“Cassy was already our go-to for drop-in cat-sitting when we adopted a couple of potbelly pigs last year. When we went away last week, we booked Cassy to care for both the cats and the pigs. On her very first visit, she found that the pigs had reacted to their abandonment by ripping several holes in our fence and escaping. Though pig-wrangling was absolutely not part of her job description, she quickly managed to get them back in the enclosure and then worked closely with us by phone for the next 24 hours to find ways of keeping them safe while we hurried back home. She was gracious, compassionate, resourceful, and even able to keep sending us cute photos of the little jerks despite all the trouble they were giving her. I realize most of y'all on here are not looking for pig-sitters, but my point is that Cassy will go above and beyond to keep your animals, whoever they are, safe and happy. We are thankful for her!”

“Thank you Vickie for dropping in on our babies. They were really happy they got to go out for a quick run and eat dinner. You really helped them release some stress while we were out for a few days! Thank you!”
“My spouse and I had to go out of town suddenly, Joshua really worked with us on our schedule. He came, walked both our dogs and works well with them even though they both pull terribly. We will definitely have him come back when we go out of town again.”
“Madison was very nice and easy to work with. I was out of options, and decided to download rover last minute. I am very glad I did because it was a great experience. I highly recommend Madison if you want somebody that cares for your pups and communicates/works with you to satisfy your needs. I will definitely rebook with her in the future.”
“Thank you Katie for popping in Saturday while Todd and I were at my cousin's wedding. And thank you for tolerating Gizmo and his puppy habits :-). Have a Happy Halloween!”
“This was our first pet sitter experience. Lily was very excited but Emily got her calmed down and spent extra time with her to make sure she went potty and got settled before she left.”

“Margaret is the perfect dog sitter! She is reliable, patient, and takes great care of any dog she is around. She is responsive and trustworthy. She will love your dog like it’s one of her own!”
Mackenzie S.
“Mackenzie has been watching our two dogs, three cats, and flock of chickens for the past 3 years. She is very attentive and the animals seem to be happier with her than they are with us! She watches our animals while we are away on vacation for a week at a time, usually three times per year. I never have to worry about them while they are in her care. She also sends updates each day throughout the day so we know our animals are happy and healthy.”

Amanda C.
“Amanda is the only person we trust with our pets when we’re out of town. They are all obsessed with her! In fact, we call her Auntie! She has so much experience with handling and training all types of animals. She frequently pet sits our 2 standard poodles, 2 cats, and takes care of the fish. My pets are my children and I wouldn’t trust them with just anyone. They can really be kind of high maintenance, but she can handle it! I highly recommend her to care for your fur babies as well. Animals are naturally drawn to her and she’s super with them all!”

Paige H.
“I have known Paige since she began raising Danny in 2016. I have never seen someone so excited about dogs and so eager to help him succeed as a service dog. Since Danny didn’t end up making it as a service dog, she was able to adopt him. She adores that dog and takes such good care of him. She puts him before herself sometimes haha.”

Alishia is a great neighbor and dog sitter! I highly recommend. She was communicative the whole trip and made sure my dog was fed, had time to potty, and even some cuddles. I felt my dog and home was safe with her visiting when I needed her. Even when my dog fell sick, she went the extra mile to keep me posted and checking on her. I’m glad she is local to Chapel Hill and will be using her services again.
