“Guillermo saved us last minute when we needed him to house sit our dog. He was so sweet and caring with him and administered his insulin. He was so knowledgeable and took on his two shots of insulin for his diabetes and his meals and walked him. He’s amazing!!”
About: Hi, my name is Alina and I will become a true friend for your dog. I am 28 (years old). I love pets very much. I lead a healthy lifestyle and have no bad habits. I provide pet care services and have extensive experience in pet boarding. At the moment I do not work anywhere, so my schedule is free and we can choose the most convenient format for you. Always an individual approach in accordance with the schedule and characteristics of your pet. Photo and video reports daily. Your four-legged friend will be in good hands!
“Liz was amazing with our two dogs (who have totally different personalities and ages)! She genuinely cares about their well being and how to best take care of their needs. She quickly gained their trust, which is not easy with either of our dogs, as both have some anxiety with meeting new people. On top of that, she took great care of our house too! We are already booking her for more overnight stays. We’re so excited to have found someone who we can trust our pups and house too for short and extended stays!”
“Asia took wonderful care of my Yorkie over the course of two days this week. She is friendly, diligent, professional, communicative, and very kind. Your pet could not possibly be in a better hands. She has a great love for animals and it shows in her work.”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 13 years old. From being the designated dog walker/entertainer at family party’s to overnight pet sitting at friends houses. I love all animals and am qualified and excited at the opportunity to work with your pets! I am currently working a short, part-time job in the area so I have plenty of availability for walks and play time with your pets! I am available for routine drop-ins/walks along with overnight stays and check ins. I am ver comfortable in new environments and am confident in my ability to let your pets in the back yard safely and also crate them if need be. I want to build a safe and trusting environment for your pet in their home.
“Courtney was wonderful! She came to visit once before our scheduled weekend away. She met the dogs, and asked lots of great questions. She's very patient, and gentle - both dogs did very well with her (including one who is very shy with new people). She was very responsive to texts/calls, and kept us posted of how everything was going during her stay. I will definitely be keeping in touch with her!!! Very, very happy with everything :)”
“Omar was so wonderful and professional with our senior cat and senior dog. He was respectful of our home while house sitting and left it in great condition! Omar is also genuinely a wonderful guy, super great to work with and trustworthy. We can’t wait to book him again!”
“James took great care of our dog Remi while we were on vacation. We were nervous to leave him since we just moved to the city and Remi has been struggling with reactivity to other dogs, but James took great care of him. He took Remi on lots of walks and worked with his reactivity which was awesome! We got lots of updates and pictures, and Remi had a great time! I highly recommend James.”
“Jasmine dogsat for us while we were away for 10 days, and she was fantastic with our pup. We got plenty of cute pictures and videos and could tell our dog was having a great time and receiving excellent care. Jasmine was also very respectful of our home and left everything in great shape. We'll definitely hire Jasmine again next time we need a sitter!”
“Nikki is amazing. I felt 100% confident leaving my 2 pups and our home in her care. Nikki pays attention to the details, treats my dogs like royalty and left my home in tip top shape. I had Nikki stay in my home for the weekend. She did not hesitate to ask questions and confirm details. She sent photos of the pups throughout the weekend. And even made sure our flight was returning on time before she left our pups. It was such a pleasant experience we are now using her to care for our pups for 6 days. I know they are cared for and happy to be in their own home. I loved coming home and having my pups waiting for us when we walked through the door. Thank you Nikki.”
“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!”
“Jocelyn was fantastic! Attentive to a very self centered Weim who has separation anxiety! She checked in often over the full day and LJ was exhausted when she left. They played outside, snuggled and went on walks. Jocelyn is very relaxed and I think that really helped with how LJ reacted to her. We are absolutely going to invite her to our home again!”
“Sydney took good care of our pups while we were gone! She was available to help us on short notice when another Rover canceled on us at the last minute. We will definitely consider her again on our next trip!”
“Cameron sat out border collie mix Sushi, at our house, and they were amazing. Our pup is high energy and they kept her engaged, played fetch and went for a long walk with her. We came home to a tired Sushi, clearly she had a great time. Cameron followed Sushi’s care instructions and was very communicative with us. They sent us updates of all the fun times they had with Sushi. Would love to have them again to care for Sushi ❤️”
“You could tell Julia enjoys dogs and she bonded very quickly with my guy. She was very responsive to communication throughout the stay-it was a pleasure to work with Julia.”

I used Jessica before to walk Gabriel, but this was the first time I was leaving him with someone for an extended period of time. She was fantastic with updates sending pics and videos throughout the night. I would definitely use her again and recommend you do as well.
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.
Cameron sat out border collie mix Sushi, at our house, and they were amazing. Our pup is high energy and they kept her engaged, played fetch and went for a long walk with her. We came home to a tired Sushi, clearly she had a great time. Cameron followed Sushi’s care instructions and was very communicative with us. They sent us updates of all the fun times they had with Sushi. Would love to have them again to care for Sushi ❤️
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.
Veena house-sat for two nights to care for my three dogs and cat. I feel very comfortable to have her as my sitter and will be using her for my upcoming needs! When one of my dogs bolted out the front door, Veena spent nearly 5 hours in the heat to get her safely back inside, staying calm and trying numerous techniques. She kept me updated the entire time. One of my dogs has limited mobility. Veena would carry him outside and gently hold him up so he could use the bathroom, then bathed him so he’d be clean and comfortable when I returned. Soiled mats were laundered as well. She also administered medications, sent regular photo and video updates, and gave all my pets genuine affection and care. Amazing care—I highly recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Pinehurst
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pinehurst on Rover is $77.7 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 6,525 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pinehurst. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
