“Rissa was amazing with Zoey!! This was our first experience with leaving our 7 month old puppy and Rissa helped us feel comfortable leaving our precious baby girl. She loved on Zoey and kept us updated with pics while we were out!!! ☺️”
“Kristine was so great with my Charlie who was suffering from extreme separation anxiety and wouldn’t eat or walk outside. She actually figured out a way to get Charlie to eat and drink something by putting her bowls in my master bath next to my closet where Charlie seemed to want to be often. I so appreciate that she knew how to just let Charlie chill and kept her calm and comfortable during her stay.”
“Anthony stayed with our 2 dogs for a few weeks and did a great job. He was very responsive, attentive, and polite. He took good care of our home and frequently asked if we needed anything else to be done.”
“Chelsea took care of Charlie for a week, she sent multiple pics every day, took him outside for play and cuddled with him at night. House was clean and neat just as we left it. Our first booking with Rover and Chelsea but definitely not our last!”
“Thanks to Meaghan, I was completely comfortable leaving my cat and my house in her care while away. She's a very calming presence and quickly made friends with my cat, as well as giving her medicine and watering my plants. She had a family emergency that meant leaving for the weekend but let me know promptly so I could make other arrangements while she was away. I will definitely hire her again.”
“Vanessa consistently takes great care of our dogs. She puts a lot of care and effort into her work and that means when we go out of town, we aren't worried because we know they are in good hands. We've already got her booked for future trips.”
About: I had 3 family dogs growing up who were my best friends, there wasn’t a day that went by that we didn’t spend time together. When they became seniors, I gave them my full care and attention up until they passed. Caregiving still feels like it’s a part of me, and I just love the happiness and joy that dogs or any pets bring into this world! Having gone from full time care to having so much more time is a big shift for me, so I would greatly enjoy to continue to share the love and care I still have with your pets as well! I work part time and find myself having a lot of free time and I would love to be there with your pet! I will make sure to schedule feeding times or drop ins around my work hours, and on my off days I’m more than willing to spend lots of time with your pet! When caring for your pet I will make sure they feel comfortable and safe by following their usual routines, giving lots of love, and making sure their environment is clean and secure. I want to make your fur baby feel happy and well-cared for while you are away!
“Mike was a great sitter this past week! We have two dog and both did really well with him. My little dog is not to fond of other people and did really well with Mike. Look forward to book him again in the future.”
“Natallia was great with Duck! She was very communicative and made sure both Duck and I were comfortable when I had to leave! I will definitely work with Natallia in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Jennifer did a great job with our older pets. She asked questions when needed and kept us updated on how they were doing (including photos!). House looked great when we got back. Would definitely use her again.”
“Keara was responsive when I reached out. I do wish we had gotten more updates on our critters, but they were fed, watered, and let out on a regular schedule during her stay.”
“The sitter we had lined up ended up having to cancel last minute due a family emergency. We were very fortunate to find Lynnwood. She was great at communicating and we were able to meet her and hire her within a few days. Our dogs LOVED her. My female can be particular when meeting new people and she ran right to her . This was our first time using Rover and having an in home sitter. Lynnwood was great at keeping in touch and sending pictures. It definitely helped my momma heart rest easy knowing someone was taking good care of our babies . She left our home nice and clean and was very respectful. We will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Ella was very communicative during her stay at the house. She sent pictures multiple times a day and left the house in fantastic shape. It seemed like Tucker was in good hands during my trip. Would recommend.”
“Emily was super easy to work with. Accommodated a changing schedule. She picked up on all the pups quirks. We were happy to feel like she was reliable and we had nothing to worry about.”
“Second time using David and he was just as incredible as the first time! My A/C went out in a storm the day before David was set to house sit with my dogs for a few days so I reached out to give him a heads up and let me know if he would like to cancel. David assured me he would still be happy to watch my house and dogs, regardless of the fact it would be 90 some degrees with no A/C. He made us feel so at ease while we were out of town and kept us updated so well on how he and the dogs were handling the heat. He was incredibly kind and attentive throughout the whole stay. I received updates and the cutest pictures throughout the stay and it always looked like my dogs were very happy. So thankful for David and impressed as always. Can’t recommend him enough!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both a senior dog and a high-energy Golden Retriever puppy. This has taught me how to balance gentle, patient care with active play, training support, and consistent routines to meet each dog’s unique needs. I work from home so I’ll be home with the pups all day long! I’m able to take them out as needed throughout the day and can feed them or provide any other individual care they may need! My home is pet-safe with an indoor gate for added security, and I provide regular, supervised potty breaks to ensure pets stay comfortable, safe, and well cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fuquay-Varina
Vanessa was amazing with our dogs! She sent lots of pics and updates, which was nice. She is very conscientious, caring and friendly. The house was in order when we returned the next day, and she even left us a little gift and sweet note! I have already requested her for a five-day house-sitting in November, but she was already booked! I would definitely recommend her to friends and family. My dogs were happy and calmer than normal when we returned, and I didn’t have to worry about them or the house.
Absolutely wonderful! Erica did such a fantastic job with our cats. We were gone for a family reunion and were away for 12 days. She sent us photos and videos every day which gave us peace of mind knowing she was with our girls. She also took great care of the house as well. Very highly recommended!
Matt took great care of my two large dogs! He came to meet them prior to taking the booking so that we were both comfortable. He stayed at our house for a week and we had zero issues! He gave daily updates with pics of our dogs, which was very reassuring, and asked questions to be sure of our preferences. Upon return, our house was just as we left it and the dogs were safe and happy. I have recommended Matt’s services to a friend and will absolutely book him in the future!
Met Kaylee before the dog sitting. For her to meet the dogs. Kaylee was very good with meeting the dogs and understanding expectations. Kaylee is responsible. This young lady has good life experience. At first met with the dogs they settled right in with her. I’ll use her again.
Matthew did a fantastic job with Louie. He put in so much effort to build trust with our dog, followed every instruction with great attention to detail, and kept us updated throughout our trip. We also got amazing photos of our pup while we were away, which made us feel completely at ease. Truly a 10/10 experience, highly recommend!
Bryce was amazing! He was so nice and respectful when he came by to meet us and the dogs before we left, and he paid attention to every little detail we shared. He stayed overnight and sent updates and pictures from every walk, which was great. You can tell he truly cared for our pups and took great care of our home, everything was spotless when we got back. Highly recommend!!
Colleen housesat for us and was very communicative. She made our animals feel very loved and comfortable with her. She really paid attention to their needs and was respectful of our house guidelines… when we have a future need for a sitter or someone to do a drop in we will definitely be contacting Colleen again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fuquay-Varina
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fuquay-Varina on Rover is $52.17 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,047 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fuquay-Varina. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fuquay-Varina walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fuquay-Varina maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
