“Bailey is a super sitter for sure! On first meet she came ahead of time to ensure our pup was familiar with her and she knew where everything was. She’s amazing with our Rottie, who’s a huge gentle giant that demands lots of love and kisses. She took him to play consistently and ensured he had everything he needed while we were gone. Very mindful and kind sitter. Would absolutely recommend.”
“Kelly was able to accommodate us last minute for a drop in visit for our pup. She was prompt and followed our instructions for our senior boy. We would highly recommend!”
“Samantha did a great job watching my cat Mister. I super appreciated her spending time with him, sending me pictures and taking care of my flowers while I was gone. I'll definitely be booking her again. Thanks Samantha!”
“Thomas has been wonderful with our pup. They have great walks together. He’s kind and responsive, and we feel very comfortable having our big ball of energy of a pup with him!”
“Autumn did an excellent job taking care of my two cats. They liked her immediately at the “meet and greet” and were good friends by the end of the visit! She is very conscientious and provides excellent communications. Highly recommend.”
“Thank you so much for caring for our "special " girl. She is a super sweet kitty when she gets to know you. I love that she actually came out and let you touch her, that's really rare with someone new.”
“Cassie was amazing taking care of our kitty while we were gone for 12 days. She was happy, healthy, and well fed when we arrived home!! Totally recommend her for pet sitting your kitty!”
About: I’ve had 4 dogs in my life and have taken care of family friend pets since I was 12. I am a very calm sitter and have an excellent attention to detail. I am a graduate student who is usually on campus between 9am and 5pm Monday-Friday. I am flexible to come by before/after and house sit if need be! I take my client’s pets on walks, feed them regularly, give them treats and belly rubs. I also enjoy just spending quality time with my clients pets and will spend time relaxing with them and making them feel comfortable! I am really good with plants and can help out around the house if requested!
“Aspen was great!! We appreciate her following all instructions for all 3 of our dogs, all of our dogs were very happy when we got home. We would definitely have Aspen watch them again!”
“Ria was a life saver! My original pet sitter dropped out on me last minute, and Ria was able to help me out at the buzzer. She took excellent care of my two dogs. I am so grateful for her!”
About: I have had dogs since a very young age. I have worked with young dogs, adult dogs, and elderly dogs. I have experience feeding, walking, and playing with dogs. I also have experience administering medicine in pill or syringe form, as well as caring for dogs with epilepsy. I work a 9-5 Monday through Friday, so during the week I would be able to stop by in the early morning, after work, and in the evening. During the weekends, however, I am completely free. I follow any directions the primary caregiver leaves for me, prioritizing keeping the pet's routine as consistent as possible. I will work with the caregiver to ensure they best experience for both them and their furry friends.
“We are so lucky to have Grace walk and spend time with our dog Teddy! She is extremely thoughtful, responsible, and a great communicator. She clearly loves animals and is committed to taking excellent care of them. Couldn’t recommend her services more highly.”
“Kelly was great with my dog Potter! She’s very professional and attentive to details, she took great care of my dog’s needs and he looked so happy in the pictures she shared. 10/10 would recommend Kelly and she’s now my got to sitter in the Carrboro area.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats as pets my entire life, including my current cat, Bandit! I worked in a veterinarian office throughout high school, assisting in the administration of medications and care of animals preparing for/recovering from surgical procedures. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters throughout college, as well as pet sitting for friends, and love caring for animals! I am a recent college graduate and do not start my full-time job until October, so I am highly available for the summer to help care for pets. I have a ton of walking trails near my house and am very happy to walk (or even run, for our high energy furbabies!) as much as your pet desires. My current cat is quite shy, so I am unable to host pets for stays at my house.
“Alissa was amazing!! She was very attentive and gave lots of updates on our two cats. She sent lots of photos and information about them each day. She even did extra things we didn’t ask. She was overall wonderful and I couldn’t have asked for better! Would 100% hire her again!”
“Eva is absolutely wonderful! My dog is usually a bit uneasy around new people, but within five minutes of meeting Eva, he was completely calm—she just has an incredibly soothing disposition. Not only is she fantastic with animals, but she’s also an incredibly reliable and flexible professional. When we missed our flight, she stepped in at the very last minute to cover an extra shift without hesitation. We felt so comfortable knowing our dog was in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Claire was great while she took care of our cat while we were out of town. Very communicative and took initiative to find a way to stop our cat from continuously tipping over her water feeder. Would book again!”

Tab did a great job! They have previous experience with rabbits which is a plus and gave me peace of mind. My rabbits are usually very shy and do not like new people entering their space so it was good to see photos of them relaxed and accepting treats. Would definitely book again!
Megan took absolutely wonderful care of our kitties while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such kind, attentive, and capable hands. She kept us updated, made sure they were happy and comfortable, and clearly treated them like her own. We came home to relaxed, well-cared-for cats and a home just as we left it. We’re so grateful for her care and would trust her again without hesitation.
I've booked Molly twice now to take care of my cat. She is wonderful, reliable, communicates well, and her love for cats is evident. Molly stopped by twice per day and took great care of my cat. I felt completely at ease while I was away and would absolutely recommend Molly to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter.
