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.
“Rilee was nothing short of exceptional in the care she gave our elderly cat. Rilee was kind and warm, easy to talk to, and truly cared. Our cat has a complex medication regimen that includes oral medication twice a day. Rilee handled this with confidence and was able to put our cat at ease and get all of his medications in. We highly recommend her!”
“Jupiter has been amazing! Often times, we would have to add or cancel day sitting sessions and Jupiter never had any problems with the change. Only reason we are leaving is because we were moving, otherwise we would keep Jupiter for our dogs entire life!”
“Steven took the best care of my two cats, Tango and Mango!! They are rambunctious orange tabbies with big personalities and I was hesitant about using someone unfamiliar to them. Steven offered to do a meet and greet before. He visited daily for two weeks. He did an excellent job feeding them, changing their litter, and spending time with them. Steven provided daily updates and pictures, which was much appreciated. He stayed in communication with me and made me feel at ease. The cats really liked him! I would absolutely recommend Steven to anyone looking for a reliable cat sitter. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Makayla is a cat whisperer. Lex and Luthor are normally so scared of strangers. At our meet and greet Lex and Luthor came right out and made themselves comfortable. I was so surprised! We got updates and the cutest pictures during our vacation. I was so pleased that I could enjoy my vacation knowing Makayla was taking care of my little boys. It was our pleasure working with her and will use her again in the future. If you are looking for the best, look no further!”
“Holly was a great catsitter! She seems very knowledgeable about taking care of animals, and took good care of my recovering-from-a-cold cat while I had a trip for business. She was prompt, responsive and provided a lot of photos and updates, and went above and beyond what was asked of her. She even watered our houseplants while we were gone! I highly recommend her for cat sitting.”
“Felicia was fantastic! She took care of our Ruff while we were away with lots of love and care. We received updates and photos each checkin. I highly recommend Felicia- she is reliable, friendly and caring for dogs. Thanks Felicia!”
About: I have experience volunteering at Big Dog Ranch Rescue working with a variety of dogs. I also have years of experience helping care for a therapy dog. I work 8-5 so I will be taking care of pets in the evening. I’m willing to be flexible & my weekends are open. I’m happy to go on short or long walks, take your dog to a dog park, etc, whatever you prefer! In your home, I will follow all instructions as to where the dog should sleep, eat, etc.
“Booked super last minute due to unexpected emergency, and she was AMAZING! Went above and beyond to take care of my little babies, cannot recommend enough. So communicative and took such great care of them (even though they’re so shy)”
About: I am my friends go-to doggy caretaker when they’re away. i had my own dog until a couple years ago when he sadly passed due to old age. Our house misses a dog in it! Your pet will be loved like one of ours while you’re away!!! Expect doggy photoshoots on the regular. I work as a school counselor so I am out of the house from 7 am to 3 pm. Doggy will be taken out in the backyard in the morning and on a walk around the neighborhood or to the park down the street in the afternoon when I get home. I have a fenced in yard and two toddlers (almost 2 and almost 3) who love dogs and are have been taught to be respectful of pets since they were teenie! Only dogs that are good with kids, but they will never be left together unattended. Because I have my two kids, I will need to watch your dog in my home. I also have cameras in the living room and kitchen so i’ll be able to check on your pup throughout the day while i’m at work!
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had pets, including dogs, cats, and rabbits. Caring for them taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand each pet's unique personality. I know that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so my goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family, providing plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care based on their individual needs and routine. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, interactive play, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their daily schedule, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Communication is very important to me. I'll send regular photo and video updates, along with messages about how your pet is doing, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I'm available for last-minute bookings whenever possible. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and multi-pet households. I'm happy to follow your pet's feeding schedule, medication routine, and any special instructions. I am currently working part time and have sufficient extra time to care for your kitten or cats! My availability is before 11 am and after 1pm daily. I have an apartment with a yard to walk around within gated community if needed. Additionally, it is on the ground floor for convenience or easy access.

I can bring peace to your animals that are missing you while you are away. I work part-time so I’m happy to take care of animals as they fit into my flexible work schedule. I am available on weekends also. I have a fully fenced backyard to let out dogs. I am familiar with crate training and I’m able to crate dogs if needed. I can walk dogs and help them to feel at peace and ease while they are away from their owner, or their owner is away from them.
About: I am experienced in caring for dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles. I have had family pet dogs for 20 years and I am very involved in their care, health and wellbeing. I have had cats, guinea pigs, and a chameleon as a pet. I have provided excellent care for other people’s gerbil, chinchilla, bearded dragon and cats. I am available on the weekends at any time and my schedule varies with great flexibility during the week. Based on the day, I may have morning, afternoon, and evening availability. I am able to provide assured safety for your pet and gentle care when I watch them in your home and provide walks in local areas.
“We booked Claudine for a last minute trip and she was very easy to communicate with through the app. We needed someone to come by and give our cat some attention while we were gone and she did just that! We received some updates after her visits and felt better knowing someone was checking in.”
“Grace has been amazing to work with! She has been incredibly flexible and accommodating, which has made everything so easy. Finn is reactive, so we were naturally nervous about leaving him with someone new, but he absolutely loves Grace. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s so comfortable with her. Grace is kind, patient, and truly cares about Finn. She communicates with us so well, always keeps us updated, and goes above and beyond to make sure he’s happy and well cared for. We are so grateful we found her and couldn’t recommend her more highly. Thank you, Grace, for taking such wonderful care of our boy!”

Kind, intuitive, and easy to work with. Wen Shin, with no advanced noticed, was able to meet me for a key hand off and immediately cover a weekend of drop-ins with my little guy. They took great care of him and followed all instructions. Looking forward to booking again!
Tatiana was a great and caring pet sitter for our cat Ash over the Thanksgiving Holiday! She accepted our booking quickly, set up a meet and greet before our trip, and was a prompt and friendly communicator (we liked the photo updates while we were away). Would highly recommend and would love to use her pet sitting services again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pinehurst is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 10,501 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pinehurst. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pinehurst. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
