“Kristina is the BEST. This is our second time with her services and the boys adore her. It’s so nice to know we have a reliable sitter that they feel comfortable with.”
“After our regular sitter moved away, we were so relieved to meet Kelly! Our dogs immediately accepted Kelly's warm, relaxed demeanor. We're very happy to have another reliable, attentive sitter for the future.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our special girl. I’m glad she went out to the bathroom for you. It gave us a great night out and a great first experience.”
“Vanessa was so fantastic! Very thorough, spent lots of time with the kitties and sent so many photos. She was very communicative and asked permission before bringing her daughter to the house during a visit. Our cats loved interacting with her while we were away, we never worried for a second! Will definitely book again.”
“Emma was so kind and attentive to our puppies! As a thunderstorm rolled through, she took extra care to make a little nook for the pups, I cannot highly recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and reptiles for the past three years and genuinely love spending time with animals. I have hands-on experience walking dogs, feeding them, providing companionship, and caring for them while their owners were away. I’m comfortable following routines, giving lots of attention and affection, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m reliable, patient, and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I would treat your pets with the same love and care that I would my own. I’m currently enrolled in a hybrid college program, with in-person classes only two days a week and the rest of my coursework completed online at my own pace. This gives me a flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week. I’m reliable, organized, and happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit their needs. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pets receive the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any other care requests. I’ll always treat your home with respect and keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to provide a calm, loving, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet.
“This was my first time using Rover but Sydnee was great and exceeded my expectations! Her visit updates were so detailed and made me feel less anxious and nervous about leaving my pups. She even asked for tips about the dogs to make them feel more comfortable too. All in all, it was an awesome experience and will definitely be using Sydnee again in the future! :)”
“Tracey saved our vacation by stepping in at short notice to care for our small dog. At the meet-and-greet, she was very skilled and patient at earning our dog's trust. She sent us lots of pictures and even helped to train our reactive dog during walks. I can't recommend her highly enough! She is a treasure!”
About: I have over 18 years of experience caring for dogs, including looking after friends' pets and raising two Labrador Retrievers of my own. My background includes a deep understanding of dog behavior, daily care routines, and providing loving, reliable attention to dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m fortunate to have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available whenever needed. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your pet. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment, keeping routines consistent and always supervising interactions. I take time to understand each pet’s needs and personality, making sure they feel secure and well cared for—just like part of the family.
About: I’ve had dogs in my family since I was 12 years old. I have three currently of my own, all Shih Tzus. I have dog sat for neighbors as well. One of my dogs had kidney disease that required medication twice daily, weekly vet visits and prescription food. I am well versed in caring for sick and senior dogs as well. I am available after 5pm Monday-Thursday, after 2pm Fridays and all day on Saturday and Sundays. I can also create time if needed, on a case by case basis. I am careful to follow any rules or guides put into place. I am happy to have your dog hangout with me or crate them if that’s what you prefer.
“Ignacio took wonderful care of our dogs while we were out of town. She sent pictures and updates to let us know how they were doing and we came back to very happy doggies. Will definitely reach out to her again if I need someone to care for the dogs while I'm out of town.”
About: I have been volunteering to walk dogs for 1 year now at Red Barn Rescue, along with 63 hours of shadowing at two Veterinary Hospitals, and I already have 1 client for paid dog walking weekly! I am a senior at Fuquay-Varina High School and get out of school at 10:30am, which gives me so much free time to dog walk or pet sit! I play lacrosse which can alter my availability, but it ends in May. I have a huge dream of becoming a veterinarian and I am trying to gain as much experience as I can! I care for pets in all environments and atmosphere by treating them with respect and being cautious of their comfortability. I will always be gentle and mindful with all pets especially when first meeting them. I have such a passion and love for animals and will very much so gently express it.
About: I have had pets my entire life, including dogs, cats, fish, and hamsters, which has given me experience caring for animals with different needs and personalities. I have also watched my neighbors' dogs for the past six years, helping with feeding, walking, playtime, and general care. In addition, I currently have a dog of my own, so I understand the importance of providing pets with attention, exercise, patience, and loving care. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom, and my kids are in school during the day, which gives me plenty of free time to care for pets. After dropping my kids off at school, I'm generally available from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention and companionship. While I do pick my kids up from school and attend some after-school activities, I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable, loving care throughout the day. In my home, I care for a two-year-old Goldendoodle, a pink toe tarantula, and fish, so I'm experience with caring for different of pets and their individual needs. My dog gets daily walks, is fed twice a day, and enjoys treats, regular grooming, and plenty of playtime both indoors and outdoors. I make sure all of my pets receive lots of attention, exercise, and loving care every day. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their normals routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and safe. I have watched my neighbor's' dogs on many occasions while they were on vacation or away for weekends. During those times, I visited their home about four times a day to walk, feed, play with, and give attention to their dogs. I also cared for their fish by feeding them and checking on them during each visit. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets are being cared for with patience, reliability, and love.
About: I have had many different types of dogs in my life, such as a Pomeranian and a golden retriever. I also used to have an olde English bulldog. Our last dog was a Bassett hound/boxer mix. He crossed the rainbow bridge in November 2025. I love taking dogs for long walks in the neighborhood or around different trails. I think it’s important for dogs to get as much exercise as possible. I also would love to throw a ball or lay around and cuddle with your dog. We also have a fenced in backyard for dogs to run and get plenty of exercise. Your dog will be a part of our family when they stay with us. I am available most afternoons. I am also available Friday afternoon through Sunday. I would love to help take care of your dog while you can’t be there. Please just let me know what you and your dog’s needs are and I will help as much as you want. I work full time out of the house, but am gone for no more than 8 hours. Your dog can be let out right before I leave and as soon as I get home. Once I get home I can play and love on your pet. I have a fenced in yard and your dog can run around as much as he wants. I also have two young children that love to chase and play games with your dog. Your dog can lay on the couch, sleep in our bed, or whatever is most comfortable for them.

“We were hesitant at first to use Rover, but our experience having Katie come check on our puppy Queso has been great! She is always responsive, on time for visits and give us updates on how the visit went. She also takes the best pictures of Queso! We really appreciate all of her help and care for our puppy.”
“My dog River is shy and loved Alyse and that says a lot. I will definitely be rebooking her to walk or come pet sit again. She did a great job, I trust her and so does River. It’s a win win!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fuquay-Varina
We had a wonderful experience! They stopped by to care for our pets during dinner, took Rodger on a nice walk, and gave our kitties plenty of love and snuggles. It was clear they genuinely cared about our animals and made sure everyone was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. Knowing our pets were in such caring hands gave us so much peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend them and will definitely be booking with them again!
Amanda was a fantastic sitter for our dog that requires bladder expression. This was the first time we’ve been away from the dogs and used a sitter, we were very nervous but the experience could not have better for us or the dogs. Amanda’s attention to detail, veterinary background, and clear and frequent communication put us at ease the entire time we were away from the pups!
Carolyn did a wonderful job checking in on my dog while I was away. She made sure she had food and fresh water, let her out, spent time with her, and sent updates and photos that gave me real peace of mind. It was reassuring to know my dog was being cared for and getting some extra attention while I was gone. I would absolutely recommend her and would gladly use her services again!
Jennifer was amazing and such a huge help for us during a really unpredictable time while we were waiting for the arrival of our son. She was kind enough to stay on standby for drop-in visits with our dog, and the day we got admitted to the hospital she was incredibly easy to get ahold of, accommodating, and flexible. She sent us tons of updates and pictures which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was very clear our dog felt comfortable and happy with her, and that meant everything to us. We’re so grateful for her help and will absolutely be using her again in the future!
I was so fortunate to find Vicki and Michael! .They are timely, conscientious, followed my camel's (just kidding!) watering instructions and, most importantly, were loving towards my fella. They replaced the gate and put feeding items back as found. They even walked him twice on their visit! I think my fella likes Michael more than me! Vicki even chose to stay and visit extra with him while Michael did a nearby errand (How sweet is that?) where upon my pooch fell asleep on her lap! Thanks, you two. I anticipate using them again!
Alicia was our first experience with using a pet sitter, she came at lunch time to let our dog out for a midday break and played ball with her for several months. Our dog is a rescue, but mostly Belgium Malinois mix so high drive and mischievous requiring someone patient yet firm. Alicia is dependable, communicative and we could tell by the daily photos she provided that Peanut loved her visits with her. She was great at correcting and redirecting her bad behaviors (hole digging) - we were so relieved to have such a wonderful caretaker for our pet and would 100% recommend her.
An amazing job! I needed a last minute drop in due to last min holiday plans and they went above and beyond! Not only did they give food/water but also played and interacted with them. I could tell my fur babies had a great time, and I really appreciate all the help!

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.
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 Fuquay-Varina 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
