“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! 🫶🏼🫶🏼”
“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!”
“Emerald helped us with our dog at very last minute, before even having met him or our family, and she did a wonderful job. She was on time and thorough with her walks and care of our dog. She also left us notes in rover about his status and whether or not he pooped/peed and was fed. We appreciated everything she did so much and will surely hire her again!! Thank you!”
“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!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 18. I taught my dog play dead. I also taught my mom’s dog to have great recall. I love dogs and am very passionate about them. I am currently working almost full time but I am available 2 days for sure free. I will also come before and after work to make sure that the pets are ok! I will make sure anything that could be poisonous will be out of reach. I will also check that the animals are acting like their normal selves.
“Jessica was an absolute lifesaver. My dog had just bitten a neighbor around 5pm, and I was overwhelmed and unsure if I could even trust someone new with him. But Jessica showed up just a few hours later at 8pm—calm, confident, and completely unfazed. She handled him with care and patience, and he actually responded really well to her. I couldn’t believe how smooth it went given the circumstances. Her professionalism and quick response gave me so much peace of mind when I really needed it. Highly recommend her to anyone, especially those with reactive or anxious dogs!”
“Kelly was AMAZING! She made us feel so comfortable going out of town and leaving our fur baby at home. She did drop in visits for us & sent loads of updates each time. The peace of mind she gave us is priceless!!”
About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, I have worked with a wide variety of dog and cat breeds, personalities, ages, and needs. From energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets requiring extra attention, I understand that every animal is unique and deserves personalized care. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering basic medications, providing companionship, maintaining routines, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am comfortable caring for multiple pets at once and have experience with pets of different sizes, temperaments, and activity levels. As a dedicated pet lover, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing reliable, compassionate care and giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in trusted hands. As a stay-at-home mom of three children, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable and attentive pet care throughout the day. Being home most of the time means pets receive plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, exercise, and affection rather than being left alone for long periods. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for your pets to exercise and use the bathroom in a clean manicured area. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration, and cuddle time. My daily routine is built around caring for others, and I extend that same level of patience, responsibility, and attention to every pet in my care. Whether you need daytime visits, overnight care, or regular check-ins while you’re away, I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment where your pets feel comfortable and cared for like part of the family.
“Ann is the best! She is a wonderful communicator, even with some of my last minute chaotic requests! She takes such great care of my cat. I am so thankful for her and trust her whole heartedly!”
“Dustin and his girlfriend Karen provided exemplary service. They were very attentive and loving to our girls and did everything we asked for. They were professional yet still personable, and it’s very clear that they have genuine love for animals. We will be definitely using them again in the future!”
“I can’t thank Hannah enough for dropping in and checking on our pups while we were out of town. She accepted our request on the day of and on a holiday, no less! She was prompt on the visits and sent us pictures every time. The dogs loved her. Highly recommend! Thanks, Hannah!”
“Samantha did an amazing job with my three cats! They are very spoiled and needy and require a little of extra attention. She was very attentive and sent a lot of pictures so I was able to see her interactions with them. I could not be more pleased with the service she provided. My cats are my babies, and it felt great that I knew I could trust her completely!!”
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.

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 $17.76 per visit (as of July 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 449 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Southern Pines. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:

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.
