“Melissa is Poppy‘s favorite! She is kind, loves animals, and always sends me tons of photos and videos. She seems to really care about Poppy, which makes me always feel safe, leaving her in her care —have already rebooked!”

About: I’ve had experience with the chillest of dogs to the most anxious and cautious. Growing up on a farm, I’ve had experience with numerous breeds with various needs. From fun-loving golden retrievers, to extremely anxious Australian Shepards and protective Pitbulls, I’ve learned how to handle a wide variety of dogs. I work from home and can be flexible with me schedule. Early morning check-ins, lunch break play dates, afternoon walks, evening entertainment - I’m your girl! I have a cat of my own who I would die for, so I know how important pets are to the people who love them! I also know how stressful it can be to leave them behind, especially when they’re used to having their person around. When caring for your pet, I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their routine as normal as possible, and give them the attention and enrichment they need. Every pet is different and I love getting to know their personality! I’ve cared for anxious pets that need extra reassurance, cuddle bugs, playful pets that want attention all day, and pets are happiest having their own space. Growing up with numerous cats and dogs, along with pet sitting for others, I’ve learned that every pet has unique needs. I’ll care for your pets the way I would want someone to care for my own and I’ll send lots of updates and pictures so you can feel confident they’re happy, safe, and getting lots of love while you’re away (:
About: I have been working with animals for over 30 years. I was a Vet Tech, kennel manager, and currently a pet groomer. I have worked with puppies as well as exotic animals and birds. I am very responsible and I really pay attention to detail, or any problems I see. I can do nail trims on all animals. Dogs, cats, birds, exotics and more. I am currently working but very flexible with my schedule. I am my own boss so no need for permission lol Available any day of the week. Including nights, weekends, and holidays. I currently have 3 dogs in my home. A Huge back yard in a very private neighborhood. It’s very safe and no traffic with great streets to walk.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me time and time again to look after their pets (and even their plants), and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I share my home with my sweet lab mix, Congo, and my newly adopted cat, Mayo, who bring so much joy into my life. I’ve also spent years house‑sitting and pet‑sitting, and my time working in the local restaurant industry has taught me to be dependable, patient, and attentive. I treat every pet with the same love and comfort I give my own! I’m a local college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, and consistent care. I follow safe walking practices with secure leash handling and close awareness of my surroundings. I also stick to your dog’s usual training and routine to keep them comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid! I have 3 dogs of my own who I love so dearly. I have been relied on by friends, family, and neighbors to watch their pets. I work in Southern Pines so I am typically able to schedule 30 minute walks during my lunch break. I can do longer walks before or after normal working hours (8-5). At the moment, I do not care for pets in my own home. However, I am more than happy to care for your pets in your home so that they are comfortable!
About: I’ve loved animals since I was small, but am too queasy for the veterinary career. My life has thrown me multiple curveballs in the last few years, and I want to assist other people when life throws them curveballs!! I work full time in hospitality, with a varying schedule but am flexible!! I want to provide whatever services you need for whenever life happens! I will care for your babies in whatever way they need!! Whether that be varying personalities, just needing someone to hang out with them, or monitor their conditions and contacting vets if needed
About: I’ve always had pets since I can remember and have loved taking care of my own as well as friends family and neighbors for many years I’m available to fit in drop ins and walks very easily in my schedule. I have most days free and would love to take care of your babies I’m available to provide safe, loving care to your pets. I will make sure they are fed, pottied, played with and given love. I’m able to give meds and crate dogs as well
“Jennifer was on it! I needed her last minute help and she quickly responded and remained responsive the duration. She was accommodating and flexible and great pet care. I’m looking forward to having her contact for future bookings.”
“Taylor watched our two dogs over a long weekend and did an amazing job! She was communicative, punctual, and treated our dogs like her own. She gave them plenty of playtime, attention, and love, which made it so much easier to relax while we were away. We’re so grateful for her care and would absolutely recommend her!”

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!
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.
Mark was amazing! He was extremely attentive during each visit and communicated really well, sending lots of photos that gave us total peace of mind. He truly went out of his way to keep us updated on how our furry baby was doing. We had to book last minute, and even though it was a hectic time because of the holidays, Mark was more than willing to work with us. That meant so much to us. We will absolutely be using him again and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring! 🫶🏼🫶🏼

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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

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.
