Dog Sitting in Durham

“We have worked with Kyle and Jessica before and were so grateful they could fit us in on shorter notice while we went out of the country. We came home to happy and calm cats and we cannot recommend these two enough. Thank you both for allowing us to have zero worries while out of town with great communication and personalized updates.”

About: We are a responsible, experienced couple passionate about caring for dogs. I’ve had a dog since I was 8, and my boyfriend has grown up with multiple dogs, giving us years of hands-on experience. We provide attentive care, regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection to ensure your pets feel comfortable, happy, and safe. We are both second-year law students, living near campus and originally from N.C. We are available for dog boarding and dog walking on most weekends and weekdays! We care for pets either in our home or at the client’s home by creating a safe, comfortable, and routine-friendly environment. We live in a dog-friendly apartment with space outside to walk dogs, and in our home, pets receive plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and opportunities to relax in cozy spaces. When visiting a client’s home, we follow the pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walking, and play to maintain consistency and reduce stress. We focus on providing affectionate, attentive care to ensure pets feel happy and secure.

About: I grew up with lots of dogs and will treat your pet like family:) I love being outside and would be so happy to take your doggo on nice, relaxed walks or fun little adventures — whatever fits their vibe! Whether they’re energetic and playful or more laid-back and cuddly, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Your furry friend would be treated with love, with lots of attention, belly rubs, and genuine care. Happy to send photos and check ins when your pet is with me :) I have a pretty flexible position, so I am able to go take care of pets during lunch or as needed. Weekends are very flexible and would love to spend some quality time with your pet! When I’m in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and make it a priority to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions carefully — from feeding and medications to preferred walking routes and house rules. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can feel relaxed knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for.

“Fantastic care taker, consistently and timely here to let my dogs out when my partner and I are working at the same time. Couldn’t do it without you!”

“Michelle was wonderful. She accepted a last minute job to drop in on my puppy very early in the mornings and late at night while I worked night shift. She was extremely punctual and kept me in the loop about feedings, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. She sent adorable photos. I am so appreciative of her and will 100% rebook in the future. Thank you Michelle!”

“Yang was able to watch our cats with very short notice. She clearly did a great job, it seems like even our very shy kitten loved her. Thanks Yang!”

“David is amazing! He is great with our pup Miso and has been incredibly reliable and consistent. We were apprehensive at first about finding someone on Rover, but it was a great decision to book with David. Miso is a big fan and we are too!”

“Kelsey is very friendly, thorough and prompt. Although my cat doesn't come out for sitters, I know that she was well taken care of and respected. I would use Kelsey again!”

About: Hello! My name is Katie, I have hands on experience caring for my own chihuahua and kitten. Skilled in walking, feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, and providing attentive, loving care for pets of different temperaments. I have lots of morning time in my hands so my availability includes the morning hours through 1:30 PM. As well as an afternoon block of 2:30-4pm Every day except Tuesdays! I have a small yard, but that doesn’t stop my own doggy from enjoying himself in the sun! I also have a 50ft leash, a small crate, and lots of toys!

“Sabrina was great at watching my cat, Ollie! She gave detailed updates and sent the best pictures! I felt bad about leaving him for the holidays, but I was glad to have her popping in and keeping him company!”

Christina M.

“Bruna did extremely well with my dog and was able to accept the booking even on such short notice! Bruna asked all the important questions before the booking which made me very comfortable with having her watch my dog! She did a great job and I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I have a 6 year old Goldendoodle of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I love to go on long walks and i’m always ready to give treats or a pup cup!! I’m an RN, which gives me great flexibility in my schedule and plenty of time to care for pets on my days off. I’m very active and love getting outside for long walks and adventures. My goal is to make sure your pet gets lots of exercise, attention, love, and a few treats while you’re away! I always try to make pets feel as comfortable as possible while their owners are away. In my client’s home, I like to stick to their normal routine with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed. I also like to keep owners updated with photos so they can feel at ease knowing their pet is well cared for.

“Heather was great with my dog and followed additional instructions while he was going through neck pain! He was always happy and well taken care of when I got home.”

About: I have grown up with pets all my life which allows me to have lots of experience with multiple kinds of animals. I raised my current dog from a puppy and have always made sure him and my other dog are happy and healthy. I have a decent amount of free time as I am a contracted massage therapist which allows me to be able to fit pet care into my schedule! I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for my dogs to run and play. They each have their own beds and plenty of toys to be entertained by.

“Amy was so caring with our anxious pets, allowing them to warm up to her at their pace. Knowing she was looking after them while we were gone, we had no worries about their welfare and could enjoy our time away. Would definitely recommend her and hope to book her again the next time we can get away.”

Nina F.

“Cal was great with our shy older cat, and gained his trust in a really gentle way. By the end of their week together, they were pals. I’d recommend Cal very highly!”

“Sarah is awesome! She spoiled our dogs and clearly loved them up. This is our second time working with her and will make another appointment. The dogs love her, she communicates with me, and is all around a lovely person”

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and believe they are the sweetest creatures! I always treat pets with the utmost care and respect (probably even better than I treat my human friends). I believe I have a natural knack for connecting with pets. I am currently between job so I am available during most of the day! I live a pretty active lifestyle so I can keep up with speedy pups but am also happy to follow a chill lead of the pet. I treat all the animals with the utmost respect because they deserve to feel love and safe. I am great about following instructions to the T and strive to create a comfortable experience for the pet.

About: Dogs have been my whole world since I was four years old, and I've been actively caring for them since I was around ten. Now at 25, with over 15 years of hands-on experience, I know what it means to love a pet like family, not just as a pet, but as a real member of your life. I'm a proud fur-parent to Boogie, a rescue pup I adopted at four months old. He's two now, and watching him grow has only deepened how much I care about the life every dog deserves. It's something I think about a lot: our pets are experiencing everything for the very first time, and that's worth honoring. I also volunteer as a temporary foster with Hope Animal Rescue, which means I'm comfortable meeting animals exactly where they are, whether that's a nervous newcomer or a playful goofball who wants all the attention. I take every walk and drop-in seriously, because I know a mid-day break and a kind, familiar face can make a pet's whole day. My schedule is more flexible than it might look on paper. I work full-time in the office four days a week, typically wrapping up between 3:30 and 4, and I'm always happy to stop by before work, after work, or in between my jobs. I also work part-time some weekday evenings and weekends, but my hours shift week to week, so I'd rather just talk through what works for you and go from there. If you need someone reliable who's willing to figure it out, I'm your person. When you invite me into your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I'd want for my own. I'm tidy, mindful of your space, and will always leave things exactly as I found them. Your pet's routine matters too. I'll follow whatever instructions you leave, from feeding schedules to favorite toys to the walks they're used to. For walks, I keep a close eye on leash behavior and surroundings, and I'll never push a pet past their comfort zone. I know some dogs need a slow warm-up and others are ready to go the second the leash comes out, and I'm happy to meet them wherever they are that day. You can also expect regular updates while I'm with your pet. I'm happy to send a photo, a quick message, whatever gives you peace of mind while you're away. I know handing over a key and trusting someone with your animal is a big deal, and I don't take that lightly.
