“Sophia was awesome with my four little guinea pigs! She took great care of them and made sure they had everything they needed. They warmed up to her quick, which they don’t normally do, and started talking to her and walking around. I knew they were in good hands.”
About: I’m a Junior at NCSU in the Pre-Vet program! I am a certified vet assistant, worked as a kennel attendant, and I volunteer with a local cat rescue often. I have experience with aggressive, disabled, and high energy animals, as well as all types of species! I can’t wait to meet your pet and give them the best care! I am currently taking classes but I am flexible in the mornings and evenings to take care of your pet! I am often free and have a flexible schedule on weekends. I will walk dogs with awareness and attentiveness of your pet, and during house visits I will make sure your pet is comfortable, happy, and healthy! I will make sure your pet is active and playing, and I don't mind attending to other requests while you're away.
“Isabel did a fantastic job with my cat! She did everything that I asked her to do and more, and I know that Venus thoroughly enjoyed her time with Isabel. I cannot recommend her enough. She is responsible, thoughtful, caring, kind, and communicative, everything that I look for in a pet sitter. An easy 5 stars, and I would highly recommend Isabel for your pets!”
“Alexis was great with our cats. She made sure our cat that has special feeding instructions was taken care of. It gave us peace of mind knowing they had everything they needed while we were away on vacation.”
“Erica was wonderful! She was very kind, reliable, and took great care of my cat while I was away. I really appreciated her updates and the peace of mind she provided throughout the stay. It was clear that she genuinely cared, and I would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica was a gem! She was so attentive and responsive to my cats and kept in consistent communication with me while I was away. I highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again!”
About: I’ve been around and cared for dogs for years, including my own two dogs with very different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with puppies, larger dogs, feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and giving lots of attention and affection. As a teacher, I’m patient, dependable, organized, and used to following routines and specific instructions. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, so I’ll always treat them like they’re my own and keep you updated while they’re with me! During the school year, I work as a teacher, so I’m primarily available in the afternoons, evenings, weekends, and on school breaks. I’m happy to work pet care into my routine for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. My schedule can vary, so I’m always happy to communicate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure I can meet their pet’s needs. I have two friendly dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe and comfortable while you’re away. My apartment community has a dog park for convenient outdoor and play time, and with owner permission, I also enjoy taking dogs to larger parks like Dorothea Dix and Lake Benson. I always follow each pet’s normal routine, personality, and comfort level. During boarding, your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love, along with pictures and updates throughout their stay!
About: I’m my family’s go-to dog sitter and have been caring for pets since I was 16 — so just over 10 years now! Whether you need drop-ins or house sitting, I’m happy to help with either. I love all dogs, big or small, and I’m equally comfortable taking care of cats too :) I’m a friendly, full-time paralegal in Raleigh with a super flexible WFH setup. I am totally free on weekends, I’d love to house-sit for you keeping everything spotless, your pets happy, and your home safe. I’ll stick to all your instructions for your pet and home—doors always locked, and be sure that any little accidents are cleaned up fast.
“Xeque, was a fantastic sitter for my two outdoor cats. She communicated thoroughly and was flexible with last minute changes. Thank you so much for accommodating my kitties need!”
“amanda was amazing! she was great at communicating every day and seemed to put in extra work to make sure my shy kitty was comfortable and entertained. Will absolutely be booking her again and you should too!”
About: WALKING & DROP-INS ONLY I strive to give my pet parents the best photos of their babies! Check out my photos to see some of the results! 🫶🏻 I have experience with amputees, post-op, dogs with anxiety, puppies, and senior dogs (my 16 year old tripawd chihuahua passed away recently 💔). I have experience administering medication, feeding hard and soft food (refrigerated, heated up or at room temperature), managing a post-surgery cone, suture observation, providing assistance navigating the home, and easing fears when they arise. I have experience taking care of Dachshunds, English Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Great Danes, Huskies, Labs, Golden Retrievers, Yorkies, Spaniels, Mixed Breed dogs in a variety of sizes, and cats. I’m available ☔️ or ☀️ maybe even ❄️ but not 🌪️. Although I’m no longer boarding, I predominantly work from home so Rover fits well into my schedule. I’m unavailable on Monday and Tuesdays but am flexible on other days. I would care for anyone’s pet the same way I would care for my own, with the most love, care, and respect for the animal as possible. If I’m in the client’s home, I would follow the client’s instructions on how to best serve the animal while I’m there.
“Kelly was fantastic with communication both before and during her drop-in visits with our cat, Billie Jean. Our cat is on the older side and has some medical issues, and Kelly did an amazing job administering her medication and making sure our cat was taken care of. Would highly recommend Kelly, and will definitely book with her again!”
“I had two cats cat-sit at their place. You can tell they really loved spending time with my animals. One cat has diabetes and started having issues (to no fault of theirs) and they rushed him to the vet and communicated right away. You can tell they really care for them.”
“Louis was a lifesaver. I requested 3 last minute drop in visits. He came to my house to meet me and my dogs on the same day as the request, right before I left town. He was very attentive, asked me important questions that I hadn't even thought of, and made me feel completely at ease. He showed up for his visits right on time, like literally right on the hour, every time, stayed the entire 30 minutes, and followed all of my instructions. I could not have asked for a better sitter. I would not hesitate to book him again in the future.”
About: I have had and cared for animals my entire life ranging from furry to scaly! I have a relaxed schedule most days which allow me to be able to spend quality time with your little ones! I have potty trained all of my dogs and love puppies! I also have a soft spot for senior dogs and have experience administering medicine if needed. I can’t wait to meet your littles ones! I am currently working part time and am extremely flexible for care. I love long walks myself and always enjoy a companion to accompany me on a nice day outside. Depending on location and temperament, I’m also up for dog parks! I have plenty experience caring for my two dogs and two cats along with watching over many animals in my past. I have experience in the food industry and understand the importance of food restrictions and feeding routines. I personally crate my dogs and I have plenty of experience creating a safe and comforting environment. If you have any special requests or requirements, I am accommodating!
“Kyla took excellent care of my cats, she sent lots of pictures and accommodated my request for feeding updates. She clearly cares a lot, and that provides peace of mind.”
About: Hi! I’m Madison, a lifelong dog owner and proud cat mom to two kitties, so I understand pets of all kinds (and their quirks). I share my home with my own dog and two cats, so your pet can have friendly animal companionship if that’s a good fit, or my full attention if not. I’m highly detail-oriented, so I take feeding schedules, medication, leash habits, and little personality quirks seriously. I’ll follow your routine exactly and send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is well cared for. I offer boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, and doggy day care, so whatever you need, I’m happy to help. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and there’s nothing I love more than spending my days with them. Looking forward to meeting your pet! I’m a classroom teacher, so I’m typically free for drop-ins, walks, and boarding on evenings, weekends, and school breaks. My schedule is consistent and predictable, so you can count on reliable, on-time care every single visit. I’m highly detail-oriented and treat every pet like my own. In my home, your dog or cat will get a calm, attentive environment alongside my own dog and two cats. I follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions exactly as given, and I’m happy to crate or separate animals if needed for everyone’s comfort.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since middle school, but also am happy to help with pet related clean up such as washing bowls, vacuuming, deep cleaning litter boxes, and nail care! I work full time but am available on weekends or for evening care. Feel free to reach out if you have particular time needs and I will accommodate as much as I can! I can stay in your home depending on area/safety. I can also have small-medium size animals in my home. If not staying full time I have availability for frequent visits.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Raleigh
Heather is terrific. She spends quality time with our cat, making sure she has plenty of food, treats water and a clean litter box while we are traveling. She goes above and beyond her Rover duties, contacting us if something doesn’t look quite right around the house or neighborhood. I trust her implicitly in my home and with my cat!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Raleigh is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 854 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Raleigh. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Raleigh. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% can help with daily exercise
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.
