“Elizabeth was amazing with my dog while I was traveling for work. She sent daily updates and many pictures. I would definitely use her services again.”

“Mary has been a thoughtful and reliable dog sitter for us and our dog. It can be nerve wracking to leave a dog-reactive dog with someone but through my interactions and conversations with Mary I feel that I can trust her judgement and take care of my pup while I’m away. Mary leaves detailed notes about times for meals, walks, and potty times. My dog is always happy to see Mary and we will book with her again.”

About: I have owned 4 dogs in the past 30 years; a Chihuahua/Toy Terrier, a Chihuahua/Shitzu, a Dachshund/Corgi and I recently owned a Toy Poodle - who was elderly, anxious, blind and toothless. She recently crossed the rainbow bridge and I miss her so. She was my world! My past dog sitting experience includes overnight care for; a Keeshond, a Terrier, a medium sized mixed breed, a Japanese Chin/Poodle, a Standard Poodle, a Sheltie, and a Pomeranian. Dogs are my special interest and I enjoy loving and caring for them. My 30 years of experience with different dog breeds and temperaments has shaped my ability to have realistic expectations, intentional patience and flexibility with the individual dog personalities that I have encountered. They are all good dogs and I love them all! I am available most days and evenings. I can make home visits to let your dog/s out, walk your dog/s, and/or pet sit overnight as needed. I am flexible with how I can care for your pet. My intention is to keep your dog/s in the routine that they are familiar with so that they can be the calm, happy dog/s they are destined to be.

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Samantha did such a great job caring for my dog and my home while I was out of town. She gave me updates letting me know when she arrived and when she left. I didn't worry about the wellbeing of my dog during my entire trip. My place was just the way I had left it. She probably left it a little cleaner. lol. I'd definitely use her services again next time I need a sitter. Thanks Sam!!! ?”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and always have to go out of my way to say hello or wave at every dog I see when out and about. I raised and trained my own dog by myself during Covid and she is my life! I take care of my dog along with my girlfriend’s dog. I love all dogs and consider myself a little bit of a dog whisperer. I love being able to spend time with dogs anytime that I can- I always volunteer to watch our neighbors two wiener dogs anytime they need us to help them out. Will give your dog/dogs all the love and attention they need and deserve while also paying attention to any specific requests done details regarding your beloved dog. I know how nervous I get when somebody else watches my dog, and I want to make sure there is no worry or stress. I will of course send updates with photos so you are able to have peace of mind. I am currently in the middle of looking for my next career move, so as of right now my schedule is very open and flexible. Excited to be able to spend my time with as many doggos as I can! I am very conscious of dog safety and have two dogs of my own that I take care of and their safety is always my number one concern. I have grown up with dogs my entire life and love being around all dogs no matter the size or breed. I understand how and what to do in order to make sure safety and trust is always the number one thing. I know it can sometimes be stressful when somebody else watches your dog- so I always go above and beyond to ensure the safety and comfort of all dogs.

“Tatyana is a reliable and caring sitter. She stayed at our house with our 11.5-year-old German Shepherd and provided excellent care, and tremendous peace of mind for us. Having worked at a kennel previously, she is comfortable around all types of dogs (and ours is a big boy). She sent periodic updates and followed our instructions well. We highly recommend her for short or extended care.”

I am also available on the weekends Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities.

“Emma is a very kind hearted person and loves pups. She consistently sent pupdates of my own and played with them. She is an obvious choice for any owner to know your pups are in good hands”

“We were a little anxious leaving our girl with "a stranger" for the first time since she adopted us. Tina made the experience so much easier. She was calm and patient and kept us informed while we were away about how our girl was doing. Our house was kept clean and nothing was out of place. We will use Tina's comforting services again!”

Erin C.

“Stephanie took excellent care of our 4 year old poodle, bonding with him immediately and taking him on nice walks and keeping him happy while we were gone. She even brought her own long leash so he could run around at the park while she made sure he couldn’t take off. Very kind, conscientious sitter!”

Ruth C.

“Asked question about the girls to get to know them. Provided a lot of pictures while we were gone.”

“Travis is truly remarkable! We arranged a meet and greet where he invested time in getting to know our dog. He made sure to understand Remy's needs and ensured a perfect match. Travis went above and beyond by agreeing to house and Dog sit for 8 days. During his stay, Remy not only had the pleasure of regular walks but also relished the companionship at home. It's evident that Travis provided a level of care that exceeded our expectations. Our home was left in pristine condition, and to top it off, our neighbors were quick to compliment Travis on his friendly demeanor. Remy, our Husky German Shepherd Rescue, is eagerly anticipating his next stay with Travis. It's heartening to see such a positive connection between them. Travis has proven to be more than just a sitter; he's become a trusted companion for Remy. We're grateful to have found such a reliable and caring individual for our beloved pet.”

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.

About: I’ve shared my life with animals for over a decade, and my heart truly belongs to dogs and cats. As a homeowner and a "dad" to three pets of my own, I understand that your animals aren't just pets—they’re family. Why Choose Me? -I’ve been with my own buddies for 10 years, navigating everything from post-op surgery care and complex medication schedules to senior "attitudes" and puppy smiles. -I am a hybrid worker with a flexible schedule and my own transportation, making it easy for me to drop in for walks or midday snuggles. - I treat every home with the same care I give my own. You can expect a clean space and frequent, proactive communication so you never have to wonder how things are going. -Whether your pet has a specific routine or a quirky habit, I follow instructions to the letter to ensure their comfort remains consistent. I know the peace of mind that comes with knowing your fur babies are happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m here to provide that same comfort for you. Work mostly from home with one day in the office. Very flexible on needs and schedule! Up early and go to bed late, which makes my schedule open to accommodate the needs of our little fur friends. I respect your space, privacy, and needs to ensure your home is just the way you left it when you return. In my home, we keep a clean ship, organized, and make sure all fir buddies are rewarded with treats when good behaviors are exhibited. With instruction, can be mindful of any special needs for our fur friends. Their health and comfort matters too!
