“Emerald helped us with our dog at very last minute, before even having met him or our family, and she did a wonderful job. She was on time and thorough with her walks and care of our dog. She also left us notes in rover about his status and whether or not he pooped/peed and was fed. We appreciated everything she did so much and will surely hire her again!! Thank you!”
“Kristina was the first cat sitter we have had and we will definitely be booking with her again. She made sure to send us photos on each visit with a little update on how everything was. She helped keep our anxiety at bay, which in turn meant we could relax and enjoy our holiday knowing Molly was being well looked after. We would highly recommend Kristina :)”
“Christy is the best! This was the first time we booked her, and we wish we could give her 10 stars! Our dog loved her, she was prompt, sent pictures during her stay and we will definitely be calling on her again in the future. Thank you, Christy!”
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.
“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! ☺️”
“Ann is the best! She is a wonderful communicator, even with some of my last minute chaotic requests! She takes such great care of my cat. I am so thankful for her and trust her whole heartedly!”
“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!”
“Kamrie is awesome with my puppy! She's trustworthy and was able to update me with my puppy with rover cards. Thankful for the extra snuggle and walks she gives for my puppy 🐾”
“Melanie did an amazing job caring for Killy and Laga. She arrived as scheduled and took great care of the dogs and house. I definitely recommend using her services!”
“Very happy with Camille's drop in on our kitties. She did everything we asked and more. Our cats felt comfortable enough to come greet her, which says a lot! Really great communication from her too. Will absolutely keep her in mind for future needs!”
“Jennifer has done drop ins for my cats during two periods of time for me now. She is very thoughtful with the updates she leaves me on the report cards and makes sure I know my girls are safe and well taken care of. I also love when she brings her kids along to give my social butterfly of a cat a little extra attention! I will definitely continue booking with Jennifer.”
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. I also have experience with pet medication schedules, special diets and senior animals. I am a nurse and currently work PRN so I have a lot of flexibility to meet your pets needs. I am a nurse an currently work PRN so I have a lot of flexibility to care for your fur babies. I am an early bird so early morning visits/walks are no problem at all. I am available Monday - Friday and most weekends. My fur babies are my kids and I treat every furry face I meet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to keep a consistent routine for your pets that allow them to feel comfortable and safe. I have experience in medication administration schedules, special diets, exercise routines for any fur babies that may have physical challenges or disadvantages. My goal is to keep your pets safe, comfortable and entertained while you're away to allow you to feel confident that your pets are well cared for in your absence.
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life and absolutely love caring for them. I prioritize keeping your pet’s daily routine consistent, providing plenty of exercise and affection, and keeping you updated with pictures so you can have complete peace of mind while away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I maintain a full, flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening drop-in visits and walks, giving your pets consistent care right on their normal timeline. When visiting your home, safety and security are my top priorities. I strictly follow all entry, key, and security instructions, keep dogs securely leashed during walks, ensure gates and doors remain locked, and leave your home exactly as I found it.
About: One of the best feelings in the world is being greeted by a dog’s wagging tail—a pure expression of happiness, joy, and love that instantly brightens the day. I grew up with dogs, and from an early age, I learned how much they truly complete a home. I always accommodate my clients' animals daily routines, because their comfort comes first. It’s never about my schedule—it’s about maintaining what they know and trust. Just because their owners are away doesn’t mean their routine should change. I love taking pictures, so you'll have great photos of your animals while you are away. This is my full time job. Nice days don’t go to waste!!! Your pet(s) and I will be outside playing, running around, and a walk around the neighborhood (if allowed). I respect every home by keeping it tidy and cleaning up after myself. If you need a good spring clean and organizing, my services are always available: Dust, vacuum, organize, picking up poop, taking the trash out, grabbing the mail, watering plants, picking weeds… you name it, I will do it!
“Michael did a fantastic job of taking care of my two cats! I was gone for a two week trip and he made sure they had all that they needed. When I returned the cats were happy and well taken care of. This was the first time I was away from them for a significant period of time, and Michael made sure to keep me well updated. I would definitely trust Michael to take care of my cats again!”

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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Pinehurst stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Pinehurst with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
