“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.”
“Yes yes yes. Trust her. So sweet,informative, communicative, and loving!! She came in cared for our pup 4 times while we were gone for two days. She sent photos and updates and I'll definitely be hiring her again! <3 <3 <3”
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.
About: Hi! I'm a passionate pet caregiver with 15+ years of experience as a dog owner of both large and small breeds. I've spent years dog walking and pet sitting, and I'm comfortable administering medications and supporting dogs through post-surgery recovery. As a bonus parent to two vocal, dramatic cats who are full of love and personality, I bring patience, affection, and a good sense of humor to every visit. Whether it's a quick walk, daily check-in, or longer stay, your pets will get attentive care, exercise, and plenty of love from someone who truly gets it. Looking forward to meeting your furry family! 🐾" I'm available for morning and evening walks and drop-ins. I can also help at lunch-time Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and I used have some availability on Saturdays and Sundays. I provide a calm, clean, and loving home environment for your pet. With 15+ years of experience owning both large and small breed dogs, plus being bonus cat parent to two vocal kitties, I understand how to create a safe and comfortable space. Your dog or cat will receive attentive care, plenty of love, and personalized attention while they’re with me. I’m happy to follow any specific routines or instructions to make sure they feel right at home.
“I am extremely happy with Lexi watching my Belgian Malinois. I did not know Lexi prior to booking her for 3 drop in visits/day for 13 days. Considering being in Europe and so far away, I was very nervous leaving Taz for so long in the care of a stranger. I now know Lexi was the right person to take care of Taz and will request her service in the future. Lexi sent photos with every visit. She went above and beyond IMO. She gave Taz his meds, she brushed Taz, she contacted me and sent photos when he got a hot spot. I asked her to use the anti itch/ fungal spray I have and put a cone/collar on him to help prevent further irritation. She even brought my garbage can in and did a special mail check for me. Great communication, well cared for pet, flexible in booking my vacation days, reliable. Overall, highly recommend, will use again. Thank you Lexi for taking such fantastic care of Taz!”
“Carol is amazing! Our Golden has persistent ear issues and she cleaned his ears with no issues. Our Shepherd loves her too. She even put the pillows on the coaches so the boys would stay off! Highly recommend her! ❤️”
“Ashley was super responsive, took great care of our cat, and provided thoughtful updates. She wasn’t afraid to spend extra time when Monkey wanted some extra love or was scared from a storm. Will definitely be using her again and would recommend!”
“Lucy did an excellent job caring for our indoor kitty and the new outdoor kitty who's been visiting us. She's responsible, trustworthy, replies promptly, understands and follows instructions well, and clearly loves cats. Will definitely look to book her first next time!”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter who genuinely loves animals. I work remotely so I am flexible when it comes to scheduling! I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, so I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is happy and well cared for! 🐾❤️ I work remote, so it will be easy for me to look after pets, give them plenty of company and love at home, and take them on walks! I care for pets as if they were my own, while making sure to follow their normal routine and any specific instructions from their owner. In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. In the pet’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintaining their usual feeding, walking, and bedtime routine. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you know they’re doing well! 🐾
“Marcus was great with our Maizey - he took great care of her while we were away. We could tell immediately that she took a liking to him and we felt good about leaving her in his care. He’s very polite and was quick to respond when we reached out. We will definitely book him again!”
“Kennedy is awesome! She has watched our German Shepard dog a couple times now and she does a great job! She always sends pictures and updates and is quick to respond with any questions or requests we have. We always come home to a happy and healthy puppy too!”
“⭐Ketan was wonderful with my dog Bailey! Even on short notice due to a family emergency, Ketan was available to do a meet & greet with Bailey and I before I left town, which really put me at ease. Ketan was excellent about providing regular updates, photos of Bailey, and clarifying details about Bailey's care that I overlooked in my haste. I absolutely recommend Ketan - 10/10 ⭐”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wake Forest
It’s our fist time using rover, and we’re definitely asking Erin to take care of our kitties again! Erin was and is AMAZIIINGG!! She made sure that our kitties were well taken care off, and sent the cutest pictures! Helped us enjoy our vacation knowing the kitties were safe! I recommend her 100%!! She was also very communicative about everything which made us feel even more secure.
Natalie was great all-around. She communicated effectively and often - asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something rather than let it be and when I failed to realize I had booked one day less than intended, she immediately brought it to my attention. Sounds like plain stuff you would expect but in my experience, that has not always been the case. I would definitely recommend Natalie and look forward to using her services again.
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!

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 November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $34 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 November 2026, there are 5,108 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 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:
- 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
