“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!”
“This is our first time using Rover. Did everything i asked for and sent me lots of pictures and updates. Kelsey did amazing, very trustworthy. Took good care of our 8 months old dog and our cat. On top of that the house was very clean when she left. I would use Kelsey again when i have to leave.”
“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”
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.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our puppy! Zainab was incredibly responsible, friendly, and truly professional throughout the entire week. She stayed with our (very spoiled!) pup the whole time and treated him like family, with so much love, care, and cuddles. We received regular updates and adorable photos, along with thoughtful notes about our puppy’s meals, outdoor time, and overall well-being. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, attentive, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Isabelle was AMAZING with my animals which was proven through many photos of my animals always by her side and following her around (even my cat who is scared of people)! I would highly recommend her.”
“Natallia was great with Duck! She was very communicative and made sure both Duck and I were comfortable when I had to leave! I will definitely work with Natallia in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Amber did a great job sitting and taking care of my dog! She was attentive and kept me well informed. I would definitely recommend her and would love to have her sit with him again in the future”
“Outstanding sitter who saved us after a last minute cancellation from our other sitter. She was thorough, thoughtful, caring, communicative, and left the place super tidy. We can’t recommend highly enough.”
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.
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 love animals of all kinds but especially cats! I have experience caring for all kinds of cats from kittens to seniors. My experience includes overnight visits, medication administration, feeding, grooming, and of course play time! I am comfortable caring for multiple pets or just one. I am a pet owner myself so I know how hard it can be to leave your loved one in someone else’s hands! Rest assured that I will treat your pet with the same love and care I would show to my own cat! I am available 7 days a week, early morning or afternoon. Please feel free to message me with any questions, I am happy to help! My schedule is very flexible, I am typically available to care for your pet in the early morning or afternoon. Please let me know if you have any questions. I am available to care for your pet in your home. I am comfortable with daily visits or overnight care. Please let me know your preference and I am happy to accommodate.
“Britney was outstanding!! She was extremely communicative sent tons of pictures to us every day. Our cat usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but he felt comfortable with her right away. She also left our home very clean which was extremely appreciated too. Our home and furr babies were clearly well taken care of!”
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cary
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!
Kelsey took outstanding care of our dog and 2 cats at our house. This was her second time caring for our cats and first time caring for our dog. She provided multiple pictures and updates each day, and closely monitored the well being of all of our pets. All of our pets felt very comfortable around Kelsey, including our very skittish cat. Kelsey was also very tidy in our home. I highly recommend Kelsey.
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!
Anjalique was absolutely wonderful with my girls! Incredibly communicative throughout the whole stay, so I always knew how they were doing. She took amazing care of them, especially around the Fourth of July fireworks, making sure they felt safe and calm through all the noise. On top of that, she was so thoughtful, kind, and flexible when plans shifted. I couldn't recommend her more, my girls are in the best hands with her, and I'll definitely be booking her again!
Eliza was amazing. Our 3 animals (2 cats and a dog) absolutely loved her! She followed our feeding schedules and made sure to give our pup walks throughout the day! She kept us updated throughout the week with photos and updates. Very attentive and nice! Cannot recommend her enough!

FAQs for House Sitting - Cary
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cary on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,021 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.
