“We have booked with Abriana twice now and had another great experience. I would recommend booking with Abriana for any boarding needs. She is attentive to our pets and gives daily, and as needed, updates about our pets. ”
“Heather and Brand were incredible with our dog Jax. Heather communicated with us daily to let us know how Jax was adjusting and sent pictures as well. Heather does a great job at making the dogs feel comfortable and we will definitely be having her watch our dog again. Thanks Heather!”
“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!”
“Our dog, Hank, had the best experience with Shanna while we vacationed out of state for 10 days. She sent us so many pictures throughout his stay giving us a glimpse of his dog life under her care. Our dog loves the outdoors, running, playing catch as well as downtime inside receiving lots of attention and that’s Exactly what he got!! I’ll definitely use Shanna again, thank you for all the love and attention Hank received!! Karen & Brian”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, chickens & cows! I love animals and hope to have a sanctuary of my own soon! I hope to serve you soon! I work part time in the emergency room, so I can usually move the sitting around my job! This is a great side job for me to make some extra money! I care for pets as if they were my own and I love them unconditionally. I have pets of my own and they are well taken care of!
“Kristal watched my two boys over thanksgiving, I was so sad to leave them for the holiday but she made them thanksgiving dinner! She was great about keeping me updated with cute photos and messages. My pups will definitely be staying with her again!”
About: As a former pet owner, I have firsthand experience caring for pets and understand the attention, patience, and love/affection that they need to thrive. I'm committed to treating each pet like they are my own. I work from home, which allows me to provide frequent attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so regular walks and exercise are already part of my routine. I live in a residential neighborhood that is perfect for daily walks and outdoor time. With nearby parks and plenty of safe walking routes, your pet will enjoy lots of exercise, fresh air, and attention while in my care.
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!
“Amber was an amazing sitter for my Sam. Right off the bat I could tell she loves animals, and her dog Hank was the sweetest boy. I received so many pictures of them playing, snuggling and enjoying life. I love that my dog was allowed everywhere hers was (furniture, etc.) She took them to the dog park and on walks frequently. Her condo is in a safe neighborhood and is secure. Amber is very personable and I am thankful I found such a great person to watch Sam while I am away. I will definitely be using her often! Highly recommend her services. Thanks Amber and Hank!”
About: I have always had dogs growing up, but as an adult I gained more experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, rodents and reptiles. I currently have a senior chihuahua who is 16 years old, a 1 year old chihuahua, a 3 year old border collie mix, as well as 2 cats. I have professional experience with dogs of all sizes, and have cared for a variety of pets. I stay up to date with researching animal behavior and health and feel comfortable caring for pets with special needs. I get off at 4pm on weekdays and never work weekends or holidays, giving me lots of availability to care for your pets! If you book a boarding or daycare service with me on the weekend, I will be home to provide frequent potty breaks and exercise as well as all the belly rubs they might want. I offer check-ins at the client’s home as well as boarding at my home. If boarding your pet at my house, it is important to know I have dogs and cats if my own as well as a young child. I am happy to discuss all requests and rules related to caring for your pet, as I see them as family! I understand how important it is to have a trustworthy caregiver that will take your pets on safe walks, feed them the appropriate amount, and ensure their needs are met. I have a large fenced in yard allowing pets to get plenty of exercise while I watch them.
“Tynisia is amazing! Truly a blessing to have met her. Took excellent care of Rocky and is a great communicator! Never a worry, we knew he was in great hands! Will definitely be reaching out to Tynisia again.”
“Mae was a wonderful dog sitter!! Our older dog loved her time with Mae. She was professional, sent lots of pictures, and adjusted to the silly schedule we ended up having that weekend. Overall, a very wonderuful weekend.”
“I could not recommend Taylor more. She took care of our pups for a whole ten days, and they came back happy, healthy, and seemed to have a great time from all the pictures she sent during the stay.”

“Chastity was amazing and I would recommend her highly. She helped us with drop in visits over 3 days on short notice and the dogs loved her. She spent extra time sitting and playing with them making them feel loved. They were definitely in good hands.”
About: I’ve been around cats through family and friends and understand they need patience, space, and gentle care. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and making sure they feel safe while their owner is away.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ether
“Melanie was great! I reached out to her on short notice for doggy daycare and she was very communicative throughout the stay. She sent pictures and took Oakley on walks. I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
“I am in town for a wedding, and my dog was too stressed to stay in the hotel while I was gone. Desiree was a life saver by taking my dog at the last minute for doggy daycare! I was able to enjoy the wedding knowing my dog was having fun with other people and other dogs, and I picked up a happy and tired pup 😀 If I ever find myself back in the area, I would 100% ask Desiree to watch my dog again. Thanks!!!”
About: My experience for the last 7 years has been raising and training working search and rescue dogs. I also have a combined 10 years of volunteering and fostering with rescues and animal shelters. I especially love caring for senior dogs ensuring they are given their best years with the love and grace they deserve. As my jobs for the last 12 years have been working from home, I have time to also take care of your pets! My 3 dogs and 1 cat are my family and I understand the trust you need for me to take care of your family as well. If your dog is staying with me, they will enjoy 13 fenced-in acres with supervised exploration and playtime. When not outside playing, they will stay in my home with me. I also have heavy duty indestructible crates for those that need the extra help staying in their crate!
About: Hi, I’m Izzy – an educator and lifelong animal lover! I grew up with cats and dogs and now have two sweet, friendly pups of my own. I’ve worked at a dog grooming salon, cared for pets over school breaks, and love providing reliable care when pet parents need a helping hand. Whether your dog is a high-energy adventurer or a mellow homebody, I’ll adapt to their needs and give them all the love they deserve. I’m happy to provide references from other families I've worked with! I look forward to connecting soon. I work remotely as a teacher so I am available during the week and on weekends! I am happy to come to your house for drop in visits or walks. I also do offer doggy daycare in my home for one dog a day. I have two dogs of my own who love to have visitors. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’ve cared for dogs both in my home and in their own familiar space. I always follow your pet’s routine and preferences to make sure they feel secure. I have two friendly, crate-trained dogs who love making new friends, and my home is pet-safe and well set up for boarding or drop-ins. I'm happy to arrange a meet-and-greet so you feel totally at ease!

My husband and I live on 5 acres so your dogs will have lots of room to run and will be watched with love,and well taken care of. You will not be disappointed when you pick them up. I love animals and treat other peoples animals like they're my own. We have a fence in area. It's not attached to our home,but it is well shaded with 3 cement stalls where they can go lay down if they wanted too. I also have long training leash so i can play with them since I don't have a fence yet. I used it with my Rottweiler that passed when I lived in apartment up in Michigan. It works great cause its really long so if I needed to step on it I could to stop them. I Iam looking forward to meeting you and and taking care of your fur babies .

I also have a long traing leash so I can play with them without putting in the fence in area. I used it for my rottweilers. It works great because it's really long so you can jump on it if they start to take off. Since we have a fence in area now,when they in it ,I will check on them periodically to make sure they are ok. I also will get in the fence wirh them to play with them. I would never leave them out in yhe heat or cold to long. Like i said i treat other animals just like they are my own .
“Taylor is absolutely wonderful!!! She's a positive, dependable and kind caretaker who sent pictures of my very content and happy puppy which made me smile during a busy work day. I think Bella just loves her the way she wagged her tail, prancing to me and then back to Taylor. I can't thank her enough and give her the highest rating for care well done. :)”

About: I have been a pet sitter for 6 years. I own my own house/dog walking business. I chose to expand my services over to Rover! I work a few hours out of the evening so i have plenty of time to hang out with the doggos i keep and take them out every 4 hours In my home, I have a room specifically for the pups that I keep. When I am home i allow them to roam but when Im away I do not cage them unless the owner recommends it! If you prefer for me to come to your home, I abide by the instructions you leave for me.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and making sure they get the proper care they need. All of my family has relied on me to potty train their dogs. I have experience with multiple different breeds because I worked at a boarding/training facility. I am currently on summer break because I am a teacher so I have plenty of availability. I’m a morning person so I typically get up then feed and walk my dogs then tackle whatever the day brings. I’m only not available on Tuesday evenings. I follow your pet's established routine, stick to their feeding schedule, and keep everything exactly as you left it. Whether your pet stays in their own familiar environment or we are somewhere new I'm fully present and attentive the entire visit. Pets are never left unsupervised in unfamiliar spaces, and I always follow each pet's routine to keep them stress-free and at ease.
About: I have been a professional trainer for over 15 years. I love puppies, small dogs, and bully breeds in particular. I am comfortable giving medications and providing custom care. Looking after your pets is my number once focus everyday and throughout the week. They are the first thing I take care of when I wake up and the last thing I take care of when I go to sleep. Dogs will be crated when not supervised. Backyard is fully fenced. Free time in the yard and house while supervised. Professional training available as well.
About: Hello! My name is Peyton, and I’m 17 years old. I’ve been caring for animals since I was young and have experience with all kinds, including dogs, horses, pigs, cats, and many more. Growing up around animals has taught me how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to their needs. I’m available full-time throughout the summer and would love the opportunity to care for your pets while making sure all of their wants and needs are met. I’m currently available full-time throughout the summer and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and playtime whenever needed. I have a big area for tons of running and playing time, with plenty of toys and love to be given! Every animal is welcomed here, and guaranteed to be spoiled.
About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5. I dog sit for many members of my family and have had dogs since I was 2 years old. I have a lot of experience giving medication and working with elderly animals. If I am available, I would love to set up a meet and greet to see if I would be a good fit! I am also insured! I work a flexible 9-5 and can drop in to walk or spend additional time caring for your animal(s) because of the flexibility! I wake up early as well! I treat each home like I am a true guest there and treat it and the animals if they were my own. I am very respectful of the rules and furniture.
“Erika goes the extra mile to be helpful with Remi. Very dependable and has a lot of patience with Remii. I plan on using her again. Thanks for all you have helped to teach my dog. Remi loves her.”

“Jessica was able to take care of our babies in a pinch after our house flooded unexpectedly. There was a lot of flexibility used because we didn’t know when we’d be allowed back in our home and she willingly kept our boys extra days while we lived out of a hotel for a week. Thank you!!!”
“Nathan sent updates daily reassuring us that our pup was doing well. He was also flexible when our travel plans faced a delay. Would recommend to anyone who wants a safe and fun environment for their fur babies.”

About: I have always watched all my families fur babies. They have been well loved just as my own. I’m always watching training videos on dog behavior as to be ready at all times and recognizing when to step in. I’m a stay at home mom so I’m always home majority of my days unless I’m running errands. So they are in my care at all times. I love to send videos and pictures to keep everyone updated. So I’m hoping to love on your fur-babies soon. I’m a stay at home mom. So I’m home almost all of my days unless I’m out running an errand or out with my sister doing an activity with my kids. But most of my days consist of being at home. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I have a really big back yard and open front yard and woods. We are back in the corner of the woods. I also have 2 big dogs that will help guide your dog on how to do things. I also have a crate if need be for a large breed dog if that’s something they are use too. I’m more than welcome to walk your dogs on a leash if you felt more comfortable
About: Hi, I’m Kelsey! 🐾 I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I have five dogs of my own and volunteer with a local dog rescue, so caring for dogs is a huge part of my everyday life. Through rescue, I’ve cared for dogs that were scared, neglected, underweight, recovering from surgery, learning to trust people again, and everything in between. Seeing those dogs come out of their shells and finally feel safe is one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever experienced. It’s taught me to be patient, pay attention to the little things, and understand that every dog has different needs. When your dog stays with me, they’re treated like one of my own. Whether they’re energetic and love to play or they’re more laid-back and just want someone to hang out with, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how hard it is to trust someone else with your dog because I feel the same way about mine. That’s why I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you always know how they’re doing. My goal is simple: I want your dog to have so much fun and feel so at home that they’re excited to come back for their next stay. I’d love to meet you and your pup! ❤️🐾 I work remotely from home, so your dog won’t be left alone all day. My flexible schedule allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Because I board in my home, I can keep a close eye on each dog and make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and sticking to their normal routine as much as possible. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have five friendly dogs of my own who are well-socialized, and I’m very experienced introducing new dogs thanks to my work with a local rescue. Every introduction is done slowly and based on each dog’s personality and comfort level. I have experience caring for puppies, seniors, rescue dogs, and dogs with special routines or medications. If your dog prefers their own space, I’m happy to separate dogs, crate when requested, or follow whatever routine helps them feel most at home. I believe boarding should feel like a home, not a kennel. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, loved, and excited to come back for another visit.
