“Courtney was amazing. Always keeping us updated with pictures, taking time with biscuit, and sending detailed notes! Biscuit throughly enjoyed his time with her and we will definitely use her again. Highly recommend ♥️”
“Rachel was a great drop in visitor for our dog. She was always on time and made sure our dog was comfortable with her. Rachel kept us informed of every visit and provided prompt updates with each visit. We would recommend Rachel for your dog sitting needs.”
“Kelly is an excellent dog sitter. Flash was very happy with Kelly. She is very quick in responding to messages. She is very gentle and soft. She worked for many years as veterinary tech. I highly recommend her to take care of pets.”
“Cameron took wonderful care of our cats while we were away. He was kind, gentle, and incredibly thoughtful with them. He spent quality time playing with them and kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our cats are naturally shy, but Cameron was patient and let them warm up at their own pace, it was amazing to see that they had opened up to him within just two days. Beyond being fantastic with pets, Cameron is also a genuinely pleasant person to talk to. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would happily book him again!”
“Krista was punctual and super attentive to our dog. During our meet and greet she made it point to ask where the gates were in our backyard to make sure she knew where they were to check they are closed. I appreciated her being knowledgeable about that stuff and made me feel confident with leaving our dog with someone new. She sent lots of photos and gave lots of love to our dog during her visits.”
“McKenna was great she really helped us out when we needed someone at the last minute. Our dog was well taken care of and she was right on time. Even when plans changed on our end it was no problem and she was very understanding. Will definitely use McKenna again.”
“We just moved to Raleigh in June and needed to find a dog sitter. I came across Leah's profile, reached out to her and set up a time for us to meet her and for her to meet our chocolate lab Kona. After talking with her and watching her with Kona, we felt very comfortable with her watching our fur baby. She has been super responsive, flexible and overall very caring! We have used her a couple of times now and plan to have her watch her in the future!”
“Kaity did an excellent job taking care of multiple animals during drop in visits. She was a great communicator, provided lots of pictures and updates, and was just a joy to work with. Her care of the animals was obvious. We’re looking forward to booking again in the future. Thank you so much Kaity!”
“I can’t say enough great things about her care and dedication to our four legged babies. She was attentive, responsive, and very sweet. A true animal lover that my Bandit and Whiskey were instantly attached to. It made going on vacation a lot easier knowing she was there with them. I highly recommend her services.”
“Marissa left me feeling like my cat was in very good hands. I know it's Rover policy, but I looked forward to being notified when she arrived and left. Getting the photos made me feel very secure.”
“Kristen was great! She was reliable and took care of our two cats. She sent nice pictures and was super friendly the whole time. Kristen was especially helpful because our wifi malfunctioned in the middle of our trip, so during her next visit she patiently helped me to restore it. 100% recommended!”
About: Hey there! 👋 I have been watching pets for over 10 years! I've always loved furry members of the family 🐶🐱 I currently work remotely so I can be around consistently throughout the day. I have no pets of my own, but my roommate has a cat, which is why I don't board or doggy day care any animals at my house. And it's my experience that animals usually feel more comfortable being cared for in their own homes that they're familiar with, so if you're planning on getting away, please let me play pet parent for a while 😁💐 I currently work remote, so even tho I may work 8+ hours a day, I'm there all the time and I'm able to have some flexibility for potty break let outs/feedings! I prefer to stay at the pet's regular home so they feel most comfortable and we don't have a fence or much have much yard at all at my house so it just works out better
About: I’ve grown up with many dogs ranging from Dachshunds to Pitbulls. I love helping my dogs stay active and comfortable. I would love to care for your pet, small or large, in your time away! I work Monday-Thursday from 8am-5pm and Fridays 8:30-2:30. I am able to walk your dog or drop in from 12pm-1pm on weekdays. Unfortunately, outside of that time frame, I am not available until 5:30pm on a weekday (Mon-Thurs) or from 7am-8am. For drop-ins and walking, I will make sure to check on all of your animals needs and anything else pet related that you would like while I am there. I would love any tips to help care for your animal while I am with them!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wake Forest
Our senior cats, Boots and Bella, did amazingly well with Carol. They took to her immediately which is not always the case with cats, and they were happy to stay in their own home with visits from Carol while we were away. Carol paid close attention to their senior details, gave them love and attention during each visit, and I could tell they were comfortable and not stressed when we arrived home. We will definitely book Carol again!
Cindy is wonderful! She was great with our cats and exceptional with all the details for our older Siamese. She is punctual and communicative, and probably one of the best we’ve found. If you have furbabies that are a little complicated and you worry about finding the right person? Cindy is the one for you.
McKenna was great she really helped us out when we needed someone at the last minute. Our dog was well taken care of and she was right on time. Even when plans changed on our end it was no problem and she was very understanding. Will definitely use McKenna again.
Wow! Baylee was phenomenal with our kitty for a week while we were away. Her twice daily reports were thorough and comprehensive. We were thrilled to receive on average 6 or 7 photos at a time. We felt completely comfortable with her caring for our Leo. We know Leo had a great time with her! I wouldn’t hesitate booking her for cat sitting again.
Keagan was excellent with our two pups Bandit and Lil Man. She did exactly what we asked of her. I loved the photos she took to always assure us the boys were doing well. Would highly recommend her to anyone. Wish we could give her 10 stars. The boys loved her! *We did leave a cash tip*
Kathryn was great! She was able to help out at the last minute to watch my two dogs. One of them is a senior pup who has a little trouble walking and seeing sometimes. He also gets medicine twice a day. She took excellent care of my babies and they absolutely loved her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Wake Forest on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,185 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wake Forest. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Wake Forest stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wake Forest. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
