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 will adhere to your care instructions as outlined and demonstrate respect for your property, pets, and time.
“Christopher and Abigail are EXACTLY the folks you want taking care of your furry fam. I received excellent communication, thorough check ins, good feedback, and patience (as I was navigating this app for the first time and in a panic). I appreciate how well they listened and the notes I received. My house was in perfect order when I returned. My animals were happy and well taken care of. I could not ask for more!”
“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: Hello! I'm Hollis and I've been a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for furry friends of all shapes and sizes. I understand that dogs are a part of the family and it is important to find someone to treat and look after your pup as one their own. I have 2 rescues and a large breed dog who all have their unique personalities and quirks. So whether it's a playful pup or a senior dog needing gentle attention, I provide reliable and compassionate care tailored to each pet's needs. I also have experience training and working with service dogs along with working with therapy animals as a mental health professional specializes in animal assisted therapy . I have a senior golden girl who is partially deaf and has arthritis so I am comfortable working with senior dogs as well. Services Offered: Dog Walking: Regular exercise to keep your dog happy and healthy. Drop-In Visits: Quick check-ins for feeding, playtime, and potty breaks. Why Choose Me? Dependable: Your pet's well-being and routine are my top priorities. Experienced: I have had dogs all of my life and I have extensive training in understanding dog body language and behavior. Flexible: Customizable services to fit your schedule and your pet's preferences. Passionate: I treat every dog as if they were my own, with love and respect.

I am in the process of transitioning jobs that will give me more flexibility in my daily work schedule and I also work from home 2 to 3 days a week. During our meet and greet I will ask questions like how gates close, any holes in fences, if your dog is a digger, if your dog is leash reactive or reactive around other dogs, best way to enter the home so the dog isn’t scared or freighted, and how you would like your home locked up after the visit has been completed.
“Emma did a great job with our 5 year-old lab mix! She came over before the appointment to meet her and ask questions, and did a wonderful job preparing herself for the visit. I felt at ease knowing Emma would watch our Nova and she did not disappoint. Our precious dog sitter moved out of town so I am so thankful to have found another one to trust with our doggo! We will definitely be rebooking Emma!!”
“Brittani took such wonderful care of my dog Baloo while I was away this week! From the start, she was communicative, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. She made sure Baloo got plenty of exercise, love, and attention—and I could tell from the many photos and detailed updates that he was totally relaxed and happy in her care. Coming home to a content and well-cared-for pup says everything. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can fully trust with Baloo. Thank you, Brittani!”
“Lucia went above and beyond to make sure Darby was well taken care of and happy. She was prompt, incredibly communicative, and sent a ton of pictures! I have total peace of mind that she’ll continue to do a great job in the future and will definitely book her again and again. Worth every cent and then some!”

About: I’ve taken care of small and large dogs. I own an anxious queen who needs lots of special attention, and she’s taught me a lot of dog behavior and signs. I’m a teacher on summer break, so I have all day to spend exercising your pup! I take my own dog on lots of walks, but am mindful of the heat and need for hydration. I pay attention to what the dog is comfortable with and love on them like they’re my own (treats, pets, play, encouraging words, etc.). If they need space, though, I understand.

We love Holly and will be booking with her again each time we are away!!”

“Kyle did seven drop-in visits for my old English Bulldog, Drea, and we had a great experience. Drea is quite old, stubborn, and slow these days, and he handled this with patience and care. Drea has started having accidents in the house, and during one of the visits, Kyle noticed a huge pee accident on the floor, cleaned it up perfectly, and made sure Drea was comfortable. He was amazing!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Southern Pines stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Southern Pines choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Southern Pines with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Southern Pines. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
