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.
“Roxanna is professional, punctual, reliable and she leaves detailed card for how my kitties are doing every visit. My kitties were happy when I got back from my trip. Highly recommend for drop in visits!”
“Haley was recommended to me by a friend when I found myself in need of help with taking care of my dogs for the month of July. She was punctual and flexible when I had a last minute schedule change. It was a comfort while on shift to know that I didn't have to worry about my dogs and that they were well taken care of. Haley will be my go to for any future dog care needs.”
“Rachel is the best! My cat just loves her and is happy and safe when I come back home. She spends her time with Rachel sitting in her lap and I’m sure purring happily. Her pictures are lovely”
“Our second Rover with Isabelle and we couldn't be happier. She takes care of our dog with so much care, and our cats don't even require care (we have automatic things for them) and she will still send photos of them and love on them. Very happy with her service and highly recommend.”
“Andrei did an excellent job taking care of both of my dogs. I highly recommend him for any breed. I have a large mastiff, and he and Andre instantly bonded. Andrea is also very communicative and responsive when needed.”
“Lorraine took great care of our dogs while on our most recent vacation. She has been our #1 sitter. I’m always impressed with the extra lengths she takes to do things like bring in the mail or roll down the trashcan and clean up the kitchen before we get home in addition to the wonderful pet care. She provides thorough updates and photos so that you don’t have to worry while away.”
“I have rebooked with Stephanie multiple times to watch my cat, DD. I have always appreciated how responsive and thorough Stephanie is with her communication and daily updates (including pictures & videos). I can tell that she truly cares for the pets that she is looking after. I would highly recommend Stephanie for your next pet sit!”
About: I’ve taken care of my friends dogs and cats-including a rambunctious golden retriever, as well as my family dog for years! I’ve walked, fed, and played with many pets, and I love them all 🥰 I have an open schedule, so I can make multiple visits during the morning, afternoon, or evening. I can accommodate any time your dog or cat needs I live very close to a greenway access and can walk your dog there! If your neighborhood offers a dog park or something similar I am open to taking your fur baby there. I can always crate if needed!
“This was our first time with Nikolas and we are pleasantly surprised how happy our boys were during these visits. For sure we'll be calling Nikolas again. Thanks Nikolas ?”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cary
I’m so happy to have Lorraine close by to check on my cats. We have a new cat who is very shy with strangers but she warmed up to Lorraine very quickly. Lorraine also gave us a lot of extra help getting our house ready for some surprise company that arrived before we got home from our trip.
This was my first time leaving my cats with a stranger, and Rachel couldn’t have been a better pick for it. We arranged a meet & greet a few days prior so she could get the lay of the land and let the cats warm up to her. One of my cats hides from new people, the other lashes out. Rachel somehow made them both feel safe enough to be present and curious - the snippy one even genuinely liked her by the end of it! Each morning and night I looked forward to her Rover cards, and really enjoyed watching my babies get more and more comfortable with her. My partner and I are breathing a collective sigh of relief, knowing we now have a go-to cat sitter for future trips.
Catlin was a gem 💎 my baby boy was well taken care of from the beginning till the end if you are looking for a lifesaver and a great hearted person she’s your sitter your baby’s will be very well taken care of you won’t be disappointed in catlin she’s the best! Thanks 😊 for everything 🙏❤️
Lena was so amazing with my cat! She was so caring and loving toward her and made my trip all the less stressful knowing my sweet kitty was being cared for at home. I would request Lena to watch my cat again in a heartbeat, she was so accommodating and and thoughtful.
Alex was wonderful! She was a great communicator throughout our trip, and I felt completely at ease knowing Pippa was in such good hands. She also went above and beyond by bringing our packages inside while we were away, which was such a thoughtful gesture. I really appreciated her care and would absolutely book with her again!
Kathryn was great! She took such good care of our 3 kitties while we were away. She followed all directions perfectly and made sure to send us daily pictures! I would not hesitate to recommend her. With her help, we were able to leave them in the comfort of their own home instead of the stressful, unfamiliar environment of a boarding faciiity. Thank you Kathryn!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Cary on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,451 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cary. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Cary stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cary. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
