Pet Sitting in Durham

“Joy is our new favorite pet sitter! She is excellent! Her communication is clear and thorough, she asks great questions to get to know what your pets need, and shares lots of photos. We had a wonderful meet and greet which let us travel knowing that everything would be taken care of. Even hiccups are deftly handled. Our litter box broke and Joy came up with a solution and let us know right away! She was also super thoughtful to take care of some packages that arrived while we were gone. The house was clean and our cats were calm and settled when we got back home. We will absolutely ask Joy to come back!”

About: I have walked and pet sat for 5+ years, and for the past two years, I have fostered rescue dogs as well. I love to hang out with your dog, whether that includes walks, playing, or just hanging out on the couch. I just finished a masters degree and am currently searching for a full time job, so I have a very flexible schedule, with availability on both weekdays and weekends. I am very careful to ensure dogs are safe when I take them for walks or pet sit. I always look for potential dangers (got lots of experience avoiding chicken bones on the street in NYC!) and keeping your dog safe is my top priority.

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.

“Kim was absolutely amazing with our two senior cats! She followed their feeding routine perfectly, sent the cutest daily pics and updates, and kept us so informed and at ease the whole time. One of our cats warmed up to her right away, and the other one is a certified weirdo with strangers who actually chose to be around her instead of hiding under the bed (for our weirdo, that's basically a five star review). We will definitely be booking Kim again and highly recommend her to anyone who wants their furry babies in wonderful hands.”

About: I have both personal and professional history when it comes to taking care of animals. I worked at an acclaimed veterinary clinic, where I experienced a spectrum of situations, from routine nail clippings to harrowing emergencies. I’ve also been a dog owner for many years, and care deeply for the well being of animals. I have a soft spot when it comes to little dogs; they have their own quirks and personalities that need special attention. The scrunglier, the better I say! I work from home. This allows me the flexibility to adapt to your pups routine and needs. Our evenings are fairly quiet as well, it being just my husband and me. I’m very mindful of safety; I’ve seen enough ‘accidents’ after working at a veterinary hospital that’ll last me a lifetime. I do everything to ensure my pets are safe, and your dog would be no different. Meals are served separately, and strictly observed to avoid aggression, dogs are securely leashed while on walks, and the environment is free of debris or trash for anyone to munch on.

“So responsive, flexible, and willing to take the extra step! My cat last minute needed medication for a UTI and Claire was happy to give her the additional medication she needed with no problems! My cat loved playing with her and she sent great photos”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, helping neighbors, friends, and family with everything from daily walks to overnight stays. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including energetic puppies and gentle seniors. I love exercising with dogs, going on walks, hikes, and spending time outdoors playing with them. As a former D1 athlete, staying active is a big part of my life, so I make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention, and engagement. I also pay close attention to detail, making sure feeding routines, behavior, and overall care are handled exactly how you prefer. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for dogs. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I’m currently preparing for physical therapy school, so I spend time shadowing and working part-time, but I have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, exercise, and consistent care throughout the day.I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and daycare during weekdays after/before certain times, and I have open availability on weekends for boarding or extended stays. I make sure every dog gets the time, activity, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I care for dogs in their own homes, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, exercise, and any special care your dog needs. I’m very attentive to detail and make sure your home stays secure while you’re away. I monitor your dog’s behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being to ensure they’re happy and healthy. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease knowing your dog is in good hands.

“Alexis was amazing! She is very trustworthy and followed directions carefully to ensure our pets were taken care and comfortable. Alexis really took the time to bond well with our pets. We will definitely book her again and you should to! She gave us a peace of mind and we were able to enjoy or trip without any worries.”

“Bell did an amazing job with my cats. I knew from our meet and greet that she would be a wonderful, responsible sitter. My cat was very comfortable with her. She even took care to put out my trash so that my apartment didn’t stink of cat litter. Will definitely use her services again!”

Katrina G.

“David was thoughtful, kind and thorough with our dogs. We came back from a long weekend to two happy, well, exercised dogs. Would absolutely recommend him again.”

“Rachel is the best!! We've booked her multiple times & would 10/10 recommend. she is super communicative and good with our ~opinionated~ cat lol.”

Katherine Q.

“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.”

Sarah S.

“This was Paul’s 1st visit with our 7 toy dogs who have separation anxiety whenever we go out of town. They were worse this time but Paul worked gently with each dog every day. Not an easy task with 7. By the end of the visits they all had settled down & had become buddies. They were the happiest ever when we came home. We highly recommend Paul!! He has a special way with animals.”

Frances Q.

“Zichen was great as always—very responsible, super communicative, and easy to work with. I always feel confident leaving my dog with her because she keeps me updated and takes such good care of everything. Highly recommend.”

Yuji K.

“Sofia was extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures. It was clear that all of my animals loved her, including two of my more skittish and shy pets. I can’t recommend her enough!”

Ashlee H.

“Blake was wonderful about sending photos of my cat. I think my cat will miss her more than she missed me! Lol. It was nice to enjoy my vacation knowing Annabelle was safe and well cared for.”

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.
