“Kristal is awesome, respectful, timely, communicative, and SO great with our two dogs. One of our dogs (Fritz) is totally in love with her and won't leave her alone when she's over. To me, that says everything about how she is with our dogs.”


“Kristen, is a very sweet and caring young lady to our Vienna and Vienna adores Kristen! Kristen was very punctual for our meet and greet, I was very impressed with her! She also quickly replied to messages I sent to her. I totally feel assured and in good, capable hands with Kristen! I would highly recommend her!”


“mantha was amazing with my babies! 🐾 She sent us daily updates and multiple pictures, which made us feel so comfortable while we were away. We booked her last minute, and she was so kind and willing to help take care of our dogs. My dogs looked so happy and comfortable with her, and you can tell she truly cares for animals. She did an amazing job, and I would definitely book with her again! ❤️”


“Zoey was great. She made my fur baby Patches feel safe and secure. Zoey responded with texts and reassurance my dog was eating and running outside. I would highly recommend zoey. Everyone should have a sitter like her.”

“Will definitely use Michael again! I hired Michael to watch our house and our dog while we went away for the weekend. He took great care of my house and would send us updates of my dog playing and having fun! Highly recommend Michael!”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me time and time again to look after their pets (and even their plants), and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I share my home with my sweet lab mix, Congo, and my newly adopted cat, Mayo, who bring so much joy into my life. I’ve also spent years house‑sitting and pet‑sitting, and my time working in the local restaurant industry has taught me to be dependable, patient, and attentive. I treat every pet with the same love and comfort I give my own! I’m a local college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, and consistent care. I follow safe walking practices with secure leash handling and close awareness of my surroundings. I also stick to your dog’s usual training and routine to keep them comfortable.

“Katie was so wonderful. We trusted her completely to take care of our pups and stay at our home and it was a trust well placed. She’s a great communicator and is responsive to both the home/dog owner needs and the needs of the pups. We are so thankful that she was there to care for Nikko & Sugar when we were away.”

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Mae! She watched our Kingston this weekend while we took a short trip, and we were beyond impressed with the level of care, professionalism, and love she showed from start to finish. Mae stayed in our home, and from the moment she arrived, we could tell she genuinely cared about Kingston’s happiness and our peace of mind. She was incredibly respectful of our home everything was exactly as we left it. She followed routines perfectly, kept us updated throughout the weekend with thoughtful messages and pictures, and made sure Kingston felt loved and comfortable while we were away. It was such a relief knowing he was in his own environment, receiving one-on-one attention and care. When we returned home, Kingston was happy, and clearly well taken care of. As protective pet parents, finding someone we fully trust is no small thing, but Mae exceeded every expectation. We will absolutely be using Mae again for future trips. She’s responsible, kind, trustworthy, and treats Kingston as if he were her own. We truly couldn’t ask for a better sitter she will always be our go-to from here on out!”


“We were looking for a pet sitter on relatively short notice. I was impressed with Tessah's work experience with animals and her passion for them. She was able to come and stay with our pets (2 dogs, 3 cats plus a foster mama cat and her babies) and we will definitely contact Tessah when we need a pet sitter in the future. I appreciated the prompt and clear communication as well as the pet pictures. Even our shyest cat came out to say hi!!”

“Taylor was outstanding! The dogs absolutely loved him. He took care of the house and my mail. He was extremely communicative to me and sent updates with photos. He did a great job making sure the dogs were as comfortable as possible. Extremely professional and takes his job seriously which made me feel really great booking with him. I would HIGHLY recommend Taylor for any of your pet sitting needs (just don’t need him when I need him! Ha ha just kidding!) will definitely be using him in the future!”

“Gabrielle was great! She kept me updated daily, sent pics, communicated well and best of all Thor seemed happy. And I felt great knowing she was at my house full time and not just running in and out to take care of him as time allowed. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I love animals especially dogs! I regularly volunteer at a dog shelter, have owned dogs my whole life, and believe every dog deserves to have the best day ever! I am available for walks, taking them to the park, playing fetch, or coming into your home for visits. I’m currently in between jobs so I have lots of time to spend with your pet! If you need walks daily or vacation I’m your girl I make sure the pets I’m caring for are safe, have water and food, activity, and a comfy place to sit, I am willing to follow your instructions
“Jessica is the best! She loves on your animals like they are her own, we can tell when we talk to her and when we come back and see our dog, who is not stressed and still very happy. Her communication is consistent and informative. You will be happy if you book with her.”


“Lola watched our sweet old doggy and house over a long weekend, and we were super impressed by her communication and care throughout it. We came home to a clean home and super happy pup. We’d absolutely recommend her to others!”

“Toodles absolutely loved her! She was super friendly, easy to work with, and kept great communication the whole time. I felt completely comfortable knowing Toodles was in good hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”

About: Hello! I'm a 40yo female and long time animal lover. I had a small farm in Texas and I've always had xlarge breed dogs since being on my own. I am well versed in handling dogs and any protective behaviors, as well as any exercise level you need supported. I also have done shots (in horses), giving pills, and handling any ointments your pets may need. My current schedule is open, so I can come to you, whenever it's needed. I am currently working on a Bachelor's Degree and have a very flexible schedule; I can do walks and overnight stays to keep your pet comfortable whenever you need. My pets always had a schedule, so I'm happy to help keep you and your pets stay on a regular schedule. I am used to dogs needing walks and meal time in the mornings and the evenings, as well as some breaks in the afternoon; just let me know your needs and we'll get it worked out.
About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and truly love caring for them. I’ve worked with horses since I was 8 years old and have cared for dogs since I was 16. I’m experienced with animals of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving extra attention and affection, I treat every pet like family! I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available most weekdays and have open availability on many weekends. I love spending time with animals, making sure they get attention, exercise, and lots of care while you’re away. I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment for every pet in my care. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, crating if needed, and giving pets lots of attention and comfort. I also make sure pets stay on their normal routine so they feel safe and stress-free while their owners are away.
About: I have tons of experience in doggy day care, and my husband and I moved to the area 3 years ago. He is active duty ARMY, so he can be gone a lot, and what better way to fill the time than with furry friends! I will love your dog like my own. I go to the gym in the morning, than I am home the rest of the day! We will have plenty of time for walks and play time and I hope you meet you and you furry friend soon! I am getting my masters degree in nutrition from an online university so I do all of my work from home! It is the perfect home for your doggie too! I will love your pet as you do! Walk and feed in the morning and then feed and a walk after dinner plus the dog gets free roam in and out of the house because we have a fully fenced in yard I’m a stay at home mom with two little kids! They are two and five. We have a huge fenced in yard and I am never gone for more than an hour or two.
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.
Over 12 pet parents in Carthage have booked house sitting
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!

William is absolutely amazing! We have 3 very high energy dogs with a very strict routine. William followed their routine without flaw and was more than just “watching them”. He sent photos upon arrival, throughout the stay, and before leaving. His communication was timely and clear. We will be booking with William again because he is someone we know we can trust with our pups and they enjoyed him. Even our very picky cat took to William right away!
