“Lorraine is the best pet sitter I’ve ever had — and we've used a couple of dozen on Rover. She was responsive, took wonderful care of our kitties, and went above and beyond to make sure that our animals and home were in perfect condition for the duration of our trip. We will continue to use her and highly recommend her to anyone else looking for pet care in the Triangle area!”
“Rosemary is a fantastic pet sitter. She took incredible care of our cat and he loved every visit. She had excellent communication, gave us detailed updates on our cat, and went above and beyond to understand our and our cats needs, including feeding, supplement, toy, treat, litter and other needs. We would absolutely work with her again.”
“Cecilia was amazing! She was super responsive, sent a ton of pics and was able to help me out last minute when my kennel shutdown. She left my place super clean and my dog seemed super happy when I got home.”

“I’ve booked with Sabrina a few times now to watch my 2 cats. She has always been so accommodating to my requests and really works hard to put my mind at ease leaving them when I am away. During our most recent booking I had to add several last minute drop in visits due to some unforeseen circumstances and Sabrina was more than willing to be helpful in an already stressful situation! She has been great to work with and my cats love to see her as well.”
“Cyd was fantastic with our kitties, even with our shy girl who usually takes time to warm up to new people. We had to work quickly on establishing since our usual pet sitter had to cancel on us last minute, but Cyd was easy to work with and we are really glad it worked out!”

About: I have owned pets my entire life: Dogs big and small, cats, and even small animals! I especially love drop ins and dog walking as way to stay active. In my hometown I built up a pet sitting clientele through world of mouth and have experience with both drop-ins and multi-night stays. I will gladly take your pets on long walks to their favorite park, spend time playing and relaxing with your cats, and ensure their food, water, and medical needs are taken care of.

About: Hi, fellow pet lovers! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly believes pets are family. I grew up around dogs and have cared for them throughout my life. I had a Boston Terrier growing up, and today I’m the proud human of Orion, my 12-year-old Shiba Inu. Having a dog for so many years has taught me how important it is to pay attention to the little things, especially as pets get older. I’m caring, organized, and detail-oriented, and I’ll make sure your pet’s meals, walks, potty breaks, medications, and routines are followed exactly as requested. I also know every pet is different. Some love endless playtime, others prefer long walks or a cozy day of cuddles. My goal is to get to know your pet, respect their personality, and help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pup is playful, shy, adventurous, or a professional napper, I’ll treat them like family and give them plenty of love, attention, and companionship. 🐶 💛 I’m currently a graduate student and have a structured schedule, but I love making time for animals. I’m available for morning walks and check-ins anytime before 11:30 AM during the weekdays. I’m fully available Friday through Sunday, including evenings and nights! I’m also always happy to chat and see if I happen to be available outside of my regular hours. I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s routine whenever I can! 🐶💛 When house sitting, I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable in their own home while you’re away. I carefully follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and bedtime, and I pay close attention to any special instructions you provide. I’m very organized and detail-oriented, so I make sure your home and your pet are well cared for. I’m respectful of your space, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and getting plenty of love! 🐾💛

“I highly recommend Jalanie. She took excellent care of my two lady cats, Iris and Lulu, while I was on vacation. Jalanie was attentive and reliable; she followed all the instructions for the cat’s care while checking on them, and kept me updated all the time. It was such a relief to know Lulu and Iris were in great hands. I’ll definitely keep Jalanie in mind for whenever I need a pet sitter.”
About: I’m dependable and genuinely care about making others feel comfortable and taken care of. My military experience has strengthened my sense of responsibility and discipline. I’m currently finishing my degree online, which gives me a flexible schedule that allows time for pet care. I’m able to plan my day around school since I have the flexibility of it being online. Making pets feel safe and comfortable is my priority. I follow normal routine and take on specific instructions from the owner. I also feel that asking questions is important and try to do so ahead of the owner’s time away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cary
Comfort has been doing regularly drop in visits for my dog and she has been wonderful! She’s very attentive to instructions and follows any directions closely. She’s always been careful to lock my house up thoroughly after leaving which I really appreciate. Would definitely recommend Comfort!
Sabrina did a fantastic job! She was thoughtful, communicative and proactive. She even checked in about packages that we received. We feel reassured knowing our two cats are in her care. We appreciated how attentive she was and would definitely recommend her!
Emma did a great job taking care of Moose while I was away! She stopped by on three different occasions to let him out, make sure he had food, take him for walks, and spend some time keeping him company. I really appreciated knowing Moose was being well cared for and getting plenty of attention. I would definitely recommend Emma and would be happy to have her care for Moose again!
I can’t say enough great things about the care she provided for my cats over the weekend on short notice. I was a bit worried as I have never had any experiences with a pet sitter prior to this and my cats are a little bit more on the shy side but from the first drop in they came out to greet her and were happily playing! She was always providing me with updates during the drop ins as well as the best quality pictures. I am forever thankful to have found the best pet sitter to take care of my kitties whenever I need it!
Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my cats while I was away! I especially appreciate you going above and beyond to help with the faulty fire alarm that kept going off. What could have been an incredibly stressful situation was so much easier knowing they were in such good hands. I’m so grateful for your kindness, flexibility, and care! 🩷🩷
I have had Katherine watch my pets many times over the past few years. When she’s with my pets, I know I can relax and that they’re in good care when I’m out of town. 2 of my cats can be a bit shy, but they come out of hiding when Katherine comes over to play. Thank you once again, Katherine!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cary is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 5,419 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cary. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 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.
