“Heather is such a great sitter, I always feel comfortable knowing my cat will be looked after by her. She always sends great updates and my cat adores her, which I love to see. I appreciate how well she communicates and she’s a joy to work with.”
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.
About: I’m a dependable, caring pet lover who treats every pet like they’re my own! I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra TLC. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, so my goal is to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also happy to keep you in the loop with plenty of updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind! Pets of All Ages – Comfortable caring for puppies, kittens, adult pets, and seniors, and happy to adjust to each pet’s individual personality, energy level, and routine.

Medication Management – Comfortable administering medications and keeping up with consistent dosing schedules and instructions. Communication & Updates – I know how much you want to know that your fur babies are doing well while you’re away! I provide regular updates, photos, and anything else that helps you feel connected and reassured. 🐾📸 Most importantly, I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 💕 I currently work a full-time hybrid schedule, which gives me a lot of flexibility to accommodate my clients’ needs. My work-from-home days can be adjusted when needed, allowing me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and extra attention throughout the day. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works well for both you and your pet! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority.

I’m attentive to the little details—from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and their usual habits—and I’ll make sure they receive the same love, patience, and care they would get at home.
“Alexis was wonderful! She was flexible and able to accommodate a last-minute booking, while keeping me updated with great communication throughout. She took plenty of adorable photos of my cat, Wednesday, who requires lots of attention and cuddles—and in nearly every photo, Wednesday was happily curled up on her. 💕”
About: I have been a pet sitter since I was 13 years old and then started working at an animal shelter in high school and loved it. I have experience with medication administration(including asthma treatments), reactive dogs, and dog training. I’m currently working full time as an EMT so I am available on my days off as well as after 7 pm when I get off work. I have two black cats at home named Jinx and Milo. I will make sure to take care of food, water, medication, and any other tasks needed to keep your babies happy. I also don’t mind grabbing the mail or taking in the trash.
“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!”
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.
“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.”
“Lauren is an amazing pet sitter. My daughters and I could immediately see that she is an animal person on the meet and greet. Our German shepherd that is picky about meeting new people loved her immediately. She will be our first pet sitter choice in the future.”
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!

I will provide exceptional care including walks, feedings, play time, and potty breaks. I’m a college volleyball player in Connecticut.

I will make sure you get the best pet care and all your animals needs are taken care of.
“Claire is awesome! Had her watch my little fellas for three days and her attentiveness and care is truly second to none. She was very communicative and friendly and it seems like the boys really like her! Thank you thank you!!”
“Chantel looked after my 2-month old kitten and did an amazing job. She kept him company, played with him, introduced him to her dog and guinea pigs, and moved at his pace. Her experience with kittens, who often have a lot of energy, was important to me, as they are prime to learn and pickup any behavior. The fact that my kitten came back more loving and cuddley assures me he was in great hands. Would highly recommend Chantel to cat owners!”
“Olivia took amazing care of my two cats. I booked with her twice and she was extremely flexible and saved me in watching my cats last minute. My cats absolutely love her. Both of my cats need medicine and she did a great job giving Mr. White his inhaler and Romeo his pill each day. Highly recommend Olivia and will be using her in the future.”
“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!”

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!
Peyton is amazing with our cat Oreo. She is a very anxious cat so seeing pictures and videos of her being comfortable always makes my day. This time around my flight on my way back was cancelled and Peyton on such short notice was willing to help even though I didn’t have him booked to see her. That sums up how empathetic he is!

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.

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.
