House Sitting in Durham

“Katherine was absolutely fantastic! She walked both of our dogs twice a day, kept our home clean and tidy, and communicated with us regularly, which gave us great peace of mind. We came back to happy pups and a spotless house. Highly recommend her!”

“I needed to book last minute arrangements, and Tim responded very quickly. I was nervous about leaving my dogs for the first time with someone we weren't familiar with, and Tim was great! He met my dogs beforehand, and sent me updates regularly! My dogs loved him, and were well taken care of. Thank you!”

“David was a professional from beginning to end. Connected beautifully with my dog, was on time, and did everything needed for Jasmine’s we’ll being. Will definitely be hiring him again at some point.”

“Kathryn is awesome!!!! My husband and I had a bad experience with Rover last June with another sitter and haven’t traveled since. After moving to Connecticut, we decided to give it a shot and test it out again for one night. Kathryn was so kind, polite and reassuring that all will be well after listening to our horrid experience last year. She offered two visits before the actual sitting just to get to know our Pep and us. She always showed up the time she said she would. Pep warmed up to her quickly. Dogs know :) During the sitting, she sent multiple updates and went above and beyond. She did everything she could to make sure pep was accommodated and comfortable! She also respected our home and left it as she found it. Will definitely be booking Kathryn again. We can’t thank you enough”

“Noelle is amazing! We were away for two weeks and she took care of our dog and cat and home as if they were her own. Wonderful communication helped put us at ease. We left loads of instructions and she followed every single one to a T and then some. 😊 thank you so much, Noelle!”

Eliza M.

“Carolyn is amazing! She's super friendly and kind and our dog, Roxy, loved her immediately! Carolyn took Roxy on walks and hikes and took awesome care of her while we were away. She even went above and beyond and also took care of our daughter's leopard gecko during our time away. We will definitely book Carolyn again and 100% recommend her!”

“Jade stayed at our place for a week watching our 2 pups and everything went great! We were kept up to date with pics and details of their days together and overall would recommend! Thanks again Jade!”

Devon R.

“Sadie was wonderful! She is very kind and professional. The house was exactly as we left it and our fur babies were well loved and cared for, we were nervous about using Rover as we never had before but so glad we did. We would trust Sadie watching our home and fur babies anytime!”

Samantha W.

“Emily and Sarah were amazing with our dogs while we were away for the week. They not only cared for our pups with love and attention, but also kept the house spotless and treated our home with respect. We especially appreciated the daily photo updates—they gave us such peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

Jackie B.

“Tasha was amazing! She was here always in time, she was super sweet with our new puppy, who accepted her immediately! She played with her, was attentive to her needs . She would send pictures and videos along the day and once I arrived she informed me of all things that happened. She has an relaxed attitude and the puppy feels this and is relaxed and calmed once Tasha leaves. I cannot thank her enough for all her help!! 😍😍”

Paula C.

“Courtney is a blessing! She took care of my Spencer while I was away in Boston for the day. She took him out for walks, fed him, spent time with him, and he enjoyed her presence with no anxiety. I highly recommend her and will be contacting her again in the future.”

Stace M.

“Paris was great with our puppy Paloma, looked after her at our house and took her on adventures. Paris is knowledgeable about dogs and how to work with them, very friendly and considerate, and a great communicator!”

“Kind, responsible, and trustworthy! Katsu loved Jeff, and it was a very good first experience for me with the platform. Thank you! 🙏🏼”

Mira S.

“Sara took such amazing care of our dog while we were away!! She stayed at our house with Roxy and took care of her for 6 days. Sara sent us lots of pictures and updates throughout the week. She took Roxy on walks, played ball with her in our backyard, gave her lots of love and made sure she was okay during the holiday neighborhood fireworks and in the summer heat. We were so happy with Sara that we already booked her to stay with Roxy for our next vacation in a few weeks!”

Rosa S.

“Brittany is fantastic! I am so at ease when we travel knowing she's caring for our two dogs. She walks them and makes sure they go out regularly, keeps their water bowls stocked, and gives them all the cuddles they demand. Looking forward to our next trip knowing Brittany can be with them :)”

Molly D.

“Sowatey was excellent! He sent several photos and kept me informed the entire time I was away. He is super respectful and truly loves spending time with animals. I highly recommend Sowatey!”

About: I have many years of quality animal experience, starting with caring for my own family farm animals when I was small. I quickly grew a passion for animal care - caring, training and competing with a myriad of animal species throughout my teenage years. I routinely provided in-home and on-farm care for local family pets and animals and I learned many valuable skills from basic care to emergency care and wound management and perhaps even more importantly, animal behavior - how to work with an animal’s unique personality and tendencies rather than against it. These skills I’ve used in my adult life as I continued working with animals and in the veterinary medicine field as an assistant. Now, as I continue my education and further my professional life, it is my goal to bring my experience into the lives of pets that need love and care while their owners are away! I’m currently a student and working part-time, so while I will do my best to be flexible for the needs of your pet, I cannot provide full-time (live-in) care. I can do regular drop-in visits and spend ample time with your furry friend during the week days and weekends. I may occasionally be available for more extensive weekend pet-sitting, so if you need it, feel free to ask and I’ll do my best to accommodate! Help me give your pets the routine they are used to with detailed instructions of how and when you normally care for them! Typically, I prefer to give your pet care every four hours to ensure they are staying busy and quiet while you are away. I can adjust this schedule as needed. I feed and water as needed and determined by you and am able to give medication. I will gladly care for young to senior animals.

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life! I grew up with a senior dog and cats in their late teens, and then got puppies and kittens that I’ve taken care of for over a decade. I’ve watched pets for friends and family, and while I’m new to professional pet care, I’ll treat yours with the same care I’d treat mine. I can fit pet care into virtually any time of most days. I’m a college student home for the summer, so I’m not very busy! I’m very gentle with my pets, and I like to treat them like a friend rather than another type of entity. I respect their boundaries and comfort, and like to see what would be best for them in any given moment. I’m always respectful of other people’s homes, always respect house rules, and am super careful of others’ property.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was little. I have owned dogs, dog sat, and love spending time with them. I recently worked with a trainer with my own dog, and we successfully navigated flying to, and living in, Mexico. People often comment on how well behaved she is! I've recently moved back to the states and am looking for some additional income. What better way than to spend it with dogs? I grew up in the area and am excited to spend time with dogs in the area. I take the time to learn the dog's routines and expectations of the owner's home. This makes the dog's time with me the most natural that it can be.
