About: I have very flexible hours and love taking care of pets with walks and lots of cuddles. I own two dogs and a cat that have very lovely lifestyles. Pet sitting works into my schedule because I am retired, and have a part time job working from home. I am up very early every day and am willing to sit with pets for awhile and also walk them. I care for my own pets daily. I am sure that when I leave a home after a drop in that the area is clean and safe for the pet.
“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!”
“Love Emerald and so did Harry. She was prompt with times agreed upon. Made time to visit and meet Harry prior to our trip. Left detailed follow ups and photos that allowed us to enjoy our time away.”
“Brittani is absolutely amazing! She was very prompt to respond to me when I needed her to check in on my pups. She understands the struggle of military families, so she gave us a helpful discount which was so thoughtful. She left a thorough, detailed, and informative note on how her visit went with them. She even followed up with me to clarify if she needed to feed them. I absolutely LOVE the pictures she took of them! I highly recommend Brittani!”
About: As a US Navy veteran and former firefighter/EMT, I bring a meticulous attention to detail that ensures your pet’s care instructions are followed precisely. You can rest assured that your beloved companion will be cared for on the agreed-upon date and time, and that they are in capable loving hands with me. I possess a profound affinity for animals and have extensive experience in providing care for a diverse range of animal breeds both feline and canine. I have dedicated over 30 years to nurturing animals of various sizes and complexities. My calming demeanor and compassionate approach enable me to treat your four-legged family members with the utmost care and affection. I am currently going back to college that is self paced and have pretty much an open schedule to care for your pets. I utilize my weekends to spend time with my family and prefer not to book pet care on weekends. I possess a professional mindset and work ethic. I will adhere to your care instructions as outlined and demonstrate respect for your property, pets, and time.
“Megan really came through when we were in a pinch last minute. She helped me figure out what services we needed to ensure comfort for my 2 dogs while we were away for one night. We settled on multiple drop-in visits in our home. She communicated well throughout our trip, letting me know of any slight scheduling changes and sent lots of pictures while visiting with my babies. The house was just as we left it when we arrived home, and the dogs were a lot less stressed than when we've boarded them at the vet in the past. We will definitely rebook with Megan in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of my own ever since I was a kid. I love animals and having any excuse to bond with them. I currently have a dachshund named Tucker who is 7 years old and I have a lot of experience working with other people’s pets as a sitter. I am currently focusing on starting my real estate career so my availability may fluctuate but stay mainly consistent throughout my weekly routine. I will be mostly available during late morning to later hours I do not offer pet care in my own hone. I provide care for pets at client homes only. I believe pets should be surrounded in an environment they’re used to and familiar with.
“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 🐾”
“Ann has watched our dog a couple times. Very kind and attentive. My dog tends to be a diva, hates boarding at the kennels, but we leave her with Ann and we come back to a happy dog. Great dog sitter!”
About: I love animals especially dogs! I regularly volunteer at a dog shelter, have owned dogs my whole life, and believe every dog deserves to have the best day ever! I am available for walks, taking them to the park, playing fetch, or coming into your home for visits. I’m a registered nurse who loves to take care of dogs as well! I love walking my own dog and playing with other dogs to make sure they have a happy day I make sure the pets I’m caring for are safe, have water and food, activity, and a comfy place to sit, I am willing to follow your instructions
“While being out of town for four days, I had complete peace of mind that my four cats were being taken care of. Christy showed up at her drop in times and stayed long enough to take care of everything and interact with my cats. I would recommend Christy”
About: My background spans everything from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I do not just monitor pets, I actively engage them. I focus on positive reinforcement, structure, and maintaining your exact home routine. Owners trust me because I treat their pets like my own. You will receive consistent updates, clear communication, and total peace of mind while you are away. Because I work from home, your pet receives my full attention. My flexible routine ensures consistent neighborhood walks, frequent potty breaks, and dedicated companionship all day long. Whether you need overnight boarding, interactive playdates, daily walking, or quick potty breaks, I easily accommodate your schedule. I offer a safe home environment with one friendly dog for constant companionship. Our routine includes daily leashed neighborhood walks and optional off-leash socialization trips to Martin Dog Park. I also provide secure crating at night for a safe, restful sleep.
“She was great with the cats, and so communicative and sweet! Would highly recommend and will be rebooking with her for sure next time I go on a trip. Thanks Kimmie and kids!”
About: I will go the extra mile to make sure your pup is well loved, hydrated, fed, and exercised. I am new to the area and am eager to explore with a furry friend that I cannot financially support currently, so I will love and care for it like my own. I just moved to Southern Pines, and am looking for any kind of word I can. My experience having dogs in my house all my life has made me responsible and capable of taking care of any kind of dog. We have a very safe apartment complex that we take long walks around many times a day to keep your pup happy and comfortable. If your dog is also a competent swimmer we have a nearby lake with public swimming spots to enjoy.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who knows every pet has their own personality, quirks, and needs. As a pet parent to a beagle mix, a German Shepherd, and a cat named Oliver (who definitely runs the house!), I know pets are family. I've cared for friends' pets over the years and understand how important it is to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable while you're away. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a routine, I'll provide dependable, attentive care and treat them with the same love and attention I'd want for my own pets. You can count on me to honor their routine, stay in consistent communication, and send regular updates and photos so you always know how they're doing. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently a remote employee, and my availability will be updated on my calendar. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll do my best to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible. I know that pets are happiest when their routine stays consistent. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to make your time away as stress free as possible for both you and your pets.
“We love Ciera and definitely refer her to everyone! We are repeat clients of hers. She’s passionate about caring for our two puppies and even stops by to say hello to them if she’s in the neighborhood caring for other animals.”
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.

Mary is our new go to gal!! We just moved to the area and she accepted a short notice watch for our pups for the weekend. She handled their meds and love so well and kept us updated with pictures and notes; great and timely communication. She was also super flexible for us when our plans changed. Can’t say enough good things!
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!

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.

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.
