“Lucy was great! I appreciated that she wanted to meet my dog in advance since she would be spending two nights at my place. It was helpful to show her around and introduce her to my anxious dog. Lucy was a prompt responder and clear communicator. My dog was in a good mood when we got home from our trip which gave me peace of mind that he was in good hands and he was comfortable. Would definitely recommend Lucy for future house sitting needs and I hope to work with her again soon.”

“Absolutely wonderful experience! Our pups were happy and calm when we returned home from a long afternoon/evening away. Tatyana definitely understands how to handle large, rambunctious (and love and adorable) dogs. She sent me pics throughout the evening as well, which was so lovely to receive.”


About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was old enough to know what a pet was, whether it’s my own, a neighbor’s, or a friend/family member’s. I love animals, and am considering going into vet work! I have experience with both puppies/kittens and seniors as well :). I can walk, feed, give meds, and do anything you need! I’m a full-time student during the week, but I will always have time to drop-in, or stay overnight. I’m very flexible with my scheduling, so I will happily do whatever you and your pet need! While I can’t offer boarding at my home because I have four roommates, I will care for pets in every way possible no matter what! I know some nice parks for walks, and I’m also happy to chill if they’re a homebody! Again, entirely up to you and your pets needs :)

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses, and have experience in oral med administration with both cats and dogs. I have a soft spot for the big dogs (they're lap-sized if you commit!). I run half marathons so getting good exercise in will be no problem (even in Wisconsin weather!). I'm currently training for distance running, so you can expect great exercise for your pet! Whether it's a long meandering sniff-ari or an intense loop around the neighborhood, I would love to know what fits your dog best. As I'm in your home, your instructions are paramount. You know your pet better than anyone, and I am happy to keep their normal routines in place. I like getting to know each animal and their unique personality, and while I *love* giving snuggles and pets, I understand some pets prefer their space.
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs my whole life. Friends and family have trusted me with everything from daily walks and feeding to overnight stays. I have one cat currently and have done long term fostering for other cats. I work full time, but I am available after 5pm for services on week days. I have no restrictions for house sitting. I am also available on the weekends Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I keep a close eye on pets during walks, use secure leashes/harnesses and follow any routines or instructions you provide.
“Julia was so pleasant and professional! She asked great questions to prepare for her time with Princeton, and you could tell she really cared - Princeton warmed up to her immediately :) I highly recommend Julia and would definitely hire her again!”

“We couldn't have asked for a better experience with our recent Rover sitter! She was absolutely fantastic while watching our dog, Scooby, for the week. From the start, she excelled at being adaptable, seamlessly adjusting to Scooby’s routine and needs without any issues. We also truly appreciated the frequent, reassuring text messages and photos she sent throughout the week, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, she provided Scooby with an incredible amount of love, affection, and exercise—he was a very happy pup when we returned. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

“Gabrielle watched our two dogs over the weekend. Our trip was smoother for peace of mind knowing that they were in good hands! She was responsible, gave updates, took them on walks. We came back to happy pups. You'd be fortunate to book her for dog care!”


About: Currently in medical school so looking to make some extra money. I’m always the first one asked to watch pets for friends, family, and classmates. I’ve got my own fur babies but I can never get enough and love to help ensure other peoples pets are well taken care of when they are away. I love to send photos to update owners. I’m currently in school with a reduced schedule for the summer so I’m able to have a flexible schedule right now. Come fall things will be different I’m used to working with pets who have all manner of needs and personalities. I’ve always been good about making a good bond with new pets and respecting their personal space while also keeping them entertained and safe.
“Elena is amazing!!! I am so glad I found her. She is reliable, responsible and of course - a HUGE animal LOVER! She took amazing care of my THREE dogs and kept me updated with lots of pictures and texts. You will be so pleased if you hire her! Thank you, Elena, for taking such great care of everyone and my home!”

About: Former member of UNC-Chapel Hill Puppy Raisers, a student-led organization that works with puppies in partnership with Ears Eyes Nose and Paws of Chapel Hill on their journey to becoming service animals. I’m currently working part time, so very flexible with the times and days that I am available to help out with your cats or dogs! I have no pets currently so full attention will be devoted to your animal! I have grown up with dogs my entire life and feel comfortable handling all sizes and breeds.
“Talia and Stephanie were great. They were communicative and sent lots of picture updates. I have a pretty shy pup and they did great with him. Will definitely try to book them next time we are out of town.”


“Louisa was excellent! She was so thorough in our meet and greet making sure she was aware of any and all needs Ollie might have. Ollie loved her right away which made me feel very comfortable. Louisa was great at communicating and sent pictures during the sit which I appreciated. Highly recommend her and will certainly have her care for Ollie in the future!”


About: Have been a pet owner all my life. I have had 4 dogs and 2 cats: 2 of the dogs were trained by me since they were puppies and I also have experience raising kittens. Super flexible and easy-going schedule! Due to my part-time job, I am primarily available Sunday-Tuesday; however, my schedule is extremely flexible so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets! With any pet I am responsible for, safety and health are my first priority, as well as keeping them nice and happy! Bathroom breaks, feeding and watering, administering medications with pets of all ages are all things I am comfortable with.
“Quinn was very responsive and easy to communicate with. He was also flexible in setting up a time to do a meet and greet before we left. The dogs were well taken care of and the house was in excellent shape upon our return. Quinn was very thoughtful and tidy and even started laundry for his bedding and towels before we got home.”

We are so lucky to have found Nora! She is so pleasant to be around, and you can tell she has a genuine love for animals. Having a very busy schedule, I especially appreciate how responsive Nora is and that she is willing to be flexible to make sure your pet is taken care of :) I highly recommend her!

Anik was an amazing cat sitter! Excellent communication, genuine care, and incredible attention to detail throughout the entire stay. The cats received so much love and attention. Anik went above and beyond, including taking the time to train French Fry to run on the wheel! That extra effort and patience really showed how much Anik cared about making the cats happy and comfortable. We would definitely book with Anik for future care.

Brenda has a particular ability to work with reactive, challenging dogs, and did a wonderful job with our Jake. Over a period of several weeks she very patiently and skillfully worked with him during visits and walks to gradually gain his trust. By the time she sat with him in our house for a week, he completely accepted and trusted her, and the stay was a huge success. We would highly recommend Brenda, especially for this type of dog.

River is the best type of pet sitter you can imagine. In my experience with 10 days of pet sitting, River was an excellent communicator, cared deeply about our two little dogs and made sure they were physically and emotionally cared for, and was very respectful and trustworthy when staying in our home. I would put River at the top of any list of excellent pet sitters that are compassionate, knowledgeable, and extremely trustworthy.

Lucy was great with our Chihuahua. When we got home he was healthy happy and had no signs of distress even though this was the 1st time Lucy watched him. Our little guy can get nervous with new people watching him overnight but everything went great! We would be happy to have Lucy watch him again

Lilyian is amazing! On quite short notice after our sitter fell through she came to the rescue. She took amazing care of our cat for a week, going above and beyond. She also left our home in great shape. We will 100% be using her as our regular sitter from now on!

Meghan was absolutely wonderful with Walter and Draco! She was super communicative, followed all of our instructions perfectly, and we felt completely comfortable knowing the boys were in great hands while we were away. Walter has also been dealing with a leg injury, and we really appreciated how attentive Meghan was to the extra instructions we left for him. Everything went smoothly, the boys were happy and well cared for, and we would absolutely have Meghan watch them again. Highly recommend!

I’m so glad that Katie was available for my last-minute booking! She was able to work with my busy, last-minute plans. Katie “got” my dog Jasper right away and took excellent care of him. Tons of pictures, videos, and updates kept me informed and worry-free on my trip. She also took great care of my home while I was away too. My dog has some reactivity needs, and Katie was great with accommodating him and giving him lots of exercise, love, and care. I strongly recommend her services! 10/10!
