About: I have experience with cats and elderly dogs. I am great with medications and eye drops. Excited to meet your pets!! Happy to do meet and greets! I work during the day (8-4pm) on weekdays. My fiancé lives with me in our little house in Durham. I am available evenings and weekends! I currently take care of food, water, pets, cuddles, walks, treats, litter boxes, and potty breaks. I am an avid runner and can offer runs for dogs.
About: I can usually take last minute requests, so feel free to ask. I’m caring, respectful of your space, and reliable. in my heart and home, all pets are family and will be treated with such tender love while I’m also happy to reinforce any behaviors you want. tell me your pets quirks and I’ll make their needs my priority. I’ve worked on Rover since 2016, and I adopted my first dog (Bear - a 90lb chocolate lab pit mix) in 2013, and just adopted another pit, Churro Amor, 8/22/25. I’ve had my snake Drako (over 6ft Haitian Tree Boa) for 14 years. I have personal experience with cats, and professional experience working in a vet hospital for almost 2 years until I returned to bartending. I’ve worked at Pet Supermarket in Florida, and volunteered at Carolina Tiger Rescue. you can say animals have been my life and love for a long time 🥰 I am currently working as a bartender and server in a local restaurant, so I am not usually very far from town. I am always available to ask about last minute requests, especially in the case of an emergency. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes and strengths, in many environments, so you can trust me to be able to work well with your dog. I am able to anticipate risks, and avoid populated times and areas if requested/suggested. I also have experience dealing with cats of many temperaments. I am comfortable with whatever level of attention and care (medical, physical, emotional) that your cat may need.
“Angela (and her own little dog and young son) provided a wonderful week for my old, anxious little dog. She kept me posted with her photos and comments - Sandy clearly felt at home and very secure. I will definitely be booking with her whenever we need boarding or day care for Sandy!”

About: I have always had pets throughout my life. Not only have I taken care of the ones I have at home, but since the age of 12, my neighbors and family friends have trusted me to take care of their pets. I take care of their basic needs and I always I make sure to stay and hang out with the pets as well! I’ll play with them, take them on walks, and give them all my attention while I am with them! Even with my full-time school schedule as a graduate student at, I make pet care a natural part of my daily routine. Mornings and evenings are reserved for walks, feedings, and playtime, and weekends allow for more flexible care and attention. I’m committed to giving pets the attention and comfort they need while you’re away! I will care for and play with their pets before and after work. I can feed them, take them on walks, play with them in the yard, and just simply give them company. I am also able to do overnight stays at the pet’s home and dog walking either in the morning or the evening or anytime during the weekends.
“Katherine & her family took amazing care of our pup Willow! We even booked with fairly short notice but they were so welcoming and gave Willow lots of love & attention. We will definitely book with Katherine again!!”


About: I grew up with a toy poodle and around many dogs and cats. I now have a cat and regularly care for friends’ and neighbors’ pets. I work from 8–3 and have a second job from 5–9. I’m up early each day for a 1–2 hour run or walk and would love to bring your dog along! I’m also available for potty breaks, playtime, and attention between jobs and after work. I live in a cozy apartment, which is best suited for smaller pets. For larger dogs or pets who are more comfortable at home, I’m happy to provide care in their familiar environment. I’ll always follow your routines and instructions closely, keep pets supervised and safe, and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love.

Heather put our mind at ease immediately. She took wonderful and loving care of our senior, special needs pup. She sent several photos and updates and when we picked our boy up, it was obvious that he was comfortable and happy. Will definitely book again.

Camille did a great job with our dog. Our dog had frequent walks and playtime. Fortunately for our dog, Camille's niece was also in town and she loved to play fetch and generally play with our dog as well. Camille was very attentive, took plenty of videos and pictures to send to me, communicated well, and was also flexible. Will ask her to help again when needed.

Emily and Lamar were amazing! They took great care of our little guy and he has an absolute blast. They kept us informed and updated the entire stay with pictures and messages. We really appreciate them and can’t wait to book with them in the future. Would highly recommend to anyone!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
