“Heather is great! This was the first time I had left my babies with someone different and I was a nervous mama, but Heather did send me photos every day of my babies. If you are looking for a well qualified sitter, book it with Heather.”
“We booked Desiree pretty last minute to board our dog in her home, and we couldn’t be happier! From the beginning, Desiree was super responsive, accommodating, and easy to work with. She kept us up to date on how our girl was doing, and they were clearly having a great time together. I’m not sure Effie wanted to come home! She was clean, happy, and spoiled when we picked her up and we will definitely use Desiree again. 10/10 recommend!”
“Amber was an amazing sitter for my Sam. Right off the bat I could tell she loves animals, and her dog Hank was the sweetest boy. I received so many pictures of them playing, snuggling and enjoying life. I love that my dog was allowed everywhere hers was (furniture, etc.) She took them to the dog park and on walks frequently. Her condo is in a safe neighborhood and is secure. Amber is very personable and I am thankful I found such a great person to watch Sam while I am away. I will definitely be using her often! Highly recommend her services. Thanks Amber and Hank!”
“The best. Gave my furbabies lots of lovies and snuggles. I got lots of pictures and texts to let me know that they were just fine. After 8 days they came home happy and content. I got to enjoy my vacation without worrying about them. Awesome 🤩 ❤️”
“Lindy was an excellent sitter for my dog, Max. She was very accommodating and even squeezed him in at the last minute over the Thanksgiving break. She was super communicative, sent pictures and messages every day and a couple videos too when I first dropped him off because she knew I was a nervous Mom. She washed his sheet and slobber rags when I picked him up, gave him a refresh and sent him home with some puppy treats! Lindy will be the only person I will leave my Max with if my sister is not available, she was AWESOME!!!”
“Jessica was great in accommodating drop off and pick up times when it suited me best.. My much loved pup immediately felt Jessica’s great energy, and in no time at all was happily wiggling his tail in approval of the new friend he found. through my the stay, Jessica was always reachable, and I was kept updated on Beamer’s mini holiday :)..will surely book Beamer,s next stay with Jessica.”
“Melanie is not JUST an incredible boarder and dog lover, but an all around beautiful human. I immediately felt at ease about leaving my big boys with her when we met. She sent amazing photos, updates, and was extremely supportive and flexible when my times had to be adjusted. I am even thinking of boarding them with her once a month just because they loved her sooo much. 100,0000,000% Recommend!”
“Jackie did a wonderful job caring for our dogs. Our dog Rosie is about 50 pounds and had emergency surgery with a gnarly incision within a week Of our leaving for vacation. We were super nervous about leaving the dogs esp with that recent surgery, plus this was our 1st time using Rover. Jacki made us super comfortable with leaving our dogs with her. She sent us pics/status updates of the dogs and took them for walks. They adjusted well to being with her and were super happy when we got home too. We would absolutely use her again.”
“Rebeka was absolutely amazing with our dog. He was new to us and we had never boarded him before. She took the time to meet with us beforehand to make sure it was a good fit. She sent multiple updates and photos to help put me at ease. She listened to our requests and did a phenomenal job. I will definitely use her in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m your friendly neighborhood pet sitter—animal nerd, plant parent, and professional chaos manager 🌿🐾 From pocket-sized hamsters to majestic Great Danes, opinionated parrots to mysterious snakes, I love animals of every variety. Fur, feathers, or scales? I’m in. I approach pet care like a science and an art—learning routines, decoding body language, and adapting my care to match each pet’s unique personality (yes, even the dramatic ones). When I’m not hanging out with pets, I’m probably fussing over plants and making sure every living thing around me is thriving. Whether it’s following a color-coded care sheet, calming nervous pets, administering meds, or watering your beloved jungle, I’ve got it handled. You can head out knowing your pets (and plants!) are safe, spoiled, and genuinely cared for by someone who treats every home like a tiny ecosystem worth protecting. 🐈🌸🐶🐍🌱 Your furry, feathered, or scaly friends will be happy, safe, and well-loved while you're away! My wife and I recently made the move to Southern Pines from Florida and have been enjoying getting to know the community—especially its many pets! I believe good pet care starts with clear expectations, happy routines, and making sure every member of the household—furred, feathered, scaled, or leafy—feels safe and well looked after. I’m happy to offer pet sitting, house sitting, doggy daycare, and more. I have a large fenced backyard for safe playtime and live in a lovely, pet-friendly neighborhood, perfect for walks, adventures, or just soaking up some sun. Your furry, feathered, or scaly friends will be happy, safe, and well-loved while you’re away!
“Whitney was so great with both Poshka & Kolki. She sent updates & pictures. I felt very calm leaving both dogs with her from the beginning & I could tell they were very happy & well cared for when I picked them up. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Super satisfied with Natalie's service. She was very communicative through the whole weekend, and would always send pics of what they were up to. Will definitely use her again in the future.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Southern Pines is $35

Annie gave my two Poms the sweetest home away from home. They both have very *unique* personalities, and we could see immediately from her pictures that they had no problem being themselves and I couldn’t be happier that we found such a good match - we’d love it if she would watch them the next time we go away. Thank you Annie and family, and of course Pearl too, for being so welcoming and taking such good care of our Pom Squad.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Southern Pines on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 419 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Southern Pines sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Southern Pines landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Southern Pines home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
