“Alexandra was so great with both Poshka & Kolki! She sent me so many pictures & videos of them playing with other dogs & napping. You can tell she does everything to make sure the dogs feel at home. She is great & will def call her again to look after Poshka & Kolki.”
“Lindy helped us out on a bind when our normal sitter backed out on us last minute. She took great care of our dog and even sent us pictures throughout the trip. Her family treated Petunia like one of their own. We look forward to having Petunia stay again the next time.”
“We had never used a dog sitter before and were leary of using one. We found Lilli through Rover and brought our two dogs to her home so they could meet her dogs and to see if we were a good fit for each other. Our dogs loved her dogs and her home and they had a great time staying there. We highly recommend Lilli and will use her services again.”
“Lucia is a very kind person and a great sitter! She has a large, fenced-in yard, two small dogs that got along great with mine, and gave them plenty of attention and care. Highly recommended!”
“Victor was lovely. Incredibly kind and gentle. Their home is very clean and well maintained. They have several areas throughout the home perfect for doggy play and cuddles. A fenced in yard too and long quiet street for walks. Victor was very flexible and helpful not just during this stay but also at a previous booking that I had to cancel due to surgery complications. During our dogs stay we received daily pictures and updates of her and I could tell she was being well loved and played with/walked. I was very happy with this stay and will definitely book with Victor again. He and his family were wonderful. They take great pictures of their guest dogs!”
“Annie was very cooperative in planning for Sadie’s stay with her. We loved receiving the updates and pictures while we were gone. We will keep her in mind in the future as we have the need.”
“Mr Murphys stay with Heather was wonderful. He is a very anxious dog when he is away from his mom and Heather went out of her way to make both Murphy and me feel comfortable and well taken care of. She sent pictures frequently and answered my texts about how he was doing very quickly to reassure me. I was very nervous about leaving him with someone, but I felt totally comfortable with this family. I think he got lots of love and playtime with them. When I picked him up, he went back and sat on Heathers lap on the floor which speaks volumes to me that he thought she was great too. Hopefully we will be back to Pinehurst and he can stay with them again. Can't thank you enough!!!!”
“What a blessing to have found Kimmie!!! I was super anxious about leaving my little girl Emma...I am hardly ever without her!!! But Kimmie really put our minds at ease from the very first time we met and all through Emma's stay. We got lot's of updates and pictures, which made us feel so good. We were looking forward to "Emma and Kimmie texts" :) Kimmie really took care of Emma as if she was her own and I'm sure that my little princess was spoiled and loved on the whole time, including lots of play, walks and snuggles :) Kimmie will be our sitter for any future needs...no doubt about that!!! Thank you for taking such good care of our little girl <3”
About: I have years of experience with both dogs and cats. I have raised dogs from the time they were bottle fed until they were seniors and trained them myself. I currently have a one-year-old golden retriever named Perseus. I have three kids who also love animals and will spoil yours rotten! I am currently taking online classes, so I am home all day and take frequent breaks to walk my dog or let him play outside. I have an unfenced yard, so I will keep the dogs on a leash when outside. My dog Perseus plays off leash but is supervised the whole time. He would love a friend to play with.
“David took great care of my pup while I went out of town. He updated me with messages and pictures each day, which I really appreciated. My pup looked so happy and relaxed, clearly she had a great little vacation too! Highly recommend and would definitely book again.”
“Melanie is an incredible dog sitter. She worked with me on short notice, is very welcoming, and made me feel that my dog will receive the love and care I wanted. Communicates often so you know that your dog is well”
“Jacki was amazing and took such good care of our dog, and she sent constant pictures and updates throughout the stay so we could rest assured that he was enjoying himself and getting all the love and care he could ask for in our absence. Thanks Jacki!”
“Ana was great! She took great care of my dog and stayed in communication. She has a welcoming home. I felt very confident my dog was in good hands. I highly recommend her.”
“Megan provided a great service at last minute notice. Truly grateful for what she and other caregivers do. My fur-baby came home in the same condition I left him in and was happy as ever. She sent pictures daily which provided ease of mind when leaving him. Thank you Megan!”

“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!”
“Mark was amazing! He was extremely attentive during each visit and communicated really well, sending lots of photos that gave us total peace of mind. He truly went out of his way to keep us updated on how our furry baby was doing. We had to book last minute, and even though it was a hectic time because of the holidays, Mark was more than willing to work with us. That meant so much to us. We will absolutely be using him again and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring! 🫶🏼🫶🏼”
“Emerald has done check-ins for my cat a couple times while I was out of town. She is very caring and reliable. She sent updates and photos for each visit. 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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Alyson responded promptly, despite my very short notice. I was pleased. Her communications were clear. I was even more delighted when she connected with my dog in such a fun caring way. I had peace of mind when she cared for our pooch. She took notes in our meet and greet, and when we were gone for six hour for a game, she sent her arrival time, departure time and pictures for both her visits and was punctual and reliable. My dog has always had a dog sitter, some of whom haven’t been able to get my dog to go outside, and this was no issue for Alyson. Thank you. We enjoyed our time away, our team won and so did our pooch. We are grateful and would highly recommend.”
“Izzy was awesome! She was incredibly thorough in her care of our cats. Other sitters in the past have just fed them, cleaned their litter box, and left. Izzy actually stayed, played with the cats, gave them treats, and lots of extra love while we were gone. Highly recommend her! We will be using her again!”
“Jessica was wonderful! She checked in on my cat a couple of times while I was away, making sure the litter box was clean and giving my cat some love and attention in my absence. I really appreciated the updates and cute pictures she sent after each visit — it gave me such peace of mind. I’ll definitely be using Jessica again for future drop-ins!.”
“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!”
“We truly appreciate Tawny for checking in on our fur babies. We are even more grateful she was able to take a last minute booking. Thank you and we highly recommended Tawny.”
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.
“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!”
“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!”

“Lucia is fantastic. She kept my young energetic dog and my old sensitive nervous couch potato! When I picked them up they were both happy and content. I received frequent photos and texts throughout the day along with an end of day report. Will definitely return and also use for overnight boarding.”
“Jacki was incredible! She kept our pups routine and took him on lots of walks. She also was very prompt with communicating and kindly adapted when we had a slight shift in schedule. She also uploaded great photos at the end of everyday. Our pup loved her! Will definitely be using her again!”
“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!”
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 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 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.”
“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!”
“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.”
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 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!
“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❤️”
“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!”
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 visits, 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 can drop in and check on your cats or spend time doing enrichment activities. I’ll treat your home with 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.

“Melissa has been taking very good care of my pug and goes above and beyond in what she does. I feel safe with her walking my dog and entering and exiting my home. I couldn't reccomend her enough.”
“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!”
“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.”
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.
“Such a relief finding such a great sitter! We know our dog is in good hands getting exercise, play time, and socialization- and always detailed notes and pictures how the day was. Found our go-to!”
“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: 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.
“Izzy is great ! My dog absolutely loves her! She’s very responsive and quick to respond! Very reliable and I know my dog will be well taken care of. I would 10/10 recommend her.”
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
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.
About: Hi there! With years of hands-on experience caring for puppies, special needs pets, and senior fur babies, I understand the extra attention and care they require. My boyfriend works in the golf industry so we were in AZ (TPC Scottsdale), MI (Arcadia bluffs), and now we have officially relocated to the lovely Pinehurst NC and ready to start making connections and taking care of the local fur children! Prior to AZ I worked with Buckeye Bulldog Rescue in Ohio, where I fostered multiple dogs and participated in an incredible rescue mission to China, successfully bringing bulldogs back to safety. I’m an active person who can tailor your dog’s experience to their needs and preferences. Whether it’s a hike on a scenic trail or simply staying cozy at home, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. As a former Rover client, I know how nerve wrecking it can be to leave your fur baby in someone else’s care. I was very particular about who I trusted, and I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I watch. You can expect regular updates with unlimited photos and videos, so you’ll always feel connected while you’re away. My goal is to provide a stress-free, safe, and peaceful environment for your pet, giving you peace of mind. Let’s work together to make sure they get everything they need while you’re away! I currently work full time remote during the work week in Pinehurst/Aberdeen NC area but it is very flexible to allow time for morning and afternoon walks, play time, and cuddles! I work in the main living area allowing me to be fully available for any needs! We allow our fur children on the couch as well as the bed but we can adjust depending if the owner prefers crated or other directions. We do have a 2 year old English bulldog female so we would ideally love to meet prior to make sure they are comfortable together. She absolutely loves dogs and people but we also have to make sure she is safe so quick meetup prior is ideal.
“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!! 🙏🙏”
“I am so grateful for Kris! She is so kind and accommodating. Our dogs are a little high maintenance (one has some behavioral issues and the other has special needs) and she was more than happy to take care of them. In the past when we’ve had a poor experience with other walkers my dogs are stressed when I get home. Every time Kris has taken care of my dogs they seem so calm and content! She leaves detailed notes about the visit and sends lots of pictures, which I appreciate. She also stopped by to meet them beforehand to make sure it was a good fit. I would 100% recommend her services and will continue to book with her!”
About: Hello! I'm Hollis and I've been a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for furry friends of all shapes and sizes. I understand that dogs are a part of the family and it is important to find someone to treat and look after your pup as one their own. I have 2 rescues and a large breed dog who all have their unique personalities and quirks. So whether it's a playful pup or a senior dog needing gentle attention, I provide reliable and compassionate care tailored to each pet's needs. I also have experience training and working with service dogs along with working with therapy animals as a mental health professional specializes in animal assisted therapy . I have a senior golden girl who is partially deaf and has arthritis so I am comfortable working with senior dogs as well. Services Offered: Dog Walking: Regular exercise to keep your dog happy and healthy. Drop-In Visits: Quick check-ins for feeding, playtime, and potty breaks. Why Choose Me? Dependable: Your pet's well-being and routine are my top priorities. Experienced: I have had dogs all of my life and I have extensive training in understanding dog body language and behavior. Flexible: Customizable services to fit your schedule and your pet's preferences. Passionate: I treat every dog as if they were my own, with love and respect. Let's schedule a meet-and-greet to discuss how I can provide the best care for your beloved companion. Your dog's happiness is my goal! Contact me to book your pet's next adventure with me! I am in the process of transitioning jobs that will give me more flexibility in my daily work schedule and I also work from home 2 to 3 days a week. During our meet and greet I will ask questions like how gates close, any holes in fences, if your dog is a digger, if your dog is leash reactive or reactive around other dogs, best way to enter the home so the dog isn’t scared or freighted, and how you would like your home locked up after the visit has been completed.
“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.”
“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: 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.

“Alexandra was so great with both Poshka & Kolki! She sent me so many pictures & videos of them playing with other dogs & napping. You can tell she does everything to make sure the dogs feel at home. She is great & will def call her again to look after Poshka & Kolki.”
“Lindy helped us out on a bind when our normal sitter backed out on us last minute. She took great care of our dog and even sent us pictures throughout the trip. Her family treated Petunia like one of their own. We look forward to having Petunia stay again the next time.”
“We had never used a dog sitter before and were leary of using one. We found Lilli through Rover and brought our two dogs to her home so they could meet her dogs and to see if we were a good fit for each other. Our dogs loved her dogs and her home and they had a great time staying there. We highly recommend Lilli and will use her services again.”
“Annie was very cooperative in planning for Sadie’s stay with her. We loved receiving the updates and pictures while we were gone. We will keep her in mind in the future as we have the need.”
“Mr Murphys stay with Heather was wonderful. He is a very anxious dog when he is away from his mom and Heather went out of her way to make both Murphy and me feel comfortable and well taken care of. She sent pictures frequently and answered my texts about how he was doing very quickly to reassure me. I was very nervous about leaving him with someone, but I felt totally comfortable with this family. I think he got lots of love and playtime with them. When I picked him up, he went back and sat on Heathers lap on the floor which speaks volumes to me that he thought she was great too. Hopefully we will be back to Pinehurst and he can stay with them again. Can't thank you enough!!!!”
About: I have years of experience with both dogs and cats. I have raised dogs from the time they were bottle fed until they were seniors and trained them myself. I currently have a one-year-old golden retriever named Perseus. I have three kids who also love animals and will spoil yours rotten! I am currently taking online classes, so I am home all day and take frequent breaks to walk my dog or let him play outside. I have an unfenced yard, so I will keep the dogs on a leash when outside. My dog Perseus plays off leash but is supervised the whole time. He would love a friend to play with.
“David took great care of my pup while I went out of town. He updated me with messages and pictures each day, which I really appreciated. My pup looked so happy and relaxed, clearly she had a great little vacation too! Highly recommend and would definitely book again.”
“Melanie is an incredible dog sitter. She worked with me on short notice, is very welcoming, and made me feel that my dog will receive the love and care I wanted. Communicates often so you know that your dog is well”
“Jacki was amazing and took such good care of our dog, and she sent constant pictures and updates throughout the stay so we could rest assured that he was enjoying himself and getting all the love and care he could ask for in our absence. Thanks Jacki!”
“Ana was great! She took great care of my dog and stayed in communication. She has a welcoming home. I felt very confident my dog was in good hands. I highly recommend her.”
“Megan provided a great service at last minute notice. Truly grateful for what she and other caregivers do. My fur-baby came home in the same condition I left him in and was happy as ever. She sent pictures daily which provided ease of mind when leaving him. Thank you Megan!”
“They took such good care of Zeus, and Zoe. We were sent pics and videos. I think our dogs liked it so much, they miss their new friends. We look forward to next time. Great service.”
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!
“Rebecca was fantastic with our boy!! She took such great care of him, sent plenty of updates, and went above and beyond when he had a health concern. We completely trusted him in her care!!”
“Alex and his family were so kind to watch our hound dog Olive. They sent regular updates and took care of her like she was a part of the family. I felt comfortable knowing that she was being well taken care of when going out of town!”
“Although this is the first Taylor’s sitting Kiki, I can tell Kiki was happy and comfortable at Taylor’s house and played along with Taylor’s dog, a golden retriever. Taylor’s daily photo and sms update of Kiki’s activities gave my wife and me a peace of mind. We are happy and thankful for Taylor’s care of Kiki. We will definitely ask Taylor for help again when needed.”
“Omg, can't Thank Mrs. Carolina enough so nice, and she sent my Furbaby home with a goody bag gift with his custom picture inside! Super cute 😍 Happy Holidays 😊 too her, Beautiful family!”
