About: Hi there! I’m Audra, a lifelong animal lover with a natural ability to connect with pets of all personalities. Whether I’m caring for a shy kitty, an energetic pup, or a senior pet who needs a little extra attention, I always make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. Why pets love me: I’m patient, gentle, and tuned in to each pet’s unique needs I give plenty of playtime, cuddles, and positive reinforcement I’m great at reading body language and helping pets feel comfortable I keep routines consistent so pets feel secure while you're away I spent a lot of time volunteering at an animal shelter, where I worked with everything from energetic puppies and playful kittens to shy, misunderstood, or special-needs pets. That experience taught me how to read body language, build trust, and adapt to each animal’s unique needs. At home, I have a senior dog who has taught me so much about patience, compassion, and the extra care our older pets deserve. I’m very comfortable with administering medications, sticking to specific routines, and giving the gentle support older dogs need to stay comfortable and happy. I am a healthcare professional with a huge love for animals and a schedule that gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I work three days a week, which means I have four full days open for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your furry family member. Why owners trust me: Excellent communication, with updates and adorable photos Dependable and detail-oriented (special diets, meds, routines—I've got it!) Respectful of your home and your pet’s personal comfort Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I love. I treat every pet like family, and I’m here to make your time away easy and stress-free. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! 🐶🐱💛

About: I have been pet sitting since 13 years old and I have been volunteering about three times a week at Orange County Animal Services where I walk and provide enrichment for cats and dogs. I’ve taken care of a variety of animals- dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, lizards, guinea pigs, and even rats. I have experience with all ages, behavior, and energy levels, as well as taking care of multiple animals at one time. I work at Green Beagle Lodge, a daycare and boarding facility where I oversee playgroups and do stuff like cleaning ears and eyes, balming paws, brushing, etc. I work three 12 hours shifts and week, Monday, Wednesday, Saturday, as well as Thursday evenings from 4pm to 7pm. I am available Thursdays before 3pm and all day Sunday, Tuesday, and Friday. I am available for drop in visits, such as a couple time a day to simply feed and walk your dog or cat (or other animal). I can also do more involved pet care, such as staying overnight and hanging out with your fur baby all day!

“Sophie is the best! She takes great care of my fur baby and leaves detailed notes and photos! Couldn’t recommend her more strongly! Very glad to be connected with her!”

About: I have extensive experience providing care and support, whether for people or animals. I’m naturally compassionate and attentive to the needs of any living being, and caring for others has become second nature to me. Since I complete my college coursework online, I have a highly flexible schedule and am available most of the time outside of regular rest hours. I prioritize safety and responsibility, ensuring pets are never left unattended and always have their needs met. You can rely on me to provide consistent, dependable care.

“Jackie was prompt and did a great job walking my 9 month old lab puppy Maple. I would definitely have her back anytime!”

About: Hi, I’m Sierra. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! 🐾 I’m based in Chapel Hill and provide services throughout the Triangle. I currently work with University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My schedule is very flexible and often remote, which allows me to spend extended time in your home for house sitting or provide multiple drop-in visits each day, whatever best fits your pet’s needs. I have over 20 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds and truly love animals. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, breeds, ages, and those with special needs. I began volunteering at animal shelters in my early teens and continued pet sitting for neighbors throughout high school and college. Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals—cats and dogs, along with hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, and even goats—so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Currently, I share my home with three cats: my 16-year-old Maine Coon mix, Leo, and two rescue girls, Indigo and Periwinkle. While I don’t have a dog of my own yet, my family has four, and I plan to adopt one in the future. I’m experienced with administering medications (including insulin), as well as providing baths, light grooming, enrichment, and dog park visits. I’m also happy to help with household tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping your home tidy while you’re away. My goal is to care for your pets just as you would. I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and any special needs so I can provide consistent, loving, and attentive care. Your pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I look forward to caring for your furry family members! 🐶🐱💛 My current role allows me to be able to work remotely so my routine can be very flexible depending on your preferences and pet needs! I’d care for your pets in your home as I’d care for my own pets at home, with all the snuggles, treats and playtime they need!

“Wow did I just meet the nicest person ever? Alexander was so great in every way. Louie loved him and I will absolutely be re-booking!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog owner who would love to care for your pup while you’re away. I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own: an 18-month-old purebred German Shepherd and a 3-year-old Shepherd/Husky mix. They’ve given me plenty of hands-on experience with energetic, strong, playful, and sometimes stubborn dogs! I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Whether your dog needs a long walk, some extra playtime, medication, meals, bathroom breaks, or simply a little companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, and I’ll do my best to keep them comfortable and stick to their normal schedule. One of the biggest advantages I offer is that I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m able to spend substantial time with your dog throughout the day and can accommodate overnight stays when needed. Your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches of time, and I’m happy to provide the attention and companionship they’re used to. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, and I’ll treat both with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your dog and give them a safe, happy, and comfortable experience while you’re away! I work from home, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to take dogs for walks, give them plenty of playtime and attention, and keep up with their regular feeding and bathroom schedules. I’m also available for longer stays and overnight care when needed. Since I’m home throughout the day, your pup can have plenty of companionship rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I’m happy to work around each dog’s individual routine and needs. I currently do not offer boarding in my home because I have two dogs of my own. However, I’m happy to provide pet sitting in your home, where your dog can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment and routine. When caring for a pet, safety and trust are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions before their stay. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own, and I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and care while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: As a lifelong equestrian, I’m a lover of all animals. I’ve done everything from walking dogs, feeding lizards, making friends with shy cats, to administering medication to horses. Animals bring me bunches of joy. I am committed to showing my appreciation for their love through kind, patient, enthusiastic care. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend soon! I’m a full-time graduate student at Duke University! I build my class schedule to be flexible and with plenty of time throughout the day to provide ample care for your pet. However, I do not book over three months in advance to account for sudden, unavoidable lifestyle changes. Both your pet and I will have a blast hanging out together! I love being active and playing, but enjoy a good nap and cuddle session on the couch just as much. Even if your pet is shy, I am willing to take the time to go at their pace to be comfortable. Whatever vibe they bring to the table, I can match it! I’m very thorough and meticulous about health and safety as well. Your pet will be in very good, loving hands.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, I had a dog of my own for about 5 years. I also have a pet slider turtle! I enjoy being able to look after and getting dogs the exercise they need. I am available after 3pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays I am free after 6pm! Occasional weekend availability as needed as well. While caring for pets in client’s homes, I always make sure to get all necessary instructions and guidelines to make sure all pets are safe and comfortable!

About: Hello! I am 38, been in Durham since 2013, and I have lived with several friends who had dogs, so I got my start taking care of them when our human housemates were out of town. One of those longtime housemates is a certified dog trainer who had three dogs when we lived together, so I learned a lot from them about dog care and behavior! In my mid 20’s, I was referred to a friend’s parents for overnight dog sitting. I ended up loving it and have been dog sitting for them for 10+years. I’ve also taken care of their three adult children’s pets when they’re on vacation many times, proving that they trust me with their whole family 💜 Three of the dogs I have taken care of have been seniors with medications, special diets and/or needs, such as more frequent potty breaks, or help getting up and down stairs. I enjoy spending special time with those elderly family members. Since then, I have been referred to several other people for overnight stays. I have a few regular clients whose cats and dogs I stay with as well. I grew up a cat person, rescuing and raising kittens from a feral cat colony in our neighborhood. We had six of our own throughout the years who all lived to be between 18-22 years old! I have also taken care of chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs several times. I love to garden and take care of plants, as I have worked on a couple farms for several years and currently live with someone who owns a landscaping/garden business 🌱 I am currently in between jobs while pursuing a new career. Previously, I have managed catering companies for the last 10 years. While I am job hunting, I am very flexible to spend as much time as needed with your pet! When I am staying with a new dog, I make sure to use the owners’ commands, following their instructions to a ‘T’. I believe that dogs can sense when someone isn’t comfortable with them, so I try to establish a trusting relationship where the dog will respect me while also feeling calm with me, during the time when their person isn’t home. I would love to have repeat clients in order to build a longer relationship with them. It always feels so good when I show up to a client’s house and their pet is as excited to see me as I am to see them💖
