About: Finding someone you trust with your pets is a big deal—whether you need a regular midday walk, a drop-in while you’re away, or someone to settle in with them overnight. My goal is simple: keep your pets happy and comfortable, stick to the routines they know, and give you one less thing to worry about. With 10 years of pet care experience, I’ve learned that every animal is different. I pay attention to the little things—their personalities, habits, comfort levels, and all those quirks that make them them. Some want long walks and plenty of playtime, some are happiest curled up beside me on the couch, and others need a little patience and space before deciding we’re friends. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are. You can count on regular updates, plenty of photos, and communication you won’t have to chase down. Whether I’m there for a 30-minute visit or making your home my home base while you’re away, I take the responsibility seriously. That means thoughtful care for your pets, respect for your home, and attention to the little details that help everything run smoothly. At the end of the day, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are in good hands—whether I’m part of their everyday routine or caring for them while you’re away. And yes, they’re probably getting a few extra cuddles along the way! 😊 My schedule is flexible, which allows me to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for rather than trying to squeeze them in around a traditional workday. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening care, whether that’s a regular part of your pet’s weekly routine or a little extra help when you need it. I’m intentional about how I schedule bookings, so I’m not rushing from one pet to the next. For house sitting, I make your home my home base while you’re away and plan my day around your pets and their normal routine. I may come and go throughout the day, just as I would at home, but I’m mindful of how long your pets are comfortable being alone and make sure they get plenty of time, attention, and company. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re usually happiest and most comfortable. I follow your instructions closely and take the time to learn what’s normal for your pet—from their routine and personality to the little things that help them feel safe and settled. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, medications, feeding routines, and any special instructions specific to your pet and home. I’m also respectful of the trust that comes with being welcomed into someone’s home. I’ll care for your space thoughtfully, keep you updated along the way, and pay attention to anything that seems out of the ordinary. My goal is for you to feel confident that both your pets and your home are in good hands.
About: Hello! I'm a 40yo female and long time animal lover. I had a small farm in Texas and I've always had xlarge breed dogs since being on my own. I am well versed in handling dogs and any protective behaviors, as well as any exercise level you need supported. I also have done shots (in horses), giving pills, and handling any ointments your pets may need. My current schedule is open, so I can come to you, whenever it's needed. I am currently working on a Bachelor's Degree and have a very flexible schedule; I can do walks and overnight stays to keep your pet comfortable whenever you need. My pets always had a schedule, so I'm happy to help keep you and your pets stay on a regular schedule. I am used to dogs needing walks and meal time in the mornings and the evenings, as well as some breaks in the afternoon; just let me know your needs and we'll get it worked out.
“Chrissy went above and beyond for my two dogs. She was very sweet and the pups loved her as soon as they met her! Chrissy was very quick to respond and gave me detailed updates along with pictures. There were times when I didn’t have cell service and something came up, she handled it perfectly. If you need to leave your pets with someone, I’d highly recommend booking with her. 🙂”

“Izzy was great with my German Shepherd! She was punctual and made sure he got his breakfast and medication. She took lots of pictures and left detailed updates on her visit. I would definitely trust her with my pup again! :)”


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.
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats, including my own pets as well as pet sitting for friends and family. While I’m new to Rover, I’m definitely not new to caring for animals! I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different personalities and needs, from energetic pets who want lots of playtime and walks to more reserved pets who need patience and time to warm up. I can help with feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, litter boxes, playtime, medications, and other needs that are part of your pet’s normal routine. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets when you can’t be there, and I’ll treat them with the same attention and care I give my own. I work full-time, primarily during evening and nighttime hours, which gives me plenty of daytime availability for pet care! My work schedule varies from week to week, so I often have weekdays and daytime hours available when many pet owners are at work. I keep my Rover calendar updated to reflect my availability and am happy to work with you to find visit or walk times that fit your pet’s normal routine. On my days off, I have even more flexibility for multiple drop-ins, walks, and pets who may need a little extra attention. Feel free to reach out with the dates and times you need—even with my unconventional schedule, I may be available! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I’ll follow their normal routine and your instructions closely, including feeding, medications, walks, and any special needs. I’m careful with doors, gates, and leashes, respectful of your home, and happy to provide updates so you know your pet is safe and well cared for.

About: Hi everyone! My name is Madison and I have experience with petsitting for about 7 years but have started growing my business (Maison Concierge) most within the past two! I’ve had all kinds of pets in my home for as long as I can remember. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me for all kinds of services! I absolutely love spending time with and taking care of all kinds of pets! I currently make my own schedule and work hourly so I have pretty open availability but in pieces. I pride myself on having flexibility & availability! I am always willing to work around my schedule if it conflicts! I prefer to provide care in the clients home but would not be opposed to care taking place in my home! I have amazing references who I will be happy to send your way as requested… also please feel free to check out my reviews here on Rover!
About: I absolutely love dogs! I have had experience with tiny breeds as well as large breeds such as Newfoundlands. Please give me the opportunity to care for your pet. I’m the Practice Manager at a local veterinary clinic and have direct access to four veterinarians if a medical question or concern ever comes up. Pet safety and well-being are always my top priority. Availability • Midday care (12–1 PM): Limited to a very short driving distance from downtown Southern Pines due to my work schedule. • Evening care: Available throughout Southern Pines and Pinehurst. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and comfortable handling pets with special instructions or medical considerations. I always love to communicate with people on what their pet needs and what they like. Each pet has its own personality and I enjoy learning them as they were my own. For example my dog takes meds better by trickery but I have another that you have to put it in the back of her throat then she gives you angry teeth.

About: Hi! My name is Catalina and can't wait to take care of your four-legged best friend! I have been taking care of dogs (both my own and other peoples') since I was 10. I am a very active person and I would be honored to walk or dog-sit your dog! I understand each dog is unique and I take the time to get to know them and understand what makes each one happy. I am willing to take them on a run, play fetch or simply take them on a nice, long walk and of course, pamper them with love. There is no greater happiness for me than being with dogs and playing with them. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need more information.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pinehurst
Heather is an absolute Angel. Have no idea what we would have done without her assistance. She has been extremely helpful, knowledgeable, caring, on time and flexible with all of our needs to help with our new baby English Bulldog. Our puppy is super excited to see her each visit 😍 I recently had to have surgery on my foot ( was not planned ) I have never tried using a dog friendly app but this has truly worked out fantastic and would recommend this company and Heather to all of my dog owner friends 🧡 Big thank you again for the help I needed after my surgery with Abbie. We will definitely reach out again when we need additional services.✨️

Kathryn P. is truly one of a kind! She is incredibly sweet and attentive—not just to me, but especially to my dog, Patches, who absolutely adores her. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving hands whenever I’m away. Kathryn is also extremely thorough with every visit. She always sends detailed updates along with plenty of pictures, which I genuinely look forward to. It’s clear she goes above and beyond in every aspect of her care. What really sets her apart is her attentiveness—she actually caught signs of an illness before I even realized something was wrong with Patches. That level of care and awareness is priceless. On top of everything, she’s just an incredibly kind person—she even did my dishes one day while dog sitting! I can’t recommend Kathryn enough. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and truly treats your pet like her own.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Pinehurst. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

walkers on Rover set their own , 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 walker.
