“Annie was awesome with our golden retriever Charlie! We did a meet and greet a few weeks prior which I thought was a wonderful idea. During his stay at her house, she was very diligent about sending photos and made us feel at ease that she was taking such great care of him so we could truly enjoy our family vacation. We could tell Charlie made himself right at home at her place and he seemed to get along great with her pups. We ended up asking her if she could keep him longer as we were wanting to extend our vacation. She was very accommodating and added the additional days to the booking right away. She is very responsive which is so appreciated. We would absolutely recommend her to others. We would love for Charlie to stay with her again in the future! Thank you Annie!!”
“Lucia is AMAZING! She cares for my pups like they are her own! She always sends pictures and updates me a couple of times per day ❤️ The pups always come happy and tired!”
“Jennifer was wonderful with our dog, Pepper! She was responsive, flexible, and very friendly throughout the stay. We appreciated the updates she sent, including photos from the weekend, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from her messages that Pepper was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Jennifer and her family were so sweet with her, and it was heartwarming to hear how much they enjoyed having Pepper around. Communication was great from start to finish, and we always felt like Pepper was in good hands. It’s obvious Jennifer genuinely loves dogs. She took the time to get to know Pepper, and it showed in the thoughtful updates she shared. Pepper came home happy and relaxed, and we could tell she had been well cared for. We would absolutely book with Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative sitter!”
“I cannot say enough great things about this dog sitting family! My two dogs absolutely adored their two kiddos! They enjoyed playing outside with the family's dog, Yogi. Even Rowen, who usually prefers staying inside, joined in on the fun and had a wonderful time.🤗 I felt at ease the whole time I was out of town because they kept me updated and sent pictures. 10/10 would recommend 👌🏽”
“Melanie is an incredible dog sitter. She worked with me on short notice, is very welcoming, and made me feel that my dog will receive the love and care I wanted. Communicates often so you know that your dog is well”
About: Like everyone else on this app, I love dogs, and grew up with German Shepherds However, I started on the rover app because I wanted to provide something I thought was missing… reliable pet care for high energy and athletic dogs. I travel a lot and the last thing I want to worry about is if my 70 pound GSD is wearing out the kind old lady I left her with because that’s who was available. Rest assured, if you leave your dog with me for work or for play, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. Need daily runs or multiple walks a day? Good. We run every day. Need yard play time? Not a problem. Extra belly rubs? Easy. Is your Dog a couch potato? I have a couch and have happy to give rubs and chill out. The point is, weather for a week or a weekend, if you leave your dog with me, you can focus on where ever your travels are taking you. I have a pretty demanding full time job. I’m only available for boarding in my home. If I’m home, your dog has 100% of my focus. I have a very well trained and very social GSD and a large fenced in yard. I also have rooms I can fence off to give your dog some space. I’m happy to play fetch, take multiple walks, and daily runs if needed.
“Jackie was so amazing!! She sent so many photos of our pups and even brushed them, gave them a bath and sent them home with some treats and bandanas. She was very communicative and flexible when our travel plans changed. We will 100% be booking with her again!!”
“Taylor has done an excellent job on sitting our Kiki. She kept us updated with Kiki's daily activities with photos. Although there is a huge size difference between Kiki (11 lbs) and Taylor's dog, Sadie, a regular size golden retriever, they two get along and play together very well. From the shared pictures we can tell Kiki felt comfy and looked happy whether she was inside of Taylor's house or outside at the yard, which gave us peace of mind so we can truly enjoy our trip. We are thankful to Taylor's effort and will ask Taylor for help again for our future trips.”
“I’m always a little nervous leaving my dogs somewhere new, especially with one of my dogs being a little temperamental towards other dogs. Haley was fantastic and made them (and me) super comfortable and they had a blast! I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Nathan and Courtney are good people who opened their home to our beloved dog, and also to us when we paid them a visit. Excellent almost daily communication with pictures were provided. Penny was taken on daily walks, and also entertained by their gentle kitties, dog and other barnyard pets! She was calm and happy when we picked her up.”
“Tania was very friendly and caring with our pet. She’s patient attentive and provides an overall safe nurturing home environment. I will definitely continue to use her services and highly recommend her.”
“Kelli did an amazing job watching my 2yo GSD! Great communication with pictures and videos! We did a meet and greet before hand making sure everything was going to be great! I will definitely be using Kelli in the future to watch my boy!”
“Kasey and Adam are our go to dog sitters! There’s no piece of mind better than knowing your dog is on its own vacation having a blast with tons of other pups! They are the nicest people and my dog Ellie absolutely loves them!”
“Jurnee had such a great stay with Zuleyka! She sent daily pictures and provided me with updates about her stay. Her family was very welcoming to Jurnee and myself. I will definitely rebook in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Southern Pines
The best experience I’ve ever had with someone watching my babies. I was able to relax on my trip and not worry about them at all. Annie sent a ton of pictures so I didn’t have to worry. They went on lotsss of walks and got all the snuggles. I will 10000% be using her again! Couldn’t recommend her enough!!
Desiree and her family were absolutely wonderful with Noodle! It was clear that he was well cared for, happy, and treated like part of the family. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. I would highly recommend Desiree and will definitely be using her again!
Cayla is amazing!!! She took great care of our baby while we were gone. She understood how much love Nash needed as he’s not away from us for more than 2 nights and trust me he felt the love. He didn’t want to leave! I hope Cayla has room for Nash the next time he needs care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Southern Pines is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 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 of October 2026, there are 431 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Southern Pines. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in Southern Pines can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Southern Pines home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Southern Pines.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Southern Pines sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
