“Christine went above and beyond for our babies while we were away for 10 days. We were so nervous to leave them but she put us at ease from the moment she met them and us. Throughout our trip she sent daily updates with so many great photos. We could tell the dogs absolutely loved her and may have been having even more fun with her around! She was so attentive to every detail and even left the dogs treats with a sweet note welcoming us home. We will definitely be using Christine for pet care again in the future, our dogs will be so happy to see her again when the opportunity presents itself!”
“Rissa was great with our pup Charlie. He is normally shy but warmed up quickly to her! She has excellent communication skills and so the updates were spot on. It really made us comfortable while we were away knowing Charlie was being well cared for by Rissa with snuggles, nice walks, and playtime. 😊 We would definitely have her again and recommend her care.”
“Phinette is an AMAZING sitter! She went above and beyond taking care of our dog and house. She kept us updated throughout her stay and sent us lots of pictures of our pup! We will 100% be booking Phinette again!!”
“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.”
“Hi Anthony, even in your own health emergency, you still managed to care for Sansa. Bailey was an excellent emergency fill in. I hope you are on the mend soon. Again, your ability to work to ensure Sansa was well cared for means the world to us. We look forward to working with you again.”
“Dean did an amazing job with our girl over the 4th of July weekend. We reached out to him shortly before our trip and he was able to not only accommodate our requests, but surpass what we expected. He comforted our girls during fireworks, loved on them for many hours each day, and made sure they were safe and happy! Would highly recommend Dean & his services.”
“We had Mike house sit our dog, Luna, while we were on a 5 day trip and he did great! He sent us updates and was very respectful of our home. Our dog seemed happy when we got home, would recommend him!”
“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.”
“Courtney provided outstanding care for our puppies! We had a last minute weekend getaway and she couldn't have been nicer and more professional. We highly recommend her and look forward to booking future appointments. Thank you Courtney!!”
About: We are the perfect place for your high energy pooch! We have frequently watched dogs for our friends and family for years. My 4 children love to play with them, care for them, and love them while their families are away. We are well versed on dogs medium through large. My dog may be to hyper with small dogs. We do not have a cat. I work from home so I'm available for your dog. We are here most holidays and weekends unless traveling ourselves. We are flexible to work with your schedule. We are a family of 6. We have a fenced in backyard, and a dog of our own, Axel. He is a large dog, and plays like a puppy. We love animals, and currently have chickens, fish, and a guinea pig.
“Vanessa provided such good care of our 2 dogs while we were away. I may have bombarded her with tons of notes on our routine and where things were and she took it all with great stride. She sent a lot of pictures and touched base as needed so I had no worries at all. Vanessa is very sweet and easy to work with and you will have no worries after you see her meet your dogs. My normally barky lady was totally mesmerized.”
“Daniel did a great job with our two boys. We have one who requires a lot of work because he is anxious, and the worst he did was eat a couple of paper napkins, which is a minor miracle. We really appreciated Daniel's dedication to them, and we would definitely hire him again.”
“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!”
“We came back to a lovely, well taken care of home and happy dog. We seriously cannot thank Charlotte enough for the job she did. It’s nice to know that we can plan trips together out of town and not have to worry so much about Natty. Charlotte will definitely be the first person we contact for any future house/dog sitting needs!”
About: I am a private chef who spends most of the day baking, cooking, and playing with my Morkie, Brownie, and sweetie Black cat, Meryl. Brownie is small and friendly and gets along with all dogs. He has a bubbly personality, just like me! Meryl is an elder cat that prefers a sunlit window to a human but is very kind to humans and other pet visitors! I have experience with small puppies, large dogs, and cats of different breeds. I used to volunteer my time at shelters and rehoming spaces. I am home often enough to give love, attention, and potty breaks! I would love to spend time with your pet and help them feel more at ease while you're away. Available for walks and at-home check-ins! I work from home on my own schedule since I facilitate culinary spaces and non-profits. I can be flexible with different timing needs to support care! I have pet beds, feeding dispensers, filtered water fountains, and plenty of toys! I like to keep the home at a more room-temperature so pets (and myself!) can stay comfortable. In your house, I follow instructions and ask questions before I begin to care. I prefer to stay only in approved spaces in the home and know where all the needed materials are provided.
“Cassidy took wonderful care of my dog, Luna, while I was away for over seven days. She sent plenty of updates throughout the week to let me know how things were going. I could tell right away that Luna was very comfortable with Cassidy and that made my trip even more relaxing.”
About: Hey yall! What sets me apart from other pet sitters is how much I genuinely care about each pet I look after. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take the time to learn their personality, routine, and individual needs. I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable, cared for, and at ease while they’re apart. 🐾 I’m currently in cosmetology school, but from friday to sunday, I am all yours! When you want to go on a weekend trip, i’m your girl! When i’m in your home, I stick to the animals schedule! I want them to feel like i’m a friend not someone trying to disrupt their routine! I can always meet you (the owners) and the animal before hand as well!
“Our dog loves Amanda because she spoils him. :) We love her because she spoils him too! Always shares lots of photos and makes us feel at ease knowing she is in charge.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fuquay-Varina
Mike was wonderful with Oscar and Ava and took great care of them while I was away. He was reliable, communicative, and followed their routine and instructions carefully, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs and my home just as I left it. I would absolutely trust Mike with them again and highly recommend him!
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!
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!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fuquay-Varina
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fuquay-Varina on Rover is $53.28 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,058 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.
