House Sitting in Bushy Fork

“This was the second long weekend in three weeks that Lily watched our pets. She gave us daily updates and sent us pictures showing how relaxed they all were. We came home to very healthy, happy dogs and cats. We knew they were in good hands and well looked after with Lily.”

About: I have had a dog almost all of my life and cherish each interaction with them. I am patient and reliable and live in downtown Durham. I have a very flexible work from home schedule with minimal advance notice needed for a walk or feeding. I live in the Durham/University area and can travel throughout the triangle. I am a responsible, caring individual with lots of love to give your dog or cat. I cannot host in my home due to HOA restrictions so I can only do overnights at the animals own home.

“Winter was amazing and cared for all 3 of our pups. We received pictures while she was caring for them and had great communication with us. Thank you so much again for caring for our pups! I definitely recommend Winter and will likely book her again in future if she’s available.”

Crystal W.

“Taylor did a wonderful job watching our dog and cats. They were well cared for and she communicated well and did a great job keep us updated and informed. We will definitely use Taylor in the future when we need help.”

“Wen was truly extraordinary! Our pets adored her and when we came back from a fairly long trip, the dogs and cats were nonplussed. I would have like it if they had missed me a bit more, but it speaks volumes for Wen's excellent care and attention for them while we were away. We got regular photos of very happy dogs and cat, snacking, snuggling, walking...it's so wonderful to be away and not worry about them at all. Thank you, Wen! Can't recommend her highly enough. :)”

About: Hi, I'm Meredith! I am an experienced, caring, and trustworthy petsitter. But don't take my word for it! Here's what others have said: "Meredith truly cared about my pets, and I felt completely at ease being away. As someone who’s very picky about who takes care of my dogs, I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter." "Meredith brought peace of mind, warmth, and reliability to our home. I’d trust her with our pets anytime." "Her calm energy and loving nature were exactly what our anxious rescue needed." "Meredith was fantastic. She cared for our home and animals as if they were her own." I’d love the opportunity to care for YOUR pets and your home! Animals have always been a central part of my life. I grew up in a house full of beloved cats and dogs, and I’ve raised several pets of my own as an adult, so caring for animals is truly second nature. I started pet sitting professionally in my 20s and recently returned to it with renewed passion and dedication. I now have over 7 years of direct pet-sitting experience and a lifetime of hands-on care with animals of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. As a responsible, organized, and nurturing high school English teacher with 20 years in the classroom, I bring calm attentiveness and excellent communication to every sit. I’m also a devoted mom to two kind-hearted, respectful animal lovers (ages 8 and 11), who may occasionally accompany me depending on the arrangement. If they do, rest assured they are gentle, supervised, and bring extra love to the experience. Whether it's administering medication to a senior pet, giving special attention to a rescue, or sticking to your pet’s unique routines and needs, I approach every sit with genuine care and commitment. I’m also experienced in basic training, gentle leash walking, and giving animals the calm, consistent presence they need to feel safe. If you have houseplants, I’ve got you covered there, too. I worked in my family’s garden center for years and enjoy keeping plants healthy and thriving. While I’m newer to this platform, I take each sit seriously and treat every home and pet with the utmost respect. I do not smoke, drink, or use drugs of any kind, and I always bring my own groceries and supplies. Communication is clear before, during, and after the stay, and you'll receive regular updates to give you peace of mind. I’m in a meaningful season of transition and using this time to do something I genuinely enjoy: caring for animals while exploring new places. This work blends my love of travel and nurturing in a way that reflects my values. If you feel we might be a good fit, I’d love to connect virtually or in person, when possible. Looking forward to meeting you and your beloved companions! Pet care is a natural, joyful part of my everyday rhythm. As a longtime teacher and mom, I’m used to creating routines that are structured yet flexible, making it easy to adapt to the unique needs of each pet and home. Whether it’s morning walks, medication schedules, mealtime routines, or play and snuggle time, I build my days around ensuring animals feel safe, loved, and cared for. Because I’m in a season of life where I have more flexibility, I’m able to be fully present with the pets I care for and enjoy giving them plenty of attention, consistency, and calm companionship throughout the day. It’s more than just a task in my routine; it’s a grounding and fulfilling part of my life that I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the routines and environment your pet already knows and loves. I follow all instructions closely, whether that means administering medications, preparing special meals, sticking to walk schedules, or providing quiet companionship. I aim to create a calm, consistent atmosphere that feels safe and nurturing, so your pet can relax while you're away. Also, I treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. I’m clean, organized, and attentive to details, and I always communicate clearly throughout the sit to keep you informed and at ease. If my well-behaved, animal-loving children (ages 8 and 11) accompany me, it’s only with prior agreement, and they are gentle, respectful, and supervised at all times. Above all, I care for each animal as if they were my own, with patience, love, and a genuine commitment to their well-being.

“Janine was quick to respond to our initial request for a sitter. This was our first time going out of town without our dog and cat, so we were a bit nervous about the process. She did a great job making us feel comfortable and kept us up to date while we were gone. Will definitely reach out to her again the next time we are needing a sitter!”

“Kayla is fantastic! She’s took great care of our babies and our home and kept us informed. Our vacation was so much more enjoyable knowing she was there.”

Carol S.

“Great sitters. Took good care of my three old dogs! Pictures every day.”
