“My dog loves Niki!!! She’s so awesome and best part he comes home wiped out from playing with other dogs! We love her!! No problems and she takes great care of our Doberman!”
About: As a pet parent to two dogs and a cat, I know firsthand that every animal has their own personality, quirks, and needs. Whether they’re full of energy, a little shy, or just want someone to snuggle with, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at! I’m also a mom to a little girl who absolutely LOVES animals! She’s growing up surrounded by furry friends and shares my love for all things fourlegged. Of course, any interactions with pets are always supervised, and I understand that not every animal is comfortable around little ones. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. You can absolutely expect pictures and updates while you’re away! I’m a stay-at-home mom and full-time online college student, so my schedule is pretty flexible! Between schoolwork, spending time with my daughter, and caring for our own little zoo, animals are already a big part of my everyday routine. I’m home quite a bit throughout the week, which gives me plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, playtime, walks, and extra attention. I love having a routine but also understand that every pet has their own schedule, and I’m happy to work with yours! Whether your fur baby needs some company during the day or a little extra TLC while you’re away, I’d love to help! I know every animal is different. Some want to be your shadow all day, and others need a little time to warm up. I’m happy to give them whatever space or attention they need. I’ll always make sure introductions are done carefully, especially with my daughter and our pets. I also know how nerve racking it can be leaving your animals with someone else. I’ll follow whatever routines or instructions you leave me, and I’m more than happy to send pictures and updates so you know how they’re doing!
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Jeongwon took amazing care of my dog and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. I would absolutely recommend Jeongwon to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Maverick was well taken care of and communication was great. Drop off and pick up was very pleasant and welcoming. Will definitely use again and suggest you do to. My Vizsla is a high energy dog and she knew just what he needed while I was away. Thank you again for everything!”
About: Hi, I’m Adrianna! I’m a dog mom to three dogs and regularly care for pets in my neighborhood. I know how reassuring it is to get a thoughtful update when someone is visiting your pet, so I’ll send photos and let you know how each visit went. I offer drop in visits for potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and companionship. I’m also experienced with giving medications and will carefully follow the instructions you provide. I’m a full time online student, so my schedule is flexible throughout the week. I’m happy to learn your pet’s routine and arrange a meet and greet before their first visit! I’m a full time remote student so my availability is completely open during the week. During the weekends I do ask for a 1 day heads up! I have a huge fenced in backyard with 3 friendly dogs, your pet will be treated like family when they’re in my home. They will be allowed to roam freely unless you prefer crates, and will be loved on constantly, and always supervised.
“Cynthia is fantastic. We have not left Oliver alone with any one since getting him. I was so nervous about him going with a complete stranger. But, Cynthia loved on him all weekend. She babysat him twice during the day and then kept him Friday through Sunday. I can say enough wonderful things about her. I will always let her keep him!!! He attached to her the moment we dropped him off. If you are looking for a super energetic, sweet, loving person to care for your animal, she is definitely your person.”
“Celina and Justin always welcome my big baby with open arms, and I truly appreciate them both. Rocky Lee knows them very well, and that gives me even more confidence. I trust them with my eyes closed, knowing my big baby is in good hands 🙌. Thank you”
“Mikayla was amazing! She sent daily updates with the cutest pics and gave our dogs so much love and attention. We felt totally at ease while we were away. Highly recommend and would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Brenda treated my two dogs like they were her own. They slept and played and appeared to have a blast. She has a great fenced in yard and her dog zelda is wonderful with mine and so sweet. Well worth hiring.”
“Ernesto was great to work with. He was professional, intelligent, and engaged our dog with the utmost care. We were very pleased with his services and would absolutely recommend him to others.”
“My husband and I left on a last minute trip and we were scrambling around trying to find a safe place for our dogs to go so we didn't need to take them with us. Ashley and her husband were the perfect choice! She was great with our dogs and the set up she has at her house was perfect for our dogs, a large fenced in back yard, a kennel and even a pool. Her years of experience and dog knowledge was much appreciated and we didn't feel the need to worry about them for the length of their stay. She sent us pictures of them enjoying their time too. I will definitely be using her family again and would recommend her to my friends and family. Thanks again Ashley, really appreciated you watching our pups!”
“Ashley is always so accommodating with our Honey. We couldn’t ask for a better, more reliable family to leave our fur baby with! We love the updates, pictures, and videos we get every day from Ashley. Honey recently had surgery and has still done great even after long days of playing under Ashley’s care. Every time we drop honey off, she can’t get to the door to see Bentley quick enough! And when it’s time to pick Honey up, as exhausted as she is, she never wants to leave! We can’t express enough how much we appreciate Ashley, Bentley, and their fam!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, I had everything from cats and dogs to rabbits and birds. Today, all of my cats and dogs are rescue pets, and caring for them has taught me the patience, love, and attention every pet deserves. ❤️🐾 NOTE: I do have a Sanford address, but I am actually located near Western Harnett Elementary school off Buffalo Lake rd. I am not in the Sanford area whatsoever. As a retired pet lover, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to your furry family members. I follow a daily routine with my own pets, starting at 4:15 a.m. with morning potty breaks and feeding. My dogs are taken out multiple times a day, and all of my pets are accustomed to a regular schedule for meals, playtime, and naps. I will provide the same attentive, reliable care to your pets as I do to my own. 🐾 I have turned my bonus room into a fun and relaxing space for my cats. There are toys, a cat tree, cozy beds for napping, and lots of places to hide and feel secure. A gate at the door keeps my dogs out, allowing the cats to enjoy their playtime and nap time without any interruptions. 🐾💕If your cat or small dog prefers to have their own space, I can simply close the door to help them feel comfortable and secure. The room is very spacious, so your pet will never feel confined or trapped. My goal is to provide a calm, stress-free environment where every pet can relax and feel at home. 🐾💕 Your small dog will always have company and attention, as they will stay with me throughout the day. My dogs are sweet, friendly, and welcoming to new furry friends. They are not aggressive and will not bother or harass your pet, ensuring a safe and stress-free stay. 🐾💕
About: I love cats! I have a separate room with all the kitty essentials in there. There’s two windows where they can perch and people watch, toys, a closet to hide if they’re nervous, and towers to play on. There’s also a live camera so I can show you your babies at any time. I work at a school so I have lots of time off throughout the year and I come home every day. Most of the time it’s just me and my two girls. My style varies by animal. I can tell if the animal wants to play, be left alone, or wander a little bit. I can change it up depending on their needs.
About: Growing up we had a loving lab named Hannah who always wanted to cuddle and give kisses. Shortly after adopting her, we rescued my kitty Dusty who became best friends with her, unfortunately Hannah passed a few years back and Dusty lived a very long life and passed away in June2026. A month later I took in a friend's cat and she is living her best life with me. While in the final years of High School and college, I had neighbors, friends, and family get out to have me to care, walk, and feed their love ones when they go away, along with spending the night with them. I currently work full time as a registered nurse. Tuesday through Friday, starting around 6:30am and ends around 3pm. I will have plenty of time in the morning and after work as well as late evening to play with your pups or kitties. I have a fenced in dog park where I currently live and can access a nature path for long walks. I can easily crate your dog if needed during the day or make sure everything is picked up if they roam free when home alone.

We love Desiree so much we booked her twice in less than two months! She takes great care of our pup, giving us a worry-free time away. She’s also flexible and super accommodating, so it makes drop-offs and pick-ups a breeze. We’ve definitely found our forever-sitter!
Amber took care of my two fur babies today and I feel like I hit the pet sitter jackpot! I booked it pretty much last minute and she responded promptly, has a clean home, and you can tell immediately that she loves dogs. Because I was just passing through and don't live in the area, it wasn't possible to do a meet and greet ahead of time. Something about her personality that came through as we communicated prior to my dropping off Arria and Luna, I wasn't worried about it though. She was so kind and genuine, just a lovely soul, and no doubt I will reach out to her the next time I'm passing through with my fur babies. Her two dogs are very sweet, well behaved, and didn't mind sharing all their bones and toys with mine. If you are on the fence about which person to reach out to - just send her a message and you will see what I'm talking about - she's GREAT!
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!!
I can't say enough good things about Emerald! She gave Carter wonderful care, paying close attention to his behavior to ensure he was happy and comfortable. She sent us pictures everyday which gave me total peace of mind, and Carter came home happy as can be. She is truly exceptional!! 🐾
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.

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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 422 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Southern Pines. About 88% of Southern Pines sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
