“Jayme did am AMAZING job with Dexter. It was our first time using Rover and our first time having someone outside of our family take care of him. She kept great communication and sent multiple pictures and videos. We will definitely be using her again!”


“Tori is the absolute best! Know that she is taking care of our fur baby, gives us just the best peace of mind!! Kodi loves her. We love her, best of both worlds!”


“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.”


“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!”

“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!”


“Ashley was so helpful and flexible in caring for our dog Riley. Our plans changed weekly and I appreciate Ashley being so patient with us. I recommend Ashley without hesitation.”



“Mr. Ron is extremely professional, he has been great with our dog. He is flexible and has been able to shift when we had something come up and we needed him to change the times he could walk our dog. He’s kind, our dog loves him, and he’s a great American.”


About: You go away? Pet needs to stay? I’m here to play! I have always loved dogs and cats and lived with one or both almost every day of my life. Once I see an animal I love and care for them as if they were my own. When you leave your animal with me, they will miss you, but they will still feel very loved while you’re gone. I have experience with administering medication and I am comfortable cleaning up typical or atypical messes or accidents. Petsitting is my passion. I love dogs and cats so much but there’s only so many I can keep in my home, so when you hire me, I guarantee your pet will feel loved when you are gone. Work-wise, pet sitting is my #1 priority. If I sit in your home, I will “live” there, as much as is comfortable to you. I have 2 friendly cats, a private, quiet and spacious backyard to run and play with a 6ft fence surrounding the house and garage, with a motion detected flood light. I live with my boyfriend who recently completed his rabies shots after trying to rescue a cat that he witnessed being hit by a car but could not leave it to suffer. We both grew up caring for animals of our own and fully believe that animals deserve every good thing we can give them. We have a baby gate that allows our cats to get to their food and litter boxes and will prevent the dogs from getting to the cat spaces. We have a kitchen, dining room, living room and a bedroom for dogs to spend time with me or have alone time in their crate (at least in their own space if they’d prefer). If I pet sit in your home, I will care for your animals and home as if they were my own. I will try to keep their lives as normal as possible, play with their favorite toys, talk and sing to them.

About: Hey y’all! I used to teach kindergarten at Pinehurst Elementary and am now staying home with my sweet baby girl for the next year! Trying to earn some extra income while getting to love on some pets!! Our family has a sweet 5-year-old Golden Retriever and a 6-year-old cat! Looking forward to getting the chance to love on your babies !! 🐕🐾🐈⬛ I have done pet sitting and had my own personal pets for 14+ years. Let me tell you a little about what I have to offer as a pet sitter. I do house calls for many people around the area. My house calls consist of as frequent as 3-5 visits a day (more if requested) with a guaranteed 30-minute play time. I am willing to work out pricing with multiple animals depending on the care! Rover has an automatic system that will not always provide accurate pricing. Please feel free to reach out and ask any questions regarding care for multiple pets. I would love to take care of your pet/s and treat them like my own while they are in my care! My schedule is very flexible which will allow me the opportunity to love on your fur babies as much as you need! I’m available 7 days a week. I am willing and able to provide quality care that will best serve your pet/s. I will respect and implement all of your house rules.


About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve volunteered with shelters and own three of my own for the last 10 years. I’m currently working from home and hoping to get out of the house for a bit by doing drop in visits or dog walks. I’m available to board dogs as well so long as any furry guest gets along with the dogs already in the house. I’m comfortable administering medication so long as instructions are given. I’m certified in canine CPR. Im happy to cater to the needs of your dog and follow any instructions you provide. As im working from home, im available nearly all the time except for a few virtual meetings during the week. Our normal routine is a short walk in the morning, they hang out with me while I work, maybe a walk or a game at lunch, more work from home, then free in the evening for movie nights/parks/bite to eat somewhere dog friendly. I have a fenced yard with a doggy door to the back. I have also converted my office into a dog room with space for extra crate if that’s what is preferred. Animals are allowed on furniture at the owners discretion. I recognize all owners do things a bit differently and I know how worrisome it can be to leave them with a stranger so I want to put your mind at ease by conforming my care to how you prefer.


About: Professionally, I have 5 years of experience watching animals. Much more with personal experience, having owned animals almost my whole life on and off. I also fostered puppies, and recently adopted a 15 week old lab mix. (8 months old now) She is very friendly and also loves cats (the white lab with freckles in most pics). I also have 2 cats that are VERY good with dogs. Cats take more time, but I have cat rooms with cat walls, and spaces to separate if necessary. They will get all the love and care they need. Some cats adjust same day and fit right in. Some take more time, or don’t want to be bothered during their stay. Either way, we make sure to take very good care of them. I have a lot more experience with smaller/medium breeds, and prefer small to medium dogs. Our home is big with plenty of space, and we have a park close to us that we enjoy walking to often. I am fairly active, so they will get plenty of excercise between myself, husband and kids for dogs staying overnight. I work from home, so am very flexible around school drop offs and pickups. I can take 1-2 dogs overnight, and I promise they will get the love and attention they need. I have 1 older girl who help me keep a close eye on things. For dogs that get into things, we block off back rooms to keep them close for safety reasons. We have baby gates and clean very well before visits.

About: I have always owned dogs of different sizes and breeds! I also have extensive experience with exotics (guinea pigs, ferrets, chinchillas, rabbits, etc), cats, and livestock (chickens, pigs, small ruminants, etc). My education comes from NC State University with a minor in Animal Science, I volunteer regularly with Caring Hearts for Canines, and am a certified Canine Care and Training Instructor though the AKC. I am comfortable giving medications including injections and with basic grooming. I do work as a full time teacher so most of my availability will be weekends and school holidays. Some weekday nights and evenings may be available as well depending on the need. I have a fenced in yard that is close to two acres in size with access to woods for dogs to explore! When caring for animals in your home, I would be happy to follow any requirements to fit your pet's needs including playtime, potty breaks, feeding, bathing, giving medications, etc.

About: Animal lover (minus snakes!), who is looking to teach my boys (14 & 11), the responsibilities of having a job. They will assist me with scheduling, pet care duties, and communication. We have a 2.5 yr old Berniedoodle so we are comfortable with large dogs. Thank you for the opportunity to help teach my children valuable life skills! I own a small, home-based business so I have flexibility in my day, and evening, to assist you with the needs of your fur baby! I will follow your lead on what services you are specially looking for in the care of your fur baby. Does your dog(s) need to use the restroom? Be fed? Have a little play time? Be taken out of, or put in, a crate?

About: I will go the extra mile to make sure your pup is well loved, hydrated, fed, and exercised. I am new to the area and am eager to explore with a furry friend that I cannot financially support currently, so I will love and care for it like my own. I just moved to Southern Pines, and am looking for any kind of word I can. My experience having dogs in my house all my life has made me responsible and capable of taking care of any kind of dog. We have a very safe apartment complex that we take long walks around many times a day to keep your pup happy and comfortable. If your dog is also a competent swimmer we have a nearby lake with public swimming spots to enjoy.

About: Need someone who knows what they’re doing? Well look no further, I have worked in a kennel since I was 12 years old. I’ve dealt with little and big dogs as well as cats and other animals of the sorts. I have dog sat for multiple days on end as well as made drop in visits. If you want your dog/puppy or kitten/cats to be loved unconditionally and treated like family bring them on over! Or hey! I can go there. I plan to provide the upmost care. What I would like to be provided: Kennel/crates (but I have a big one that fits 2 dogs at a time if friendly enough) Food (I have some, but dogs stomachs tend to be so sensitive I would hate for your furbabies to feel unwell due to food change) Extra toys ( my dogs don’t mind sharing one bit! But I’ve learned the scent of their home/owner makes them more comfortable!) So book me starting today! Much love for animals and would love to help out✨ I am a stay at home mom, so I am here all day to give love, attention, and care. I have the ability to take care of your babies all day with minimal time out of the house I have two fur babies to keep yours company and to play with, I also have a fenced in back yard . Stay at home mom, I am home for the better part of the day therefore your furbaby will have plenty of interaction, attention, and love I have a fenced in with two friendly dogs, belle may bark a little and try to show that this is her house but once she warms up she is fine! Archie on the other hand just keeps to himself and will stay out of the way!

About: I am a lifelong l lover of all animals. As a kid I had dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and fish. As often as I could be, I was outside looking for all types of animals and exploring nature. Currently I have 3 dogs, a cat, and 2 beautiful little girls. One of my dogs is diabetic and I have to administer insulin daily. I have a lot of experience caring for many animals with different dietary and health needs. Right now, I am a stay at home dad. My wife is off work for the Summer, so I will have time available to help care for your pets. My children will also be starting pre-school in the Fall so I will have plenty of time available for pet visits.
