Dog Sitting in Durham

About: I offer high-energy walks at any pace your dog needs! If they like a fast paced walk, I’m there. If they like to take their time and sniff, I’m there. I love to get pictures of your pup on walks, not only to show their owner how much they’re enjoying their walk, but to look back on and remember when we first started our walks :) I have been taking care of dogs for the past 6 years and have a true passion for helping dogs. In 2023, I rescued an 8 month old puppy with straight leg syndrome that couldn’t walk without his wheel chair. He’s now a year and 8 months old and able to stand, walk, run, climb 4 stairs, and swim!! He proved he doesn’t need that wheelchair with the help of weekly PT appointments and lots of at home exercises! I am a nanny Monday-Thursdays until 2:00pm. I am available those days after 2:30pm for drop-in visits or dog walking! I am available 24/7 Friday-Sunday for your fur babies! I have two fur babies who are extremely friendly and always love visitors! I have a big yard that is partially fenced in, but will keep dogs on leashes if needed! I have long leashes to give them that “off-leash” feel but still being secure. I also would love to bring your dog on adventures with my dogs (beach trips, trail walks, swimming, etc). :)

“Melissa was so attentive to my cats and their many different beds. She really took the time to get to know them and let their personalities shine through. Excellent sitter!”

“Devan was amazing! She was super easy to communicate with and she took adorable photos of the cats.”

About: Hey there! I’m Sara a full time college student with a deep love for pets looking for a part time pet sitting or dog walking experience! I have grown up with a cat and two dogs so I have years of pet sitting experience. Balancing school and pet care has taught me responsibility and flexibility. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles, I ensure your pets get the attention and care they deserve while you’re away. Here to provide a safe and fun environment for your animals so you don’t have to stress while you’re away! I don’t take classes currently so I’m available whenever you need! I’m an early morning person so don’t mind coming early to pop in for a walk or check in:) I live in an apartment so won’t be able to keep your pets in my home, but at your home I’m happy to accommodate to however you would like me to care for your animal!

“Yujie has been doing regular weekly drop-in visits for our two dogs, and he’s been amazing. He’s very attentive, communicative, and responds quickly. He’s truly gone above and beyond to care for my dogs while I’m working. My dogs, Arnold and Rico, absolutely love Yujie, and he always sends us great pictures during his visits. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they have a caring, reliable person spending time with them during the day—playing with them and giving them potty breaks. I would highly recommend Yujie for anyone looking for pet care!”

About: Growing up, I always loved animals and would ask to take care of and walk my neighbors’ or friends’ dogs. My family got 2 dogs while I was in high school and I was able to take care of them and train them. I’m currently in college pursuing a degree in Animal Science and on the road to becoming a vet, so I have lots of animal experience! I’m currently a college student and am free on weekends. Over the summer, I will be free all day everyday until my internship starts and am looking to help out whenever possible! My neighborhood is very dog and cat friendly. I don’t have a fenced in yard but easily use leashes for my own dogs. I only have two dogs that get along with other dogs pretty well but could be put in their crate if needed. However, it would be easier to stay at the client’s home if overnight care is needed.

About: I have been dog sitting for others for 4 years now and have had cats and dogs most of my life! I am an avid pet lover and love helping out pet parents care for their fur babies. I have trained basic skills, potty trained and crate trained dogs. I am no longer offering boarding or house sitting as I have a new needy roommate, (pictured on my profile) Daisy 🌼 I am a recent graduate student and work part time in the mental health field. My schedule is fairly flexible and I am able to be home often if needed for a pet. I am a good fit for dogs/cats that are able to manage 6 hours alone for days I have to work! I offer a quiet and patient presence for your pets! I will accommodate your pets needs whether that’s lots of snuggles or just a person to check in. Every pet has their own personality and I completely understand any accommodations or activities your pet needs.

“Patrick is meticulous. He went above and beyond and loved taking care of my cat Snickers! Her coat was so clean too as he brushed her. He gave her her insulin shots and left my place clean as a whistle! He certainly loves pet sitting! I highly recommend him.”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and taking care of them has always felt natural to me. Over the years I’ve had the joy of caring for many different pets/animals. This ranges from dogs to cats to smaller animals like rabbits and hamsters, horses, and even a few cows. Each one had their own little personality, and I took the time to get to know what made them feel safe and happy. Whether I’m feeding them, going for walks, or just sitting with them so they don’t feel alone, I really enjoy being someone animals can trust. Taking care of them never feels like a chore but it’s something I genuinely love. Even as a college student, I make sure pet care fits comfortably into my schedule. I plan my classes and study time so I always have enough space in my day for walks, feeding, playtime, and anything else a pet might need. Having a routine actually helps keep me organized and caring for animals gives me a nice break from schoolwork and something positive to look forward to. I’m very mindful about time management, so I make sure each pet gets consistent attention and doesn’t feel rushed or overlooked. You and your animal can trust me because I truly care about creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet I look after. I’ve been around animals my whole life, so I understand how important it is to be patient, gentle, and consistent. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and comfort levels so they never feel overwhelmed or ignored. I’m responsible, reliable, and always put their well-being first. Whether that means sticking closely to your instructions, keeping a close eye on their safety, or simply giving them reassurance when they’re nervous. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is being cared for with the same love and attention I’d give my own.

“This sitter checked in on days requested, gave care as requested, interacted with pets and sent pictures. I am very pleased and would use this sitter again.”

“Steph took care of my rabbit for a long trip away and during the holidays and she went above and beyond. Consistently checked in with plenty of photos and took the extra time and care to keep his space clean and spend some time with him. She even made a special second trip on his birthday that I was unfortunately missing!! I would absolutely recommend her.”

Danielle S.

“Beth is such a warm and friendly person and our pups just love her. She is very prompt and communicative as well. We will certainly book her services again.”

About: I grew up with lots of cats and dogs as a kid and became experienced with taking care of them at a young age. I love playing with and taking care of pets and I'm good at reading their body language and trying to understand what an animal wants and needs. I work freelance remotely so my schedule is flexible and I have plenty of time to check on and care for your pets. I have a reliable car and have no problem coming to your home to care for your pet. I have experience with both cats and dogs and I know how to read their body language and respond to whatever it is that they need.

“Michela is an absolutely amazing with my 2 cats and I couldn’t recommend her enough. She took her time with one in particular who is really shy & timid. By the end of the visit, Michela had won her over. She definitely has my fur babies best interest at heart while using her instincts. My cats fell in love with her by the end.”

“Adelle was great with my large dogs! The drop-in visits were helpful and she was always on time to take them out.”

About: Animal lover with a passion for caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Reliable, patient, and attentive, with a focus on keeping pets safe, active, and happy on every walk. I'm currently not working, so I have plenty of time to cuddle and take care of your pets! My availability is wide open! Limited weekend hours. My home isn't pet friendly as my cats don't like friends. So any pet watching would have to be at your house or outside or another location.

“Tati was amazing as she helped us out in a pinch using the drop in services for our dog. She was responsive, prompt with her visits, and sent plenty of photos, despite knowing I was going to be out of cell service for this visit. 10/10 would recommend her and rebook her”

About: Taking care of animals is my joy. I have 3 healthy cats and an 8 week old puppy at home who I take care of, and I have been dog and cat sitting since I was around 12. When I was younger I put up flyers around town for my little pet care business, and people loved how I took care of their animals. I am currently working part time and in online school, so my schedule is very flexible and I have lots of time to take care of animals! My cats that I have had for years are healthy and happy and they are my best friends. I have never missed feeding or playing or cuddling, and I will treat my clients animals like they are my own. In my clients home I like to make sure the animal is properly taken care of and that everything is under control, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, nail clipping, whatever it is!

About: I have owned dogs all my life and have grown very comfortable around them. Growing up I even worked at a barn down the street for a couple years! I am very enthusiastic about animals and giving them the care and love they deserve I am a college student at UNH looking to fill time between/after classes! I will be available during most weekdays and the weekend. Can’t wait to meet your pets! I will have an open line of communication with you while caring for your animals. I know it can take a lot of trust to leave them in the hands of someone else!
