“Melissa was incredibly communicative and responsive, even accommodating a last-minute request, which I truly appreciated. She handled my puppy-brained lab so well, and he was completely relaxed by the time he got back!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 18. I taught my dog play dead. I also taught my mom’s dog to have great recall. I love dogs and am very passionate about them. I am currently working almost full time but I am available 2 days for sure free. I will also come before and after work to make sure that the pets are ok! I will make sure anything that could be poisonous will be out of reach. I will also check that the animals are acting like their normal selves.
“Tara was fantastic walking our stubborn hound dog while we were out of town. And just keeping him company when his stubborn self didn’t want to walk at all :) I had only met her the day before we left and Franklin could not have been in better hands. We received detailed and thorough reports after each walk and visit she had with him. We will definitely use Tara again in the future!”
“Always know our pup is in great hands! Love seeing the pictures from the day and getting details on how she’s doing! Tori takes great care for our dog and is always reliable!”
“Emetals stepped in on very short notice when my regular dog walker had an emergency, and she was amazing. She was incredibly responsive, warm, and worked with me to find the best schedule for my 7 month old puppy. What stood out most was how happy and relaxed my pup was when I got home. This tells me she felt comfortable and well cared for. That alone says everything to me about the care Emerald provided. I’d absolutely trust her with my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and genuinely caring.”
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.
“My dogs love Annie! Even my dog who typically does not like other people loves the little treats Annie brings and the walks she takes them on. My dogs were well taken care of and got to socialize with Annie's dog during their boarding stay. Annie is flexible and reliable and goes out of her way to be helpful. Highly recommend!”
“Heather is an absolute Angel. Have no idea what we would have done without her assistance. She has been extremely helpful, knowledgeable, caring, on time and flexible with all of our needs to help with our new baby English Bulldog. Our puppy is super excited to see her each visit 😍 I recently had to have surgery on my foot ( was not planned ) I have never tried using a dog friendly app but this has truly worked out fantastic and would recommend this company and Heather to all of my dog owner friends 🧡 Big thank you again for the help I needed after my surgery with Abbie. We will definitely reach out again when we need additional services.✨️”
“Kristen was wonderful and so communicative. She clearly loves dogs and understands their needs. We would love to continue having her take care of our pup and cannot recommend her highly enough!”
About: As a US Navy veteran and former firefighter/EMT, I bring a meticulous attention to detail that ensures your pet’s care instructions are followed precisely. 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 utilize my weekends to spend time with my family and prefer not to book pet care on weekends. I possess a professional mindset and work ethic. I will adhere to your care instructions as outlined and demonstrate respect for your property, pets, and time.
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: **Unfortunately due to the app taking 20% of my pay, I’ve had to increase my pricing. Happy to work around this and discuss further** I've had at least 10 years of dog sitting experience, however I grew up with animals of all sorts in my family. From reptiles, small animals, cats and dogs, I’ve cared for them all. I am definitely an animal lover, and will treat your pets as my own for the time they'll be with us! I'm not only responsible, and trustworthy, but I am available full time and have room for a flexible schedule. I am currently unemployed aside from rover, so I am available for frequent walks and play time. If you have any further questions, I am always open to meeting clients prior to them booking a service with me. Thank you ! I will spend a lot of time with them, making sure they’re comfortable and happy. I’m home all day since I go to school online, so I have plenty of time to watch and spend time with them. I love to go for long walks with the dogs, and take them to the local dog park to play (only if approved by owner) I treat my clients pet as if they’re my own, with care, attention and lots of love. I make sure they’re comfortable, and if they’re shy I give them the time and space to adjust. I have had experience with dogs and cats with many different personalities. You can trust that they will be taken care of & loved.
“Lucia went above and beyond to make my puppy feel comfortable and happy. Unbelievably great communication throughout, and an absolutely wonderful experience. I will go out of my way to make sure she’s the one I book with ALWAYS, just the best!! 🙏🙏”
“Izzy was great with my German Shepherd! She was punctual and made sure he got his breakfast and medication. She took lots of pictures and left detailed updates on her visit. I would definitely trust her with my pup again! :)”
About: Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve spent time looking after pets for friends, family, and neighbors—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I pay close attention to their personalities and needs so they feel right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I build my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I ensure each pet receives consistent attention, exercise, and care. I keep my schedule organized so I can be reliable and fully present for every visit. I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest and most relaxed. I stick to their usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, and downtime—so nothing feels disrupted while you’re away. I spend quality time with each pet, not just quick visits, and always make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. I also keep you updated so you have peace of mind.
About: I have owned and fostered dogs for years. As a stay at home mom, dogs will get plenty of love and attention and a big fenced yard to play in. I have plenty of time to dedicate to dogs. I stay at home during the day and can be available most any time to provide care. I have a large fenced in yard with two playful pups of my own. Both are fixed, one is small and one is medium sized. I also have 2 children, one toddler and one 9 year old who understand animal respect and love to play.

We are new to the area and have gained some freedom now that we have found Gail who can walk our dogs and stay with them overnight. During our meet and greet we introduced my 3 dogs with her one so we know that they will get along if they are together. Gail shows up on time, can handle walking all 3 dogs at one time and was even able to coax our shy/aggressive one into her leash. We are fortunate to have found Gail.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Southern Pines on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 887 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Southern Pines. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Southern Pines. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Southern Pines.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Southern Pines. On Rover:
- 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
