“Christy recently dog sat at our home for a week for our 7 year old mini doodle and we could not recommend her highly enough! She was reliable, communicative, responsive, great at expectation setting and clearly someone who genuinely loves caring for and spending time with pets. We knew our dog was in great hands with her and getting lots of love and attention. She even came to our home an extra time before our trip, to make sure our dog got to know and trust her. We would highly recommend her to anyone and would enthusiastically rebook with her in the future. Thank you, Christy!”

“Andrew is a dog owner's dream. He's extremely friendly and likeable and very reliable/dependable. Always easy to communicate with and sends updates. But best of all my dog loves him and that's the most important part of the relationship. We plan to use his services again for a longer trip knowing he will take care of everything.”

I especially enjoy working with dogs on consistency, structure, and positive reinforcement in a calm and patient way. We have a very friendly dog and two cats in our home. Our dog is extremely gentle, submissive, and gets along well with every dog she’s met. Our cats are very dog-savvy and used to being around visiting dogs, which helps create a calm and comfortable environment for everyone. I know leaving your pet with someone else can feel stressful, so I do my best to make the experience easy, comfortable, and fun for both you and your pet.

“Cailey spent a week in my apartment caring for the fur baby, Rocky. She communicated often and sent photos to re-assure me that he was doing well. She went the extra mile of buying treats for him and took excellent care of my apartment. I will definitely be asking her to sit for Rocky again on my next trip.”
“Melissa was great! She watched our beagle last minute for an entire day, who is often shy and scared of strangers and she warmed right up to her. We felt good knowing our girl was in such great care. We would definitely recommend and book Melissa again!”
About: I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m happy to provide extra care for puppies, senior dogs, shy or anxious pets, and those who need a little more patience and attention. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels right at home! I work full-time during the week, so I am available to provide pet care on weekends. I love using my weekends to spend quality time with pets and give them the attention, and care they deserve. I am happy to accommodate walks, playtime, drop-ins, or sitting, depending on your pet’s needs. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I provide pet care exclusively in the client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, needs, and preferences so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my experience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience with both puppies and senior pets, and I adjust my care to match their energy levels, medical needs, and routines. I'm available for boarding on the weekends and any night after 4 pm. There will always be a trusted adult at home to keep your furry friend happy and cared for! I have a fenced in yard and a border collie living at home. He is extremely friendly and his best friend is my brother's teacup Yorkie, so he gets along with dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10. I dog-sit and cat-sit, and I have even bird-sat before. I have shadowed dog trainers and aided with behavioral therapy dog certification tests, and I volunteer at Best Friends shelter for dog walking. I am very adaptable to what works for each dog, because I know everyone has individual needs! I won't tire or get short with a puppy, and I can just provide companionship and support to senior dogs :) I know how to read a situation and how to avoid a stressful or potentially volatile situation with another dog, and as such, I will act accordingly because nothing is more important than keeping you pet safe and happy! For the background of my pet experience, in my parents' home, which I grew up in, all our pets (2 cats and a dog) have their own beds on the floor next to mine, as well as one or two others in the living room, basement, etc., so they can always hang out with us. We have a yard where they go out and play in or get sun, and take them on walks on the daily. For my cats we have 2 cat trees, and it turns out they prefer window sills and beds anyway, so we leave blankets out for them. We feed them 2x a day with wet and dry food, and will give dental bones to our dog and treats usually daily. In your home, I wil respect all your house and pet rules, treat your things and pets with respect, and give them love and attention until you return home! Pets are what brighten my day. When I come home from school, the first thing I do is greet them, and when they greet me with a smile on their face and their tails wagging, I forget the stress of the day. They make my whole life better. I try to dogwalk at the local shelter on weekends, and say hi to any and all dogs I meet (obviously checking in with the owners first) I currently live in an apartment with a roommate; however, she will never be left alone or in any way in charge of caring for your pet. I will never leave your pet alone with her or anyone else for the duration of their stay with me. They will be given treats and food as you dictate, and they will be loved, cuddled, walked, and treated as the King or Queen of the house. I promise to cherish your pet as if they were my own, because I know (and I am of the opinion of this too!) they are more than pets, they are family.
“Fahad stayed at my house and took great care of my two dogs while I went away for a couple of days. He sent updates with pictures, my dogs were walked and happy, and my house was very clean when I arrived home. He also left treats behind for the doggos which was so nice! I would definitely book him again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pinehurst
Cameron has been a delight to work with, from the get-go. Pup and house were both in great shape after an eight day house sit. Communication is always fast and efficient. Pup is active, lives for long walks and lots of play, Cam went well beyond “meeting expectations” in every way.
Guillermo was awesome taking care of my dog. He went above and beyond taking care of her he took her to the pond and took her on a car ride which she loves. When I got back and said my goodbyes to Guillermo my dog kept looking back at the door waiting for him to come back and stay. I will absolutely use Guillermo in the future based on how happy he made my dog and with his communication throughout. 10/10 guy👍
Sarah took wonderful care of our 9-year-old Sheltie for three nights. He isn't the easiest dog to care for—he's on a special diet, takes several medications and supplements, and has arthritis, which makes stairs and long walks difficult. Sarah handled all of his needs with patience, kindness, and attention to detail. To make things even more challenging, our dog can be a bit standoffish with new people. Sarah was incredibly sweet and patient with him, and before long she had completely won him over. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. She texted us with photos and comments on what they were doing each day. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and a spotless house. We wouldn't hesitate to trust Sarah with him again and in fact have rebooked another house sitting with her. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate pet sitter.
Mary was very kind and accommodating to our senior dog Ellie who doesn't get along with other pets. She made her feel right at home and looked after her over the holidays. She was very responsive and sent regular updates and photos. We would definitely reach out to Mary again for pet sitting services!
Afrikah is a wonderful dog and house sitter. She is a great communicator who bonded with our dogs, asked great questions, sent photos and updates each day. We came home to happy, tired dogs and a clean house. You will be lucky to get Africah for your dog/ house sits.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Pinehurst walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Pinehurst maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Pinehurst choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .
