“Carolyn did a wonderful job checking in on my dog while I was away. She made sure she had food and fresh water, let her out, spent time with her, and sent updates and photos that gave me real peace of mind. It was reassuring to know my dog was being cared for and getting some extra attention while I was gone. I would absolutely recommend her and would gladly use her services again!”
“Valari did an excellent job with my pups while we were away. She was punctual, communicative, sent pics and was professional. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Anna was awesome during her check ins with my girls! She accepted us last minute, was always on time, stayed the entire duration, gave lots of loves and made sure they were taken care of. Will absolutely use her again in the future.”
“Kelly goes above and beyond for our dogs and we're so glad to have found her! We hate traveling without our senior dogs but when we must, it's a relief to know they're in good hands. Kelly is attentive, communicative, and spends time making sure walks are long enough, meds are swallowed, and bellies are full. One of our dogs had some accidents and Kelly cleaned up thoroughly even though I said not to worry too much about it. When they ran out of carrots, she brought more! We were amazed. Best sitter around.”
“Ella was absolutely AMAZING! I was nervous leaving my cats for a week but she made sure they were well cared for while we were away. Loved the daily notes and photos. Would 12 out of 10 recommend Ella if you are looking for a pet sitter in the area!”
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: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the level of attention and genuine care I give to each pet. I treat every animal as if they were my own, taking time to understand their personality, routines, and needs. I’m reliable, communicative, and make sure owners always feel at ease with updates and photos while they’re away. Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine. I schedule feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins around my other commitments so that every pet gets consistent attention and care. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening visits, I plan ahead to make sure each pet’s routine stays as normal and stress-free as possible. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. In my home, I create a calm, safe space where they can relax, play, and feel loved. I respect their routines and surroundings so they feel secure. I always make sure they get plenty of affection, exercise, and one-on-one time — just like they would with their owner.
“Dylan was absolutely incredible and made my mind at peace knowing my Kobi was well taken of during my unexpected departure. He took pictures and provided daily updates which made me smile. I would book again in heartbeat! 💓”
“Alicia has checked in on our dog and cat multiple times now. She is super reliable and does a fantastic job with our pets. It's a relief having a pet sitter you trust. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer was great with our babies and our home!! I had wonderful honeymoon because we booked Jennifer to take care of Jack and Riley! They enjoyed playing and seeing Jennifer and we will be rebooking for sure!! She’s so thoughtful and kind!!”
“We are so grateful for the incredible care our girl Oakley received from Lauren! She got plenty of walks, lots of time outside in the sunshine, and all the love and attention she could want. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We would absolutely book Lauren again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for around 30 years. I have both fostered and owned animals as well as watched other. I have owned my dog since she was a puppy, so I have experience with younger dogs. I have helped family friends with their older dogs who need help moving around and cannot stay home alone. I have also long term fostered a special needs dog. I am an empty nester and when my children moved out they took their pets. I’ll be able to devote my time and attention to your pets as you need me to. During my previous time pet sitting I have stayed at the owner’s home as well as done 2-3 times a day check ins. When doing these I play by house rules. Crating a dog is not a problem as that is what I do with my own. I have pet sat for people who do and do not crate their animals.
“I couldn't have done it without Caitlyn's help. I've booked her services twice and will continue to do so. She was very flexible with both her and my schedule, accommodating my needs, and accepting my request on very short notice, which I greatly appreciated. Caitlyn also brought in all my packages and took excellent care of my cat, Ralph, while I was out of town. I highly recommend her!”
“Our dog absolutely loved Rachel. She showed up, walked her, loved on her and sent us tons of photos and updates everyday. Rachel was very trustworthy, i would absolutely recommend her to anyone. Thank you Rachel!”
“Amber was great and available to check in on my 3 cats while we were out of town. She offered to bring her kids over to play with the cats and knowing how much energy they have we accepted. The cats had a lot of fun and loved having someone play with them.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fuquay-Varina
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!
Carolyn did a wonderful job checking in on my dog while I was away. She made sure she had food and fresh water, let her out, spent time with her, and sent updates and photos that gave me real peace of mind. It was reassuring to know my dog was being cared for and getting some extra attention while I was gone. I would absolutely recommend her and would gladly use her services again!
My wife and I were amazed of the quality care John gave our cat Buki. I believe she was definitely given a very posh time in those short three days, and would truly recommend his drop ins again for she was very delighted that he spent that time with her. John was punctually on time, professional and caring of our fur baby. He left our place clean and spotless as well. A true gentleman indeed!
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!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! we loved working with erica! we will be using her for every pet sitting need. she went above and beyond for us this holiday and we are so grateful. she sent so many pictures daily of my babies and updated me on how they were doing. she gave great detail every check in on what they were doing and how they played etc. she truly loved on my babies and it made me feel so much better knowing they were getting all the loves while i was away from them!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fuquay-Varina stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
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 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.
