About: Growing up, I had 7 dogs in the house I cared for all at the same time for several years, ranging in size and age. Currently I own a Doberman, South African Mastiff(AKA Boerboel), a Pitt mix, and a Pomeranian! Although I haven’t owned a cat, I do care for my aunt’s kitten when needed! I am free from Saturdays at 5pm until Tuesdays at 6pm every week, this availability is due to the fact that I do have my daughter the other days, but I am also comfortable bringing her if your pet is child friendly feel free to message and I can come outside of this exact availability! I enjoy exercise, so any energetic animal will be fine with me, I am able to take long walks if that’s a preference of yours.
“Amber always goes above and beyond taking care of my two cats! I was gone for 12 days and one of my cats was not eating well and hiding. She helped me troubleshoot and made sure he was well-cared for!”
About: I've never lived without having a pet. Dogs, cats, reptiles, bunnies and guinea pigs have brought enormous amounts of joy and love to my life. Each pet still has a special place in my heart, and I care for others pets as if they were my own. Pets are family! I work part-time and would love to meet and care for your pets in my free time! I currently have a puppy and 2 cats of my own. My puppy (Duck) was being rehomed by a family that discovered their son is allergic to dogs, and I couldn't resist his sweet face. My orange cat (Goose) was taken in after my daughter's friend's cat had kittens, and my big black cat (Apache) was adopted from the Right Meow cat cafe in Fuquay. My apartment has a dog park, which i go to 1-2 times a day with my puppy, Duck. I've taught him how to use the agility equipment, and he always loves to play between sniff sessions. My cats are big cuddle babies, but also like their space at times, so their requests for personal space (and treats) is always respected.
“Kristina is amazing, extremely responsible, very communicative and my one to go to take care of my peta while out. Her special powers include making your fish multiply while she take care of them 😂”
“Sarah is amazing!!!! We don't trust many people with our kitty cats but sarah is dependable, trustworthy and most of all accepted and adored by two VERY picky cats 🐈!! She is 100000% our go to sitter. She always goes above and beyond to do a phenomenal job. You won't find a more loving person of animals on this app than sarah in our opinion.”

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.

“Ravi was great! He was so attentive to my girls and provided detailed updates for all 5 days I was out of town with my family. I would absolutely book again next time I need someone to watch my cats!”
“Julia was very patient and skilled with our new puppy, who is getting used to meeting new people (and very expressive about the experience). We would definitely trust Julia to take care of our dog.”
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.
About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to make sure your pet is comfortable and loved when life gets busy. I have experience with senior dogs, puppies and cats. I look forward to loving on your pet! I am currently working part time and primarily from home. My flexible schedule makes drop in visits and walks super manageable. I love spending my breaks walking or playing with animals! I care for your pet as if it’s my own. I am incredibly respectful of others homes and will ensure all access points are locked and nothing is disturbed. Your pet will have food and water as instructed and crated as requested as well. Whatever instructions you leave will be followed.
“Kasey is the absolute best! He took real good care of my 2 cats while I was away on vacation and he is so nice! Honestly I can’t say enough good things about him! Definitely one of the best (if not the best) on Rover! Next time I’m on vacation I hope he’s available to watch my cats again!”
“Audrey did a wonderful job checking in on our dog and 2 cats while we were away. We got report cards with pictures for every visit and she kept us updated on any concerns that arose. We would be happy to book her services again in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fuquay-Varina
Sydnee was amazing! She was so great with our girl. I loved getting updates throughout our trip and she was so attentive and communicative. I had no worries because I knew our girl was in great hands with Sydnee! Highly highly recommend her for anyone needing a pet sitter!!
Kailin did a wonderful job taking care of my dog! She followed all of my instructions perfectly and gave her lots of love and attention. She took her on a nice long walk, played with her in the backyard, and made sure she ate her dinner. I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was. I would definitely recommend Kailin!
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!
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!

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.
