About: I am a professional pet sitter and dog walker who loves spending time with furry friends of all sizes. I've been doing this amazing work for the past 7 years. I am a fully remote worker with a highly flexible schedule and free weekends. Perfect for recreation, and perfect for my love of all furry creatures great and small. For drop-in visits, I care for pets in their own home to minimize stress and maintain familiar routines. I follow all provided instructions closely, ensure doors and gates are secured, and keep visits calm and focused. I am attentive to safety, cleanliness, and respectful use of your space. I will provide detailed updates with photos!
“I’m so grateful for Sarah! She took such great care of my very shy cat, and coaxed him to open up to her. I had some out-there instructions based on my trip and pet car situation, but she handled everything perfectly. Very communicative and so sweet!”
“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.”
“Rodrigo is a caring animal owner himself. He shows much love for all animals. Rodrigo is very reliable and trust worthy. He has come into our lives at the most needed time. We have already rebooked him! Our rescue baby girl loves him! She is an American pitbull terrier who doesn’t like all, but Rodrigo stole her heart!”
“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.”

Helena was wonderful while looking over my cat!!! I get really anxious being away from my little Walnut for extended periods of time, but Helena took tons and tons of photos and even stayed a little longer to give her some extra love. It was very reassuring knowing that Walnut was in good hands and getting loads of care & attention over the weekend. Thank you so much!!
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!
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.

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 .

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.

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.
