House Sitting in Durham

“This was the first time we went away without the sweet little rescue dog that we adopted a year ago. Lucinda was kind and gentle and patient with her, and was able to build trust. We just got home, the dog is in great soirits, and the house looks great! We received daily updates that set our minds at ease. We are so grateful for the outstanding care that Lucinda provided while we were away!”

“Mackenzie is skilled with animals and was able and to build a rapport with my skittish cat quickly. This was a warm up meeting for a longer visit this summer. She has put my mind at ease that he will be well cared for when I am gone.”

“Chloe was absolutely wonderful! We felt super confident leaving our dog and cats in her very capable hands and they all adored their time with her! Chloe not only showered our babes with love and attention, but she took such great care of our our home and went the extra mile and we came home to folded laundry that we'd left in the dryer! Her communication was excellent and she was super thorough and interested in learning about each of our pet's individual quirks, traits and needs. We're so happy we found Chloe and will absolutely be reaching out to her again next time we need a pet sitter!”

“Khahae is great. Sweet, and gentle with our older dog who barks a lot at first. She took the time & let him warm up to her. So great full for her kind approach. House & dog looked great when we returned. We’re definitely going to hire her again!”

“Enya did a great job with my cat Buster. He was doing very well when we got home from vacation. She sent photos and communicated well while we were gone. I would use her again and recommend her to others.”

“Annalei took wonderful care of my fur babies while I was away. There were a few issues in the house (mostly ants, and my having left some bones out) and she handled it and kept me aware of the situation. My animals all have different needs too, and Annalei handled them all like a champ. I came back to happy, healthy animals. Thank you!”

Kira L.

“Sterling did a great job with animals!! They all looked great and were happy and healthy on our return she was also able to coax my cat into saying hi and getting pets and loves while gone which is no easy feat!!. Will have her sit our animals again in a heartbeat!!”

Pam F.

“Jan took great care of my 16 year old mix, Jolee, while I was away. Jo is very shy and can be stubborn, and Jan handled her like a pro! Jo will definitely be calling Jan when I’m away!”

Lisa L.

“Veronica was incredibly attentive to our pups. Our older dog can sometimes be anxious, but had no problems while Veronica was here - I’m guessing because she felt comfortable and taken care of. Veronica left our place cleaner than when we left. We’d be happy to have her back!”

Heather S.

“Bethany was great! I'd never left my two dogs with anyone else but family. She reassured me she would take good care of them. When we got together, my boys went right to her and I could tell they were comfortable with her and she with them. She stayed at the house, which was left spotless and watered my flowers outside! I hope to use her again!!”

Sue H.

“Joe and Raj did a wonderful job with my cats. The cats looked happy and healthy when I got back. They were true to their word on arriving as we scheduled, promptly at the scheduled time-7am on Easter Sunday! They sent many photos every day and tossed in a few videos as well. I think they left my home cleaner than it was when I left. They are cat people and really enjoyed my 2 cats. I'd have them back in a minute. Thanks so much!”

Jen G.

“Our dogs took to Julia as if they knew her already. Julia was very dependable: she responded quickly, and was timely. It was the first time we have ever left our dogs with someone else, but I felt at ease about it. We were really able to relax and enjoy our trip. ”

About: I have taken care of dogs, and pet/house sitting for friends, family, and other people throughout the last 5 years. My family had two dogs while growing up who I adored and loved taking care of. I also worked at a dog daycare for a bit during my freshman and sophomore years of college. I have always enjoyed being around dogs and spending time caring for them. They deserve all the love and attention they can get! I am detail-oriented and pay attention to the little things that matter. I do have a part-time job so I am available Mondays and Wednesdays after 11:00 am, as well as Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays after 4:30 and anytime on the weekends. I have always loved working with and spending time with dogs. Being mindful of their body language, the environment they are in, and many other factors is important in making sure they are well cared for and comfortable. Dogs - just like humans, love their routine and I intend to stick to it. I love taking pictures and providing several updates while taking care of pets. I believe it is important to keep owners informed and up to date on how/what their dog is doing. Especially because I know that when I miss my dog it's always nice to know that they are okay.

“Pilar cared for my two rescues -- a rambunctious pitty mix and a scaredy-dog jack russell/chihuahua mix for a week while I was in Italy. I returned to find two happy pups, and a well-taken-care of house. Thank you so much, Pilar.”

“Laney was a huge help being able to come last minute and doing a nice meet and greet before hand and took great care of our 17 year old anxious chihuahua and sent us lots of pictures and was very attentive to her. I would definitely book with her again.”

Ashton H.

“Kyle is great. He followed through on our scheduling coordination. He sent lots of pictures while he was with our animals. Very kind and considerate. I’ll be using him again and soon too!!”

Brenda J.

“I couldn't say anything badly about Evan. My very trepidatious dog loved him immediately. I got multiple photos everyday, and even videos of them playing. He left our home the exact way it was when he arrived and is so easy going. Book with him!”

Josie P.

“So happy we booked with Scarlett! She went above and beyond with our cats (and plants!). We were nervous leaving our cats for almost 2 weeks, especially because one needs daily medication. Not a problem at all for Scarlett. She was very communicative and sweet! We felt totally comfortable having her in our home and even our shy cat bonded with her. We’re happy to have found our go-to sitter and would recommend her to everyone!”

About: Saying that I am an animal lover is putting it mildly to say the least! I've volunteered at pet shelters across the US and I have been caring for cats and dogs my whole life! Right now my husband and I have 2 fur babies of our own and we also use Rover ourselves so we know exactly how it feels to let someone else care for your pet. You can definitely count on me to pamper your little ones. Working from home, our schedules are very open, so I have more than enough time to help you fill in the gaps. We're happy to help train your dog in basic behaviors and tricks as well! We love opening our homes to pets on holidays too so if you're planning a trip over the next holiday, we've got you covered! Because I work from home with my husband we have plenty of spare time for walks, play time and cuddles with your pup! Regular feedings and lots of exercise are no hassle at all! We offer a smoke free environment. We have a fenced in yard so they can really stretch their legs or just do some sunbathing. Your pet will be given full roam of our 2 bedroom home to play, chill and hangout with our friendly poodle Margo. But if you would prefer them to stay in their own designated bedroom at night just let us know. We also allow pets on furniture for a snuggle/nap but if this is an issue for you we are happy to reinforce your rules/training. Treat our place like your own and we will provide a loving environment to make them feel right at home.
