About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have experience with dogs, cats, and small animals, and spent four years working as a Veterinary Assistant in Wilmington and Chapel Hill. I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering patience, safety, and lots of love. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and deeply loved while you’re away. I currently work from home running a small business. I do not work every day. I am flexible and available to help you out when needed. I have a Labrador Retriever and two senior, friendly domestic shorthair cats of my own. While you’re away, I care for your pets as if they were my own. I follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and take time to understand each animal’s personality and needs. I like to keep a log for you on how they did and how things went for our time together. We have a nice sized home to accommodate your furry friend. Pets are allowed upstairs. We are happy to have your baby sleep on his or her bed in our room at night, or a crate if that’s what they are used to. Please supply your pet’s favorite bed or crate. Pets are allowed on the couch. We have a large, fenced back yard for those pups that like to sunbathe or sniff around during the day! I focus on calm, gentle care, plenty of affection (when welcomed), and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive to behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I communicate regularly so you have peace of mind. I have experience with senior dogs and cats, puppies and kittens and special needs pets through vet time experience and personal experience.
“Kate took excellent care of our senior cat while we were away for the weekend. She followed all directions that were left, kept us updated, and was prompt to respond to messages. We appreciate her attention to detail and the extra love she gave to our old girl. We will be booking Kate again in the future and highly recommend her to others.”
“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.”
“Kelsey is amazing, was willing to work with me on a really short notice, and kept up constant communication with me to keep me updated while I was away on vacation. She even taught my dog a new trick while I was away! Will definitely use her in the future.”
“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.”
“Amanda, was amazing !! She was so good with my pup and very friendly and kind . I will definitely use her again in the future . Amanda is your girl for sure for all your sitter needs.”
“Vanessa was absolutely amazing. Vanessa instantly responded back when I messaged her. She went above and beyond and took the best care of our pup. She sent so many pictures and was so great at communicating. We came home to one happy dog all thanks to Vanessa!!”
About: I grew up with Rottweilers. My parents had one when engaged, that made it until I was 3. We then got another for my 9th birthday, and two more after she passed in 2023. I have taken care of neighbors dogs, including walking and feeding, and know what it takes to look after any size or age of dog. I moved to NC in September, to be closer to my girlfriend in medical school. I currently work at NCSU at the vet school as an OR tech. I have worked in the veterinary field for 6 years now, ranging from basic general practice to trauma and surgery. I aspire to become a veterinarian, and hope I can start vet school in the next few years. I’m looking to get my own dog with my girlfriend now that I moved away from home, so we’re hoping this can help fund one! I appreciate your trust in watching your best friends, I promise to offer nothing but the best! I currently work 12-9 M-F. I do get an hour lunch, so anyone in the area near NCSU I can walk and visit on lunch otherwise, weekends are normally always free. My apartment complex is very large, and has a dog park provided. I will make sure I fit the needs of your pet, no matter where I am or what the task is. I plan to give your pet the best experience possible whilst respecting your home.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the level of attention and genuine care I give to each pet. I treat every animal as if they were my own, taking time to understand their personality, routines, and needs. I’m reliable, communicative, and make sure owners always feel at ease with updates and photos while they’re away. Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine. I schedule feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins around my other commitments so that every pet gets consistent attention and care. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening visits, I plan ahead to make sure each pet’s routine stays as normal and stress-free as possible. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. In my home, I create a calm, safe space where they can relax, play, and feel loved. I respect their routines and surroundings so they feel secure. I always make sure they get plenty of affection, exercise, and one-on-one time — just like they would with their owner.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fuquay-Varina
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!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fuquay-Varina 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.
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.
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 .

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.
To find sitters in Fuquay-Varina with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
