House Sitting In Durham

“Amazing experience for this new dog owner! Petra was extremely quick to reply and kept me up to date on how my puppy was doing my first night out after getting her. My dog was comfortable with her right away and Petra did an amazing job taking care of her.”

“Elisha did a wonderful job watching my shy pup and two kitties while we were gone for an evening. Although my dog is rather nervous around strangers, my pup ended up sleeping with Elisha during a storm. It gave me great comfort to know my animals were being looked after during the storm and while we were away. Looking forward to having her watch my pets again next week!! Thanks for everything, Elisha!”

About: I just lost my 19 year old dog in 2025. Senior dog care was my day to day for quite a few years so I’m well versed in that but can handle all shapes, sizes and scenarios. I provide a caring and attentive positive environment with indoor/outdoor access. We are also right next to Silver Lake Dog Park if your dog is allowed to go :). I work from home most of the time and scheduling is flexible. I am able to provide a routine that fits the dog’s day to day. Dogs won’t be left for more than 3 hours at a time but when I have a furry visitor, I try to not be gone unless absolutely necessary. We have a yard that’s fenced in with easy access to a nearby dog park. I take them on walks and to the dog park often and am able to offer supervised yard time.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was five years old and continued to get more dogs. I have dog sat for multiple friends and family rating from dogs and cats. As far as training animals, I did grow up with having to train them so I do have some experience. I am currently working part time and go to community college but will be able to manage and work out a schedule that will be accommodating. I have 3 dogs that have invisible fences outside so they can roam free without getting lost, going to the road, running off. I have a big yard surrounding my house so they are used to running around freely. When it gets too cold they come in to the house or garage with my father. I am used to walking dogs as they do get walked on occasion at home or if we have them out of the house. I do not off offer services that welcome pets into my house but I am accommodating as necessary and will offer services at your residency.

About: Hi! My name is Andrea. I have lived in the Hudson Valley for almost 4 years now, and have been working in the area off and on since 2014. I live with my partner, Mike, and precious pup Kona. I have always lived with dogs. And recently, have been thinking about getting a cat! I am an Occupational Therapist in a school district full time and love to farm and bicycle during my off time. I’ve done house sitting and dog sitting previously and enjoyed the work. I have my own vehicle and am used to commuting around the Hudson Valley for work and for fun. I wanted to get back into dog sitting and pet sitting to assist in getting a new car and to get to spend time with pets! I have always been obsessed with dogs! I show that through meeting as many as I can when out in the community :). I am active person, so long walks and playing is something I can provide. I am open to any requests you might have and am great at keeping in touch with pet parents. I can always be available through text, call, or email. I’m so excited to meet you and your lovely pets!! I have a full time job, so weekends are my only availability. However, I am open to discuss any special circumstances! I might potentially be more available on a long weekend, when I am off from my school based job. I would want to care for your pets as you would or how you would want. I am great with a schedule and specific requests.

“Caitlyn was amazing with our two cats and dog! She was super communicative on sending updates and pictures of how the pets were doing and was so easy to work with! We had her drop-in twice a day and she was really thorough with feeding, taking care of the litter box, and snuggling with them all during each visit. Our dog needs daily medication and one cat needed ointment on her paws and she expertly handled all their needs. Our cat’s paws are better already because of Caitlyn’s care and attention. We absolutely will hire Caitlyn again and would highly recommend her to the Rover community!”

“Arsen and Sophia did a great job. They communicated well, sent funny pics and we returned to a calm dog who clearly liked them and was sad to see them leave. House was clean. Would hire them again anytime.”

“We booked our second house sitting experience with Brian, and he was fantastic again! He even took our senior puppy to her vet appointment, as we couldn't make it home in time. Thank you Brian for taking such great care of our girl.”

Kara A.

“Lianne was great! She was polite & friendly - Handled all of my unorganized rambling and probably unnecessarily detailed instructions during our meet & greet without issue and asked follow up questions and clarifications that gave me confidence on this last minute booking. I can tell my dogs were well cared for and everything was in impeccable order when I came home. I will definitely book her again when the need arises!”

About: My name is Kylie and I’ve always had such a strong passion for animals. I’m currently in school to be a licensed veterinary technician. While I pursue this, I also work full time in an animal emergency clinic. I have had 2+ years of animal emergency experience, including large dogs and cats, and even reptiles like snakes! I am comfortable pilling animals and have direct access to emergency care 24/7 in case your fur babies need it❤️. I currently own 2 cats of my own and a ball python. I’ve owned large dogs my whole life including a Cane Corso & Giant Schnauzer! I currently work full time in the animal emergency clinic. My schedule is Tuesday 11a-11p - Friday 7a-7p - Saturday 1p-1a and I do pick up shifts here and there. With this being said, I can come by before and/or after my shifts. I am currently not accepting boarding as my current living situation is not feasible for more animals than I currently own. I can care for pets in your home!

“Amy was able to take care of my puppy for a night even though I reach out last minute, came for a meet and greet and. Took good care of my energetic puppw!”

Carolina S.

“Shannon was amazing with our dogs! It felt so good knowing they were out and not in their kennels too much while we were away! She sent pictures with updates, they all loved her! Definitely recommend!”

Katie V.

“We had such a wonderful experience with Katherine caring for our two cats. From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and reliable. She kept us updated consistently with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she’s both experienced and genuinely caring - our cats felt comfortable with her right away. She was attentive to their routines and gave them lots of playtime and love. We came home to two very happy, relaxed cats and a house that was just as we left it. We felt confident the entire time that they were in safe, capable hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!”

“Shelby is wonderful with Charlie! She is also super responsive and keeps us updated throughout the day. Already booked our next sit with her! :)”

Adithi N.

“We booked Taylor at the last minute when another dog sitter had an emergency—and she is a rock star! She understands animals and works hard to make sure she is accommodating their needs. So glad we found her!!”

Katherine T.

“Rochelle is a wonderful sitter and I'm so grateful to have found her to watch my dog Gogo. I've hired Rochelle for both short and long-term stays and she is my most entrusted sitter. Dedicated, responsible, caring, and experienced.”

Nicole N.

“Rachel is truly a gem! I can't praise her enough for the exceptional care she gave my big German Shepherd, Lenny. She was incredibly communicative and understanding, making the entire experience seamless. When I returned home, my house was spotless, and my dog was happy and well cared for. Rachel is simply fantastic—if I could give her a 10-star rating, I would in a heartbeat.”

Alison K.

“Elizabeth took such good care of Niobe! Everytime I wondered about what was happening at home, I received a message and photo from Elizabeth. I will book with her again.”

Annette M.

“Sofia was very communicative throughout the day and kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind. Most importantly, she got along really well with our dog, and he seemed very comfortable and happy with her. We would definitely recommend her!”
