“Sarah took wonderful care of our girls! They were clearly well cared for and loved while we were out of town. Prompt communication, very reliable, and great care for our pups. Thank you Sarah!”
“Adreanna was great with my dog Zoey. Zo warmed up to her immediately when she met her, which is not the norm as she is usually a bit shy when meeting new people. Adreanna was awesome at communicating and always responds quickly. She is also really flexible with the check ins. I did not worry about a thing knowing she was checking on Zoey. Highly recommend her if you're needing someone to watch your pet!”
“Larz is the man! He was prompt with my last minute begging and pleading to walk my ol doggo and was totally up for the challenge, even after working all day. In just the 30 minute booking I got 4 pictures and a great summary report. Couldn't be more rest assured and happy to have gotten him as our sitter. Will for sure utilize his services in the future if he is willing!”
“I could not have asked for a sweeter, kinder companion for my dog. Courtney was thoughtful and caring. She kept this nervous pet parent updated and sent pictures to reassure me all was well. I needed an extra day and she stepped up to do it. I will hire her whenever the need arises and she is available.”
“Fantastic! Diana went above and beyond for us and took excellent care of our elderly cat. She was timely and responsive, and made us feel safe leaving our cat at home without us. Thanks!”
“Brianna was so nice and a FANTASTIC pet sitter. Always sent adorable photos of my pets and made sure they were happy and healthy. Messaged me if something seemed different allowing me to feel relaxed while away. My dog and cat were very happy spending time with her and I will be rebooking in the future :)”
“This was our first time booking Paige and she did amazing! Great communication and sent the cutest photos of our cats. We knew the girls were well loved and taken care of. We highly recommend her!”
About: I love animals and can connect with dogs and cats of different temperaments. My main experience is with cats: feeding, litter box care, socialization, and play. I also have practical dog experience walking dogs belonging to my sister and my friends and staying with them for some periods - no issues, the dogs were friendly and well-behaved. I am adaptable to various temperaments, closely follow owners’ instructions on routine and care, and prioritise safety and the pet’s well-being. I work only with healthy, routine animals and do not provide medical care. I’m available for cats and dogs care with flexible scheduling. I can do drop-in visits on weekdays and weekends, including mornings and evenings. I’m consistent with routines and can do 1–2 visits per day depending on your needs. I also accept occasional cat and dog boarding in my home when my schedule allows. Message me with your preferred times and your pet’s routine. I follow your instructions carefully for feeding, fresh water, walking, litter box care, and playtime. I’m calm with shy pets and respect their boundaries. I keep keys secure, double-check doors and windows, and send photo updates after each visit. For boarding, I provide a quiet, clean space with a dedicated litter area and regular updates to keep you informed.
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, snakes, and even a tarantula while growing up, but canine companionship has been a constant throughout my life. I have watched many pets for friends and family throughout high school, college, and into my adult years. I’ve used Rover and other sitters before and know what it’s like to search for the perfect person to entrust you fur-babies with. I’ve had both great and not-so-great experiences in the past with sitters watching my dog, which is why I decided to join Rover myself so I could give other pets and pet-parents the best experiences! I have one extremely friendly pup and I work from home with a lot of flexibility, so I am available for any and all of your pets needs and attention while they are with me. You can expect lots of pictures, videos, and lightning-fast replies! I work from home with a very flexible schedule that allows me to get up and take the dogs for a walk or play at anytime. I can accommodate any pet care routine needed. I have a fenced yard and a super friendly King Charles Cavalier boy, neutered. Pets are allowed on the couch and the bed in this home 😌
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 have been petsitting and dog walking my neighborhood pets for several years and had the privilege to work as a research technician who helped in husbandry at UNC Chapel Hills Division of Comparative Medicine canine unit. I love making new furry friends and gaining experience to help my pre-veterinary journey as a college student! I am available every day of the week starting June 30th seeing that i am home for the summer from college. I am available during the hours of 8am-8pm and am interested in house sitting. I have a fenced yard for my dog to keep them from getting out and my cat is an inside cat who stay in the upstairs bedrooms
About: Hello! I've always loved animals. I grew up with a cat and now have two cats of my own. I also used to have a dog who, unfortunately, passed away recently. I'm the type of person who gets excited whenever I see a pet on the street or in a window. I will care for your pet just as much as I do my own! I'm currently working full time, I'm available in the morning (before 9am) or after work (usually after 5.30pm). I'm more flexible during weekends and can always accommodate if needed I have a fenced balcony that is safe for my cats. They have a lot of toys, a water fountain, an automatic feeder, and a cat tree.
“Cannan was amazing, we had a literally last minute cancellation for an entire week of cat sitting over the holidays. She was super quick to respond to our booking request and hopped on a phone call since we were already out of state and couldn’t do a walk through. Our kitties warmed up to her and we are so happy she was able to take care of them. Would definitely book again!!”
About: I have been around dogs since childhood and know how to treat them with respect. I love animals and will treat your beloved pet as if they were my own! I recently quit my job and am available most days for overnight sitting or walks! I keep my calendar up to date, but I am also flexible, so feel free to reach out with any scheduling concerns. I live in an apartment so unfortunately I can not offer boarding in my home. However, I am experienced in overnight pet sitting and have been a regular dog walker in college.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Raleigh
Sarah was amazing with our four cats! She even caught that one of our automatic feeders had come unplugged and plugged it back in, as well as a wound on one of our cats’ tails. Her attention to detail was so helpful while we were gone for over a week. She was also super communicative and respectful of our home.
We’ve used her multiple times, and she’s always been amazing! She takes such great care of our cat and gives us complete peace of mind while we’re away. We always appreciate the regular updates and the adorable pictures she sends, which make us feel connected even from afar. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We highly recommend her and will definitely continue booking with her in the future!
We booked Rebekah for the second time for one of our vacations and she is great! She is a great communicator, very entertaining for the cats and also gave them such care and attention when she looked after them :) she is attentive to sharing updates and photos that give you peace of mind and we highly recommend!
Recently booked with Natalie while on vacation. She was great. She had great communication and updates throughout and I could tell she treated Rory like one of her own cats. It was nice to be relaxed knowing he was well cared for. Will definitely look to book with her again in the future!
Summer was such a wonderful pet sitter for my cat! They were prompt and helpful in their communication, and knew all of the questions to ask to make the experience as seamless as possible. I’ve been back for one day, and I think my cat misses them already! They provided thoughtful and helpful feedback with each visit, and the photos they sent made me feel like my cat was in good hands. I would highly recommended seeking out Summer for your pet care needs.
Mae was an amazing sitter! She was kind, communicative, and incredibly patient, my cat decided to cause some chaos while I was away, and she cleaned up without complaint. She also went above and beyond by handling a wrong address on my account with total understanding. Would absolutely book again!
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!
Courtney was great! She took great care of my cat and was flexible when I added additional visits to her schedule. She made sure to update me on when she was visiting and sent plenty of pet photos during her visits. Would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter!
Elias was an EXCEPTIONAL rover! He took care of all my cats and attended to all their needs. He made sure to update me on everything while I was on my trip and took very good care of my babies. Thanks to him I had zero worries while I was away and knew they were in the best hands possible. I will definitely be booking him again in the near future and could say I’m very content with his service. Thanks again!! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Raleigh on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,627 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Raleigh. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
