“Rodrigo was able to come do a drop-in for me very last-minute. He was very responsive, prompt, and punctual and I really appreciated his help! My dogs were happy upon my return and it was such a relief. Would definitely hire again.”
“Zoe checked in on our dog, Poppy over the weekend and took her on walks. She was prompt and communicative before and during the time. Will hope to use her again in the future!”
About: Hi, I’m Essence and I love dogs of all ages and sizes and have cared for my friends and family’s pets throughout the years. I’ve also had many of my own pets, but don’t have any right now. I anticipate each pets needs and give them their desired amount of attention, care, and cuddles! I love going on trail walks or walk around the neighborhood so if you have an active dog, we can do that together! If your dog is more laid back and likes to hang out indoors, we can do that too! I work from home so I’m free to care for pets throughout the day and have time to provide excellent care for your pet. I also go for walks each morning that a pet could easily join in on. I don’t have any pets off my own, but that’s just more attention I can provide for your pets! I’m willing to give your pet the care and attention they need.
“Isabel continues to exceed my expectations with how responsible, caring, and communicative she is. Her genuine enjoyment of my cats and the time she spends playing with them is fantastic for their mental and emotional well-being, which is obvious when I return and they are in such good spirits. She is extremely respectful of my space, responsible, and a fantastic communicator. An easy 5/5 for me.”
“Im usually wary of new people watching my zoo -but Sarah was great from first min I met her. She was interested and greeted my pups. She followed all my instructions, and I got an update immediately after she left. I felt very confident that she would take care of them and I was right. Everyone was happy and content when I arrived home. I would definitely ask Sarah to watch them again!”
“I could not be happier with Alexis. Excellent communication and professionalism. My Bliss was well taken care of when I returned home. I highly recommend Alexis I hope she is available for my next trip.”
“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!”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 16 years old. I volunteer regularly at the ASPCA where I am certified. I also pet sit for friends and family. I grew up with large dogs and I’m accustomed to working with small and large animals. I have a full-time job with a half-day on Fridays so I am open to working anytime during the weekend. I can do early morning shifts in late nights and come over at all hours. I have a play area at my apartment complex and a lot of sidewalks near me to keep your pet safe on a walk. I’m comfortable with all crates and feeding schedules, etc. as well as multiple pets in the home.
“Responsive and responsible as always, and has really done more than anyone else - even my parents! - to earn our very shy girl's trust and friendship. We couldn't be happier!”
“Harlow and Panko had such a great time with Nathan! He was communicative and went out of his way to make sure our boys felt loved while we were gone. We will definitely have him watch them again in the future!!”
“Fabulous! Gus was so comfortable with Jessica from the start. Our neighbors even commented on how much Gus enjoyed his walks with her. I have already recommended her to friends.”
About: I have taken care of horses, dogs, cats, cows, and more since I was about 5 years old. I have raised kittens from bottle feeding to taking care of sickly/elderly dogs/cats. I am very comfortable and confident in my pet care. I work from home full-time and am in full-time online masters program. I am able to provide your pet with ample attention, compassion, and care. I prefer to take care of pets in the clients home as my roommate has another dog. I am very clean, organized, and respectful to your home and love taking care of plants as well!
About: I have taken care of the family cat for 8 years, as well as embracing being a cat mom to 3 and welcoming all animals in my life. Although my strongest suit has always been cats, I have walked and fed, and even in some cases, tended to sick dogs throughout my life. After all, for 6 years I had wanted to become a veterinarian for a reason. I will always be a dog person and cat person, instead of rather just choosing one side of the debate. In the coming months, I will also become a dog mom as well! If paying through Rover is also an issue, I have Venmo, PayPal and Zelle if that would provide an easier process for my customers. I work as a freelancer photographer and model. My shifts usually are quite flexible and I would let you know ahead of time if I am available or not due to a potential wedding (I do wedding photography). I tend to my own pet’s needs comfortably while working from home so the more pets around, it honestly is a breeze. Having weekends off, I open the doors for anyone especially needing a house sitter. I am willing to move things around to be more compatible with your schedule. I have dealt with mostly indoor cats, yet it is important to point out that I have been recently training my own cat in outdoor exposure. With dogs, I will gladly take them on outdoor walks or if they prefer playtime indoors, I would happily cheer them up. I have helped care for a special needs dog while being with my partner so I know how to handle all walks of life.
About: I worked at a vet hospital and had the opportunity to be around, care for, and play with lots of different dogs and cats. I would administer medicine, clean areas for animals so they are safe, make them the most comfy, walk the dogs, clean litter boxes, even throw in a few treats when possible. I am currently a full time college student. I’m working on my bachelors in animal science. I’m able to have a wide variety of availability. I will make sure bowls are clean, food properly measured or full, water refreshed with every visit, tummies are full, and hearts are the happiest they can be. Every animal is always treated as if it were my own. Each animal deserves only the best of care.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Raleigh
Ella was absolutely amazing with Adele! She was very caring, responsible, and attentive, and I felt completely comfortable knowing Adele was in such good hands while I was away. She kept me updated, sent photos, and even helped with little things around the house when needed. Adele clearly felt comfortable with her, which means so much to me. I would absolutely trust Ella to take care of her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter. Thank you so much, Ella! ❤️
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!
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!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Raleigh on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,667 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

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.
