“Scheduled a drop in visit to meet Sharon and see how my dog would interact with her. She showed up on time and my dog seemed to like Sharon (he is particular and doesn't always interact well with strangers) I feel comfortable using Sharon for future drop-in needs.”
“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful! She took care of our dog, and our two cats for an entire week while we were away, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and caring throughout the entire week. She sent us regular updates and photos after her visits, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets were happy and being well cared for. Right before we left for our trip, a cyst on our dog’s back unexpectedly burst, which of course made us nervous about leaving her. Stephanie truly went above and beyond. She took our dog to the vet for us, kept us updated, and made sure she received her medication and the extra care she needed afterward. Knowing that our dog was in such capable and caring hands while we were away meant so much to us. Stephanie treated our pets like they were her own, and we came home to three happy, well-cared-for pets. We are so grateful for everything she did and would absolutely book with her again. We highly recommend her!”
About: I have spent my whole life surrounded by pets. My parents took care of dogs all throughout me growing up :) as well as me and my mom were constantly bringing home more (including a pig once😅) all animals are family to me and I take great pride in providing exceptional care to other peoples furbabies when they need me :) I currently have one dog and three cats who I love so dearly. I am home 90% of the time and do most of my work from home. I am very flexible and can 99% of the time make things work to fit your pets needs!! Happy to be of service to you☺️ I am home 90% of the time and do most of my work from home. I am enrolled in college and when classes are active I have a 1 hour long class on Mondays and Wednesdays. I spend most of my time cuddled up with my pets (and yours if there here ☺️) or im running around with my dog to burn off some of his energy😆 my schedule is very flexible and pet care will always fit into my daily routine. I have a fenced yard and gates throughout my home to separate areas where the dogs should not be or could get hurt. I do regular potty breaks every hour but if this needs to be adjusted due to your pets needs I can do that! I do morning and night feedings for my dog and cats but I can manage feeding your pet on their schedule as well :)
“Amanda helped with my 3 pups for an extended period, much longer than anticipated. She took over in an emergency and was so reliable and great with my dogs, and kind enough to accommodate us for an extended sit, that we asked for her services with no hesitation. And that can be tricky when you're not able to explain the care in person. We communicated via texts and phone on regular basis and she went above and beyond to fulfill my dogs' needs and care. And my pups took to her very quickly. Leaving home for quite a bit may be worrisome but she took charge of the house care as well as if it was her own space. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone who wants a piece of mind while away and great care for their furry family members. Thank you from all of us!”
About: I’m all about attention. Giving attention and connecting and being aware of a dogs needs is everything to caring for them and helping them feel safe and loved. I’m retired and active so I’m flexible and available. If possible I will adjust my schedule to care for a pets needs across the board. I’m attentive to their need for play and rest and I’m focused on compassion and care. Dogs love schedules and whether food driven or play or connection and care, I adjust and take full responsibility for making their life better.
“Bri was friendly and kind to our puppy. She (our puppy) is very young and required a lot of supervision. She provided great communication and excellent care. We would love to work with her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and I’ve trained them myself. I love having dogs around and for me, they are the most genuine being there is! I have also volunteered at dog shelters during college and plan on going back on doing it this year! I work from home managing my photography business so I’m always around during the week. On weekends I usually go photograph but my husband, who’s another dog lover like me, stays home with our kid. I have a lot of time to play and hangout with them and we love to do it as a family as well! Dogs are family for me, and your dog will be treated the same. Sadly, I don’t own any dogs right now so Rover is a way for me to be around them while I wait for my kid to grow a little more to make the commitment of being a dog owner again. He absolutely loves dogs and loves helping me care for them. We live in an apartment but we have a dog park in the community.
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life, but in my teenage years I started bonding more with dogs—and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ve had several dogs over the years, and my current pup, Johnny, is wild, playful, and full of energy. His best friend is a Great Dane three times his size, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs of all breeds and sizes. Whether your dog is energetic, laid-back, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they get the attention, care, and fun they need. I have a flexible job that allows me to fit pet care into my day easily. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the week and can adjust to your pet’s routine. For drop-in visits and dog walks, I treat your pets like my own. I make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. During visits, I’ll follow any specific instructions for feeding, playtime, or medication, and ensure they’re safe and comfortable. When walking, I keep them on a secure leash and adjust the pace to match their energy level, whether it’s a leisurely stroll or an energetic run. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my priority every step of the way.
“Elizabeth was great! She is very responsive and took good care of our three cats while we were gone, sending lots of photos and making sure they were fed, watered, and entertained. Highly recommend!”
“Kim was fabulous! She did drop in visits for our two cats while we were out of town for 10 days and it was such a relief to have her. We will definitely book with her in the future!”
About: They are loyal. They are loving. They are essentially the perfect being. I am all about my dogs, and have two at home, a 14 year old Pom with chronic health issues I’ve had since college, and a 4 year old golden who is great with my boys. I am skilled with medication administration, and love going on strolls with the doggies. My Pom has his own little quirks, and every pet is unique. I will work with you to make sure your dog is happy and comfortable. I am currently not working, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! (I am an RN who recently had a human baby). I will work with you to ensure that your wishes for your pet are followed and that you both are happy and comfortable with me.
About: i treat each dog like their my own, learning their mannerisms, commands, and personalities. whether it’s high energy playtime, calm companionship, or a mix of both, I make sure your dog gets exactly what they need to stay happy, healthy, and loved. on a weekly basis i work 9-5, but that works for typical feeding schedules! on the weekends im pretty much free to hang out with the animals! my top priority for the animals are comfort, consistency, and love. i will keep their space clean even if it’s a little extra work like with puppies or senior dogs. i also send regular updates and photos so your able to relax to the fullest potential.
About: I grew up in a horse-friendly neighborhood so I have been watching various different pets since I was young. (cats, dogs, horses, cows, birds, snakes and more) I am very familiar and comfortable with all ages, and have years of experience with administering medication to pets. I am currently working from home with a lot of flexibility so I have plenty of time to care for and pay attention to your pets. I am currently working from home so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. Whether I am sitting your pets in your home or dropping by for a visit or walk, I will be able to ensure they are getting the attention they need! I love to keep a routine that you and your pet feel familiar with! If they have specific times of day they are used to going for a walk, I try my best to stick to it!
About: Decades of working as a Project Manager in an agency while raising 2 boys and several dogs means I know the importance of organization and reliability. I understand the value of keeping to a set schedule and bringing order to chaos. I have knowledge of different dog breeds and their unique needs allowing me to handle a variety of temperaments and energy levels. (Did I mention that all of our dogs have been some kind of Terrier or rescue which equals unknown baggage, crazy, energetic and FUN) After 30+ years, I ditched the agency rigor in search of joy and fulfillment. Now I am available for walks and wags most days. I can offer versatile walking, feeding and play times, including last-minute bookings with evening and weekend availability to accommodate busy doggo moms and dads. I prefer to hang with your babies in their own environment versus bringing them to mine. I always assume it's more comforting for them to be at home with their beds, blankies, toys and stuffies. Crate or couch, whichever works for your family, works for me. You can be assured that I will provide status updates (you can take the girl out of project management ...) and photos of your pets so you can take comfort in knowing that they are being well cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wake Forest
Alyeska did a fantastic job caring for my cat, Luca. She was very responsive from the very first moment that I reached out to her on Rover until the day of her last visit. She was reliable and provided photo updates and detailed check-ins with each visit. I knew that my cat was well cared for by Alyeska while I was away. She's dependable and caring and I will not hesitate to reach out to Alyeska again to care for my cat while I'm away. Thank you Alyeska for being so wonderful!!
Hailey was amazing from the first meet and greet. She was patient and kind and able to make friends with Willow who has major hesitation with people! She sent videos and pictures from each check-in which made leaving our pets less stressful! Will definitely request services from Hailey again!

She took over in an emergency and was so reliable and great with my dogs, and kind enough to accommodate us for an extended sit, that we asked for her services with no hesitation.

I highly recommend Amanda to anyone who wants a piece of mind while away and great care for their furry family members. Thank you from all of us!
Erin went above and beyond with my pets when I was in the hospital. She walked my dog every day, sent pictures of my cat and dog, and she even vacuumed my house and took out my trash. She checked up on me when I got out of the hospital. I would definitely hire her again.
Kim is so wonderful! She is great with both of my dogs (even though one is super anxious). She let me know that poor Smokey was having diarrhea and that he had gone in his kennel during one of their visits. She was so great about cleaning up after him and keeping me updated. She also takes the best pictures of my active puppy 🤩 Highly recommend Kim for your pet sitting needs!
McKenna did a wonderful job taking care of our older dog. Her feed back was great and much appreciated. She followed our instructions and listened to our concerns. We appreciate her prompt response since it was on late notice. Highly recommend her and will rebook with her.
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.
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*

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Wake Forest is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 5,164 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wake Forest. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
