“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! 🙂”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Zainab was great with communicating and professional during our meet and greet. Seeing that she had multiple repeat clients was encouraging, and I would definitely reach out to Zainab again myself to watch our cats. She stayed with our cats for several hours a to day for a week. She sent pictures and gave brief summaries of how they were doing”
“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!”
“Cayla was great with my boys! I have two pups and they’re very different but she was able to connect with both of them. She sent me texts and pictures to let me know they were doing okay and I really appreciated that because I worry a lot. She was really wonderful and I have already booked her again for a weekend in March!”
“Courtney saved us last minute when we suddenly needed a sitter for a few hours in the evening for our big senior pittie. Super responsive, very empathetic, and would send us lots of cute pics! Thanks for taking care of Benji!”
“Shannon was awesome with our dogs when we were away, and even agreed to watch them an extra day at the last minute due to a death in our family. We’ve already got her booked for more time with the dogs!”
“Susan was wonderful with Rory and Griffin. I could tell they both received lots of love and attention and Rory got plenty of active time. She kept me updated often with pictures and she left the house how she found it. Definitely recommend her as a sitter and would definitely be happy to book her again.”
“DaNesha was great with my animals. She communicated clearly, was transparent and honest while we worked out scheduling details, and followed through with everything discussed. She kept me updated along the way and my animals were happy when I returned. We will hire DaNesha again without hesitation.”
“Jennifer is the best! Our animals love her, and she leaves the house nicer than when she arrived. I (the nervous pet mama) especially appreciate the pics and updates she sends. We’ll definitely use her again!”
“Lauren was a first time sitter for Rigby when our “regular” was not available. She spent 4 overnights with 5 walks. Lauren was communicative, timely, sent lots of photos/updates. She alerted me when she found that Rigby had thrown up his food. She cleaned up as best she could and asked if I had specific instructions for handling the situation. We look forward to working with Lauren again for a walk or an overnight stay! Highly recommend!”
“Cass housesat for my two kitties and was great! I got lots of updates and photos and both kitties seemed more relaxed when I returned than they usually are when I'm away. I definitely recommend Cass and would book again.”
“Britney was amazing! We need a house sitter last minute, and she came through! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our home and animals were in such capable hands. She sent us multiple pictures, communicated throughout the day and followed all of my instructions, which really helped us relax while we were away. On top of that, our home was spotless when we returned, and everything was exactly as we left it (if not better!). All 3 animals (2 cats, 1 dog) responded well to her and even slept with her! Britney has a talent for relating to animals and the animals responding in turn. We will definitely book her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cary
This was my first time working with Nadia and she was absolutely wonderful! She took incredible care of my two very needy pups and home while I was out of town, communicating often and easily throughout her stay. I will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future to care for our pups!
I could tell at our meet & greet that Sherri would take most excellent care of our dogs and of our home, and she absolutely did. My dogs absolutely loved her and so did I. We had a death in the family a day or two before she was scheduled to come stay. Her schedule happened to be flexible and she was kind enough to let us significantly alter it at the last minute. Because of the emergency, I left my home in less than stellar shape before our trip. Sherri not only sent beautiful photos and videos of our pups daily, but she also went above and beyond and pitched in with the laundry while we were away. I came home to happy doggos, clean laundry and beautiful flowers in the kitchen. Highly recommend without reservation. Thanks, Sherri!
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!
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found DaNesha, especially since this was a last-minute booking. From the start, she was dependable, communicative, and reassuring. She took excellent care of Lola and treated our home with respect while we were away. We returned to a happy Lola which gave us complete peace of mind. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would gladly recommend DaNesha to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.
Aqsa was incredible! She took better care of our dog and four cats than we could have ever hoped for. We received proactive communications and incredible photos from Aqsa during our week-long vacation, and she did an excellent job taking care of our home while we were gone. When one of our cats got sick she offered to drive her to an emergency vet right away. She then did an amazing job taking care of our sick kitty by providing extra TLC and antibiotics until we returned. Her love of animals is evident, and we are excited to rebook Aqsa again soon!
This was our first time using Rover for boarding and having someone come to our house to stay with our puppy Zoey! Jess was amazing and we cannot thank her enough for taking such good care of Zoey while we were gone. She was so loving to our precious girl, sent us pictures each morning and night and gave us updates on how things were going! We absolutely recommend Jess and plan to reach out to her again when we are going out of town! ❤️❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cary on Rover is $53.28 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,067 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
