House Sitting in Durham

“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!”

“Kimberly has a beautiful energy that the dogs responded well to. I could tell from the photos she sent that they were having a fabulous time playing with her. When I got home they were safe and sound and relaxed...and even a bit tuckered out, which was perfect considering I'd had a long day!”

“We are so grateful for Briana! We were in a last minute bind and she was able to help. We have a bit of an anxious dog but he is very calm and relaxed with her and she’s been great! We highly recommend”

“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!”

“Tim is great. He’s watched Bella multiples times at this point. His communication pre and during the stay is 10/10. This time he watched two dogs for an entire week. He made sure the dogs were well fed, exercised and given plenty of treats and even left a cute toy for them. I 100 percent recommend booking him.”

“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”

About: Hello! I've been an avid dog lover since I can remember. I have taken care of family and friends pups when they are away. My passion and the companions of a dog has made me want to own a dog of my own. I have my own pup of two years now and know how important it is to leave them with someone who will take great care of them, be safe and of course loved. I work remote Mon-Fri so trust me when I say I have plenty of time to play and walk your pup. They will be in great hands and company! During the weekends, I love taking my pup to an open yet dog secluded park to run, play, and train. I do have long leashes for safety, but if you are not comfortable with it- no worries at all, just please let me know. I'm also available most weekends for boarding per request. I have a pup of my own for your pups company as well! In my home I have a crate and can help with training if requested. The pups are free to roam around the apartment/furniture, and I take out to walk every two hours or so. Your pups will be in good hands, but I do request if your pup has a scheduled routine or specific needs/behaviors to please let me know so I can adjust to their needs and behaviors.

“Michelle was fantastic! She communicated well, sent daily pictures and took great care of our pets and home. We will definitely schedule her again.”

About: I'm who you call when your dog needs to run around and tire themselves out, or when your cat needs to curl up with someone in the sunlight! I grew up taking care of my lovely cockadoo Otis, as well as going on runs with my step-family's energetic black lab and golden retriever. In the years since, I've taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and breeds. I love learning every pet's specific needs, schedule, and energy levels. Excited to meet you and your furry friend exactly where you need! I'm currently working remotely as a writer, so I'll have plenty of time for your pup or your kitty. My schedule is usually quite flexible, and unless I'm out of town, I can make last minute calls work! My own dog was a rescue from the streets of New York City, and we worked very hard to slowly build trust with him, to the point he became the most affectionate dog I've seen! So even if your animal is skittish, I will happily mind their boundaries while showing them all the love I can. I also prioritize an animal's safety above all else, and am extremely attentive to what mischief your pet might be getting up to.

“Sophia was truly amazing. She communicated every step of the way and always reached out with any questions. I appreciated how consistently she kept me informed with updates and photos, and how she let me know when she arrived and left each day. She also gave me helpful summaries of their daily activities so I always knew how Kharma was doing. I came home to a neat and tidy house, the trash taken out, and a very happy dog. It was clear Kharma was well cared for. I’d absolutely trust her again.”

“This was our first experience with River, and Aliana was amazing! She set the bar real high, and we’re going to rebook her whenever we need help with our cats.”

Alison S.

“Dave took excellent care of my dog. He asked great questions to get to know her, facilitated all her favorite activities, and provided a detailed report of their time together. I highly recommend booking services with Dave, he is my first choice for pet care!”

About: Clear communication, consistent updates, and personalized care. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, including medication schedules and specific routines. Can’t wait to meet your dog! -Diana I’m currently working from home part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play and take care of your pup! I’m available for boarding and walks weekdays and most weekends. I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment where your dog can feel comfortable and safe. I closely supervise all activities and ensure doors, gates, and surroundings are always secure.

About: I’ve owned and have taken care of different breeds of dogs. My family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and care for their animals. I have a full time job but I am available after work, overnight and on weekends to walk, feed, play and care for your animals. I take the dogs out for walks and potty breaks before work, crate them if needed, and walks and potty breaks after work and before bed.

“Emily house-sit our dog Amber for 4 days. I cannot recommend her enough and cannot wait to work with her again. First of all, she was able to stop by earlier in the day than I initially set the sitting for, and let Amber out midday and come back later to start the actual sitting. I hugely appreciated this since I made a mistake in the reservation start time. She was great with photo and text updates. From all the photos I could tell how happy Amber was. Her food and medication schedule was kept the same and she had lots of fun with Emily. And I have to say that the house was left immaculate. She went the extra mile to unload the dishwasher that I accidentally left in full, and took out all the trash. None of which were her responsibility but she truly went above and beyond and we appreciated all of it. We cannot wait to have her take care of Amber agan.”

“Meghan was amazing and Otis had a blast!”

“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.

“Shannon always does such a great job watching our pups when we are out of town. We feel so safe with her in our home, taking care of them. She is our go-to gal!”

Lauren G.

“Jade was amazing with my dog and cat. Communication was awesome and Jade even helped my dad deal with my broken water heater. Definitely went above and beyond and highly recommend!”

Mary Kate K.

“Camryn was beyond amazing!! She went above and beyond with her communication from the first request to meet&greet and throughout the sit. My dog fell a bit sick during her stay and she took great care of him (and the carpet). She's very kind and considerate not just towards the pet but also to their humans. I cannot recommend her enough!”
