“Heather and her son took wonderful care of my two dogs. Before booking, we had a meet-and-greet and were even introduced to another dog that would be staying at the same time, which I really appreciated—it showed how much they care about making sure all the dogs get along. They communicated daily and shared plenty of photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Their backyard is perfect for dogs who love to run and play, so my pups got lots of exercise in addition to their walks. I also made the mistake of not packing enough food (our dogs usually don’t eat much when staying with sitters), but they ended up eating every meal. Heather went above and beyond to make sure they were well fed despite my oversight. We will definitely be utilizing Heather for future sitter needs.”

“We booked Desiree pretty last minute to board our dog in her home, and we couldn’t be happier! From the beginning, Desiree was super responsive, accommodating, and easy to work with. She kept us up to date on how our girl was doing, and they were clearly having a great time together. I’m not sure Effie wanted to come home! She was clean, happy, and spoiled when we picked her up and we will definitely use Desiree again. 10/10 recommend!”

About: My husband and I have been fostering dogs since February 2023. Sadly (or happily, rather), several of those fosters became foster fails. We went from having 1 dog and 2 cats to 4 dogs and 4 cats…but we wouldn’t have it any other way :) Our 4 cats are all extremely friendly and loving. Charlie is 6, Harley is 3, and Sweet Potato and Clementine just turned 1. Every single one of our dogs is a rescue. Molly is 9 months, Banjo is 7 months, Mia is 10-12 years, and Georgie is 8-10 years. Molly & Banjo were rescued with Paws of the Pines Rescue based in Southern Pines, NC. Mia & Georgie are a sister duo that we found dumped in the woods, and are the best senior pups we’ve ever encountered. My husband and I care deeply for all animals and do this because we love it, not for the money. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you’re in need of care. We will do what we can to serve you! I (Megan) wake up at 4:30 daily to let the dogs out, walk them, and feed them breakfast. I leave for work at 6. Jacob then wakes up and cares for the dogs until he leaves for work at 7. The dogs are crated until we come home. After work they engage in another walk, training, puzzles, you name it, and are highly active until bedtime around 9. The cats have an automatic feeder and water fountain. They love lounging around in the living room if the dogs are calm. All 4 cats are friendly and curious. Harley hangs around outside most of the day and the orange brothers are in and out as they please. Charlie is mostly indoors with the occasional peek at the outside world. Pets that enter my home will remain in the main living area with the puppies. The cats in my home are free to roam through the whole house. Dogs will need to be crate trained and okay other pets. I will accommodate their meals according to the owners’ requests. We are an active family, so walks are common!

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: I've had experience in handling and providing care for cats of all temperaments from my own to working with boarding cats at kennels and the SPCA. I am comfortable adminstering medicine through food or using a pill pusher or pill pockets. Growing up one of my cats had issues with her kidneys and I administered her pills with a pusher as it was the only way to reliability know she received her life saving medicine every morning. I have a young cat of my own who is a bit on the spunky side but I love him reguardless of all the sass! At the SPCA I made sure all our cats in the facility were fed and had a clean kennel. I enjoyed free time providing enrichment through play or for the more shy cats sitting quietly and allowing them to come and go as they pleased.

About: Hi! I’m Kat — and I offer personalized walks and enrichment as a trusted extension of your dog’s care team. I know how hard it is to leave your dog. They’re family. Clear communication and consistency matter, and I take that seriously. Every visit is an opportunity to build trust — with both you and your pup. You’ll receive thoughtful updates that include notes on energy, potty, behavior, and anything I’m noticing (because yes, I absolutely pay attention to the details). I truly treat each dog as the individual they are. Some are bold explorers. Some are thoughtful observers. Some love a purposeful walk, while others prefer a slower pace with time to sniff and take it all in. I adjust each visit based on age, health, temperament, and your household routines — meeting your dog where they are and supporting what helps them thrive. I’m especially attentive to patterns — what helps a dog feel calm, confident, and engaged. Safety and steady leadership are always my priorities. I’m mindful at doors, leashes, transitions, and the environment around us so your dog’s experience is secure, structured, and positive.

The first time I used her she was so responsive to the booking request and was more than understanding of what I needed for my dogs. Every time she walks them I know they’re getting the right attention needed for two high energy dogs. They get to play and relieve some energy during the time Terri watches them! I highly recommend you book with her! She’s great!! Thank you Terri!!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of patience, reliability, and genuine care I bring to every dog I work with. I always treat each pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and engaged while you’re away. I’m attentive to routines, quick to pick up on each dog’s personality, and always communicate clearly with updates, photos, and check-ins. I also have hands-on experience working with puppies—helping with basic training, reinforcing good habits, and keeping their schedules consistent. For senior dogs, I’m very gentle and understanding of their needs, from slower walks to medication reminders and extra comfort. No matter the age, size, or energy level, I tailor my care to fit exactly what your dog needs. Overall, I bring professionalism, compassion, and a calm, dependable presence that helps your pet feel right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work Monday–Friday from 8–5, but I’m very flexible and can adjust my schedule when needed. Before and after work, I make time for walks, feedings, check-ins, and playtime, and I’m always available for early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I plan my days around making sure pets get the attention, structure, and consistency they need, so even with a full schedule, I’m always able to provide reliable and loving care. When I’m caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their routine exactly the way the owner prefers. I keep things familiar for the pet—feeding at their normal times, sticking to their usual walk schedule, and keeping their environment clean and comfortable. I always give plenty of playtime, attention, and affection, and I send regular updates and photos so owners feel connected and reassured while they’re away. If a pet requires special care—like medication, crate routines, puppy training, or senior support—I make sure those needs are handled consistently and gently. My goal is to keep pets relaxed, happy, and safe by making their day-to-day life feel as normal as possible, whether I’m stopping in for a visit or staying longer.

About: I have had animals my whole life. Couldn’t imagine life without them. I have had English Mastiff/Great Danes( not afraid of some drool) to Jack Russell’s. I currently do not have any employment. I’m extremely bored at home. I would like to get out of the house doing something I know I would love. My husband travels for work so we currently live in a large fifth wheel RV. We have one dog a 6yr old Great Dane. Also one calico cat about 8 months old .

“Heather and her son took wonderful care of my two dogs. Before booking, we had a meet-and-greet and were even introduced to another dog that would be staying at the same time, which I really appreciated—it showed how much they care about making sure all the dogs get along. They communicated daily and shared plenty of photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Their backyard is perfect for dogs who love to run and play, so my pups got lots of exercise in addition to their walks. I also made the mistake of not packing enough food (our dogs usually don’t eat much when staying with sitters), but they ended up eating every meal. Heather went above and beyond to make sure they were well fed despite my oversight. We will definitely be utilizing Heather for future sitter needs.”

About: Like everyone else on this app, I love dogs, and grew up with German Shepherds However, I started on the rover app because I wanted to provide something I thought was missing… reliable pet care for high energy and athletic dogs. I travel a lot and the last thing I want to worry about is if my 70 pound GSD is wearing out the kind old lady I left her with because that’s who was available. Rest assured, if you leave your dog with me for work or for play, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. Need daily runs or multiple walks a day? Good. We run every day. Need yard play time? Not a problem. Extra belly rubs? Easy. Is your Dog a couch potato? I have a couch and have happy to give rubs and chill out. The point is, weather for a week or a weekend, if you leave your dog with me, you can focus on where ever your travels are taking you. I have a pretty demanding full time job. I’m only available for boarding in my home. If I’m home, your dog has 100% of my focus. I have a very well trained and very social GSD and a large fenced in yard. I also have rooms I can fence off to give your dog some space. I’m happy to play fetch, take multiple walks, and daily runs if needed.

About: Hi! I’m your friendly neighborhood pet sitter—animal nerd, plant parent, and professional chaos manager 🌿🐾 From pocket-sized hamsters to majestic Great Danes, opinionated parrots to mysterious snakes, I love animals of every variety. Fur, feathers, or scales? I’m in. I approach pet care like a science and an art—learning routines, decoding body language, and adapting my care to match each pet’s unique personality (yes, even the dramatic ones). When I’m not hanging out with pets, I’m probably fussing over plants and making sure every living thing around me is thriving. Whether it’s following a color-coded care sheet, calming nervous pets, administering meds, or watering your beloved jungle, I’ve got it handled. You can head out knowing your pets (and plants!) are safe, spoiled, and genuinely cared for by someone who treats every home like a tiny ecosystem worth protecting. 🐈🌸🐶🐍🌱 Your furry, feathered, or scaly friends will be happy, safe, and well-loved while you're away! My wife and I recently made the move to Southern Pines from Florida and have been enjoying getting to know the community—especially its many pets! I believe good pet care starts with clear expectations, happy routines, and making sure every member of the household—furred, feathered, scaled, or leafy—feels safe and well looked after. I’m happy to offer pet sitting, house sitting, doggy daycare, and more. I have a large fenced backyard for safe playtime and live in a lovely, pet-friendly neighborhood, perfect for walks, adventures, or just soaking up some sun. Your furry, feathered, or scaly friends will be happy, safe, and well-loved while you’re away!

About: My name is Taylor, I was born and raised in Colorado so we love to go on walks and be outside. I personally own 2 dogs right now so I’ve been caring for them for a while. Raised them both since they were puppies. I can take your dog for walks, play with them, give them all the cuddles they need while you are away. I can also bathe them, I am certified to groom dogs and cats. I love being around animals and will care for yours like they are my own. You will be able to trust me with your pets. I promise to clean up after your pets on walks and keep your neighborhood clean. Taking care of your pets will be my pleasure. Thank you for considering me to care for your pets. I currently am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to care for animals and meet all their daily needs. They’ll be loved and appreciated. I have a fenced yard here at my own home, but I also know pets are more comfortable in their own space so I’m willing to watch them at my own home or yours.

“My "fur child" really enjoyed being with Tatyana and her family. It was a pleasant experience from the meet and greet to the boarding. Such a neat and clean house and a large fenced backyard. The families two dogs were very used to other dogs and were fun to play with! I will definitely book again.”

“I can't say enough good things about the dog sitting service I received! From the moment I dropped off my pup, I knew he was in excellent hands. The sitter was incredibly attentive, providing regular updates and photos that reassured me my dog was happy and well cared for. She went above and beyond to make sure he felt at home, even spoiling him with extra playtime and cuddles. When I picked him up, he was calm, content, and clearly had a great time. I will definitely be using her services again thank you again!”
