Amy took care of my two dogs whilst I was on vacation for a week. She promptly arrived every day at 7 am and 7 pm, fed the dogs, and took them for a walk. They were comfortable in their home and well cared for by Amy in my absence.

Taylor is a fantastic pet sitter who I couldn’t recommend more! She was great with my two border collies. She really understood their needs and routine and was very responsive with communication and keeping me updated with pictures. I will definitely reach out to her again next time I go out of town. 10/10

Kristin did a great job with my cat and handled the somewhat complicated instructions for getting into my apartment building perfectly! I appreciated her flexibility in accommodating timing needs as well.

Absolutely phenomenal. She answered in a pinch when I had to book last minute trips for work and was super helpful. Took plenty of photos and kept me updated, while also being willing to adjust the schedule when I needed it! 100% would use again because of her care for my pup, but her professionalism.

Zoey was amazing! One of my cats was unexpectedly injured requiring an Urgent Care visit while we were away and she took care of it despite the extra time and effort. She was calm, resourceful and communicative. She truely went above and beyond taking care of him and would trust her with anyones (pet) loved ones.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was in middle school. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I also currently have a chihuahua, dachshund, and 2 cats in my family home (in Florida) that I took care of the majority of the time before moving to Durham for college! I spend a lot of time at home and have a lot of flexibility in terms of being able to play and spend time with your pet! When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I make sure to make the pet as comfortable as possible — ensuring they have the space and attention they need. I enjoy keeping pets occupied whether that be playing with them, petting them, or letting them accompany me while I do work or chores.

This is my third time booking with Rachel and I always feel at ease knowing she is taking care of my two cats! She is very thorough and sends detailed notes and lots of pics! Our cats are sometimes nervous around other people but they always quickly warm up to her and I always come home to very happy boys!

Mylee has done a great job caring for my two golden retrievers and I will definitely use her again. She went above and beyond to clean up a big mess that my foster dog made, who clearly wasn't ready to be left out of her crate.

Bell is outstanding! Vacations are nothing new to our cats, but this was only our 2nd time going on a big trip since we got our nervous rescue dog. How happy & relaxed our dog was when we got home, in contrast to our last vacation, almost made me cry. Bell is meticulous, caring, sweet, prompt, and incredible with communication. I could tell they would be in good hands the second I met her. I also know our pets would be over the moon to see her again (if she’ll have us next time). *HIGHLY* recommend her!

My dog loves her regular walks but is shy around strangers. I needed help while out of town and Laura was 110% reliable with walks and feeding, and most importantly, was really patient and won her over! Lots of wags for Laura!
