“We had Ryan stay with our 2 dogs, Jade and Sienna and we are so happy we chose him. He took great care of them! They can be timid around new people and Jade takes a bit to trust, but Ryan got them to warm up and be best buddies right away. They were cuddle buddies from then on. He sent some pics too and we could see they were very comfortable with him. Ryan was always very good with communication too. He's a really great guy. Don't hesitate to book him as we certainly will be booking him again.”
“Barb was fantastic! We were very hesitant to leave our dogs with someone new; however, we are new to this area and needed to find someone dependable for when we are away. We definitely found that in Barb! She put us at ease quickly. During the meet and greet our dogs loved her and it was clear that she knew how to play with and care for dogs. Her genuine love for dogs was evident in the consistent communication and photos that she shared while we were away. We will definitely use Barb again and would highly recommend you giving her a try if you are in need.”
“Nicole was excellent! She kept in touch all day and sent pictures. She offered to stay a little longer when my flight got delayed. My mind was at ease the entire time. Will definitely be using her again to dog sit!”
“Sara was exceptional. She spent so much time and effort kissing and snuggling and just hanging in the yard with my babies that even my skittish Salty fell in love with her and kissed her to death. Couldn’t recommend Sara more highly.”
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful! She kept our home incredibly clean — you would have never known anyone had stayed here. She was very communicative throughout the entire time, sending multiple updates and pictures each day, which gave us so much peace of mind. She is friendly, professional, and clearly cares about the pets she watches. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter!”
“Thank you, Caitlin!! Caitlin was communicative and loving to Tuna. She took great care of her while I was traveling. I appreciate her very much and will rebook with her for any future trips!”
“We had a very last minute trip that Nina was amazing in accommodating! She is so sweet and communicative, always making sure we knew our dog was safe and having fun while we were gone. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Just delighted with Haley’s care of our pups and our home! She kept us informed and in the loop on their walks, feedings, and fun—even when we were having trouble with our international calling plan. The dogs were calm and well exercised, and the house was immaculate. Definitely recommend Haley and look forward to having her sit for us again.”
“Christina is truly the sweetest and most caring pet sitter! She has such a genuine love for animals and it really shines through from the moment we met and throughout the entire pet sitting stay. She kept us informed with lots of cute pictures and videos throughout the weekend, and was really on top of the specific needs for our senior dog.”
“Would absolutely recommend Forest as a sitter! Max was comfortable and happy while we were away. Max even followed him to the door while he was leaving, a little sad to see his new friend go!”
“Alyssa went above and beyond! Alyssa was great and was in contact when our one dog had an upset tummy. Took such great care of the boys and had the house looking better than when we left it. Will definitely book with Alyssa again!”
“Ciara was amazing, took her care of my cats and my dog who is a bit high maintenance. Upgraded me all the time and made me feel so comfortable and happy that I used rover to have Ciara stay at my house. My dog would have been so unhappy being boarded.”
“We had another great experience with Sarah. She was responsive and took great care of our dog as well as our home. She went above and beyond and we look forward to having her stay again.”
“Amanda was great with my 2 dogs. Kyra is a handful and she had patience and understanding with both of my dogs. She sent pictures and updated me regularly. I would recommend her and I will be rebooting her again.”
“Bri was communicative and took such good care of our pets (a senior dog, a cat and a fish) while we were away for the weekend. She also took great care of the house and was kind enough to bring in the mail and packages that arrived while we were away. We arrived home to happy pets who were obviously well cared for. I would definitely ask Bri to help us out again. Thank you Bri!”
“I was nervous using a new person from Rover after moving here and losing my old dog sitter. Jessica did great. She kept in touch with me as I am a crazy dog owner who has a boujee princess cockapoo whom I love like my child. Sent me a lot of pics too. Marlee loves her immediately. Will use again ?”
“She was very attentive to my dogs and did a great job occupying my high energy german shepherds. She sent plenty of photos and kept me updated. I'll definitely be asking her back in the future”
“Wow! 🤩 Noelle is deserving of ONE MILLION stars! She cared for my two senior and special needs dogs like they were her own! Going above and beyond with their special diet, schedule and administering insulin shots. BONUS: it look like housekeeping showed up before I arrived. Already rebooked for future dates 🌟”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pinehurst
We had Sarah stay with our pups when we went away for a weekend and we were very happy with our experience! She was very responsive and always kept us up to date with what was going on while we were away. She also cleaned up! We will definitely reaching out to Sarah to care for our fur babies again!
We had Jessica come stay overnight with our 6 rescue kitties for 3 days/nights. We never had anyone stay in our home or watch them before or used a pet service/rover before so we took a leap of faith after reading her profile and all these reviews! And so glad we did! She was sooo great and such a positive experience! She was so kind to the kitts, our home and us! (Not to mention she is such a cool human!) We got tons of pics daily and kept us in the loop throughout our trip. The relief we got knowing we could go away and get a break and know the kitties had great company and care was huge for us. We look forward to being able to go away in the future and having Jessica with our kitties in our home. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for peace of mind when away.
Erin was terrific!!!! She went out of her way to provide excellent care and attention to our 2 dogs. Both of our dogs are getting up there in age and one of them requires multiple medications which Erin took care of on a daily basis. She provided great communication and our home was well taken care of too. I highly recommend Erin as a pet sitter and would gladly use her services again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Pinehurst
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 569 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 87% 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.
