About: I’ve cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors for years, including high-energy dogs, shy rescues, and senior animals needing extra TLC. I’m patient, dependable, and happy to adapt to your pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pup loves cuddles, long walks, or just needs some TLC, I’ll treat them like family. Since I work from home and do school online, I have plenty of time to give your pup lots of love, care, walks, and attention I have a secure fenced yard and 5 friendly dogs of my own, so if your pup enjoys socializing, they’ll have playmates. If not, I can easily keep them separate and make sure they’re comfortable

“We will continue to always book with Zaina! She has stayed with our pets for 10+ days and always sends us pictures and loves our fur babies. Zaina is trustworthy and reliable. We had a flight delay and Zaina was able to stay with our pets an extra day. She’s great!”

“I highly recommend Gabrielle! My Aussiedoodle, Ozzie, loves her. He’s 13, diabetic (2 shots/day), and is going blind. She is so kind to him and follows his daily regime to a tee. Gabrielle has kept Ozzie for an afternoon and overnight, too. We’ll definitely reach out to her again.”

“Penelope was super sweet and very easy to interact with at our introduction. She was very understanding of each of our dog’s temperaments and handled them accordingly. Her communication was great and I was always able to get a response/update from her in a timely manner. Penelope stayed at our home and treated it well, making sure to clean up after herself and the pups! We trust her to take care of our babies and will definitely use her again in the future.”

“We had an unexpected need for a pet sitter for house sitting at the last minute over the holidays. Mae made an effort to be flexible to accommodate our travel schedule and she put us at ease right away with her attention to the details and her comfort with our 2 dogs and our cat. Mae's communication was excellent throughout the visit (she also took some great pictures). She left our house clean and all the pets were relaxed and peaceful when we arrived home. With senior pets and a recent rescue, we had some special needs and Mae handled it all well. We hope to have Mae pet sit with us again!”

“I was honestly so nervous leaving my dog for the first time — I didn’t know how she’d handle being with someone new. But Alicia made everything feel so easy and comforting from the start. She sent me pictures and little updates that truly calmed my heart, and my dog looked so happy and relaxed the whole time. When I picked her up, she was her same sweet self — maybe even a little extra spoiled! I’m so grateful I found Alicia. You can tell they really love what they do and care deeply for the dogs they watch. I’ll definitely be reaching out again next time I need a sitter. ❤️🐾 Toodles & I really enjoyed this experience 🐶❤️”

“Marisa is an excellent sitter and house guest too! Sadie Mae seemed to be having more separation anxiety than normal but Marisa took it in stride and took great care of her. She sent lots of updates and was very flexible in her communication and booking as we were away for the first time on a cruise. When I came home, the house was clean and Sadie Mae was happy. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.”

About: I will go the extra mile to make sure your pup is well loved, hydrated, fed, and exercised. I am new to the area and am eager to explore with a furry friend that I cannot financially support currently, so I will love and care for it like my own. I just moved to Southern Pines, and am looking for any kind of word I can. My experience having dogs in my house all my life has made me responsible and capable of taking care of any kind of dog. We have a very safe apartment complex that we take long walks around many times a day to keep your pup happy and comfortable. If your dog is also a competent swimmer we have a nearby lake with public swimming spots to enjoy.

Carthage pet parents share their Rover experiences
William was awesome with our two pups! They took a liking to him immediately, which was really encouraging from the start. He kept us updated with such sweet pictures and videos, and due to our proximity he was even thoughtful enough to offer to take our pups to have some free roaming time in his fenced in yard (we sadly do not have a fence!!)! That made me SO happy because my pups love to run and have some time off leash, and this was perfect. He followed all of our directions and was extremely respectful of our space. Super grateful to him for taking care of our babies while we were gone!
