“So happy to have found Chrissy! She took excellent care of my dog during her drop in visits while we were away. She is prompt, caring, and stays on top of everything!! Great communications, including reports and many wonderful pictures. I highly recommend her, and will definitely call her again.”
About: I have had pets my whole life. I have a genuine love for our furry faced friends. Ive been helping friends and family for only about 5-6 years. Since I've had time and space. Myself and my little dog are new to the area and can't wait to meet our neighborhood friends. I'm new to the area and don't currently have employment. My schedule is wide open at the moment. I would really like to remain as active as possible and love to explore outside. I am a dog owner myself. I feel it's important to cater to your pets needs and abilities. If they like to be outside, then we spend time outside. If not, then we don't.
“Always so appreciative of Izzy's help with our boys! She was willing to add their visit to her busy schedule on a somewhat last-minute request, and I always feel so comfortable knowing Herc and Taco will get a break and some playtime with someone we trust :)”
“Ann is personable and responsible. She communicates well when something comes up—much appreciated. It was their first time having a sitter, and we came home to well fed happy cats with a clean litter box area. All good!”
“Another wonderful visit with Brittani, who I’m pretty sure my two kittos love more than me at this point 😂 Brittani is a wonderful and attentive sitter who is communicative, thoughtful and very warm. Thanks again Brittani! You’re the best!!!”
“I wanted to extend my heartfelt gratitude for taking care of my K & A. Your dedication, care, and attention to detail made my time away much easier knowing they were in such good hands. It was clear that Annie treated them with care and affection as if they were her own. The updates and photos were reassuring and made me smile and feel at ease. Annie went above and beyond facilitating a smooth process while me being in the hospital. Outstanding communication. She is a reliable and caring dog sitter. You truly made a difference, and I'm so thankful for your help. My babies certainly chose you! ☺️”
“Megan was willing to help us out SUPER last minute. So grateful! She was great with communication and any modifications I had she was happy to help. So glad our boys were able to be home versus boarding they are much less stressed and without her it wouldn’t have happened!”
“Lucia was amazing! Our dogs are shy around strangers and people when we are not home. She is the only stranger EVER that our dogs accepted right away without daily interactions . They immediately felt comfortable around her and gave her all the kisses. Lucia was very understanding and even helped with our chickens! We are definitely only using Lucia now!”
“Taylor was very communicative and professional at every step of our first pet sitting experience together. Very easy to get in touch with and patient and provided excellent care to both my dog and cat. Would love to have Taylor come by to take care of them again!”
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.
“Alanna did a wonderful job taking care of my kitten while I was away! She kept me updated with lots of details and photos of my cat, which I appreciated so much! I would definitely recommend Alanna and am so thankful for her amazing care and attention to Opal!”
“Great care for my pets as usual! Brittany took good care of Hugo. She went above and beyond cleaning up a mess our dog made of the trash can we forgot to lock.”
About: I have lots of experience with walking, exercising, play dates, overnight pet sitting, washing, brushing, feeding, and giving them medicine. No problems with large dog breeds or with lifting elderly pets. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available weekdays as well as weekends for walking, over nights stays, washing, playtime, feeding, etc. I will always ensure to arrive in a timely manner and show your pet the upmost love and care. I have a fenced in back yard, exercise equipment as well as 5 different toys for my dog to play with. I walk them daily, wash them as needed and ensure they get fed in a timely manner.
About: Grew up with a family dog, and am now a cat-mom of 2 adorable fur babies. I am reliable and love being around animals. I am available for walks and drop-ins. No overnights. I am a freelance photography stylist and often have availability bi-weekly when I am not traveling for work. Because I have run my own business for 20+ years, I am reliable and dependable. Due to my 2 fur babies who currently occupy my home, I cannot offer boarding of other pets, but am available for drop-ins and walks.
“Kristal is the best rover we have ever used! She clearly loves dogs and our faustus and she is detail-oriented responsible dependable! She leaves great photos and makes me feeling that my baby is well taken care of/loved on while I am at work! Thanks again Kristal for everything!”
About: I grew up on a farm and have always been an animal lover. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats and small animal care. I have 2 dogs and 1 cat of my own and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to take care of your fur babies when needed.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pinehurst
Jackie did such a wonderful job taking care of my dog! She has quite a bit of anxiety, so I really appreciated how patient, gentle, and attentive she was with her. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands while I was away. She also went out of her way to give my cat some love and attention, even though caring for her wasn’t part of her responsibilities. That meant so much to me. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book with her again! ❤️
Campbell took amazing care for our pups, I couldn't have asked for a sweeter, more considerate, understanding, and flexible sitter. She took the time to cater to each of our pets needs individually, and managed a few accidents and messes professionally and perfectly. I highly recommend her for anything you or your babies could need. Thank you Campbell!
Kathryn was amazing with my pup! She went above and beyond not only during her visit but she made the effort to come by and do a meet and greet a few days prior. She took very good care of my pup and home. She kept in communication leading up to, during and after her visit. 10/10 recommend, we will absolutely book her again!
Kristina, was professional, kind, and prompt with all her check ins! She left detailed information after each visit and made sure every animal got attention. She was also kind enough to bring my packages in from the porch while I was away. She had great communication and was wonderful to our animals! Would highly recommend!

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.
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!
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.

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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
