“Sally is awesome-she really cares about your pets. I can relax knowing that she's going to give my dog plenty of attention and care. She's very communicative and professional and I can't recommend Sally enough!”


About: I’ve been caring for pets for friends and family for the past 4 years. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I currently work part-time, so my availability varies during the week. I work full days on Fridays, but outside of that I’m flexible. I always follow your care instructions, keep a clean and secure environment, and make sure pets have fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of love.
“Alicia is absolutely wonderful with our GG! She came up with a method to not have GG pull on her walks, and GG has made her her most favorite person. We highly recommend Alicia!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life—often caring for more than one at a time—so daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and recognizing behavior patterns are second nature to me. I also have experience caring for cats and small animals, and I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I’m very detail-oriented and take the time to follow your pet’s routine closely, whether that’s specific feeding instructions, medication schedules, preferred walking routes, or favorite toys and habits. I understand that consistency is what helps pets feel safe and at ease, especially when their owners are away. You can expect thoughtful, reliable care and consistent updates so you always know how your pet is doing. As a teacher, I have expanded availability during the summer and can take on additional bookings during that time. Currently, I offer evening and weekend availability and do my best to accommodate schedules with advance notice. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a friendly, well-socialized dog in my home who gets along well with others; however, I always introduce pets gradually and will keep my dog separated or crated as needed until everyone is fully comfortable. Pets in my care receive regular leash walks, plenty of playtime, and mental stimulation to keep them happy and engaged. I follow all routines and instructions closely and am happy to accommodate any specific requests to make sure your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for.
About: Hiya 👋 I am Kristyn and I love all things dogs! I currently have 2 of my own, Puck a 90lb hound mix and Hattie a 30lb pocket pittie who I love dearly. I spent a good chunk of my time volunteering at a local animal shelter in NY when I lived there and so I am well versed with working with all different dog personalities. I wound up adopting 2 from there, who have since passed, and had to work with them both on both stranger and dog issues. At my time at the shelter I did participate in dog training programs to help dogs get adopted and have used that within my own dog ownership with my own dogs. I went through the growing pains with my older boys so I am comfortable with seniors and have had plenty of time with puppies that I am also comfortable with them! When I first moved to NC I worked at an vet for about a year and a half as a kennel tech and vet assistant/helper. I was tasked with administering all meds to boarders and am more than comfortable doing so should your pup need!! I currently work from home 4 days a week but work right in Fuquay on the 1 day I am in the office. My son is currently in preschool 5 days a week and my daughter in daycare 2 days a week to which I am their school bus so just twice a day I have to take care of that. Otherwise more than able to walk between 9am and 3pm. But message me if times needed outside of that range and can definitely help out! I am available for in your home boarding/dog sitting as well as dog walking as needed. I prefer to keep your furbabies as much on your schedule as possible so a meet and greet is best to determine the best plan of action while out of town. Plenty of outside time or just relaxing inside as needed and time out of the crate if necessary! At this time I will not be offering in my home care but who knows it could be something I am able to do in the future!
“Kate is top notch! We've used her a dozen times and will use her services again. Our pup is always elated to see her. She takes her time with him and is never rushed. She's awesome!!”

About: Have owned my own dogs and cats over the years. As they've grown older and passed on, I have satisfied my love for animals by caring for my kids' pets when they go on vacation. I've gone to their house and stayed, but also they have stayed in my home while mom and dad are away. We go for walks, and I have a fenced in yard and doggy door them to come and go as they please. Like my grandkids: I love having them and playing, but I also love the flexibility of sending them back to mom and dad! I am a retired teacher and am home most days. I have various errands during the day, or other things, but nothing that would interfere with visiting guests. I no longer have a dog of my own but our visiting fur babies ( and the grands) have a fenced yard with doggy door. Dogs are secure inside the back yard. I care for one dog, that loves the back yard and wants to stay out all day, weather permitting. He is safe and secure there with water and shade, and comes in when he is ready. But most of the dogs come inside. They are free to go out to play and do their business.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life, but about 5 years ago I officially started working in the pet care industry... and honestly, it’s been the best job ever. I absolutely love dogs of all ages, from wild little puppies with zoomies to sweet senior pups who just want cuddles and company. I truly believe pets are family (basically furry children), and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether your pet wants nonstop playtime, a walking buddy, couch snuggles, or just someone patient and loving while you’re away, I’m happy to be their temporary fun aunt 🐾 I decided to take a break from working full-time so I could go back to school and work part-time instead. Since I’ll be doing school from home with a flexible schedule, I’m available to spend as much time as needed with your baby! I own a home with about a 0.5 acre fenced in yard. I have a personal dog in my home, she is great at keeping company. If you would prefer your pup have crate time or sleep in a crate, just let me know! Otherwise, we are big fans of puppy cuddles and allow them on our furniture!
“Ella took amazing care of Muffin with so much love, attention, and responsibility. From the very beginning, it was clear how caring and dedicated she was. Muffin was happy, calm, and very well looked after the entire time. I highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with Muffin again! 🧁🐶💛”

“They were very friendly, communicative, and clearly love dogs. My pup felt comfortable with them right away, and they handled everything with care and attention. It was great knowing my dog was in such good hands”

“Lauren was great! She was communicative, on time, very sweet, and Panda took to her immediately. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her good hands. (And I am overprotective). She walked Panda and played with her, sending me pictures. I recommend Lauren!”

“Rachel is great with My dog! He warmed up to her and enjoys going on walks with her. Very grateful to Rachel for being able to have some free time to walk my dog through my neighborhood when I have a long days.”

About: I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether that’s an energetic puppy or a slower-paced senior. I’m experienced with administering medications, maintaining feeding routines, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. I prioritize a calm, structured environment so pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is my strong communication and organization—I keep owners updated with regular photos and notes, and I follow instructions closely. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and treat every pet like my own, making sure they get both the care and affection they’re used to at home. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because my I work from home, which allows for a flexible and consistent schedule. I am able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, feeding times, and plenty of attention throughout the day—not just mornings and evenings. I also have three active, hands-on kids who love animals, so your pet will get lots of interaction, playtime, and affection in a safe, supervised environment. Because I am home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone and are part of a structured household routine. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether your pet is in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. In my home, pets enjoy lots of supervised outdoor time in a large backyard, along with daily walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. I keep routines consistent with feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any specific instructions you provide to make the transition stress-free. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine and environment as closely as possible—feeding, walks, play, and companionship—while also keeping your home tidy and secure. I prioritize attention, safety, and communication so you feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I have been caring for animals since I was 15, providing reliable pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. I have experience with both dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, and providing attentive, loving care. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work full-time, but I am available after work on weekdays and throughout the weekends. I have a flexible schedule during those times and can provide consistent, attentive care to meet your pet’s needs. I genuinely enjoy helping pet owners, especially through drop-in visits while they are away on vacation or need an extra hand. I provide reliable, attentive care and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their own environment. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have been a pet sitter for years who specializes in dog care and training. I have a zoology degree from NCSU and 1.5 yrs experience as a kennel technician. During the school year I am a teacher so I am looking for income over the summer working remotely. Looking to supplement another part-time job. Currently I live in a townhouse with my dog 6 year old dog Mickey and 1 year old cat Guinness. Mickey is a 6yr old lab Dalmatian mix who is well trained and loves to play with other pups. I typically love setting up dog play dates and walks. Guinness is a spunky 1 year old black cat. Social, but does his own thing.
About: I work from home, which makes it easy for me to care for your pets and give them the attention they deserve. My work from home schedule also allows for me to have flexible availability for drop-ins and walks during the work day. I have one dog, Jippy, who is basically a goofy teddy bear. He spends a lot of time with other dogs and loves having fur friends around. I love animals and can promise yours will be in good hands with me. Feel free to send me a message with any questions! I currently work from home in a job that allows me flexibility. This allows me to provide care for your dog, whether in-home, or just a drop-in or walk. Whatever parameters are set for your pet will be followed. I have experience with dogs with many different personalities and needs and am happy to adapt as necessary to keep them comfortable.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fuquay-Varina
We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! They were patient, calm, and confident with our dog from the moment they met him. Rodger can be a handful at times, but they handled him so well and made him feel comfortable throughout the walk. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. We truly appreciate the love and attention they gave him and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!

Jennifer is a new walker for my girl, Chloe, and I’ll admit I’m always a little hesitant when someone new starts. Chloe is fun‑loving, energetic, and highly reactive, so finding the right fit matters. From the moment we met, I was impressed with Jennifer. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely interested in getting to know Chloe and what she needs. During their first walk, Chloe had such a great time that she came home and took a long, happy nap. Jennifer is definitely Chloe’s new dog walker, and I hope she’ll be with us for a very long time.

Elise is amazing per usual! Not only was she available last minute (I went into labor spontaneously) but she took our pup to the emergency vet because what seemed like a minor leg/muscle issue just the day before, had progressed into our pup not being mobile or being as engaged as usual. We are very thankful for Elise taking Mucca right away, and alerting us ASAP, while also being patient in our response time since I was in full blown labor! Thank you so much for being an all around amazing person and sitter. We truly appreciate you and will continue to use your services whenever we can. ❤️

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Fuquay-Varina. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

Every walker 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.

- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise

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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
