“Victor was amazing with our dog, Summer! Not only did he stand daily photos of her looking happy, but he was extremely flexible with drop off and pick up. Even when we hit stranded out of the country fur two extra days, Victor was incredibly accommodating and we never had ti worry about our Summer. His home is clean and spacious, with a perfect fenced outdoor area, and he obviously loves pets. I would 100% book with Victor again and highly recommend him without hesitation.”
“Annie took amazing care of my pup. I knew the entire time she was loved and had a great time! Highly recommend and will contact Annie again soon to book another sitting. Thank you so much Annie!!”
“Awesome person, professional, kind and caring person that took great care of my dog. Upon meeting her and talking to her, I was put at ease and felt that she would take great care of my dog, who is my family. Thanks so much Linda!”
“Jennifer was wonderful with our dog, Pepper! She was responsive, flexible, and very friendly throughout the stay. We appreciated the updates she sent, including photos from the weekend, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from her messages that Pepper was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Jennifer and her family were so sweet with her, and it was heartwarming to hear how much they enjoyed having Pepper around. Communication was great from start to finish, and we always felt like Pepper was in good hands. It’s obvious Jennifer genuinely loves dogs. She took the time to get to know Pepper, and it showed in the thoughtful updates she shared. Pepper came home happy and relaxed, and we could tell she had been well cared for. We would absolutely book with Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative sitter!”
“Lucia is wonderful. She sent tons of photos and updated us so often. I felt completely at ease leaving my baby with her. We will definitely ask Lucia to watch Cara again (if she’ll have her ?)”
“Desiree did an excellent job with our two dogs. She was friendly, responsive, and professional. She has the perfect set up to care for your animals and she sends timely updates and photos during the stay. I strongly recommend booking with her.”

“Mary is awesome!! You can tell the love that her and her husband have for animals!! I know my pup will always be well cared for, and shown lots of love when staying with her!! Highly recommend!!”
“Rebeka was absolutely amazing with our dog. He was new to us and we had never boarded him before. She took the time to meet with us beforehand to make sure it was a good fit. She sent multiple updates and photos to help put me at ease. She listened to our requests and did a phenomenal job. I will definitely use her in the future!”
“I needed a boarding for a couple of nights for my dog, Kinako, at the very last minute. Jessica and her family were very accommodating to my request. When we had a meet in the evening before, I had a faith and I knew they are the ones! Kinako immediately made herself comfortable at their home. Their dog is sweet and friendly. They made friends with each other right away. While I was away, it was great to see the update picture, and I felt at ease. When I picked Kinako up, I could tell that she had a wonderful time at their lovely home. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us. Kinako and I are looking forward to the next opportunities.”
“Melanie is not JUST an incredible boarder and dog lover, but an all around beautiful human. I immediately felt at ease about leaving my big boys with her when we met. She sent amazing photos, updates, and was extremely supportive and flexible when my times had to be adjusted. I am even thinking of boarding them with her once a month just because they loved her sooo much. 100,0000,000% Recommend!”
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: I became a dog mom at 19, and have been dog-sitting off and on ever since! While the extra income is always nice, I mainly do it to prevent coming home with a new puppy every week. I treat all the dogs I meet like they're my own and give them as much love as I do to my own babies - an 11 year old Lab mix and 6 year old German Shepherd! They both have loved every dog I've ever had staying at my house. I'm comfortable with all breeds and all ages, and have no problem giving medications if needed. I am available during the daytime for long walks and have a very flexible work schedule, which means a lot of play time for your pup! I’m currently working remote part-time and have the flexibility to choose my own hours, which means I have plenty of spare time during the day to spend with your pup! I treat your pets as if they are my own, giving them the same amount of love and attention if not more! I always make sure they are well cared for and that the client comes home to a clean house and happy pets!
“I cannot say enough great things about this dog sitting family! My two dogs absolutely adored their two kiddos! They enjoyed playing outside with the family's dog, Yogi. Even Rowen, who usually prefers staying inside, joined in on the fun and had a wonderful time.🤗 I felt at ease the whole time I was out of town because they kept me updated and sent pictures. 10/10 would recommend 👌🏽”
“Jacki was an awesome Rover. She provided multiple daily updates with pictures and gave Remi plenty of exercise. Jacki is easy to communicate with and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a Rover!”
“I couldn’t be happier! They treated my girl like family!!! Super accommodating, checking in all the time tons of pics! Honestly I will never board her else where unless I have too! They are the BEST!”
“Taylor did a great job with our Old English Bully. Our Luna is a high energy unique Bully and Taylor was able to keep up! Taylor has great communication and she is mindful about the dogs needs and behaviors. Luna had a great time and we were able to relax and enjoy our time away.”

“Mary took excellent care of my cat while I was gone. She is friendly, attentive, and made sure she understood the care and medications my cat needs. Her drop-ins were on-time, and her updates and pictures were outstanding. I'm glad to have been able to hire her for regular bookings, and I highly recommend her!”
“You can tell Victoria is not a newbie when it comes to taking care of your pets! She knows the right questions to ask to prepare, she’s professional, she’s accommodating, she’s reliable. Her extensive reviews say a lot. I would hire her again or recommend her anytime. Thanks!”
“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!! 🐾”
“Meghan helped watch my two babies last minute and texted me constant updates with pictures included. I will definitely be using her again for all my out of town travel and will feel 100% comfortable leaving them in her care.”
“Melissa was amazing! I contacted her the night of because I had issues with my other sitter, she was over in less than an hour after contacting her! She also offered up some of her own cat treats to get my shy kitty to come out and eat. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Alyson was a great sitter, I’m so glad I was able to find her. She sent many photos, which was amazing as I missed my sweet kitty very much. Her notes were also very thorough, which was greatly appreciated too!”
“I have booked with her many times and she always does an excellent job. One day while I was out of town, she even took the time to help a poor lost dog that had taken refuge on my front porch. She is a great pet sitter and a very compassionate person!”
“Hannah is absolutely amazing! Despite MY inability to leave her a key (however I was prepared somehow for my absent mindedness), she worked to find a way to get in the house and then returned when I gave her instructions. She cleaned up my kitties throw ups without me asking her to do so, and even my most shy kitty was social with her. Will absolutely have her watch my babies again!”
“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 grew up on a farm and have experience with all types of animals. Cats are one of my favorite due to each one's distinct personality and attitude. I have experience with kittens , adult cats and senior cats who may need a little more time and attention.
About: I grew up on a farm that had numerous indoor and outdoor cats at all times - all of which were my responsibility. Currently, I have a very needy and peculiar cat that always keeps me on my toes! That being said, I’m a self-proclaimed professional litter scooper and cat entertainer. If your cat loves to play, I’m the girl for the job! They want cuddles and emotional support? Nothing would bring me more joy than loving on your kitty. Wants to be left alone? I know how to observe cat behaviors and will give them space accordingly. From kittens to elderly cats and all sorts of personalities and health issues, I’ve seen it all. I developed a deep love and appreciation for cats early on in my life, and I will have that type of care for your beloved cat as well 🥰
“Lucia is fantastic, so friendly, thoughtful and diligent about caring for Gummy and even our home while we were away. We’re excited to have found someone we trust and will absolutely be utilizing her services again!”
About: I have years of experience caring for cats and am comfortable with everything from social, playful cats to shy or independent ones who prefer their space. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, medications, playtime, and plenty of attention when wanted! I understand that cats have their own routines and personalities, and I’m happy to care for them in whatever way makes them feel most comfortable while you’re away.
“Dustin and his girlfriend Karen provided exemplary service. They were very attentive and loving to our girls and did everything we asked for. They were professional yet still personable, and it’s very clear that they have genuine love for animals. We will be definitely using them again in the future!”
“If you want peace of mind for your pets while you are away, Holly will give you that!! She is wonderful. We loved getting the daily updates and photos/videos. The kitties were comfortable with Holly. She made them feel loved and well taken care of. She even went out of her way to bring in our house Amazon boxes that were delivered. We love Holly and will be booking with her again each time we are away!!”
“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. ❤️🐾”

“Lucia is absolutely an angel!!! This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t be happier! She sent tons of updates and photos of our puppy while we were away and he came home happy and tired from a full day of fun!! It is apparent she loves dogs!!”
“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!!!”
“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!”
“Jacki was amazing with my puppy! She is very flexible and accommodating. My puppy is not fully potty trained or crate trained yet and it was difficult to find someone to take him. Jacki was a lifesaver! She was the perfect fit for us. Highly recommend.”
About: I am 36 years old and I have had animals my whole life growing up of all different sizes. I love all animals like they are my own. I am a dog owner myself so I can pick up on certain behaviors. I am able to give them medication my dog has allergies and I give him medicine daily. I am prior military with an active security clearance so you can trust me with your home and your beloved family member(dog). They will be well taken care of and have a great time in my care. Animals love unconditionally which is why I love them so dearly. I look forward to meeting your fuzzy four legged companion. I am available at my home nights and weekends. During the day I will come home at lunch to take the dogs outside. They won’t go longer than 4 hours. I will treat your pet like my own. Which is like a king. My dog sleeps in bed with me or on the couch under blankets. Wherever they are most comfortable.
About: I survived teaching first and second grade for over 35 years so I can do anything! I am a new grandma and I’m so excited! I have two sweet pups who love having news friends come over and play. I am very flexible and I am very willing to get the work done with your pup or puppies! I will do whatever it takes to make it work. Although I don’t have a fenced in yard I will make sure they are on a leash if needed when going out to do their business. I love to walk multiple times a day so you can be assured they will get lots of attention and exercise.
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: One of the best feelings in the world is being greeted by a dog’s wagging tail—a pure expression of happiness, joy, and love that instantly brightens the day. I grew up with dogs, and from an early age, I learned how much they truly complete a home. I always accommodate my clients' animals daily routines, because their comfort comes first. It’s never about my schedule—it’s about maintaining what they know and trust. Just because their owners are away doesn’t mean their routine should change. I love taking pictures, so you'll have great photos of your animals while you are away. This is my full time job. Nice days don’t go to waste!!! Your pet(s) and I will be outside playing, running around, and a walk around the neighborhood (if allowed). I respect every home by keeping it tidy and cleaning up after myself. If you need a good spring clean and organizing, my services are always available: Dust, vacuum, organize, picking up poop, taking the trash out, grabbing the mail, watering plants, picking weeds… you name it, I will do it!
“Jennifer was very accommodating and friendly. We dropped our dog two days in a row for daycare, and he was very happy when we picked him and excited to return the next day. We will definitely go to Jennifer again when we’re back in Pinehurst.”
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.
“Once again, Kristin did not disappoint! She stays so connected with me as a new puppy owner. And she can handle unexpected changes with no problem. I had an appointment that ran late, and she was kind enough to understand and work around it seamlessly. Better yet, my pup gets so excited to see Miss Kristen!!!”
“Tatyana took excellent care of our Rowdy. He was very nervous as we were on a vacation trip to see relatives. When we handed him over to Tatyana for an evening out, he was immediately calm with her. She sent several pictures showing he was doing fine. He even took a nap. She was loving and I would highly recommend her.”
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!
“We had a great day! Whitney was awesome. She let me run & play with her dogs. She took me for walks. She even let me sit on her lap..., not that I gave her much choice! LOL. Mom said I could come back anytime. I sure hope it's soon!! --- Bronwyn, Rottweiler dog”
“Nikki has been fantastic watching Frankie! She has plenty of other dogs for her to play with and she knows dogs really well so I trust her completely! I highly recommend her to anyone looking to have daycare or additional training for their dogs.”
“Brooke and her family were great! They clearly took great care of my pup as he was content around her, but worn out and ready to nap by the time we got in the car. She was really flexible and great at communicating. Would recommend and will use again in the future!”
“Natalie did an amazing job taking care of Storm! He came home tired, satisfied, and safe. She sent me plenty of updates and photos and overall gave me a lot of confidence that my dog will be safe in her hands whenever I need a sitter! I will definitely be using her again!”

“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!”
“Melissa really cares about Jake and ensures he gets plenty of play and exercise . Melissa is dependable and punctual . Great communication ! We will continue to have Melissa care for Jake.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Chrissy went above and beyond for my two dogs. She was very sweet and the pups loved her as soon as they met her! Chrissy was very quick to respond and gave me detailed updates along with pictures. There were times when I didn’t have cell service and something came up, she handled it perfectly. If you need to leave your pets with someone, I’d highly recommend booking with her. 🙂”
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.
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats, including my own pets as well as pet sitting for friends and family. While I’m new to Rover, I’m definitely not new to caring for animals! I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different personalities and needs, from energetic pets who want lots of playtime and walks to more reserved pets who need patience and time to warm up. I can help with feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, litter boxes, playtime, medications, and other needs that are part of your pet’s normal routine. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets when you can’t be there, and I’ll treat them with the same attention and care I give my own. I work full-time, primarily during evening and nighttime hours, which gives me plenty of daytime availability for pet care! My work schedule varies from week to week, so I often have weekdays and daytime hours available when many pet owners are at work. I keep my Rover calendar updated to reflect my availability and am happy to work with you to find visit or walk times that fit your pet’s normal routine. On my days off, I have even more flexibility for multiple drop-ins, walks, and pets who may need a little extra attention. Feel free to reach out with the dates and times you need—even with my unconventional schedule, I may be available! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I’ll follow their normal routine and your instructions closely, including feeding, medications, walks, and any special needs. I’m careful with doors, gates, and leashes, respectful of your home, and happy to provide updates so you know your pet is safe and well cared for.

My goal is to keep your pets safe, comfortable and entertained while you're away to allow you to feel confident that your pets are well cared for in your absence.
About: My background spans everything from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I do not just monitor pets, I actively engage them. I focus on positive reinforcement, structure, and maintaining your exact home routine. Owners trust me because I treat their pets like my own. You will receive consistent updates, clear communication, and total peace of mind while you are away. Because I work from home, your pet receives my full attention. My flexible routine ensures consistent neighborhood walks, frequent potty breaks, and dedicated companionship all day long. Whether you need overnight boarding, interactive playdates, daily walking, or quick potty breaks, I easily accommodate your schedule. I offer a safe home environment with one friendly dog for constant companionship. Our routine includes daily leashed neighborhood walks and optional off-leash socialization trips to Martin Dog Park. I also provide secure crating at night for a safe, restful sleep.
About: I was born and raised with dogs, cats, birds, and horses. I’ve never known a time in my life without animals! From farm animals to household pets, I’ve cared for them all. I’m a big proponent of positive reinforcement and prioritize gentle care and minimal stress for your pet. I’m comfortable with complex medical needs, seniors, and "quirky" pets. I’m happy to adhere to routines and training for continuity. I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care that I treat my own ❤️ I’m doing animal care full time at the moment so I have a flexible schedule. I can work in midday drop ins, late night check ins, and multiple visits. Whatever works best for you! I’m happy to take your pup on neighborhood walks, play in the yard, or go on outings to Sniffspots or parks. I’ll drop in and check on your cats, give them affection if they’re comfortable, or spend time doing enrichment activities. I’ll treat your home with the same respect as I would my own and can take care of house sitting chores while you’re out of town. At my home, I have a large fenced yard and three very playful dogs. A large greenway runs through my neighborhood and is shaded for year round walks. I can crate your pup separately as needed.
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.
“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!”
“Lucia was outstanding giving Colt an excellent walk every morning during the last two weeks of 2023 leading up to Christmas and New Years when many other dog walkers including the other two ladies who help me with Colt were out of town visiting family members and were unavailable for dog walking and any other services. I was so relieved when Lucia said “yes” to my request to walk Colt the last 14 days of this year consecutively especially since I have been recovering from the flu and sprained ankle injuries this fall. Before I found Lucia several other dog walkers did not respond to my request I’m sure because they had plans for the holidays. Lucia was even willing to come on Christmas morning which really impressed me. Not many other dog walkers are available or interested in helping out during the holidays because they have so many big plans of their own. I will definitely contact Lucia again anytime my other two dog walkers are unavailable or going out of town etc. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a reliable dog walker and she provided very friendly courteous service and she gave me an excellent report on Colt’s status every day. He really bonded with her quickly and I could tell how much he enjoyed spending time with her the last couple of weeks!! I hope that they will get to walk with each other again real soon!”
About: I grew up with dogs most of my life and have a dog of my own now. I’m an experienced pet sitter and have watched multiple friend’s dogs before as well as my parent’s special needs elderly dachshund/lab mix who needed extra care and attention. I also volunteer at a local dog rescue. I love all dogs and feel like I have a special bond with them! My own dog, Remy, has some separation anxiety so I know how important it is to have a communicative dog sitter you can trust. I work from home and ensure that I have time in my schedule to give my own dog and the dogs I watch the needed attention and exercise. I have a flexible schedule and can take them on multiple walks a day if needed. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but I am diligent about taking your dog out and live in a great neighborhood to walk dogs! I don’t crate my dog but I am happy to do it if that is best for your dog. My dog, Remy, is only 8 pounds so I can only accept dogs that do well with smaller dogs. Remy does well with other dogs. He goes to other Rovers who have dogs and goes to day care occasionally. He’s a little shy so it takes a little bit to warm up but he always ends up making a friend.
“Michelle is great! Responds quickly to you, very professional, personable and most importantly great with my dog! She even gave us pointers to getting her to stop pulling while walking and that alone has been a life saver. Could have asked for a better dog walker!”
About: Hi! My name is Catalina and can't wait to take care of your four-legged best friend! I have been taking care of dogs (both my own and other peoples') since I was 10. I am a very active person and I would be honored to walk or dog-sit your dog! I understand each dog is unique and I take the time to get to know them and understand what makes each one happy. I am willing to take them on a run, play fetch or simply take them on a nice, long walk and of course, pamper them with love. There is no greater happiness for me than being with dogs and playing with them. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need more information.
About: I have cared for and owned dogs, along with many other animal/reptile friends for many years. Being involved in 4-H and FFA I have raised a variety of animals. I have two fur kids, Apollo and Astraea, ages 4 and 5 years old who love to eat, play, go hiking and nap. A crested gecko and huge freshwater aquarium call my place home as well. I can make sure your friend gets some extra attention, exercise, and even work on any training or new tricks they are learning. I moved to the area recently and began working from home allowing me some extra time to do this again :). Hope to hear from you soon! Working from home allows a pretty flexible schedule. Just need a days notice to ensure I could stop by if a specific time is needed! I am happy and comfortable assisting your friend based on whatever guidrlines you give! Just let me know what kind of care your friens needs!

“Mary is awesome!! You can tell the love that her and her husband have for animals!! I know my pup will always be well cared for, and shown lots of love when staying with her!! Highly recommend!!”
“Rebeka was absolutely amazing with our dog. He was new to us and we had never boarded him before. She took the time to meet with us beforehand to make sure it was a good fit. She sent multiple updates and photos to help put me at ease. She listened to our requests and did a phenomenal job. I will definitely use her in the future!”
“I needed a boarding for a couple of nights for my dog, Kinako, at the very last minute. Jessica and her family were very accommodating to my request. When we had a meet in the evening before, I had a faith and I knew they are the ones! Kinako immediately made herself comfortable at their home. Their dog is sweet and friendly. They made friends with each other right away. While I was away, it was great to see the update picture, and I felt at ease. When I picked Kinako up, I could tell that she had a wonderful time at their lovely home. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us. Kinako and I are looking forward to the next opportunities.”
“Melanie is not JUST an incredible boarder and dog lover, but an all around beautiful human. I immediately felt at ease about leaving my big boys with her when we met. She sent amazing photos, updates, and was extremely supportive and flexible when my times had to be adjusted. I am even thinking of boarding them with her once a month just because they loved her sooo much. 100,0000,000% Recommend!”
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: I became a dog mom at 19, and have been dog-sitting off and on ever since! While the extra income is always nice, I mainly do it to prevent coming home with a new puppy every week. I treat all the dogs I meet like they're my own and give them as much love as I do to my own babies - an 11 year old Lab mix and 6 year old German Shepherd! They both have loved every dog I've ever had staying at my house. I'm comfortable with all breeds and all ages, and have no problem giving medications if needed. I am available during the daytime for long walks and have a very flexible work schedule, which means a lot of play time for your pup! I’m currently working remote part-time and have the flexibility to choose my own hours, which means I have plenty of spare time during the day to spend with your pup! I treat your pets as if they are my own, giving them the same amount of love and attention if not more! I always make sure they are well cared for and that the client comes home to a clean house and happy pets!
“I cannot say enough great things about this dog sitting family! My two dogs absolutely adored their two kiddos! They enjoyed playing outside with the family's dog, Yogi. Even Rowen, who usually prefers staying inside, joined in on the fun and had a wonderful time.🤗 I felt at ease the whole time I was out of town because they kept me updated and sent pictures. 10/10 would recommend 👌🏽”
“Jacki was an awesome Rover. She provided multiple daily updates with pictures and gave Remi plenty of exercise. Jacki is easy to communicate with and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a Rover!”
“I couldn’t be happier! They treated my girl like family!!! Super accommodating, checking in all the time tons of pics! Honestly I will never board her else where unless I have too! They are the BEST!”
“Taylor did a great job with our Old English Bully. Our Luna is a high energy unique Bully and Taylor was able to keep up! Taylor has great communication and she is mindful about the dogs needs and behaviors. Luna had a great time and we were able to relax and enjoy our time away.”
“Haley was very sweet and wonderful with Berkeley and Milo, sent lots of pictures, and was overall very impressive with two pups who have a lot of love and energy! I doubt they will go anywhere else except to Haley in the future, thank you!”
“Ana was amazing with our dog. She had great communication and sent us pics of our big baby while we were away. He was well taken care of and it was our first experience with rover! Definitely will use Ana again!”
