Hannah did such a great job looking after our kitty! We have an indoor cat who likes to sit on the porch during summers and Hannah brought Anna-Murph outside every day to give her air/bird-watching time. We trusted Hannah in our house while away for vacation and she was incredibly respectful of not only our kitty but also our home. Hope to use her again in the future!

Mary is our new go to gal!! We just moved to the area and she accepted a short notice watch for our pups for the weekend. She handled their meds and love so well and kept us updated with pictures and notes; great and timely communication. She was also super flexible for us when our plans changed. Can’t say enough good things!

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.

About: My background spans everything from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I do not just monitor pets, I actively engage them. I focus on positive reinforcement, structure, and maintaining your exact home routine. Owners trust me because I treat their pets like my own. You will receive consistent updates, clear communication, and total peace of mind while you are away. Because I work from home, your pet receives my full attention. My flexible routine ensures consistent neighborhood walks, frequent potty breaks, and dedicated companionship all day long. Whether you need overnight boarding, interactive playdates, daily walking, or quick potty breaks, I easily accommodate your schedule. I offer a safe home environment with one friendly dog for constant companionship. Our routine includes daily leashed neighborhood walks and optional off-leash socialization trips to Martin Dog Park. I also provide secure crating at night for a safe, restful sleep.

If you want peace of mind for your pets while you are away, Holly will give you that!! She is wonderful. We loved getting the daily updates and photos/videos. The kitties were comfortable with Holly. She made them feel loved and well taken care of. She even went out of her way to bring in our house Amazon boxes that were delivered. We love Holly and will be booking with her again each time we are away!!

About: I grew up with dogs most of my life and have a dog of my own now. I’m an experienced pet sitter and have watched multiple friend’s dogs before as well as my parent’s special needs elderly dachshund/lab mix who needed extra care and attention. I also volunteer at a local dog rescue. I love all dogs and feel like I have a special bond with them! My own dog, Remy, has some separation anxiety so I know how important it is to have a communicative dog sitter you can trust. I work from home and ensure that I have time in my schedule to give my own dog and the dogs I watch the needed attention and exercise. I have a flexible schedule and can take them on multiple walks a day if needed. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but I am diligent about taking your dog out and live in a great neighborhood to walk dogs! I don’t crate my dog but I am happy to do it if that is best for your dog. My dog, Remy, is only 8 pounds so I can only accept dogs that do well with smaller dogs. Remy does well with other dogs. He goes to other Rovers who have dogs and goes to day care occasionally. He’s a little shy so it takes a little bit to warm up but he always ends up making a friend.

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.

About: I love dogs so much that my doormat says, “Dogs Welcome, People Tolerated.” (Ha!) I’m a responsible, trustworthy professional who grew up surrounded by dogs, horses, and all sorts of farm critters. I’ve worked as a vet tech and trained hunting and scent-detection dogs, so I know how to handle everything from high-energy pups to sugar-faced seniors. I also have decades of experience training and competing horses, which makes me equally comfortable doing barn chores. During the work week I take care of pets both early mornings and evenings and provide mid-day potty breaks. On weekends and holidays I am flexible and offer longer walks or hikes and different enrichment activities.I enjoy taking boarders to local SniffSpots to run and play. I care for pets where they are most comfortable, whether that is in their own home or with me. I live in a bottom floor apartment (no stairs for senior dogs) and do not have a fenced-in yard, but take lots of leashed walks (rain or shine) and also have access to a private dog park for off-leash playtime. One adult dog lives in the home, he is neutered and plays well with other dogs. Due to insurance restrictions, I cannot take dogs that are aggressive, dominant, chewers/destroy furniture or bark a lot (or refuse to stop barking when asked).

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. Let's schedule a meet-and-greet to discuss how I can provide the best care for your beloved companion. Your dog's happiness is my goal! Contact me to book your pet's next adventure with me! 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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Southern Pines

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Southern Pines on Rover is $23.31 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 930 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Southern Pines. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
