“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: I've been a dog sitter for over a decade, on top of having my own pets as well. I've watched dogs as small as shih tzus and yorkies, to dogs as big pit bulls and labs. I am pretty active and love to go on walks, and would love to bring your dog with me! I currently work from home, so I have lots of flexibility throughout the day to help take care of your pets! I am available for daytime walks or check-ins almost everyday, and available to house sit any time as long as you reach out in advance! I have house-sat for friends and family for over 10+ years, and feel very comfortable saying that I have always been a clean, respectful house guest. I am a non-smoker; and I would prioritize your comfort and privacy while staying in your home, ensuring your pet is well cared for when I am there.
“Tom did a great job with Chidi! He can be tricky and he was very patient as Chidi reacclimated. He also shoveled our stairs and cleaned off our car after the snow which was nice to come home to.”
“Kerri is wonderful! We are grateful to have found her. She is very communicative and flexible and our pup took to her right away. She even sent us photos from the visit.”
“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.”
“Catherine was an incredible help with our dog and our sassy cat! She kept us updated with frequent messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she cared for both our pets and our home as if they were her own. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Liz was a very caring, kind, and fun caregiver for my two English Shepherds, young Scout and older Molly. She stayed with them for two full weeks, followed my copious dirctions and everything went smoothly. I recommeend her highly!”
“Nikki was wonderful with our Ollie. From the first minute, I knew she was a good dog person, and she kept us well informed about how he was doing throughout our time away. Definitely will use her again. Thank you.”
“Julia was awesome with Bonnie. We had a meet and greet prior to leaving her with a new sitter. Bonnie is 80 pounds and leash reactive. I wanted to make sure Julia was able to handle her in walks. She definitely was. You could tell she is around animals a lot and knows how to care for them. We left Bonnie for two nights with Julia. Bonnie was happy and well taken care of. Our house was also well maintained. She was clean and very neat. We have rebooked her for a trip we are taking in October. Thank you Julia for taking great care of Bonnie.”
“Jasmine is fantastic! She took such great care of my dog Beau. She watched him at my home, was very attentive to his needs and took great care of my home as well. She was very easy to communicate with throughout the stay and very responsive. I would highly recommend Jasmine!”

“Karein is the best! She has a wonderful way with animals and bonded quickly with our six year old Berner, Ruby. She was extremely thorough and we felt so good the whole time we were away knowing Ruby was being taken on exciting adventures (she has a few dogs she walks regularly so Ruby joined the pack (voluntarily and with our permission!)) and our house was spotless when we came home. We would absolutely work with her again - so lucky to have found her. Thank you so much, Karein!!”
About: Dogs have always been apart of my life. All the dogs i’ve ever had have been fosters. My family and I always loved providing a home for dogs in need! I’ve had dogs of all kinds and sizes and cherished them all! I’m current unemployed and very open! There are no conflicts in my schedule at the very moment. I’m excited to potentially see your pup or pups! Listening to guidelines or instructions set by owners is the most important! You know your pet the best. Otherwise I will provide loving, safe, and attentive care at all times!
“Nicole B. was wonderful with my cockpoo, Gracie! She was in frequent contact and sent many photos. Gracie wants to snuggle all the time, and she got constant snuggling with Nicole. She slept over for several nights and you wouldn't even know she had visited, everything was so tidy when I returned. When Nicole came back to drop off my keys, Gracie was so happy to see her. I would highly recommend Nicole!”

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👍
Karein stayed in our home while we were away. She was fantastic. She asked lots of good questions, confirmed arrangements, sent lots of photos and videos, and took great care of our dog. And, we came home to a beautifully clean home. I look forward to having her stay with our dog again.
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pinehurst
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pinehurst on Rover is $79.92 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 6,453 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
