“Awesome person, professional, kind and caring person that took great care of my dog. Upon meeting her and talking to her, I was put at ease and felt that she would take great care of my dog, who is my family. Thanks so much Linda!”
“Annie was absolutely incredible! She took such good care of our six month old golden retriever and provided us lots of pictures and updates while we were out of town for five days! We are so thankful for her!”
“Lucia is AMAZING! She cares for my pups like they are her own! She always sends pictures and updates me a couple of times per day ❤️ The pups always come happy and tired!”
“Jennifer is kind and friendly to both people and dogs. She even sent photos of Daisy while we were away so we could see that all was well. We will ask Jennifer to keep our pup again I'm sure.”
“Lilli is amazing! Took extra time to share updates and help Gilly feel as comfortable as possible. I know she can be a little nervous so thank you for making her feel right at home!”
“Hands down the best experience we have had. She was caring, accommodating, understanding and looked after our two dogs like they were her own. The dogs got plenty of attention and exercise and was flexible with our schedule. In 3 years of using Rover, this was our best experience without question. Thank you so much.”
“Jessica was great in accommodating drop off and pick up times when it suited me best.. My much loved pup immediately felt Jessica’s great energy, and in no time at all was happily wiggling his tail in approval of the new friend he found. through my the stay, Jessica was always reachable, and I was kept updated on Beamer’s mini holiday :)..will surely book Beamer,s next stay with Jessica.”
“Heather and her son took wonderful care of my two dogs. Before booking, we had a meet-and-greet and were even introduced to another dog that would be staying at the same time, which I really appreciated—it showed how much they care about making sure all the dogs get along. They communicated daily and shared plenty of photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Their backyard is perfect for dogs who love to run and play, so my pups got lots of exercise in addition to their walks. I also made the mistake of not packing enough food (our dogs usually don’t eat much when staying with sitters), but they ended up eating every meal. Heather went above and beyond to make sure they were well fed despite my oversight. We will definitely be utilizing Heather for future sitter needs.”
“Ashley was amazing with Sosa. First, She was very accommodating. greeted us with a warm welcome. We will definitely use her again.Also. our Sosa loved her dog Emma!!! Ashley sent pictures and videos to kep us updated about his stay. Thank you Ashley for a wonderful time!!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable setting for my dog lacy.Pictures were great and she had a good time highly recommend as long as I’m in Pinehurst Mary will be my sitter .Thank you so much for keeping and taking care of lacy.Lacy was depressed when we left and she’s never done that speaks a lot for Mary !!”
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!
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.
“I cannot say enough great things about this dog sitting family! My two dogs absolutely adored their two kiddos! They enjoyed playing outside with the family's dog, Yogi. Even Rowen, who usually prefers staying inside, joined in on the fun and had a wonderful time.🤗 I felt at ease the whole time I was out of town because they kept me updated and sent pictures. 10/10 would recommend 👌🏽”
“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”

“Leeann was a fantastic sitter and checked in on our three cats over the course of two weeks during the holidays. She was reliable, communicative, and caring for the cats. Thank you so much Leeann!”
“Melissa was so amazing! She helped us with drop in visits with our cat. She was super sweet with her and took great care of her, and made sure to send lots of photos and updates which were really appreciated! She also made sure that some packages she kindly brought in from the porch for us were out of our cat’s reach (for the cat’s safety and the package’s safety…) Really grateful to her for taking care of our cat, and on such short notice!”
“Lindy is amazing and took great care of our pets over a long weekend. We loved the visit photos and the updates. We definitely recommend and will be using in the future.”
“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!”
“She was great with the cats, and so communicative and sweet! Would highly recommend and will be rebooking with her for sure next time I go on a trip. Thanks Kimmie and kids!”
“Sara has been the best! Needed her to fill in a gap when our regular sitter was on vacation and She bonded immediately with our big guys and loved on them and cared for them like her own dogs. She came to meet us and the dogs to get familiar before her first visit which made me feel so much better since I have big dogs that can be intimidating at first encounter. She was so calm and they took to her immediately! She was always on time and was a great communicator. Will definitely continue to use to take care of moose and Nala!”
“This is the third time we have hired Hailey to watch over our two cats. She excellent with her daily updates and pictures. She always gives detailed review of her visits with photos. The videos she sent were great as we were missing our cats half-way through our trip. Odin and Odie (our cats) have developed a relationship with her. Videos show how affectionate they are with her. Odie is scared of most people but seems to love Hailey. We will continue to hire her as long as she is available.”
“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!”
“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.”
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.
“She did an excellent job as usual. I've booked her before and will continue to as long as she is available. She goes above and beyond to take excellent care of my cats.”
“Allison did a great job checking in on my cat while I was out of town. She was professional, thorough and caring. I will definitely request her help in the future and would recommend her.”
“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!!”
“Jennifer was amazing while doing drop ins for my two cats for two weeks! She went above and beyond for my girls and was very consistent with the updates and photos which I so appreciated. By the end of the second week she even fully earned the trust of my super shy girl who asked for belly pets from her! I’ll definitely be having Jennifer back for my next trip out of town.”
“Mary is so awesome and we love when she takes care of our dogs! She is super responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were ok even in the midst of some bad winter weather! Can’t recommend enough!”
“She was able to help out last minute and kept great communication the whole time. My cat loved her, and she made sure to give him plenty of lovin’ and play with him. She was amazing!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Whispering Pines
“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.”
“Lucia was wonderful and we highly recommend her services! She gave multiple updates throughout the day and took great care of him. We will definitely be going back to Lucia! 😊”

They are two and five. We have a huge fenced in yard and I am never gone for more than an hour or two.
“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!”
“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.”
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!
“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: I've had dogs and cats (and everything else in between) for as long as I can remember! I've walked, boarded, and house-sat for cats and dogs of all kinds. I'm in an in-between phase of life and have a very flexible schedule. Let me know how I can help you with your furry friends! Walks/Runs/Drop-ins: I'm currently not working so I am VERY flexible! With that being said, I still like keeping a schedule of some sort. If you are looking for something consistent throughout the week, I'd love to discuss how I can help with a routine that works for you. House-sitting: I've watched up to three dogs for 8 days. I'm open to pretty much anything but would like to meet your pups/cats/other beforehand. I can board but that is dependent on the dog since I have a cat at home. Open to discussion! My home has a fenced in yard for those pups that want to roam.
“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!”
“We needed a last minute sitter for a few hours and Christina was incredibly accommodating, communicative and friendly. We felt comfortable leaving our pup the minute we arrived :) thank you for everything Christina!! Definitely looked like our pup had a good time!”
“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.”
“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”
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.
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: 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!
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.
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”

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: 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.
About: When I was a baby I had a dog making sure I didn’t fall over, and I have grown up with dogs ever since. My family currently has a golden retriever and a Bernese mountain dog that I only get to see over winter and summer break. And I have experience with puppies (and their shark teeth) as young as 10 weeks old. I am a recent graduate who is working part time as a delivery driver from 3 to 8 on Wednesday Thursday and Friday, so I have plenty of free time to look after your pups and take them on walks! Otherwise, I am a volunteer coach for the Bloomsburg Men’s soccer team from 8 am to 10 am a couple days a week. I have plenty of experience when it comes to letting dogs out and taking care of them. I am the youngest of 3 kids and was the only one home over CoVid with my families two dogs and took care of them. I have a vehicle so I am able to travel to your house to play with and take care of your furry child!
“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: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Because I’ve always had pets of my own, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust looking after your furry family members. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply keeping a routine, I’m here to provide dependable, caring support for your pets. I’m currently a senior in high school, and my class schedule is very flexible. I only have classes from 2:05-3:45, which means I’m available most of the day for pet care. This allows me plenty of time for walks, check-ins, feeding schedules, and giving your pets the attention they need. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets, I respectfully follow the pet’s normal schedule like handling feedings, walks, potty breaks, medication if needed, and any special instructions you provide. No matter where the care takes place, I’m committed to offering reliable, loving, and attentive service so your pet feels happy and secure while you’re away.
About: Hi!! I’m basically your dog’s dream sitter 🤩✨🤍 I’m super active and love getting outside wheter its running, walking, or hiking. If your dog has energy to burn, I’m your girl. I’ll happily take them on long walks or even runs (yes, your pup might come back more fit than when you left them 😌). I’m also big on balance, so if your dog is more of a “lay in the sun and vibe” type, I’m just as happy giving them all the love, attention, and chill time they want.

I want to make the experience the least stressful and fun for you and your pets as much as possible as I know transitioning to new places can be difficult for your furbabies. If you'd like I can also text you updates and pictures throughout the day so you can have peace of mind. I love working with animals and can't wait to meet you and your dogs (or cats!)! Set up a a meet and greet today or a virtual interview! I’m a pet professional, this is a part of my life and my daily routine. Meeting your pets and telling their adventure stories is my favorite ! Your pets, plants, and home are treated like royalty while you are gone. I clean up after myself and your pets, I observe anything of concern and I ASK if I don’t know. This is my career, I spend my days being a pet nanny and caretaking for many dogs , including my own. My routine is always void of boring days! The safety and care of your pets and home are top priority for me. Their wellbeing emotionally, mentally, and physically are what I am trained to attend to. I try my best to keep the routine as normal as possible for your pets.

“Awesome person, professional, kind and caring person that took great care of my dog. Upon meeting her and talking to her, I was put at ease and felt that she would take great care of my dog, who is my family. Thanks so much Linda!”
“Annie was absolutely incredible! She took such good care of our six month old golden retriever and provided us lots of pictures and updates while we were out of town for five days! We are so thankful for her!”
“Lilli is amazing! Took extra time to share updates and help Gilly feel as comfortable as possible. I know she can be a little nervous so thank you for making her feel right at home!”
“Hands down the best experience we have had. She was caring, accommodating, understanding and looked after our two dogs like they were her own. The dogs got plenty of attention and exercise and was flexible with our schedule. In 3 years of using Rover, this was our best experience without question. Thank you so much.”
“Jessica was great in accommodating drop off and pick up times when it suited me best.. My much loved pup immediately felt Jessica’s great energy, and in no time at all was happily wiggling his tail in approval of the new friend he found. through my the stay, Jessica was always reachable, and I was kept updated on Beamer’s mini holiday :)..will surely book Beamer,s next stay with Jessica.”
“Heather and her son took wonderful care of my two dogs. Before booking, we had a meet-and-greet and were even introduced to another dog that would be staying at the same time, which I really appreciated—it showed how much they care about making sure all the dogs get along. They communicated daily and shared plenty of photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Their backyard is perfect for dogs who love to run and play, so my pups got lots of exercise in addition to their walks. I also made the mistake of not packing enough food (our dogs usually don’t eat much when staying with sitters), but they ended up eating every meal. Heather went above and beyond to make sure they were well fed despite my oversight. We will definitely be utilizing Heather for future sitter needs.”
“Ashley was amazing with Sosa. First, She was very accommodating. greeted us with a warm welcome. We will definitely use her again.Also. our Sosa loved her dog Emma!!! Ashley sent pictures and videos to kep us updated about his stay. Thank you Ashley for a wonderful time!!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable setting for my dog lacy.Pictures were great and she had a good time highly recommend as long as I’m in Pinehurst Mary will be my sitter .Thank you so much for keeping and taking care of lacy.Lacy was depressed when we left and she’s never done that speaks a lot for Mary !!”
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!
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.
“I cannot say enough great things about this dog sitting family! My two dogs absolutely adored their two kiddos! They enjoyed playing outside with the family's dog, Yogi. Even Rowen, who usually prefers staying inside, joined in on the fun and had a wonderful time.🤗 I felt at ease the whole time I was out of town because they kept me updated and sent pictures. 10/10 would recommend 👌🏽”
“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”
“Megan is a great person and amazing care taker. We left our son Monkey 🐶 with her for a week while on vacation and she took great care of him and sent us pictures throughout the week. He was having a blast playing with other dogs and going on walks. 5/5 would definitely recommend and will book again 😁”
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!
“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.”
“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.”
“Jacki was an awesome Rover. She provided multiple daily updates with pictures and gave Remi plenty of exercise. Jacki is easy to communicate with and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a Rover!”
