“Alexis did a great job of looking after our 3 cats. She kept us updated throughout her visit and made sure to send us pictures of each one. We would love to book her again in the future!”
About: I’m a Junior at NCSU in the Pre-Vet program! I am a certified vet assistant, worked as a kennel attendant, and I volunteer with a local cat rescue often. I have experience with aggressive, disabled, and high energy animals, as well as all types of species! I can’t wait to meet your pet and give them the best care! I am currently taking classes but I am flexible in the mornings and evenings to take care of your pet! I am often free and have a flexible schedule on weekends. I will walk dogs with awareness and attentiveness of your pet, and during house visits I will make sure your pet is comfortable, happy, and healthy! I will make sure your pet is active and playing, and I don't mind attending to other requests while you're away.
“Alexis was awesome with our cats. We were expecting someone just to make sure they had food, water, and clean litter. But Alexis did so much more. She spent time with our cats and they began looking forward to her visits each morning. Well, Sweets did, Salty was more about the food. We have never left the cats for such a long period of time so they were stressed for sure. But Alexis gave them some stability and love while they were alone. Thank you Alexis. We have 2 more weddings later this year and really hope Alexis is available again.”
“I’m so grateful for the amazing care Garrett provided for my cat, Adele. He was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Adel was clearly very well taken care of and comfortable, and I could tell she received a lot of attention and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Jocelyn was such a great communicator and I felt so comforted to have her there with my young kitten. I looked forward to her daily photos and thoughtful reports. Couldn’t recommend more.”
“Andrew was a great sitter! I left Freja for 4 days and she was clearly well-taken care of. I got updates every day about the toys she played with during Andrew’s visits. I will definitely be booking Andrew the next time I need to take a trip.”
“Lauren took such great care of my two cats while I was away! She took the time to clean their litter boxes, feed them and even got playtime in during her visits. Would highly recommend!”
“Avonelle is the absolute best. She was referred to us by a friend and we’ll be using her services from here on. Took care of all of our pets (including a very last minute addition) and left the place sparking clean. Everyone needs to hire her (but not too often so she can still watch after our zoo from time to time!)”
About: WALKING & DROP-INS ONLY 🐾 I do not walk before sunrise or after sunset. I strive to give my pet parents the best photos of their babies! Check out my photos to see some of the results! 🫶🏻 I have experience with amputees, post-op, dogs with anxiety, puppies, and senior dogs (my 16 year old tripawd chihuahua passed away recently 💔). I have experience administering medication, feeding hard and soft food (refrigerated, heated up or at room temperature), managing a post-surgery cone, suture observation, providing assistance navigating the home, and easing fears when they arise. I have experience taking care of Dachshunds, English Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Great Danes, Huskies, Labs, Golden Retrievers, Yorkies, Spaniels, Mixed Breed dogs in a variety of sizes, and cats. I’m available ☔️ or ☀️ maybe even ❄️ but not 🌪️. Although I’m no longer boarding, I predominantly work from home so Rover fits well into my schedule. I’m unavailable on Monday and Tuesdays but am flexible on other days. I would care for anyone’s pet the same way I would care for my own, with the most love, care, and respect for the animal as possible. If I’m in the client’s home, I would follow the client’s instructions on how to best serve the animal while I’m there.
“Anna is an incredible rover who was able to bond with both of our cats very quickly! She is very helpful, easy to talk to, and willing to go above and beyond for animals she is watching! We will definitely be using her again when we go out of town!”
“Katelyn did a great job with my cats! Her updates are detailed and she includes lots of pictures. I can tell my cats are comfortable with her. I would recommend Katelyn and will book her again in the future!”
About: I am excited to help take care of your pet with walks, visits, and house sitting! As a cat mom, I’ve loved taking care of pets and spending time with them. During undergrad, I’ve helped a family friend with their new dog through walks and play. I’ve helped my close friends by watching family dogs and cats as well. I am currently in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Masters program at NC State! My classes are usually between 4pm-7:30pm, and I am currently walking one dog in the afternoons. I’m available in the mornings and afternoons for walks and drop ins, depending on time and location! As a cat mom myself, I will work around my pet schedule to help out yours. Whenever I’m at a pet’s home, I make sure to greet them and follow the necessary steps in their care! I make sure to show them some love and affection while I visit.
About: I grew up around animals and have a love of learning each pets personality and care needs. I have pet sit for many friends, neighbors, coworkers. I have experience ranging from cats and dogs to reptiles, amphibians and rabbits. Ask me about a discount! I am currently working as a behavioral therapist and college student with flexibility in my schedule. I am home mornings and evenings with the occasional ability to accommodate a mid-day drop in. I enjoy walking, running, hiking and being outdoors. I can do stop by feed, and socialize pet care as well as in home care of your animal family members. I offer boarding for cats and any other caged animals. I am available to stay at your home or to come by for a period of time to do any care tasks and enrichment before returning home. I am available for walking dogs, cats and anything leash trained.
“This is the third time that I’ve used Riley now and she has been great! Even let me know about an ant problem around my cat’s food and helped take care of it for me while I was gone for an extended period! Thanks Riley!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Raleigh
Emma was amazing for a last minute medication drop in! She sent an amazing update and really helped clear my mind while I was gone on work. It's clear she loves and is dedicated to caring for cats 💗 Silver is usually very shy, but came out quite quickly with Emma!!
Heather is terrific. She spends quality time with our cat, making sure she has plenty of food, treats water and a clean litter box while we are traveling. She goes above and beyond her Rover duties, contacting us if something doesn’t look quite right around the house or neighborhood. I trust her implicitly in my home and with my cat!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in West Raleigh is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
