1. Patricia V.

“Patricia was a blessing to us and our dog. She is definitely a dog whisperer, and Lila bonded with her so readily! Great walks, great photos, lots of love. And Pat is also a serious gardener. She kept the deer away from our lilies, and watered and weeded like it was going out of style. I would book her again in a heartbeat!”


2. Tram H.


“Tram is great. Precisely on time, both to Meet and Greet and to Sitting gig. Responsive to texted questions. Sent photos of dogs playing and hanging out. My dogs loved her.”


3. Avi H.


“This was our first time having Avi stay with our kiddos and she was outstanding. We could tell from the daily pix and texts that they were not only safe with her, but they were comfortable and happy and playful and interacting with her every day. Avi treated them, ourselves, and our house with conscientiousness and care and respect and responded to any questions or requests that we had quickly and clearly. We were very happy and at ease that we'd chosen her and it allowed us to focus more of our energy on our trip, knowing the kiddos were in excellent hands. We've used different pet sitters on Rover in our old location previously and there's been no one I'd recommend more highly than Avi. She's great!”


4. Shy T.

“Shy has done pet sitting to our pup Pacey twice and she is so great. We get daily updates and pictures, a little report card, and she thoughtfully takes care of our mail and house. We will book again if our schedules align.”




5. Kimmy B.

“Kimmy was great! Very easy to communicate with, respectful, and sent updates during her stay. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the Raleigh/Durham area.”


6. Anna T.

“Anna has been great with my cat! She house sits for me because my kitty needs extra attention while I’m gone. She’s trustworthy, super caring, and takes great care of pets. Would highly recommend Anna!”


7. Delia F.

“Delia was very friendly and seemed to really enjoy meeting my babies. I felt very comfortable while I was away and I will definitely plan to use Delia again in the future!”


8. Camille J.

“Camille was incredible with my two older dogs. They are quite needy and she handled all of their quirks and special needs with such great care. She watched them at our house for a week while we were out of town and left the house cleaner than when we left! She gave us updates and sent pictures and videos throughout our time away so we knew the pups were doing alright. I highly recommend her for any of your dog sitting needs!”


9. David P.
About: I've always grown up with a zoo of at least 4 dogs in my house at any one time so I'm well equipped to handle anything and ranging from any ages! Previous house-sitting experience using 'Trusted House-Sitter' taking care of dogs and cats over the last two years. I'm currently enrolled in classes. Most days are 8-5 with my program however I have an hour and a half break for lunches and some days have mornings or afternoons. Willing to be as flexible as possible around these times and free for any time outside of this. Unfortunately cannot board a house at my current home but willing to pet-sit or do drop in visits as needed. Whatever works best for you.


10. Gretchen S.

“Gretchen was delightful to have in my home and care for puppies. She kept me informed and sent lovely pictures. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing my dogs were in good hands. Will be booking with Gretchen again.”


11. Mary Victoria Y.

“Mary was wonderful and communicative, and spent some extra time with my pup over the holidays after experiencing some anxiety. Would absolutely have her take care of my dog again! Thank you!”


12. Elise L.

“Elise took great care of our pup for a few nights while we were out of town!”


13. Maureen R.

“Maureen was wonderful. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our two dogs in her care. She updated us daily and was very responsive. We will definitely use her again”


14. Aye T.
“Aye Tar is one of the best caregivers I know! She goes above and beyond with pet care, always feeding my boys and playing with them lots. She treats them like their own, which I really appreciate! She also has a lot of experience with dogs and cats and regularly updates me with cute and silly pictures.”


15. Nathan S.
“Nathan is a true animal lover. He is very attentive and ensures that their needs are met. He has many years experience caring for animals, including a history of ownership. His love for animals is heartfelt and reciprocated by all the fuzzy faces he meets! I highly recommend Nathan to tend to your pet.”


16. Sherry F.

“Sherry is an AWESOME house/pet sitter for our 2 Shih Tzu's. She communicates well, spends time with the girls, plays with them, loves on them, takes them for walks and field trips - they love her! We came home to a house in perfect order and 2 girls that wondered if they should go home with Sherry instead of staying with us! What more can be said?”


17. Claire C.
“Claire is a phenomenal pet sitter and dog walker! She takes great care of my dog, whether for a quick walk around the block or a week when I'm out of town. She is reliable and communicative.”


18. Melody Z.

“Melody showed such great care for my dog today! She was great about sharing photos and video updates throughout the day and that was so thoughtful of her. I can tell Nola had a blast with her today! Can’t wait until the next visit!”


19. Jessica D.

“Jessica is our new hero. She exhibited incredible professsionalism when working with us and SUCH amazing care of our animals. She stayed in our home just after Christmas when we went to visit family. Even in the cold, she took our very active dog for walks and sent pictures every day of our dog and cat to put us at ease. She even washed the sheets for the bed that she slept in and vacuumed. You could not even tell that anyone had stayed in our home. We are SO happy to have found her and can’t wait to book her again. Thank you, Jessica!!!”


20. Jessica Y.

“Jessica was amazing! She was responsive to any communication and sent pictures of my dog, who looked like he was living his best life. She administered medication, followed our routine, and played ball with him often. My home was clean and well kept when we returned home. I would definitely contact Jessica to watch our pet again!”
