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 great with our cats. She made sure our cat that has special feeding instructions was taken care of. It gave us peace of mind knowing they had everything they needed while we were away on vacation.”
About: WALKING & DROP-INS ONLY 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.
About: I’m a dependable, caring pet lover who treats every pet like they’re my own! I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra TLC. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, so my goal is to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also happy to keep you in the loop with plenty of updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind! Pets of All Ages – Comfortable caring for puppies, kittens, adult pets, and seniors, and happy to adjust to each pet’s individual personality, energy level, and routine. Senior Pet Care – Experienced and comfortable caring for older pets who may need a little extra patience, assistance, or attention throughout the day. Insulin Injections – Experienced administering twice-daily insulin injections according to a pet’s prescribed schedule and care routine. Medication Management – Comfortable administering medications and keeping up with consistent dosing schedules and instructions. Communication & Updates – I know how much you want to know that your fur babies are doing well while you’re away! I provide regular updates, photos, and anything else that helps you feel connected and reassured. 🐾📸 Most importantly, I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 💕 I currently work a full-time hybrid schedule, which gives me a lot of flexibility to accommodate my clients’ needs. My work-from-home days can be adjusted when needed, allowing me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and extra attention throughout the day. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works well for both you and your pet! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I want them to feel as comfortable and secure as possible while you’re away, so I make every effort to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. I’m attentive to the little details—from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and their usual habits—and I’ll make sure they receive the same love, patience, and care they would get at home.
“Ellie was amazing! She was so sweet with my cats and they loved her! She’s super quick to respond on the app and did a great job taking care of everything they needed and the house.”
“Andrew was great with our menagerie of cats, fish, and birds! He even befriended our shy cat to that point she would play and greet him at the door! He also sent many videos and pictures from his visits so we could see their antics. Would absolutely book him again.”
About: I’ve been a lover of pets since I was a child and do my very best to give any and all of them as much love and care as possible. I’ve almost always had an animal in the house since I can remember and they’ve all been special to me in their own ways. While I am new to animal care as something other than just caring for my own furry (and fishy) friends, I do have experience from helping care for strays in my neighborhood, cat sitting for a friend and walking my neighbors dog. I strive to treat any and all animals as I would my own, with gentleness and respect. I am currently enrolled in community college which only demands for me to make time on Mondays in the morning for class. Other than that, my weeks look pretty open. I am flexible with scheduling and will communicate and be very upfront about any conflicts or if a job simply doesn’t fit into whatever plans I might already have. When taking care of another’s pets I will be as respectful as I can of the environment while staying attentive to the animal the full time. I will follow whatever instructions are set and be aware to any behavioral notes or boundaries a pet may have that I am warned about. I will engage the animal as much as possible, wanting to give them enough love and entertainment within the duration I have with them. I might even bring over a toy or treat if permitted.
“Xeque was excellent with our kitties. She did great at keeping us updated on how they were doing and was very respectful! Highly recommend her services and will absolutely be reaching out again if ever needing services again!”
“Emma did a great job of taking care for my two cats while I was away. She was so kind to them and very responsible. She sent photos every time she visited so I could see how ell they were doing. Highly recommend!”
“Summer was such a wonderful pet sitter for my cat! They were prompt and helpful in their communication, and knew all of the questions to ask to make the experience as seamless as possible. I’ve been back for one day, and I think my cat misses them already! They provided thoughtful and helpful feedback with each visit, and the photos they sent made me feel like my cat was in good hands. I would highly recommended seeking out Summer for your pet care needs.”

Harker loves playing with other dogs so much and loves to make new friends! I am working full time, I run home during my lunch break to let out for potty! I always keep my doggie camera on just in case! I’m pretty much at home as soon as I get off at 4:30! I live in great neighborhood in Raleigh so leashed walks are my go to! Harker and I walk 2 miles in the morning and 2 in the afternoon after work! I will always send you pictures, as a dog owner when I’m on vacation this is my favorite thing to receive!
About: I’ve been regularly dog and cat sitting for the past five years, providing drop-in visits and overnight care. I grew up with rabbits and guinea pigs, so I’m also comfortable caring for small animals. Since my apartment doesn’t allow me to have a pet of my own right now, I love getting the opportunity to give your pet(s) lots of love. I’m reliable when it comes to feeding, bathroom breaks, playtime, and keeping you updated while you’re away! I’m very flexible with my availability. I’ll also be in town over the holidays and would love to help care for your pet(s)! I’m attentive to detail and diligent about following instructions and routines to ensure pets receive the best possible care. If I have questions or notice anything out of the ordinary, I communicate quickly to give you peace of mind. I’m also happy to help out with watering plants, bringing in the mail, or light housekeeping while you’re away.
“Hailey was great with my doggies! I had a last minute need and she so graciously helped watch my pups while I had to work! She is very responsive and I really appreciate that. Highly recommend using Hailey for your dog sitting needs!”
“Lily took the best care of our cat. He really seemed to enjoy the time he spent with her and she provided regular photos and updates. We wouldn’t hesitate to request her care again.”
About: I have 2 years hands-on experience as a kennel assistant at a veterinary hospital. I have also pet sit for friends and family over the years. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. From playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. While I don’t provide training services, I’m comfortable caring for older pets and following any routines or special care instructions to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a full-time barista and typically work morning shifts Friday-Monday. On those days, I’m usually available after 2PM, although I may occasionally work until 5PM. Tuesday-Thursday, I have open availability and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening bookings.

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 have taken care of my own dogs since I was 15 and I started taking care of friends’ dogs and cats soon after that. I believe it is important to understand animals and their needs first and foremost. Each animal is unique and I will approach each animal in a way that is appropriate based on your insight. I like to match an animals energy to ensure they feel safe. I work remote, so I have a very flexible schedule this summer to hang out with your pets! Rain or shine I’ll be around unless otherwise indicated on my calendar :) I will always keep an eye on animals to make sure they are eating, drinking, and pottying okay! I am very detail-oriented and will look out for key signs that something is off. I also want to make sure they get enough stimulation and I will make sure they get their energy out!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Raleigh
We’ve used Helena countless times now, and she truly is the best of the best! ❤️ It’s such a blessing to be able to go out of town and have complete peace of mind knowing our fur babies are being loved on and cared for to the highest degree. We couldn’t ask for anyone better to trust with our babies! 🐾💕
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!
Beverly is wonderful! Our cats adore her, and she’s taken such great care of them. Her visit summaries are very thorough, and the photos are always so fun! She’s given us peace of mind to leave our older cat and new kitten alone together, and she helped us some with the introduction process in the beginning! She’s very communicative and always lets us know when there’s an issue, whether it’s because one of the cats threw up, or they got into something they shouldn’t have. We’re so grateful to have her looking after our kitties!
I am a first time Rover user and found Sarina on the site with no referrals. I am so pleased. She did such an excellent job!! Lots of pics and updates, timely arrival every day, and was willing to extend by one day on short notice, and responded very quickly to any messages. We will definitely ask her back soon!! (One kitty this time, but would totally trust her reliability with more pets)

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 .
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.
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 .

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 , 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.
