“Wendy has been amazing! So flexible and willing to adjust when our plans changed. Our dog has been well cared for and Wendy gave us peace of mind while we were traveling.”
“Sherry was great! Very responsive, asked good questions, and answered promptly. Took good care of our two high-energy pups! Our home was neat and tidy, just like we left it. No problems or concerns. She was great to work with! Will use her again next time we’re headed out of town!”
“We were gone for a week out of state and used Jasmine and she was amazing. Kept us updated on our fur babies, took them on walks, and kept our place neat and tidy! Would love to use her again”
“Peyton is an amazing sitter!! She stepped in last minute for me when my previous sitter canceled after I had already left. I appreciate her communication, photos, and extra treats and love she provided to my two goldens and great pyr. The doggos were very happy to have her watch them from all their facial expressions in the photos. I would definitely look for Peyton next time they need sitting thank you so much!”
About: I have had dogs since I was born and I've been pet sitting since high school when neighbors and family friends needed someone. I've taken care of young and energetic puppies, dogs with medical needs, big dogs, small dogs, and everything in between. I have experience providing potty walks and playtime as well as overnight sitting for 1-2 dogs at a time. I have a special love for dogs and I look forward to being your dog's new best friend! I currently work 1-2 days at a pickleball club and am an online MBA student. I am available to take care of pups on weekdays and weekends at all times of the day! I will follow what the dog is used to for their health, safety, and trust. I can walk dogs on a leash or let them outside without one. Inside the house, I will do as the owner says for spaces the dog is able to be or in a crate. If the dog is seeming uncomfortable or unsafe at any point, I will contact the owner.
About: I have taken care of dogs for 5 years whether it is walking dogs in my neighborhood, help pet sit dogs, or volunteering at animal shelters. I’m currently in a full time roll during the week Monday- Thursday until 5 pm and I am unavailable but Fridays after 12 pm and all day on most Saturday and Sunday I am free. I have a fenced yard and 2 of my own dogs to help keep your dog entertained. Everyone is allowed to ROAM FREELY in the house when we are home, but for their safety, especially with pups from different families, they will need to go to their designated doggy areas when we have an errand to run. Rest assured we are able to provide PLENTY of potty breaks during their stay! :)
“Olivia was punctual in arriving. Our dogs really enjoyed her sitting, especially our Dobie puppy. Both our dogs were absolutely pooped from so much playing after Olivia’s sitting. We will have Olivia over again soon.”
“Jada was amazing with our three fur babies while staying in our home. This was the first time in a long time that we trusted someone outside of family or friends, and we couldn’t be happier with her care. She was fantastic with our dogs, kept us updated with texts, and was always responsive to our messages. When we returned home, our dogs were happy, and their routines remained unchanged. We will definitely be using her services again!”
About: I work at a dog boarding & training facility. I have been the trainer there for 5 years now. I personally have 4 Belgian Malinois & 1 German Shepherd. I’m currently working full time as a dog trainer at a dog boarding facility but I am available any day after 3pm & anytime during the weekends! I always make sure dogs are secure when taking them on walks whether that be their harness or making sure the collar is tight enough that it doesn’t slip off.
“We initially did a meet a greet a few days beforehand and all went smooth. On the day of sitting Kaitlin was punctual and ready. We received updates and photos of our Dobie pup during the sitting. All sitting instructions were followed and Kaitlin did a great job during the 10 hours she sat our pup at our house. We will use Kaitlin again and will recommend her to others.”
“Our first time using Tammy to sit our 3 high maintenance dogs went extremely well. Tammy is a dog person, that's obvious. But also the house we came back to after 8 days was just as we left it. And she watered our plants. We highly recommend Tammy for live in dog sitting.”
About: Hi! I’m a British animal lover who’s recently moved to The Woodlands, and I’d love to help care for your furry family! I’ve grown up around dogs of all shapes and sizes, so being around animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’m also a proud dog mum to two mini dachshunds (my little weiner dogs!), so I know just how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with them. I regularly volunteer at Montgomery County Animal Shelter, where I’ve gained valuable experience caring for animals with different personalities, needs and temperaments. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or simply loves a good cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved. I’m happy to care for both dogs and cats and will treat your pets as if they were my own. I understand that every animal is different, and I’ll always take the time to get to know their individual routines, quirks and needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles or simply keeping your pet company while you’re away, you can count on me to provide loving, reliable care and plenty of updates for your peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family! ❤️🐶🐱 I have a very flexible schedule as I’m not currently working, so I’m available for pet care throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate a variety of schedules, whether your pet needs regular walks, drop-in visits, day care or overnight sitting. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine and work around what suits you both best! 🐾 I offer loving, reliable pet care in the comfort of your own home, helping your pets feel safe and settled in their familiar surroundings while you’re away. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime and any specific care or medical instructions. Whether your pet is full of energy, a little shy or simply loves company and cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and care. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets with someone you trust, so I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates to give you peace of mind. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own and respect your home as if it were mine. Every pet is different, so I’m always happy to do a meet and greet prior to the booking, discuss their individual needs and routines beforehand to ensure they have the best possible experience! 🐾❤️
“Jazmin took wonderful care of my 6 month old golden retriever while I was out of town. She kept me updated throughout her whole stay with Lainey. I would feel 100% confident having her back as a repeat sitter in the future. She is awesome!”
“Claire was a perfect fit for my fur babies. They loved her. ♥️ So nice to have someone you can trust stay in your home and take such good care of my babies and my home. She sends lots of pics and updates. Shes a keeper in my book.”
About: I grew up with cats and love adding rescues to the family. I have been pet sitting for 5 years from pitties to kitties, I've watched them all. I currently work from home and only go to classes in the AM. I am always home in the evenings and have plenty of time to spend with your beloved pet. I have 2 cats and 1 very cat friendly dog. My lovely Athena (dog) will respect your pets boundaries and has shown no aggression towards cats. Your pet will have their own space when boarding with me. This is a room with their own litter, bed, toys, and essentials. I will be the sole care provider for every animal.
About: I have had dogs my entire life. As a child we always had dogs and as an adult I have always owned a dog. I pet sit friend's and family's dogs. I have always been successful with house training and training dogs to stay off of furniture etc. Living with and loving dogs, I find, is the best kind of therapy. They offer and deserve unconditional love. For me, dogs are family members!🐕🦺🦮🐕🐶❣ I do not work and I live alone so my schedule is completely up to me. I am very flexible and accommodating. I will work with your needs. I am mature so I know the importance of taking on the responsibility of your home as well as your fur babies. I am very clean too. You will find your home as clean or cleaner than you left it. I can also water plants and retrieve mail. Let me ease your worries while you are away from home. I do not work so my day is very flexible, your pup's schedule will become my schedule! I am free to follow whatever routine you have in place for your dog. I will care for your pets in your home exactly as you do. I request a list of routines and special instructions to make it easier on us both.
“Gabby did a great job house sitting and taking care of our three dogs for an entire week over the Christmas holiday. She was attentive to details, kept us informed every day, and sent us tons of photos. We will definitely ask Gabby to sit our dogs again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Pinehurst is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $55 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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 sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pinehurst. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
