About: Loving Pet Care in Garner Hi I’m Wes! I absolutely love animals, and I would be thrilled to welcome your pet into my home. For 16 years, we shared our lives with our beloved dog (Ashley) before she passed away. I miss the energy of having a pet around, and while i am currently in a transition phase before getting another dog of our own, caring for your furry family member brings that joy right back into my household. I have a large fenced yard in a quiet, pet friendly, neighborhood. I work a flexible schedule, and I have a wife along with two responsible teenagers (ages 15 and 17) at home who share our deep love for pets (I however will be the sole caregiver for your pet). Your pet will never feel lonely here. I treat every guest exactly like a member of my own family, ensuring they stay active, safe, and thoroughly loved while you are away. I am new to the site so offering discounted rates for the first few bookings. God Bless you and looking forward to welcoming your family member!! My lifestyle allows me to offer incredible flexibility and consistent companionship for your pet. I manage a highly adaptable schedule, and with two responsible teenagers at home, our household is rarely empty. Your dog will enjoy regular potty breaks, active play, and a consistent routine throughout the day. Because i love to travel myself, my calendar is always kept strictly up to date. As long as my calendar shows I am open, i will be completely dedicated to caring for your pet! Our Safety, Trust, and Environment Promise Your pet's safety, comfort, and peace of mind are my absolute highest priority. When your dog stays with me, they are treated like a cherished member of my family, with multiple layers of safety built into our daily routine. The Environment: * **Quiet, Low-Traffic Neighborhood:** Located in a peaceful Garner community, our home offers a fenced in yard while providing a calm backdrop free from heavy traffic noise, making neighborhood walks highly predictable and safe. * **Spacious & Cage-Free:** Dogs have full access to our comfortable living spaces for lounging and playing. * **100% Territorial-Free Zone:** Because we currently do not own any resident pets, your dog will face zero social or territorial stress from other animals. Our Safety Protocol: * **Always Supervised:** With a flexible adult schedule and two helpful teenagers (ages 15 and 17) at home, your pet will enjoy near-constant supervision and companionship. * **Strict Open-Door Policy:** I do not allow outside doors to be opened without checking the pet's location first, and I utilize a double-check system when leaving or entering the home. * **Custom Routine Matching:** I strictly mirror your home feeding, medication, and bathroom schedules to ensure a seamless transition and minimize any separation anxiety.
“Jordan was so great with my cat, he's very helpful and brought packages in for me, my garbage can and came daily as scheduled. He asked great questions, communicated very well and kept food and h20 full. Thanks so much Jordan!”
“This is our second time having Mattea watch our animals, but this was our first time just doing drop-in visits for just our cat, Narri. She was just as communicative, provided lots of pictures, and was so caring to Narri.”
“Kaelyn is amazing! She's very detailed with her updates and went out of her way to make sure our cat felt happy and comfortable with her. We will be using Kaelyn again!”
“Julia was great with our kitties! we had something come up last minute and she went above and beyond to make sure our boys were looked after and loved. I would 100% recommend her, especially if your babies need medicines or a little extra care”
“Nishka was very attentive to my cat and they both seemed to really enjoy their time together. My cat did not seem at all stressed when I got back home after 5 days away. The litter was scooped and all the daily cat dishes were clean. She followed all my instructions and I will book her again 100%.”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 14 years old! I have experience with pets of all ages (from month old puppies to elderly pets). I started out my pet care with multi-day full time stays and have performed week-long stays before with pets. I enjoy working with pets of all sizes, small all the way to extra large. I am an NC State student so my weeks are quite packed. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I am free before 11:15am and after 5:15pm for visits/walks. I am unavailable at on Tuesdays and on Thursdays I am only available to pet sit if the sitting starts after 6:30-7:00pm as I work til 5:00pm and you are okay with my Friday schedule. On Fridays, I am free after 5:00pm for visits/walks. I do not work or have school on the weekends so I am completely free 6:30am-8:30pm for walks/visits. I am free to pet sit on the weekends given I do not have something scheduled (in which case my calendar would reflect my unavailability). While I do not do housing of any kind, I have experience staying full time in another’s house while they are away. I can feed and walk anyone’s pets the way they instruct and will provide any form of check-in needed for the owner to be comfortable (pictures, videos, extensive verbal updates, calls, etc.).
“Lauren took such great care of my two cats while I was away! She took the time to clean their litter boxes, feed them and even got playtime in during her visits. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have been taking care of pets my whole life. I have always have a love for all animals especially dogs and cats. I can’t wait to show you that your babies will be in great hands with me. I’m currently working full time, but I don’t start work until 12pm so I will have plenty of time in the morning to play and tend to your babies and I am off at 830 pm, so can always go back end of day to check on them again if need be! I will take the instructions of what you would like in your home and what your babies are most comfortable with, to try not to switch up their routines much.
About: I have worked in a small animal vet clinic and am very good at walking, bathing, feeding and loving on dogs. I want to love your babies. I just graduated from NC State in May and work full time as a research tech. I love doing overnight pet sitting as I can’t have a pet where I currently live. I can not care for pets at my apartment but I can care for them at your home. I would take them on walks and play with them in your yard.
About: I’ve been a lover of pets since I was a child and do my very best to give any and all of them as much love and care as possible. I’ve almost always had an animal in the house since I can remember and they’ve all been special to me in their own ways. While I am new to animal care as something other than just caring for my own furry (and fishy) friends, I do have experience from helping care for strays in my neighborhood, cat sitting for a friend and walking my neighbors dog. I strive to treat any and all animals as I would my own, with gentleness and respect. I am currently enrolled in community college which only demands for me to make time on Mondays in the morning for class. Other than that, my weeks look pretty open. I am flexible with scheduling and will communicate and be very upfront about any conflicts or if a job simply doesn’t fit into whatever plans I might already have. When taking care of another’s pets I will be as respectful as I can of the environment while staying attentive to the animal the full time. I will follow whatever instructions are set and be aware to any behavioral notes or boundaries a pet may have that I am warned about. I will engage the animal as much as possible, wanting to give them enough love and entertainment within the duration I have with them. I might even bring over a toy or treat if permitted.
About: Hi! I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and look forward to treating your four-legged family members like my own. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and feline friends. I have experience administering insulin shots and other medications. I look forward to meeting your four-legged family members! By profession, I do lights for concerts! But when I’m not on the road I love to spend time with animals. I am able to easily adapt to any schedule as I pet sit on my downtime from work. I care for every pet with love and attention to their individual needs. I follow their usual routines for feeding, playtime, walks, medication if needed, and plenty of affection. I also make sure their space stays clean, safe, and comfortable so they feel happy and cared for.
About: I have over 6 years of pet sitting experience and am preparing to attend veterinary school. I’ve cared for pets of different ages, personalities, and routines, including senior pets and administering medications when needed. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their routine as normal as possible. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I intentionally keep my schedule flexible for clients. I plan my days around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine. I enjoy spending quality time with pets and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible to reduce stress. I follow feeding instructions carefully, monitor behavior, provide exercise and attention, administer medications when needed, and maintain a clean environment. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe and well cared for.
About: I grew up around animals and have a love of learning each pets personality and care needs. I have pet sit for many friends, neighbors, coworkers. I have experience ranging from cats and dogs to reptiles, amphibians and rabbits. Ask me about a discount! I am currently working as a behavioral therapist and college student with flexibility in my schedule. I am home mornings and evenings with the occasional ability to accommodate a mid-day drop in. I enjoy walking, running, hiking and being outdoors. I can do stop by feed, and socialize pet care as well as in home care of your animal family members. I offer boarding for cats and any other caged animals. I am available to stay at your home or to come by for a period of time to do any care tasks and enrichment before returning home. I am available for walking dogs, cats and anything leash trained.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, my family cared for dogs, cats, and chickens, many of them rescues. Over the years, I've gained experience caring for animals with a variety of personalities, ages, and care needs. I also have experience with pet sitting, dog walking, house sitting, and assisting with Rover clients. Spending time with animals is something I've always genuinely enjoyed, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality. When you trust me with your pet, I will care for them as if they were my own. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day and overnight. Whether your pet wants to play, go for walks, get extra cuddles, or just have someone nearby, I'm happy to give them the attention they deserve. Since I mostly provide care in my clients' homes, I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine, so they feel comfortable while you're away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, sleeping arrangements, and any other specific needs your pet may have. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big responsibility. I will treat your home with respect and keep it clean.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Garner is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $38 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
