About: I've been an animal lover all my life and have taken care of a variety of animals like rabbits, cats and kittens, ferrets, and dogs and puppies. Neighbors, classmates, coworkers, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and generally offer a home away from home experience for their pets. I also have some training in the veterinary field and have a background in Biology and medication management. I'm also a fellow customer on Rover and I offer the same top-notch experience that I look for in my sitters. My goal is to ensure your peace of mind and to guarantee that your fur family member(s) have the best time when we hang out together. I've done boarding in the pets' homes, dog walking, cat walking, boarding in my home, drop-in visits, and administering medications (including injections). Currently, I am offering drop-in visits in your home and dog (or cat!) walking. I also love to take care of animals like fish, ferrets, and birds! I have a flexible schedule and would love to either drop in for a visit with your fur family members or to take them out for a walk in the great outdoors. I am a highly conscientious caretaker and will do my best to provide a seamless experience when I am taking care of your pet. My current fur family has a variety of needs, so I have lots of experience managing multiple pets and multiple types of care at the same time. For example, my dog, Cedar, is a senior pup and requires injections once a week and daily oral medications, so I've gotten creative to find a routine that works best for him. I have 2 cats, one who is a grazer and one who eats every kibble in sight, so feeding has been an adventure. But, I'm always ready for a challenge and I enjoy giving the best possible care to every pet I encounter. I share these examples to show that I am adaptable and open to whatever type of care your fur family member(s) need.

I've walked and dogsat large breeds, like huskies, staffies, labs, goldens, shepherds, collies, etc., and I'm comfortable with harnesses, muzzles, and waist leashes. I've given meds to many sick and senior animals (dogs and cats), using pill injectors and pill pockets. I can also do puppy basics like potty schedules and crate routines, if we keep a consistent schedule. I've volunteered at shelters since 2006, competed and been on training staff at horse competitions, farm sat, volunteered with therapeutic horse riding programs, and worked as a horse camp counselor. Taking care of animals has always been a big priority in my life :) My schedule is flexible, so I can fit visits around your day.

I also have family nearby who help with childcare, so last-minute requests are often doable if communication is clear. I reply fast and will always tell you early if something changes. At my home, my backyard is fully fenced appropriately for all sizes of dogs. Larger dogs get leashed walks (quiet neighborhood with no other dogs off leash) and supervised play. I have two friendly, dog- and cat-social German Shepherds and a cat, so we will have to arrange a meet and greet first. At your home, I'll follow your routines, keep doors and gates secured, and send regular photo updates.

“Loren was an amazing pet sitter. She was incredibly communicative, loving, and caring with my dogs. Always punctual, attentive, and truly impossible to improve on. She was consistently willing to help, very service-oriented, and made us feel completely at ease. I highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her again with my pets.”

“Priscilla was very prompt, sweet and extra attentive to our girl while we were gone. Our dog clearly loved her, and when we came home, we found a sweet little portrait of Mucca that Priscilla had drawn for us. 10/10 service! Will definitely use again. ☺️”

“We had a great experience with Nichole! We booked her for drop in visits while we were out of town. She took great care of our dogs, was reliable, followed their feeding schedules and routines, and provided clear updates with photos and other information. We will definitely book with her again.”

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!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Fuquay-Varina is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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 5,289 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Fuquay-Varina. 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.
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.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
