Kelly stayed at my house with my cat for 10 nights, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Super proactive in communication, sent pics and updates daily, left the house in great shape (I really couldn't tell anyone had been here!) and was flexible in the end when my travel plans changed due to weather. Oh, and I could tell she genuinely enjoyed hanging out with my cat, which makes it all the better. Hope to be able to hire her for future needs!

This is my 2nd time booking with Gabby. My dogs love her. She kept me informed during my entire trip. And she kindly dealt with a few poop accidents. My dogs were well carted for. I will book Gabby for future trips.

Savanna responded promptly to my LAST MINUTE REQUEST for 9 hours of help with 2, maybe 3 dogs. She sent photos and reports through the afternoon and assured me she would still be there, even though I was going to be 30 minutes late getting home. My dogs, fostered for a Border Collie rescue, wanted to follow her out the door. I hope to continue asking for Savanna's help for future dog sitting needs.

Claire did a great job caring for our 9-month-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy while we were out of town for five days. This was our first time leaving him, and she made the experience stress-free with her excellent communication. She sent regular updates and pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned, our pup was happy and well cared for, and the house was spotless. I would absolutely recommend Claire to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Emi was the best dog sitter we’ve used on Rover! Our dog is a rescue with separation anxiety and we had just moved two weeks prior to our travel plans, so I was nervous about finding someone to stay with Buddy, but Emi was so reassuring, communicative, and sent lots of great pictures and videos. I even came home to a sweet handwritten note welcoming us home and recapping her stay. I have no doubt that our dog was in good hands and great company and I cannot recommend Emi’s services enough. It truly makes a difference when you can travel knowing that your pet is being loved on and well cared for. We will certainly be repeat customers!

Jayde watched our dog while we were away and I couldn't have been happier with the experience! From the very beginning she was incredibly reliable and a fantastic communicator. Throughout our time away, Jayde kept me updated with messages, making it easy for me to relax knowing our pup was in good hands. One of the highlights was receiving a cute photo of the two of them together, which truly made my day! Jayde's friendly demeanor and genuine love for animals shone through, and it was clear that our dog felt comfortable & happy. We returned home to a well-cared for dog and a clean house, which speaks volumes about her attention to detail. I highly recommend Jayde to anyone in need of a trustworthy pet sitter. We will definitely reach out to her again in the future.

About: I have been caring for my family's dogs since I was 8 years old (at least!). I have taken care of dogs of a variety of breeds, sizes (small to very large), and ages (puppies to elderly dogs), and I have experience with dogs who require specialized attention due to medical and age-related conditions, extreme anxiety, behavioral challenges (such as leash-reactivity), or house training. I enjoy getting to know each dog and their particular personalities and quirks! My schedule is currently extremely flexible, so I will be available to meet your pet's individual needs. I can drive anywhere in or near the Chapel Hill/Carroboro area to take care of your pet. Beyond providing for the essentials like food and water, regular bathroom breaks, and safety, I am very attentive to a pet's individual needs and strive to make them feel safe and comfortable.

Amanda was absolutely the best walker we ever encountered! She was very punctual responding to our last minute request as we had a complication with our original dog sitting arrangement, she was at our house within one hr of initial response to meet our babies! She watched our 2 large dogs for 1 full week and did a wonderful job doing it! Daily pics of the dogs and summary of the days events came with her service which calmed our nerves as to how they were doing each day! I would trust Amanda 100% with our babies again no questions asked! Thank you again Amanda for accepting our request you really helped us out in a pinch! It’s really hard to find someone that’s trustworthy and responsible like yourself! Thank you again!

If I could give Melody 10 stars, I would! She house sat for me while I was away for a wedding and took wonderful care of my dog and my place. She was so great as at sending photos and sharing what they were up to each day. I loved that we stayed in touch while I was away. Thank you for loving my pup like your own!

Kimberly is a gentle and observant person and makes a great pet sitter. She sat for us for 6 days, one puppy and 3 indoor/outdoor cats. Our puppy gave her a run for her money and she handled it with aplomb. Communicated every day, took the dog to playdates with the neighbors, and left the house spotless in the end. Looking forward to connecting with her in the future.

When choosing a sitter, all things come second to how comfortable I feel while I’m away. When Samantha is taking care of our pups, I feel total certainty they’re receiving wonderful care and attention. This is the quiet sum of all the little things: she’s exceptionally kind thoughtful, she seeks and sets clear expectations, and she clearly demonstrates a committed interest in our pets’ happiness and well-being. We’ll be going to Samantha before we go anywhere else.
