House Sitting in Durham

“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!”

“Brittany was a great sitter for our puppy, Kya, while we were away for Thanksgiving. She was positive, caring and great at communicating updates throughout her stay. I would definitely recommend Brittany - we’ve already booked her in for the next time we’ll be away. Brittany, thanks for being so caring and thoughtful with Kya!”

“David P. takes excellent care of Rudy. Rudy looks forward to his visits. I can honestly say it is like leaving your pet with a trusted friend. I have full confidence that even if an emergency should arise David would handle the situation perfectly. Thank you so much David for your excellence service and commitment. The very definition of integrity is doing the right thing in any given situation whether there is a consequence or not. I wholly endorse David.”

“We just came back from our first vacation in years and Jessica was a huge reason our trip was great. We have two dogs we care deeply for and boarding them for just a weekend was stressful… and expensive! Our older dog has incredible anxiety every time we leave. So we decided to give Rover a try and we’re very happy we did. We met with a couple of sitters before our trip and Jessica impressed us with her flexibility and professionalism so we asked her to dogsit for the three nights we were away. She was great with our dogs and cared for them the way we wanted. In addition, she sent us pictures and texts with updates on the dogs. She made a great impression and completely sold us on Rover. I now feel confident that we can take more relaxing vacations knowing how well she took care of our dogs! I couldn’t have asked for more.”

“Simply put….Exceptional! I cannot give Kathryn enough praise. Our pets are our family and she took that to heart. She kept us updated the minute she walked in the door with pictures and texts. She rarely left their side and any concerns she had she contacted us ASAP! I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation and my pets loved her as much as we did!”

Hollie M.

“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!”

“Adam did great house sitting for me and hanging out with Sammy while I was away. Sammy seemed to be happy I was home, but not stressed out which is always the goal with getting a sitter :) Adam even pulled a couple packages in the house for me that were delivered while I was away. If I need another sitter, I will definitely reach out to Adam!”

“Sarah was an amazing animal and house sitter. Our dogs warmed up to her right away. Even one of the cats came out to snuggle. Sarah checked in every day with pictures and updates. Thank you Sarah! ~Finn, Kida, Nelson and Milo”

Paula 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!! 😍😍”

“Paris took care of Paloma for four nights while Paloma entered her first heat - Paris is knowledgeable and experienced with dogs and knew how to handle everything and gave us tips as well. We’re very thankful and absolutely recommend her to others! I know Paloma is already missing her!”

“Whitnee was great and my dogs loved her!”

Kelli C.

“Kim was awesome. She had a great attention to detail and asked questions to make sure Abby was well taken care of. She kept in contact while we were away. This was great as we did not worry at all! She also made sure our fish and chickens were cared for as well!!”

About: Lifetime of Experience – From Puppies to Seniors, Big to Small! Raised, trained, and cared for animals since childhood, including rescues, strays, and special-needs pets. Skilled in training, hospice care, and even delivering puppies (including breached births!). Reliable transportation and years of shelter volunteer work mean I bring patience, expertise, and a deep love for all animals. Whether your pet needs structured training, extra cuddles, or senior care, they’re in experienced hands! Pet care is the perfect balance to my busy career—it’s how I unwind. My schedule allows me to provide care in the evenings during the week, mornings on weekends, and overnight most nights. I’m also available for multiple-night stays as long as I can work during the day. Animals have always been a grounding force in my life, and I love spending my free time making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I provide care in my clients’ homes, ensuring pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether it’s leash walks, supervised playtime in the yard, or just keeping them company, I tailor my care to their needs. I focus on keeping routines consistent, providing plenty of engagement, and making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away.

About: I started out pet and house sitting for friends and family in high school, and have done so on and off since. A few years ago I started using pet sitting to travel. That has been great! I can administer easy meds. I’ve trained all my dogs. I have a lot of patience and care animals of all kinds and personalities. Availability: I’m currently working remotely so my availability is pretty flexible, but also based around family, travel, etc. Please let me know what specific needs you and your pets have. I’m confident I can accommodate for most arrangements. Safety basics: Keeping food I myself would be tempted by, is always a good start! I can do dog cpr. I am comfortable giving most meds to most animals. My animals safety is of the utmost importance to me, and your pets will be the same. I will follow your rules, and go above and beyond to ensure their safety, comfort, and happiness- in and outside (where applicable) of the home.

About: I started caring for animals when I was 10 years old, this started with horses because I used to horse back ride. I then started to care for dogs throughout the week and weekends. I love animals and will always love yours like they are my own. My services include whatever you need, whether it be walking, grooming, feeding, etc. I also extend my services to other animals if needed. This summer, I will be working but have breaks during the day where I can let out your pet, I also have Fridays off. Your pet is my first priority and I will always make them feel comfortable. Hope to hear from you soon! :) I am currently working full time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM until 4:00 PM. I am a teacher so I am more flexible after work, on the weekends, and in the summer. I have two dogs who are husky mixes. I have a fully fenced in yard and make sure my dogs get exercise and play time daily. If it's nice out on the weekends, they are outside all day with activities. I have strictly indoor cats so I never leave the doors open and always make sure I am aware of my surroundings before going outside.

“I've had the pleasure of booking Carley twice now, and both times have been fantastic! She is reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals.”

“Christine was fantastic! We have five cats that she watched for us on short notice while we were out of town over the weekend - two of the cats are special-needs and need medication, and two of the cats are fosters that required special handling. Christine did a great job handling the medication and special care of all of our cats, and she texted me photos and updates regularly!”

“Kellie was so wonderful with our dog Russell. We were abroad for 2 weeks and she sent us pictures and updated his activities for us to share. He loves her and so do we! She also took great care of the house and we found everything in tip top order. I can not recommend her more highly!! And we will hire her again to watch Russell. Thank you Kellie XXXXOOO”
