“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 was fantastic and we will definitely be requesting her to care for our boy again. We were worried about finding someone to do a drop-in visit for our boy with such short notice and during a holiday weekend but Victoria was quick to respond and even easier to book. During the M&G, she was personable and asked several questions to ensure that all of our needs and our boy's needs would be met while we were away. During the actual drop-in visit, she was punctual (yay!), sent us several pictures of our boy looking thrilled, and sent me a very detailed description of the visit. Her rate is also very reasonable and worth it since she really goes the extra mile for her client and his or her's furry family member. She also left some yummy treats which our boy loved! I would surely recommend her to anyone needing care for their pet(s).”
“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’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats, including my own pets as well as pet sitting for friends and family. While I’m new to Rover, I’m definitely not new to caring for animals! I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different personalities and needs, from energetic pets who want lots of playtime and walks to more reserved pets who need patience and time to warm up. I can help with feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, litter boxes, playtime, medications, and other needs that are part of your pet’s normal routine. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets when you can’t be there, and I’ll treat them with the same attention and care I give my own. I work full-time, primarily during evening and nighttime hours, which gives me plenty of daytime availability for pet care! My work schedule varies from week to week, so I often have weekdays and daytime hours available when many pet owners are at work. I keep my Rover calendar updated to reflect my availability and am happy to work with you to find visit or walk times that fit your pet’s normal routine. On my days off, I have even more flexibility for multiple drop-ins, walks, and pets who may need a little extra attention. Feel free to reach out with the dates and times you need—even with my unconventional schedule, I may be available! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I’ll follow their normal routine and your instructions closely, including feeding, medications, walks, and any special needs. I’m careful with doors, gates, and leashes, respectful of your home, and happy to provide updates so you know your pet is safe and well cared for.
“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!”
“Mary took excellent care of my cat while I was gone. She is friendly, attentive, and made sure she understood the care and medications my cat needs. Her drop-ins were on-time, and her updates and pictures were outstanding. I'm glad to have been able to hire her for regular bookings, and I highly recommend her!”
“Alyson was awesome! I just moved to town and needed a last minute sitter. She was so quick to respond and the dogs LOVED her! They were so happy when I got home! Thank you Alyson!”
“Kelly did a great job looking after Chloe, our much beloved cat. She was on-time for her orientation, was personable, and attentive. She did a responsible, conscientious and thorough job in feeding and attending to Chloe. We definitely want to have her watch Chloe again in the future.”
“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!”
“We truly appreciate Tawny for checking in on our fur babies. We are even more grateful she was able to take a last minute booking. Thank you and we highly recommended Tawny.”
“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!”
“Megan was willing to help us out SUPER last minute. So grateful! She was great with communication and any modifications I had she was happy to help. So glad our boys were able to be home versus boarding they are much less stressed and without her it wouldn’t have happened!”
About: I grew up on a farm and have always been an animal lover. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats and small animal care. I have 2 dogs and 1 cat of my own and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to take care of your fur babies when needed. I also have experience with pet medication schedules, special diets and senior animals. I am a nurse and currently work PRN so I have a lot of flexibility to meet your pets needs. I am a nurse an currently work PRN so I have a lot of flexibility to care for your fur babies. I am an early bird so early morning visits/walks are no problem at all. I am available Monday - Friday and most weekends. My fur babies are my kids and I treat every furry face I meet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to keep a consistent routine for your pets that allow them to feel comfortable and safe. I have experience in medication administration schedules, special diets, exercise routines for any fur babies that may have physical challenges or disadvantages. My goal is to keep your pets safe, comfortable and entertained while you're away to allow you to feel confident that your pets are well cared for in your absence.
“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!”
“Kristal was incredibly responsible and communicative with me while she watched my cats and fish. I loved the pictures and videos she sent, and she provided me huge peace of mind while I was on vacation with my family. Kristal will definitely be our first choice next time we travel. ❤️🐾”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was a kid and I absolutely love animals of every kind. I am very active, I have lots of experience with dogs (including fostering 26 dogs and puppies through a local rescue) and I can provide basic training, as well as baths, and lots of love while you are away! My goal for every booking is for your pets to feel like they are the ones going on vacation at the same time their family is :) I have two dogs who are my everything so I always do my best to provide the same level of care I would want for my dogs when I’m away! I typically go for a walk in the morning and a walk at night with my dogs so I can provide lots of exercise if desired! I am also always happy to just provide lots of snuggles if that is more your dog’s speed! I never leave dogs outside unsupervised and provide lots of mental and physical exercise as well as lots of love. I’m happy to adhere to the pet’s standard routine as well to help ease the transition while you’re away!

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 $18.87 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 435 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.

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.
