“Thank you for taking such great care of Wilmer! I really appreciated all the photo updates and seeing the fun walks he was going on. It made me feel happy to see updates and reassured while I was away knowing he was in good hands. Would definitely book again.”
“Victor is nothing short of amazing! I was nervous at first for my little one but after the first day of my dog staying with Victor, all worries I had went away. Constantly kept me updated with how my dog was doing everyday, I loved the fact that he kept making new friends! Victor was also very accommodating even if things were at the last minute, safe to say I couldn’t be happier that I found an amazing dog sitter for my little one. Thank you for everything Victor!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my 2-month-old puppy, Stella! She treated her like her own—giving her so much love, care, and attention. She sent me updates three times a day (with the sweetest photos and notes), kept me completely at ease while I was away, and even surprised Stella with a new toy. I could tell she genuinely cared for her and went above and beyond. I’m so thankful for the peace of mind she gave me, and I’d trust her with Stella anytime!”
“Lindy was an excellent sitter for my dog, Max. She was very accommodating and even squeezed him in at the last minute over the Thanksgiving break. She was super communicative, sent pictures and messages every day and a couple videos too when I first dropped him off because she knew I was a nervous Mom. She washed his sheet and slobber rags when I picked him up, gave him a refresh and sent him home with some puppy treats! Lindy will be the only person I will leave my Max with if my sister is not available, she was AWESOME!!!”
“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 ?)”
“Alexandra was awesome! She sent so many pictures and Keno looked really happy! She knew we were nervous about whether she would eat, so she even sent videos of her eating. It really helped us feel at ease. We don’t go away often, but now we know that we can.”
“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!”
“Jennifer did awesome with Bucky! She sent lots of pictures and took great care of him. Bucky got some good playtime in during his stay too and he can’t wait to return!”
“She was available last minute for us in a family emergency. First time for Harvey to stay with her and he was very comfortable and happy when we returned to pick him up.”
“Kat took such great care of Tux! She came home happy and so much less stressed than when she has to stay at a boarder. She sent me pictures of the fun and cuddles they shared. I will definitely rebook for our next weekend trip!”
“Ana is amazing!!! We had a previous bad experience and were nervous leaving our Bella again. Ana took all of our worries away! She kept me informed, sent photos and made sure Bella was comfortable in her home. She is already booked for our next trip!”
“Rebeka is a confident, attentive and reliable. Easy to meet with, communicate with, and our pup came home happy and well cared for. Would recommend and use again without hesitation.”
“Milo had such a good time and Michel gave multiple updates each day! I will definitely use her again. I also want to note, he played outside quite a bit with her dogs but didn’t come back smelly which was so surprising! Definitely taking my baby to her again the next time we need a sitter ☺️”
“Whitney was so great with both Poshka & Kolki. She sent updates & pictures. I felt very calm leaving both dogs with her from the beginning & I could tell they were very happy & well cared for when I picked them up. Will definitely book with her again!”
“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 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.
“Samantha was amazing. She was great at communicating regularly and always sent adorable pictures of our cat. Extremely grateful for her care and kindness. Highly recommend.”
“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!”
“Hannah is one of the most thoughtful sitters. We got into a tough situation with our dog, who was not supposed to be home, and she immediately came to the rescue without any hesitation. I will always rebook with Hannah!”
“Alanna took care of my two kitties for 6 days. I honestly don’t feel comfortable leaving them with anyone else but her. She sent me the cutest pictures and videos of them playing and cuddling. This is my 2nd booking with Alanna and definitely not the last :). Thank you Alanna!”
“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!”
“Christy was wonderful! She leaves thorough reports and multiple pictures. Christy is easy to communicate with and prompt in her responses. Most importantly, Callie really seems to like her!”

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!”
“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. ❤️🐾”

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.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Manly
“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: 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!
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.

“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!”
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: 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 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.
“Jennifer and her fur babies were very welcoming. My little Lupe was a little shy initially but Jennifer helped her feel right at home. This is the first time that Lupe stays somewhere without her brother and I think I was more stressed about it than she was. Jennifer sent me pictures of Lulu having a good time and it immediately calmed me down. Thank you Jennifer!”
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”
“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!!!”
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.
“This was our first-time leaving Khalessi with anyone and were also apprehensive as to how she would react to Tatyana’s two dogs Nala and Boomer. Since completing her shots, we have not had an opportunity to socialize her with other dogs. Tatyana and her daughter understood our concerns and introduced the dogs, one at a time. Ten minutes after dropping Khalessi off, Tatyana sent a picture showing the dogs playing together. We continued to receive pictures throughout Khalessi’s stay, as well as a video. Tatyana is at the top of our list of sitters to leave Khalessi with. When we arrived to pick Khalessi up, all the dogs came to great us and see Khalessi off.”
“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!”
“Haley was amazing with my puppies. She was instantly liked by my girls. She kept up with pictures throughout the day and updates. They got to play on the splash pad and met new friends! Would recommend her 100% and am so glad I booked her for our vacation.”
“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.”

“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 was incredibly communicative and responsive, even accommodating a last-minute request, which I truly appreciated. She handled my puppy-brained lab so well, and he was completely relaxed by the time he got back!”
“Tara was so sweet and professional during our meet and greet! Luna loved her from the start! She was very flexible with my schedule and gave me very detailed updates on how my girl was doing during her walk and sent great pictures of her having a great time. Highly recommend!”
“Emerald was so wonderful with my pup. She was great at communicating, so friendly, and sent lots of pictures! I will definitely be asking her to walk my dog again!!”
“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: I started on Rover in Las Vegas early 2022 after dog sitting for some military friends there. I love being able to take care of and meet new dogs and animals through this app 💕 if you are looking for care on a weekday I’m available most week days after 3pm . I am a teacher so summers, breaks and weekends I have the most availability I am very responsible And trustworthy when it comes to taking care of pets and being in other peoples homes. I love to go walking and have experience with puppy care and more energetic pups.
“Chelsea is a caring and responsible walker. She makes sure to communicate, she is always willing to help out and I know our dogs are in good hands. One time our dogs made a huge mess at home, she called, gave me an update and not only cleaned the dogs up themselves but also the mess they caused. We thought we would come home to trash and other things all over the place but we could barely tell anything was a miss! Will continue to work with her.”
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.

“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!”
About: Finding someone you trust with your pets is a big deal—whether you need a regular midday walk, a drop-in while you’re away, or someone to settle in with them overnight. My goal is simple: keep your pets happy and comfortable, stick to the routines they know, and give you one less thing to worry about. With 10 years of pet care experience, I’ve learned that every animal is different. I pay attention to the little things—their personalities, habits, comfort levels, and all those quirks that make them them. Some want long walks and plenty of playtime, some are happiest curled up beside me on the couch, and others need a little patience and space before deciding we’re friends. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are. You can count on regular updates, plenty of photos, and communication you won’t have to chase down. Whether I’m there for a 30-minute visit or making your home my home base while you’re away, I take the responsibility seriously. That means thoughtful care for your pets, respect for your home, and attention to the little details that help everything run smoothly. At the end of the day, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are in good hands—whether I’m part of their everyday routine or caring for them while you’re away. And yes, they’re probably getting a few extra cuddles along the way! 😊 My schedule is flexible, which allows me to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for rather than trying to squeeze them in around a traditional workday. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening care, whether that’s a regular part of your pet’s weekly routine or a little extra help when you need it. I’m intentional about how I schedule bookings, so I’m not rushing from one pet to the next. For house sitting, I make your home my home base while you’re away and plan my day around your pets and their normal routine. I may come and go throughout the day, just as I would at home, but I’m mindful of how long your pets are comfortable being alone and make sure they get plenty of time, attention, and company. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re usually happiest and most comfortable. I follow your instructions closely and take the time to learn what’s normal for your pet—from their routine and personality to the little things that help them feel safe and settled. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, medications, feeding routines, and any special instructions specific to your pet and home. I’m also respectful of the trust that comes with being welcomed into someone’s home. I’ll care for your space thoughtfully, keep you updated along the way, and pay attention to anything that seems out of the ordinary. My goal is for you to feel confident that both your pets and your home are in good hands.
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.
About: I've had dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and fish since I was a kid. My family also boarded/walked dogs for a while on here before. I'm very flexible so I can pretty much make anything work. I do some Uber eats as well. Not sure why it's making me put THIS many words here but it's required. I am very careful and caring for my own that I've had over the years. Right now I personally have an iguana that has a lot of particular care needs. And so I understand that everyone else wants their animals to be treated with that same amount of intention.
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 four 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.
“Lucia went above and beyond to make my puppy feel comfortable and happy. Unbelievably great communication throughout, and an absolutely wonderful experience. I will go out of my way to make sure she’s the one I book with ALWAYS, just the best!! 🙏🙏”
About: I grew up on a farm and have always been an animal lover. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats and small animal care. I have 2 dogs and 1 cat of my own and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to take care of your fur babies when needed. I also have experience with pet medication schedules, special diets and senior animals. I am a nurse and currently work PRN so I have a lot of flexibility to meet your pets needs. I am a nurse an currently work PRN so I have a lot of flexibility to care for your fur babies. I am an early bird so early morning visits/walks are no problem at all. I am available Monday - Friday and most weekends. My fur babies are my kids and I treat every furry face I meet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to keep a consistent routine for your pets that allow them to feel comfortable and safe. I have experience in medication administration schedules, special diets, exercise routines for any fur babies that may have physical challenges or disadvantages. 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: 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.

“Thank you for taking such great care of Wilmer! I really appreciated all the photo updates and seeing the fun walks he was going on. It made me feel happy to see updates and reassured while I was away knowing he was in good hands. Would definitely book again.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my 2-month-old puppy, Stella! She treated her like her own—giving her so much love, care, and attention. She sent me updates three times a day (with the sweetest photos and notes), kept me completely at ease while I was away, and even surprised Stella with a new toy. I could tell she genuinely cared for her and went above and beyond. I’m so thankful for the peace of mind she gave me, and I’d trust her with Stella anytime!”
“Lindy was an excellent sitter for my dog, Max. She was very accommodating and even squeezed him in at the last minute over the Thanksgiving break. She was super communicative, sent pictures and messages every day and a couple videos too when I first dropped him off because she knew I was a nervous Mom. She washed his sheet and slobber rags when I picked him up, gave him a refresh and sent him home with some puppy treats! Lindy will be the only person I will leave my Max with if my sister is not available, she was AWESOME!!!”
“Alexandra was awesome! She sent so many pictures and Keno looked really happy! She knew we were nervous about whether she would eat, so she even sent videos of her eating. It really helped us feel at ease. We don’t go away often, but now we know that we can.”
“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!”
“She was available last minute for us in a family emergency. First time for Harvey to stay with her and he was very comfortable and happy when we returned to pick him up.”
“Kat took such great care of Tux! She came home happy and so much less stressed than when she has to stay at a boarder. She sent me pictures of the fun and cuddles they shared. I will definitely rebook for our next weekend trip!”
“Ana is amazing!!! We had a previous bad experience and were nervous leaving our Bella again. Ana took all of our worries away! She kept me informed, sent photos and made sure Bella was comfortable in her home. She is already booked for our next trip!”
“Rebeka is a confident, attentive and reliable. Easy to meet with, communicate with, and our pup came home happy and well cared for. Would recommend and use again without hesitation.”
“Whitney was so great with both Poshka & Kolki. She sent updates & pictures. I felt very calm leaving both dogs with her from the beginning & I could tell they were very happy & well cared for when I picked them up. Will definitely book with her again!”
“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!
“Jordan is incredibly trustworthy and a great communicator. He was very thorough in asking all the necessary questions to care for my dog, introducing his dogs to mine and ensuring my dog was comfortable with them, and getting my dog situated in his home. He gave me plenty of updates and I felt at ease the whole time knowing my dog was well cared for! Would definitely reccomend to anyone!”
“Haley was just outstanding. What was supposed to be 1 overnight turned into all week and Haley was very accommodating. Finn loved his stay there and I would certainly recommend. Kept us up to date each day on how he was doing and how he was interacting with other dogs. Thanks so much.”
“Marina was so good with my sweet Bea. Her home is a safe and calm environment for any dog. Being away from home is so stressful for my Bea, Marina was so calm and accepting and did her best to keep Bea's stress as minimal as possible. Marina is was also very flexible and worked with my last minute work schedule change. Bea loved her time at Marina's and we will definitely have more stays at her home.”
