“Cindy was absolutely wonderful with my senior cat. Great communication. And I loved seeing pics of my cat getting some love while I’m away cause I ALWAYS feel guilty leaving her home. 😸”
“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.”
“Rachel is fantastic. She was great with my dogs the first meeting. They took to her immediately and were very comfortable with her. She is very responsive and great with them.”
About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life and have loved every second of it! I’ve had my own for the past 7 years, and I care for every dog I meet like they’re my own. I’m a stay at home mom and looking to spend some time outside the house! I love dogs and I’d love to spend time with yours! I am available anytime on the weekends, weekday mornings/evenings. I can do a mid day visit as well! When I’m in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their instructions so pets feel at ease in their own environment. One of my dogs gets terrible anxiety when we leave him, so I know how stressful It is for pups to not have their humans home! I want them to be as comfortable as possible. I give each pet the same care and attention I’d want for my own.
About: I have been taking care of animals (mostly dogs and cats) since I can remember. Growing up we were always the house on the block that our neighbors would bring found animals to, and we'd take care of them until we found their home or our home became theirs. I have always had pets in my life and have been a dog/cat sitter on and off since high school. I bring a calm energy when being introduced to new animals so they don’t feel threatened and we start off on a good note 🤗 I do have a cat, so I will need to go home during the day for an hour or two to feed and play with them a bit before returning to your place. I work remotely so I have a fairly flexible schedule. I have experience giving pets medication and taking care of elderly dog/cats (deaf, blind). Anything specific your pets need, I'll be sure to follow your guidance!
About: My fiance Eric and I have had dogs our whole lives and genuinely enjoy caring for animals, going on walks and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. We are available to take your pet/pets for walks multiple times a day, give them the attention they need, while offering them loving care throughout the day. We have a few greenways in our area where we will take your dog out for long walks. We have a small 15 pound Dachshund that loves company. Your dogs will be free to roam around the house with available food, water, and comfort.
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!
“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 ♥️”
About: Dogs were a part of my life my entire childhood. Once I had children of my own, we adopted so they can be a part of their family, too. Our pup, Clem, is a 5-year-old rescue who has been in our family since he was a puppy. I work full-time not far from my home. I’m able to walk and care for pups before I head to work each morning and give them lots of time in the evenings, with longer walks and backyard playtime. Weekends are when we explore on a hike or an extended walk along the greenway. I have a fenced yard in a dog-friendly neighborhood. My dog, Clem, plays well with others and loves having friends over. I have a crate on site that can be used for small to medium sized dogs if it makes your baby more comfortable.
“Ella was so amazing! Both of our cats came out while she visited, which never happens. She took amazing pictures that made us feel so at ease with being away. Would recommend and will definitely use her again!”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with my cats. She always went above & beyond and treated my cats like they were her own. She sent pictures of them every time she dropped in on them and was a great communicator. During and after every drop in visit, Shannon always sent pictures and let me know how the cats were doing. How they looked, acted and responded to her being there. I felt very secure knowing my cats were being taken care of by her.”
“Lily was a wonderful drop in dog walker. She contacted me promptly and arranged to meet my Rondaxe before hand. Lily must be a dog whisperer because just minutes after meeting my prozac pup who is suspicious of all people who are not me, she had him begging for cuddles. She returned all my messages quickly while dog watching. She was concerned he was not pooping and took him to his favorite spot where he could relax and go. I would certainly hire Lily again. She was trustworthy with the key and access to my home (very important, that) and my dog was not a maniac when I came FINALLY came home.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Wake Forest is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wake Forest
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!
We had a sudden death in our family, and never used a cat sitter before. Suddenly through our grief, we had to find someone to care for our fur baby. Baylee was such a life saver to us! She was flexible and accommodating and so kind! She treated our cat like she would her own. We got detailed updates and pics each visit; Baylee texted me with questions rather than just assume and do the wrong thing. I just can't say enough good things! Professional and a true gift in our time of need!
Incredible cat sitter! Cindy was fantastic to work with while we were out of town. We came home to cats who were well taken care of and we greatly appreciate the care Cindy put into communication, pics of our babies, and the extra mile in making sure the space was taken care of as well.
Alyeska was a natural with our two boys. They are normally mad when we come back from a trip but they barely registered our return this time. It was clear their physical and emotional needs had been well taken care of. She also send us videos each day at our request, which not all sitters will do, my husband really misses the cats when we are away and these videos get him through. Also she took in packages for us we had forgotten were coming. Excellent communicator and we appreciated how consistent her timing was each day.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Wake Forest on Rover is $22.2 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 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 July 2026, there are 5,170 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
- 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.
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.
