“Melissa was absolutely wonderful and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my dog like her own. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos—it made such a difference knowing everything was going smoothly. She followed all instructions perfectly and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was happy and comfortable during each visit. It’s clear she takes her role seriously and genuinely loves what she does. I would 100% book with Melissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Victoria is our go-to sitter. She's amazing at communicating with us and takes the best pictures of our pets. She takes additional time on the small details, like even leaving a Christmas card and treats for the animals. Thank you Victoria.”
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.
“Alyson responded promptly, despite my very short notice. I was pleased. Her communications were clear. I was even more delighted when she connected with my dog in such a fun caring way. I had peace of mind when she cared for our pooch. She took notes in our meet and greet, and when we were gone for six hour for a game, she sent her arrival time, departure time and pictures for both her visits and was punctual and reliable. My dog has always had a dog sitter, some of whom haven’t been able to get my dog to go outside, and this was no issue for Alyson. Thank you. We enjoyed our time away, our team won and so did our pooch. We are grateful and would highly recommend.”
“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!”
“Samantha was amazing at every visit! Her communication was flawless and she is very reliable. She is patient and excellent with our shy dog mikalah. We will definitely look forward to rebooking with her, and highly recommend!”
“Meghan helped watch my two babies last minute and texted me constant updates with pictures included. I will definitely be using her again for all my out of town travel and will feel 100% comfortable leaving them in her care.”
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.
“I have booked with her many times and she always does an excellent job. One day while I was out of town, she even took the time to help a poor lost dog that had taken refuge on my front porch. She is a great pet sitter and a very compassionate person!”
“Kelly was amazing! She checked on both of our dogs for multiple days and took them on a walk each visit! Always on time, very loving and sent lots of pictures. We could not recommend her more!”
“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.”
“My godsend! She excels at communication and is punctual and flexible and my dogs love her. I don’t know what I would do without her. I was in a bind after another Rover person didn’t live up to her reviews and was able to step in and take over seamlessly.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Hannah is amazing! She dropped in and took care of our Benny when we had to go out of town. Hannah took care of him like he was her own, and she went above and beyond each visit. We knew right away Benny was in the best hands while we were gone. Highly recommend her for anyone. Thanks Hannah!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Southern Pines
Alanna did a wonderful job taking care of my kitten while I was away! She kept me updated with lots of details and photos of my cat, which I appreciated so much! I would definitely recommend Alanna and am so thankful for her amazing care and attention to Opal!
Samantha was so sweet and took amazing care of my two cats! She was extremely communicative, quick to reply, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She did great with my shy kitties, which meant so much to me. I’ve already rebooked her since then and plan to continue using her in the future. Highly recommend Samantha’s care!
Emerald has done check-ins for my cat a couple times while I was out of town. She is very caring and reliable. She sent updates and photos for each visit. I feel that she went above and beyond in her services. I could see that my cat felt safe and loved her from the photos she sent, but also when we got home he was happy as could be.
Lucia is pretty much the only one my shy scaredy cat likes, she immediately won Ave over and got Ave to trust her! I feel 1000x better when I’m gone knowing Lucia is there. Would HIGHLY recommend and will continue to rebook with her (pretty sure this is the third or fourth time - every one has been excellent). Also very communicative, responsible, nice and takes plenty of pics! Thank you so much, really appreciate you.
Megan took extremely exceptional care of our 2 Great Pyrenees and our cat Shelly! She was on time, fed them per our instructions and took the dogs on wonderful walks! Plus she took photos each time she was there. Megan even got a photo of Shelly cat which is amazing! Shelly never comes out to see anyone except us. That means Shelly completely trusted Megan! We will definitely have Megan take care of our fur babies on the next trip we go on!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Southern Pines on Rover is $17.88 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Southern Pines. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
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.
