“Leslie was absolutely wonderful while house sitting for my dogs, Roo and Ringo. From the moment we connected, she was kind, personable, and easy to communicate with, which gave me a lot of confidence while I was away. She took excellent care of both dogs, followed all of my instructions carefully, and made sure their routines stayed consistent. One thing I especially appreciated was how proactive she was with updates. She regularly sent messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind and let me see that Roo and Ringo were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would not hesitate to book Leslie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter. Roo and Ringo were in great hands!”
“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: Over 20 years of experience of dog walking pet sitting - from puppies to older pups. Currently working towards certification to become a veterinary assistant :) I'm a teacher so I have plenty of time to hang out, play, and walk your pets during the late afternoon and early evenings. During the school year I'm often available on Weekends and holidays. I am currently not hosting pets in my home as I have a grumpy senior dog prone to seizures if overly excited. At your home, I will follow any rules or boundaries that you set in place :)
“Jalanie did a great job taking care of Sierra and Alex. She was very responsive to inquiries and very communicative during our trip away from the dogs. We are looking forward to Jalanie taking care of them again.”
“She did a wonderful job making sure that our anxious dogs and their anxious moms were taken care of. We got a bunch of pictures, and updates throughout the stay! She was wonderful and understanding if we reached out frequently”
“Faith did a great job house sitting and pet sitting our boys! Everything was in perfect order when we returned, she sent lots of pictures and updates and the dogs loved having her around. Highly recommend!”
“Cora did an excellent job with my first baby Tiller, while we were in the hospital for an extended stay to have my actual first baby. Regular updates and enjoyed her time watching tiller live her best life”
“Anjalique took great care of my 3 month old puppy who required more attention than an older dog would need. She sent me pictures during my time away and my dog was happy and healthy when I returned.”
“Courtney communicated very well before, during and after the recent house sitting booking. She was very responsive and was flexible to the requirements of Hank. I would recommend Courtney and would plan to book her to take care of Hank again in the future.”
“Neva was a great housesitter and petsitter for us. She was very friendly, professional, and sent daily updates. She handled not only our two cats and fish, but our 3 chickens, well! We would love to have Neva back again to house or petsit.”
“Tania is absolutely amazing. She is my main Dogsitter now with both the attention and care to my dogs and my home she gave on my recent trip. No question she loves dogs as your dogs tell the story and they told me they were well cared for and loved with how stress free they were upon my return. Without question I will be using her again and again. I wish I could give her more stars as she deserves a perfect 10.”
“Alex was great! We received tons of pictures and videos of Roxy while we were gone which was comforting as this was our first time using Rover. The house was the same as when we left it when we arrived home. Alex even went above and beyond by washing the sheets and towels she used while she was here before we returned home. There isn’t enough to say about how great this experience was! Thank you Alex! Roxy cannot wait to see you again soon :)”
About: Hi! I’m Cassandra, and I’m a teacher in my 12th year of working with children and families. I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable person who genuinely loves animals and would be excited to help care for your pets! I’ve had a cat for the past 12 years, along with having pets throughout my childhood. I’ve also had experience with a variety of dog breeds over the years, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve also cared for my own cat when she needed oral medication, so I understand the importance of following instructions carefully and keeping pets comfortable when they need a little extra care. As a teacher, I’m naturally responsible, patient, organized, and attentive to details. I know that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs, and I’ll take the time to learn what makes your pet comfortable and happy. Whether that means a long walk, playtime, feeding on a specific schedule, medication, or simply some extra companionship while you're away, I’m happy to follow their routine. I’m primarily available for evening and weekend pet care, making me a great option for weekend trips, date nights, vacations, and other times when you need someone you can trust. Most importantly, I know that pets are family. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care, respect, and attention that I would want for my own. A Little More About Me 🐶🐱 • 12 years of experience with my own cat • Experience with dogs of various breeds and sizes • Comfortable administering oral medications • Experienced with feeding schedules and established pet routines • Patient, responsible, and attentive • 12 years working professionally with children and families • Reliable and comfortable communicating with pet parents • Available evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and see if I’d be a good fit for your family! 🐾 I work a typical school schedule and often walk my miles after school hours or before school hours. I am free on most weekends and during trackouts during the school day as well. I am comfortable checking in on, walking pets or attending to pets, or pet-sitting in the client's home if necessary. I do not take pets into my home due to already having one of my own.
“Kaitlyn was wonderful! She sent updates with adorable photos. She was on time and very flexible with our pets needs/behaviors. We will definitely be reaching out to her for services requests again.”
“Kim once again did a fantastic job with my two goldens. She follows my (rather long) instructions perfectly, provides many updates, and genuinely cares for and loves on my dogs. She’s very honest and transparent with any questions she has. Would recommend- she is my go to pet sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cary
Peyton was fantastic with my dog Dixie! From the first meet and greet she asked great questions to make sure she understood Dixie’s routines and needs. While I was away she provided regular updates with photos and information on how things were going. Dixie looked happy and relaxed in every one of them. During the stay we had some severe storms and tornado warnings and Peyton made sure to keep me posted and even sent a picture when they were in the closet waiting out the storms! It’s clear she cares deeply for the animals she has been given charge of! When I got home, my house was clearly well cared for and Dixie was calm and happy. It’s rare to find someone who treats your dog and home like their own. I highly recommend Peyton and will definitely be booking again!
Nikolas is currently our dog walker and stayed at our house over the weekend while we were out of town. He was such a big help and very responsive. I also have some anxiety about leaving our pup at home and Nik was very quick to send us a picture and let us know he was doing good! I recommend him for your walking and house sitting needs.
Eliza was a great pet sitter! She was consistent with communication and sending us picture updates. Eliza even had some vehicle trouble but still able to maintain sitting and check-ins, major props to her for that! We will definitely be using Eliza again in the future
Zainab is incredible! I'm a nervous dog mom, but whenever she babysits our three dogs I am worry-free because I know they're under the best care. She is great at sending photos and updates. The dogs are always so, so happy to play and have slumber parties with Zainab! Not only does she take wonderful care of our pups, but she also takes great care of our home. My husband and I highly recommend Zainab's services!
Collin helped save the day when our original dog sitter canceled on us 10 days before our trip. Collin was quick to respond beforehand and during our trip and asked questions to make sure our dog was well taken care of. Collin stayed at our house for 6 nights, sent several pictures of our dog, and left the house clean and orderly. Thank you Collin for helping us especially on short notice!
David did a stellar job (per usual) with our two girlies! They take medicine nightly and he put up with our angsty teen, Toby, every night! He’s great at snapping photos and kept us feeling safe leaving them in his care. He’s a great communicator and even ran an errand for me (thank you again so much!) David is one of a kind and we love having him watch our girls when we leave!
Courtney is amazing! She always goes the extra mile with our pup Gretel and she always leaves our house spotless. She loves Gretel as if she is her own. She always sends us long videos and lots of pics which we love. It’s so nice to be able to relax and not stress about our dog. I would absolutely recommend Courtney to anyone!
Addy took care of my two dogs for a weekend & did great! It was great to have someone who was willing to spend the night with my dogs while being away! She followed the care instructions I provided, sent me some pictures, & communicated how the girls were doing. The dogs were happy & healthy when we got back from our trip!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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 sitter.
