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!”

Thank you for taking such good care of our little girl <3”
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: 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!
“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!”

I feel that she went above and beyond in her services. I could see that my cat felt safe and loved her from the photos she sent, but also when we got home he was happy as could be.”
“Jessica went above and beyond what we’d expect from our cat sitter! We are so grateful that we knew our cat was in good hands and that he’d get a lot of love while we were away! We highly recommend Jessica and would absolutely use her again!”

About: I have taken care of my oldest cat now for three years and more to come. I have also watched my coworkers cats making sure I came at least 2 times a day to feed, play, and clean the litter box after them. I would love to make new cat friends that I can look after.
“Tori is AWESOME! She walks my puppy weekly and recently checked on my cat while I was out of town. She sends pictures and provides updates about the visits, which give me so much peace of mind. My pets adore her and I’m so glad we connected through Rover!”
“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!”
About: I have several years of cat fostering experience with multiple shelters. I no longer have the space to foster and can't own a cat myself, so I'm delighted for any opportunity to spend time with kitty friends. I have experience with cats and kittens of all ages and temperaments.

“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!”
“Hannah did such a great job looking after our kitty! We have an indoor cat who likes to sit on the porch during summers and Hannah brought Anna-Murph outside every day to give her air/bird-watching time. We trusted Hannah in our house while away for vacation and she was incredibly respectful of not only our kitty but also our home. Hope to use her 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!!”
“Christopher and Abigail are EXACTLY the folks you want taking care of your furry fam. I received excellent communication, thorough check ins, good feedback, and patience (as I was navigating this app for the first time and in a panic). I appreciate how well they listened and the notes I received. My house was in perfect order when I returned. My animals were happy and well taken care of. I could not ask for more!”
“Lucia is pretty much the only one my shy scaredy cat likes, she immediately won Ave over and got Ave to trust her! I feel 1000x better when I’m gone knowing Lucia is there. Would HIGHLY recommend and will continue to rebook with her (pretty sure this is the third or fourth time - every one has been excellent). Also very communicative, responsible, nice and takes plenty of pics! Thank you so much, really appreciate you.”
“Samantha did an amazing job with my three cats! They are very spoiled and needy and require a little of extra attention. She was very attentive and sent a lot of pictures so I was able to see her interactions with them. I could not be more pleased with the service she provided. My cats are my babies, and it felt great that I knew I could trust her completely!!”

“Jacki was awesome. We are pleased with her professionalism. Loved seeing photos during the day. One of our dogs can be skittish, but quickly warmed up to Jacki. Great to feel safe leaving our babies with her.”
“Charlotte had a great day with Lilli and her family! We are thinking she will be in the rotation now for my Charli girl. So many cute pics and I could tell she was loved. I was nervous since it was a first day. But Charlotte was tired when she came home so she must have been played and cuddled. We look forward to spending the week with Lilli and her pups!”
“I would absolutely use Jeanette again for doggy daycare and boarding! My dog, Lacey, had back surgery and had to relearn how to walk. She still has some special needs, and Jeanette provided outstanding care throughout. She and her own dog welcomed Lacey, and the two became great buddies. Lacey loved spending time in the large, fenced-in yard, which gave her plenty of space to explore and enjoy. She also made herself comfy on the couch for her afternoon naps, clearly feeling safe and at home. I appreciated the frequent updates and the many adorable pictures that reassured me she was in loving hands. Jeanette is a true professional who takes her role seriously, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for dedicated, compassionate care for their pup.”
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.
“I really enjoyed working with Jennifer in setting up Marvel's appointment. She was flexible with my schedule and very responsive to all of my questions! Marvel was well taken care of during her stay and enjoyed the company of Jennifer's small dog. Jenn made sure Marvel felt at home and we will make sure to be back!”
“My girl Rizzo LOVES hanging at Alexandria’s house and I enjoy working with her! She sends great pictures and updates, Rizzo gets so excited to go over there so I know she is being well cared for.”
About: I have tons of experience in doggy day care, and my husband and I moved to the area 3 years ago. He is active duty ARMY, so he can be gone a lot, and what better way to fill the time than with furry friends! I will love your dog like my own. I go to the gym in the morning, than I am home the rest of the day! We will have plenty of time for walks and play time and I hope you meet you and you furry friend soon! I am getting my masters degree in nutrition from an online university so I do all of my work from home! It is the perfect home for your doggie too! I will love your pet as you do! Walk and feed in the morning and then feed and a walk after dinner plus the dog gets free roam in and out of the house because we have a fully fenced in yard I’m a stay at home mom with two little kids! They are two and five. We have a huge fenced in yard and I am never gone for more than an hour or two.
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 were on vacation from Louisiana during the fourth of July weekend and needed one day to ourselves with out Sara. Katie did wonderful. She constantly was sending pictures and updates. Sara was just exhausted when we got home, and slept like a beauty on the 8 hour drive home the next day. If I lived in the area I would defiantly be a repeat customer!”
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.
“Rebecca took really good care of my boys. They were completely worn out by the time they got home. I really appreciate her quick response to my last minute request. She really saved the day keeping my 2, 8 month old puppies.”
“Kristina was absolutely AMAZING with our sweet Ozzy girl ❤️ She kept us updated and sent tons of pictures and videos of Ozzy & her beautiful pup Murphy hanging out and playing together! Would recommend her to anyone who wants the best of the best for their fur baby❤️”
“Shea is awesome! Messaged me throughout the day with updates on Pepper (doggy day care at sitter's house). Our dogs got along really well and played hard! Definitely rebooking and recommend.”
“Alexander was amazing with our pup Blue. He was very communicative, nice, and welcoming to our boy. He sent photos and updates throughout the day. I felt really safe leaving our boy in his csre Blue had a really great time, and came home tired from all the fun he had. We will definitely use his services again!”

“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!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 18. I taught my dog play dead. I also taught my mom’s dog to have great recall. I love dogs and am very passionate about them. I am currently working almost full time but I am available 2 days for sure free. I will also come before and after work to make sure that the pets are ok! I will make sure anything that could be poisonous will be out of reach. I will also check that the animals are acting like their normal selves.
“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.”
“Would 100% recommend Lucy! She is so genuine and truly cares about you, your pets and your home and asks great questions to make sure she delivers against your needs and preferences. She provided detailed updates and plenty of pics, from which it was clear my pups loved her!”
About: I have fostered 20+ cats, kittens, and dogs in the past two years. I have experience with animals of all ages, temperaments, and conditions. I also have experience administering medications of all kinds and dealing with all kinds of special issues and circumstances. I am a recent college graduate and have an extremely flexible schedule. I am available for daily visits (early morning and late night included), overnight stays, and one-time visits. I will work with you to create a schedule that is right for your pet! I prioritize a clean and healthy environment for all pets. My dogs at home have a fenced in yard and are crate trained. Cats in my care will have their litter boxes cleaned daily!
“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!”
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 taken care of small and large dogs. I own an anxious queen who needs lots of special attention, and she’s taught me a lot of dog behavior and signs. I’m a teacher on summer break, so I have all day to spend exercising your pup! I take my own dog on lots of walks, but am mindful of the heat and need for hydration. I pay attention to what the dog is comfortable with and love on them like they’re my own (treats, pets, play, encouraging words, etc.). If they need space, though, I understand.
“Kelly did an outstanding job walking Colt for me on Thursday and Friday mornings this week while my regular dog walker Tara was out of town visiting her daughter at college in Florida. Kelly was right on time every day and she bonded quickly with Colt and she really impressed Tara also when she came over a couple of weeks ago for a meet and greet and walked the route with Tara and Colt. Kelly walked Colt over 2 miles each morning in an hour very consistent with his walks with Tara and myself when I walk him on the weekends. She responded promptly to my request when I first contacted her and Kelly definitely exceeded my expectations!! She is very friendly and courteous and made me feel confident and completely at ease with walking Colt and I’m so glad that she is very physically fit to give Colt great exercise walking in the woods and around the two horse pastures in the early mornings when Colt is feeling his best and most active. I will definitely want and need her assistance again very soon in the near future since Tara travels out of state fairly often to visit her family.”
“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: I love animals especially dogs! I regularly volunteer at a dog shelter, have owned dogs my whole life, and believe every dog deserves to have the best day ever! I am available for walks, taking them to the park, playing fetch, or coming into your home for visits. I’m currently in between jobs so I have lots of time to spend with your pet! If you need walks daily or vacation I’m your girl I make sure the pets I’m caring for are safe, have water and food, activity, and a comfy place to sit, I am willing to follow your instructions
“I would highly recommend Izzy to anyone looking for care for their pup! She gave amazing updates during her time with my dog and he had the happiest look on his face in every pic she shared!!”
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.
About: Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve spent time looking after pets for friends, family, and neighbors—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I pay close attention to their personalities and needs so they feel right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I build my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I ensure each pet receives consistent attention, exercise, and care. I keep my schedule organized so I can be reliable and fully present for every visit. I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest and most relaxed. I stick to their usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, and downtime—so nothing feels disrupted while you’re away. I spend quality time with each pet, not just quick visits, and always make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. I also keep you updated so you have peace of mind.
“Shelby is amazing!! She was very thorough in our meet & greet and immediately made me feel comfortable. Fin absolutely adored her and she sent pics and updates. Would definitely use her again!”
About: I have owned and fostered dogs for years. As a stay at home mom, dogs will get plenty of love and attention and a big fenced yard to play in. I have plenty of time to dedicate to dogs. I stay at home during the day and can be available most any time to provide care. I have a large fenced in yard with two playful pups of my own. Both are fixed, one is small and one is medium sized. I also have 2 children, one toddler and one 9 year old who understand animal respect and love to play.

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: 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!
“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!”
“When I returned, Zeke was his usual tail-wagging self, and it was obvious he’d been cared for like family. The peace of mind I had knowing Zeke was safe and happy is priceless.”
“Wonderful couple, great communication throughout the whole process. My dog fell in love with them from the first time he saw them and didn’t want to leave when it was time to go. Definitely recommend 100%🫶🏽”
“Jackie was amazing! My husband and I were actually getting married the week while Jackie was watching both of our pups! Let’s just say she was so phenomenal that our dogs were the one thing neither of us had to worry about! They were happy, healthy, and had plenty of exercise! Thank you again!”
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!
“10 out of 10 recommend. My fur baby seemed to be well taken care of. They would send pics and videos of updates, which I really liked. It honestly looked like she had a mini vacation lol”
