She did an amazing job, and I would definitely book with her again! ❤️”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. I love working with them and loving them while their pet parents are away. I have about 6 years under my belt with housesitting a dog, about 2-3 dogs at a time. I am available full time from July 8-12th but after that I’m available on Thursdays, Saturday and Sunday full time. I work as a school teacher during the year, so I can help after school hours which is after 4:30pm. I am loving, patient, and respectful while watching your pets in my clients home. I love playing with them, can take them for walks, and cuddling with them. I am confident in schedules and crating the animals when needed and able to keep your animals safe and happy while you’re gone. I will love them and make sure they’re happy and healthy.
“Kristal is awesome, respectful, timely, communicative, and SO great with our two dogs. One of our dogs (Fritz) is totally in love with her and won't leave her alone when she's over. To me, that says everything about how she is with our dogs.”
“If I could give 10 stars I would. Jackie took such amazing care of our pups and home. Communication was great. Our house and dogs were calm and clean after being gone for 10 days. Jackie went above and beyond in every way, and we are so thankful to have found her.”
“We were looking for a pet sitter on relatively short notice. I was impressed with Tessah's work experience with animals and her passion for them. She was able to come and stay with our pets (2 dogs, 3 cats plus a foster mama cat and her babies) and we will definitely contact Tessah when we need a pet sitter in the future. I appreciated the prompt and clear communication as well as the pet pictures. Even our shyest cat came out to say hi!!”
“Melanie did a great job watching our dog and taking care of our home over a long weekend! We were a bit nervous since our dog is very old and picky, but she took to Melanie quickly and Melanie made the whole process super easy. We received tons of cute photos throughout and we returned home to a happy pup and well taken care of home. We would absolutely recommend Melanie to others for all dog-sitting/house-sitting needs.”
“We have used Madison twice now to watch our 2 large breed dogs and cannot say enough good things! She was great about communicating with us and giving updates on our dogs. She also watered all of our plants and kept the house very clean. We would highly recommend her!”
About: Growing up, my home was a zoo, as I had two cats, a dog, several fish, and a turtle! I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12 years old, petsitting for family, friends, neighbors, and more! Once I got my license, I started working as a petsitter more regularly with dogs and cats of every kind all over town! I have also worked a part-time summer job at a dog boarding facility since 2018. Here, I assist with daily facility operations and client communication and deliver attentive care by monitoring feeding schedules, exercise, safety, and overall wellbeing of the dogs. Looking forward to meeting and loving on your fur babies! I am a college student home for the summer and do not currently have a job. This means that I am very flexible and available to provide pet care in the Pinehurst area until I move back in on the 14th of August! I am used to waking up at 5:30 every morning, so I have plenty of time to get all my ToDo's done and work pet care into my schedule! Depending on individual client needs, I always prioritize safety, health, and overall well being of the pets I care for. I make sure to keep a watchful eye on your fur babies, walk or exercise them daily (with no extra charge), and feed them according to the schedule provided by their owners. I keep doors locked at all times, and make sure to treat the environment I am in with respect by keeping things tidy and neat. I also will love on and pet your fur babies and send lots of pictures to you so you can see what your pet is up to each day!
“Brittany was wonderful. This was the first time I have left my dog, Cookie, at home with a sitter. Brittany took great care of her. She also took good care of the house. I got pictures and updates every day which gave me a comfort level that all was well. Definitely recommend her.”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Mae! She watched our Kingston this weekend while we took a short trip, and we were beyond impressed with the level of care, professionalism, and love she showed from start to finish. Mae stayed in our home, and from the moment she arrived, we could tell she genuinely cared about Kingston’s happiness and our peace of mind. She was incredibly respectful of our home everything was exactly as we left it. She followed routines perfectly, kept us updated throughout the weekend with thoughtful messages and pictures, and made sure Kingston felt loved and comfortable while we were away. It was such a relief knowing he was in his own environment, receiving one-on-one attention and care. When we returned home, Kingston was happy, and clearly well taken care of. As protective pet parents, finding someone we fully trust is no small thing, but Mae exceeded every expectation. We will absolutely be using Mae again for future trips. She’s responsible, kind, trustworthy, and treats Kingston as if he were her own. We truly couldn’t ask for a better sitter she will always be our go-to from here on out!”
“Taylor did a wonderful job taking care of my pup! He was attentive and communicated frequently with me. I never had to worry about my pup while I was away. My pup was so happy and I could tell he had a great time with Taylor! I would definitely recommend Taylor!”
“I have nothing but amazing things to say about Mary! I have two dogs that require medications and someone to stay in home with them. Mary came over before my trip to meet them and make sure she knew everything that was required to take care of my girls! Throughout my time away, Mary was very communicative with pictures and was always giving me updates about how my dogs were doing. She was extremely sweet and loving toward my dogs and I would recommend her to anyone who is apprehensive about leaving their dogs.”
“Ann was awesome! She was very good about communication through her weekend stay with our dogs! Very trustworthy and nice! We would definitely recommend her to anyone and would love to have her dog sit again!”
“Gabrielle was great! She kept me updated daily, sent pics, communicated well and best of all Thor seemed happy. And I felt great knowing she was at my house full time and not just running in and out to take care of him as time allowed. Would definitely recommend!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Pinehurst is $40

FAQs for House Sitting - Pinehurst
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pinehurst on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 411 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pinehurst. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Pinehurst walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Pinehurst maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pinehurst. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
