“Melissa helped me out super last minute for our two needy pups and she made me super comfortable and confident in her while texting her about their needs. They seemed to loved her!! 🩵”
“Samantha is absolutely wonderful! From the initial meet and greet, I immediately felt confident that she would be a great fit for our dogs. She was kind, responsive, dependable, and communicated so well throughout our entire trip. I especially appreciated all of the photos, videos, and detailed report cards she sent after each visit. It made such a difference being able to see how our boys were doing and know they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. Being able to relax and enjoy our trip without worrying about them was honestly priceless. Samantha was attentive, thoughtful, and clearly took the time to get to know our two dogs rather than just stopping in to check a box. We felt completely comfortable having her care for them and are grateful for her services! We would absolutely use her again in the future. Highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a quality pet sitter!!”
“Ann is the best! She is a wonderful communicator, even with some of my last minute chaotic requests! She takes such great care of my cat. I am so thankful for her and trust her whole heartedly!”
About: I have had pets my whole life. I have a genuine love for our furry faced friends. Ive been helping friends and family for only about 5-6 years. Since I've had time and space. Myself and my little dog are new to the area and can't wait to meet our neighborhood friends. I'm new to the area and don't currently have employment. My schedule is wide open at the moment. I would really like to remain as active as possible and love to explore outside. I am a dog owner myself. I feel it's important to cater to your pets needs and abilities. If they like to be outside, then we spend time outside. If not, then we don't.
“We truly appreciate Tawny for checking in on our fur babies. We are even more grateful she was able to take a last minute booking. Thank you and we highly recommended Tawny.”
“Shelby did a wonderful job checking on my pup Lulu! She was on time, professional and gave a great report card for her, with a few pictures to boot. I will definitely be using her services again.”
About: I have very flexible hours and love taking care of pets with walks and lots of cuddles. I own two dogs and a cat that have very lovely lifestyles. Pet sitting works into my schedule because I am retired, and have a part time job working from home. I am up very early every day and am willing to sit with pets for awhile and also walk them. I care for my own pets daily. I am sure that when I leave a home after a drop in that the area is clean and safe for the pet.
“Kristal was incredibly responsible and communicative with me while she watched my cats and fish. I loved the pictures and videos she sent, and she provided me huge peace of mind while I was on vacation with my family. Kristal will definitely be our first choice next time we travel. ❤️🐾”
“Jackie did such a wonderful job taking care of my dog! She has quite a bit of anxiety, so I really appreciated how patient, gentle, and attentive she was with her. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands while I was away. She also went out of her way to give my cat some love and attention, even though caring for her wasn’t part of her responsibilities. That meant so much to me. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book with her again! ❤️”
“Melanie did an amazing job caring for Killy and Laga. She arrived as scheduled and took great care of the dogs and house. I definitely recommend using her services!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs all my life, helping out neighbors, friends, and family with walking, feeding, and even the occasional bath. Over the years, I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs, big and small, playful puppies to seniors. I genuinely love spending time with animals and always treat them like part of the family. Whether your pet needs a cuddle buddy or someone to burn off some energy, I’m here to help! Right now, I’m in between graduation and starting my full-time job, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I’m using this time to do something I truly enjoy—spending time with animals. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine, whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or overnight stays. It’s a great way for me to stay active and do something meaningful. I have a spacious apartment with plenty of room for an animal and lots of walking trails nearby to walk around! Just five feet from my home is a dog park where I take pups to run, play, and socialize (with your permission, of course). I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine, crate if needed, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“She was great with the cats, and so communicative and sweet! Would highly recommend and will be rebooking with her for sure next time I go on a trip. Thanks Kimmie and kids!”
About: I have been working with animals for over 30 years. I was a Vet Tech, kennel manager, and currently a pet groomer. I have worked with puppies as well as exotic animals and birds. I am very responsible and I really pay attention to detail, or any problems I see. I can do nail trims on all animals. Dogs, cats, birds, exotics and more. I am currently working but very flexible with my schedule. I am my own boss so no need for permission lol Available any day of the week. Including nights, weekends, and holidays. I currently have 3 dogs in my home. A Huge back yard in a very private neighborhood. It’s very safe and no traffic with great streets to walk.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me time and time again to look after their pets (and even their plants), and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I share my home with my sweet lab mix, Congo, and my newly adopted cat, Mayo, who bring so much joy into my life. I’ve also spent years house‑sitting and pet‑sitting, and my time working in the local restaurant industry has taught me to be dependable, patient, and attentive. I treat every pet with the same love and comfort I give my own! I’m a local college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, and consistent care. I follow safe walking practices with secure leash handling and close awareness of my surroundings. I also stick to your dog’s usual training and routine to keep them comfortable.
“Katie has been the absolute best person to watch my babies. She goes above and beyond in every way and makes me feel completely safe when they’re with her. I’m a panicky dog mom and worry about a lot but she gives a ton of pictures and really works with the boys. If they haven’t gone to the bathroom she spends extra time so they have the chance. She even brought them a super nice duck toy after taking care of them. My boys absolutely love her and I would recommend her over anyone else! 🐾♥️”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and have been watching them for others since I was in elementary school. Experience with drop in and boarding. I work full time, but work from home and have a flexible schedule! I am able to block my calendar if I know at least one day in advance. I try my best to make sure pets needs are met. I try to limit time in the crate and make sure they’re getting all the playtime they need.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Southern Pines
Holly was wonderful! It was such a relief knowing our dogs were being checked on during the day. She was prompt, communicative, and sent photos during each visit, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dogs looked happy and relaxed. I highly recommend Holly for any drop-in pet care needs and would absolutely book her again!
Lucia is pretty much the only one my shy scaredy cat likes, she immediately won Ave over and got Ave to trust her! I feel 1000x better when I’m gone knowing Lucia is there. Would HIGHLY recommend and will continue to rebook with her (pretty sure this is the third or fourth time - every one has been excellent). Also very communicative, responsible, nice and takes plenty of pics! Thank you so much, really appreciate you.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Southern Pines is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $37 per visit. 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.
As of October 2026, there are 945 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Southern Pines. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Southern Pines. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
