preferences you may have for your loved ones.
“Jessica was phenomenal! We've never left our dogs and cats for more than several days, and I was nervous about leaving them for 8 days. Jessica came to the rescue, though... It was clear from the start that she was both excellent with animals AND very conscientious as a house-sitter. Her communication and cleanliness were top-notch, and most importantly our animals loved her and were clearly well-cared for while we were out of town!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Cary is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cary
Nadia took excellent care of my dog Fern. She sent me numerous updates and photos. My dog has separation anxiety so it is best for someone to stay with her in my home. Nadia left the house in better condition than when I left it. I would definitely hire her again.
Maya did a wonderful job taking care of Dunkin while we were away for the day. She was reliable, arrived on time, followed all of our instructions, and made us feel confident that Dunkin was in good hands. We would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter
Camille was a wonderful sitter for our pups. She was punctual, polite and so caring. She was flexible with her schedule which helped us out big time when our flights were delayed. We loved all of the updates and pictures throughout our trip. We will definitely book with her again.
We love Sherri! She's great with Bitzy and Jarvy, and stands out in two different ways: She observes their behavior and if something catches her attention, she'll text and ask whether the behavior is usual. Also, she always does a little bit extra that we didn't ask her to do, like emptying the dishwasher or taking the trash can to the curb. We couldn't ask for better care!
You will not find a more loving person to watch your pets than Leslie. We received daily photos / videos and updates with any concerns. Leslie stayed in our home and when we returned it was so tidy, there was not even any dog hair on the floor! I appreciate how caring Leslie was for our dog and how considerate of a house sitter she was. We hope Leslie will sit for us again in the future! 🙂
Jess is exactly what we were hoping for. We have a 14 yr old, set in her ways, separation anxious pup! Jess works from home so was perfect for Lexi! We had a meet and greet a couple weeks ahead of time to go over Lexi’s 2 page “instruction manual”. Jess seemed very much at ease as did Lexi. Jess did not disappoint. We communicated multiple times a day with pictures of both what we were doing and they were doing. Jess quickly became a part of the family and we could tell Lexi was very happy. We think they both had some separation anxiety when we returned. I should also mention Lexi has a medication schedule which was easily accommodated. We will definitely use Jesse again soon!
Karissa took amazing care of our two dogs while we were on vacation, would highly recommend! You could tell our dogs were well loved and played with lots ☺️ Karissa gave great daily updates and was really patient with our dog who has anxiety outside. We felt completely at ease during our vacation with her watching them, the dogs already miss her 🫶🏻
Hannah is one of the best Gen Z sitters I have ever had, who paid close attention to my instructions and sent me updates regularly. She took care of my furry baby well during this 2nd trip as well. Will definitely use her services and care again, whenever we travel.
Allison was fantastic. She dog-sat for us for 4-5 days, and took excellent care of my golden retriever Willow. Allison took her on walks, snuggled with her, and followed directions to keep her safe perfectly. Allison was communicative the whole time and sent daily photo updates to check in. She also took excellent care of our home and left it cleaner than she found it- even making us some yummy home-made banana bread as a surprise when we returned. She is extremely capable and a pleasure to have around. Thank you so much Allison, we hope you will be available to spend time with Willow again in the future!
Leshalyn was absolutely amazing, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience. Leaving Teegan and Ivy for three nights was a little nerve-wracking, but she made me feel completely at ease from the moment she arrived. Her communication was incredible. She sent multiple photos and videos every day, along with thoughtful updates that made it so easy to see how happy and well cared for they were. It was obvious that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with them and treated them like they were her own. Coming home to two happy, relaxed pets meant everything to me. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave them, and I would trust her with them again without hesitation. Thank you, Leshalyn, for taking such wonderful care of my babies. I hope you’ll be available the next time we travel!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cary on Rover is $50.68 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,072 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cary. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Cary walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Cary maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
