“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.”
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!
About: Let me provide your dog with a home away from home :) — I treat every pup like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, or just some snuggles, I try to match their personality and needs. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds — from high to low energy. I’m big on routines, communication, and making sure pet parents never feel out of the loop. You’ll always get updates and pictures so you can see how your pup’s doing. My goal is simple: for you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is happy, cared for, and in good hands. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pup throughout the day. I can do multiple walks a day, stick to your preferred schedule, and give your dog lots of attention and playtime. I live in a very walk-friendly neighborhood with a large dog park, which is perfect for getting in some fresh air and exercise! I only board potty-trained dogs to keep things clean and comfortable for everyone. I do have a medium-sized crate available if you prefer your dog to have their own space at night instead of free roaming. My main priority is keeping your pet safe, happy, and relaxed while you’re away. I make sure they get the care, love, and attention they need in a calm and comfortable environment.
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.
“AnnaMarie is an awesome sitter! Highly recommend. Took great care of our senior JRT while away on a weekend trip. Would be honored to have her help take care of Ralphie again.”
“Cindy was absolutely amazing! If I could give 10 stars I would! She was punctual, organize, detailed oriented and very communicative. This was our first time using Rover or having anyone outside of our family watching our dogs and she definitely put us at ease. One of our dogs is diabetic and requires insulin injections, as well as just had cataract surgery that required daily eye drop and Cindy took very good care of him. I would definitely recommend for all of your pet need!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Courtney takes the best care of our pets. Even our shyest cat comes out for pets and playtime with her and they are very comfortable with her consistency and attention.”
“Richelle really went above and beyond this weekend with Rocky. I was really conflicted about leaving Rocky home over the weekend, but she made sure he got lots of exercise and love, and even worked to train him! She made it so much easier to enjoy my trip because I knew Rocky was being cared for well.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Ella did a wonderful job caring for our cats while we were out of town. I don't worry about them at all when she is looking after them. She always sends great photos and detailed notes. She is the best!”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful!! She went above and beyond just dropping in to replenish the food & water and clean the litter box. She was in communication with me for any issues she had. Like when the Litter Robot stopped cycling. She texted me and together we got it working again. She spent time with my cats and sent pics of them to me each day she dropped in. From the looks of how happy my cats are, they too think Shannon is wonderful. Shannon will be my go to cat sitter!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wake Forest
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.
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.
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.
