House Sitting Grissom

“Elizabeth has stayed the weekend at our house 3 or 4 times to watch our pup Carter and we highly recommend her to anyone! She is very kind, professional, and loving to our dog. It gives us peace of mind knowing Carter is safe and comfortable at our house with Elizabeth. She regularly keeps us updated on how Carter is doing and sends pics. We are grateful that she takes such good care of Carter. Carter is now 11 and requires supplements, special food, and specific exercise instructions and Elizabeth has been terrific at helping us with all of this. We will continue to have her watch Carter when she is available!”

About: I've had dogs both large and small since I was a kid. I'm very experienced in dog behavior and handling both puppies and senior dogs. I have 2 small Chihuahua mixes, one is a senior and the other is around 7 years old. I work from home full time so will have plenty of time to play and take of your fur babies. I enjoy watching them at play and am able to work around their schedules. I have a large fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby(s) company. I can easily crate your dog if needed although I do not crate my own. I own a ranch home so very few steps to navigate for senior dogs.

“Nicole took exceptional care of Juju! We were nervous since this was our first time leaving our dog with anyone other than direct family, but Nicole was great. She came and met Juju months before and gave us peace of mind. She sent daily pictures and updates. We are so thankful to have found a great dog sitter like Nicole! 10/10 recommend!”

About: With 15 wonderful years as a pet owner, I understand how important it is to know your furry family member is in caring, responsible hands. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits. I’m committed to providing personalized care, keeping your pet comfortable and happy, and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Every pet deserves patience, attention, and plenty of love— and that’s what I aim to provide! I am available with a flexible schedule and can provide attentive care, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I am happy to follow specific instructions from pet owners. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so pets and their owners can feel comfortable and confident while they are apart. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I would follow the pet’s normal routine and the owner’s specific instructions. I would provide fresh food and water, give medications if requested and properly instructed, take dogs for walks or provide indoor exercise, and spend quality time with the pet so they feel comfortable and cared for. I would also clean up after the pet, maintain a safe and tidy environment, and give the owner regular updates so they know how their pet is doing. I would treat the client’s home with the same respect and care that I would want for my own home.

“Marcus was great, he is just a nice person, respectful and polite. He was great with Bear and I believe Bear felt very comfortable with him. He brought in my flag since it was very windy and folded it beautifully into a respectful triangle. He did it before I even thought to ask. I think he's the best!”

“Hanna was responsive, keeping in touch with me which was much appreciated. She took good care of my elderly dog and even let him sleep with her. The house was clean when we returned. All went well!”

Jenny D.

“Suzanne was so great! She sent so many updates throughout the 5 days I was gone! She left the place cleaner than she found it! Was super communicative!! I would book her again in a heartbeat.”

Lauren B.

“Still the BEST!! Oksana and her sweet husband are like having their favorite aunt and uncle come to visit! I don’t want to continue to say too many good things about them or they won’t be available for my babies!! 🩷 Seriously, they are the first sitters I have had that I don’t worry about my furry children at least a little bit. Now I just miss them and can’t wait to see them! They still wonder where their favorite sitters are, but they know they will see them again!!”

About: Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience with caring for both cats and dogs, including senior dogs who require medication, dogs with disabilities, pets with behavioral challenges, and high-energy animals. I understand how each pet has unique qualities and needs, and I am patient, attentive, and committed to providing individualized care. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, following feeding routines, administering medication, or simply providing company, I want every pet to feel happy and secure in my care. I understand the importance of following owner’s instructions and maintaining routine. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing that your pets are in caring, reliable, and responsible hands! I am currently a senior in high school, with school days running from 9am to 12pm. Outside of school, I enjoy staying active outside or in the gym. My shorter school days allow me to maintain a flexible schedule, giving me plenty of opportunities to care for your furry family members and provide them with the love, attention, and care that they deserve! I have experience caring for dogs and cats with unique individual needs, including medication routines, disabilities, and behavioral challenges. I take pride in following instructions carefully, maintaining consistent routines, and respecting each households rules and environment. Whether that means crating dogs when needed, following specific feeding schedules, or accommodating individual behavioral needs, I strive to create a safe, comfortable environment for every pet.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! I grew up surrounded by pets and have always considered them part of the family. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly can’t imagine life without them! I’m currently a proud dog mom to Luna, my sweet, energetic, and incredibly smart 5-year-old pup. She’s my little sidekick and goes just about everywhere with me! Through years of caring for my own pets, I’ve gained experience with different personalities, behaviors, training, routines, and individual needs. I know every pet is different! Some love adventures, long walks, and endless playtime, while others prefer cuddling on the couch and relaxing. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. My home also has a spacious fenced backyard with three-rail fencing reinforced with hog wire, helping keep even smaller pups safely contained. It’s a great space for supervised outdoor playtime, exploring, and burning off some energy! I offer both boarding in my home and house sitting in yours. Luna accompanies me for house sitting, so I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone gets along! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets because I feel the exact same way about mine. My goal is to treat your pets like they’re part of my own family and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work full-time with a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to accommodate pet sitting around my work commitments. I’m primarily available every other weekend for boarding and house sitting, but I’m also happy to accommodate weekday stays with advance notice so I can plan my schedule accordingly. Whether your pet loves outdoor playtime, walks, or cuddling on the couch, I’ll make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’m happy to work around their usual feeding, exercise, and bedtime routines to help them feel comfortable and right at home. Feel free to reach out with your dates! I’m always happy to discuss availability and see what we can work out. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! My home has a spacious fenced backyard with three-rail fencing reinforced with hog wire to help keep dogs safely contained. There’s plenty of room for supervised playtime, exploring, and burning off energy! I share my home with Luna, my friendly, playful 23-pound pup who loves making new friends! I always recommend a meet-and-greet before boarding to make sure everyone is comfortable together. For house sitting, Luna will accompany me, so it’s important that your pets are comfortable with another dog. I’ll respect your home, follow your pet’s normal routines, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving hands!

About: I grew up on a farm with all sorts of animals. I have had indoor pets for over 30 years and currently my family and I have two cats. I can even take care of smaller pets like hamsters, guinea pigs and lizards. However, spiders need not apply! 🙂 I currently work until 2: 30 p.m. But I have flexibility to go check on pets, I can also do evening runs and or house sitting as needed! my preference would be to check on your pets in your home, but can provide care in my home. I have cats who have been around dogs a bit

“Y’all, I’ve had a few different dog sitters over the last few years, and Saarah is the ABSOLUTE BEST. She is super communicative, spent extra time with my dog, and clearly enjoyed taking care of him. I have a large (90 lbs) husky who can be a bit of a handful because he is so energetic, and Saarah made sure he got all of the exercise he needed (and probably more!). I seriously cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“Lauren was great to work with! She was quick to respond, sent plenty of photos, and took good care of our pups. We would definitely use her again!”

Alex S.

“The best sitter we have had! Shanyla stayed with our babies every waking and sleeping hour! We received many pictures and videos along with updates!”

About: I've been caring for dogs and other pets for the past 20 years and am a trusted housesitter in Durham, Chapel Hill, and beyond! I've provided extended care and regular housesitting for up to a month at a time in my home or theirs. In my own home, I have a fenced yard and no other pets, providing a great setup for boarding.

I'm reliable, organized, and ready to work with you to provide the safest and most enjoyable experience for your pet. I have a flexible work schedule and love hanging with pets during the work day, whether staying in your home with your pet, boarding them in my home with a fenced yard, or providing drop-in care and walks.

I'm a trusted housesitter for several local families, providing extended care in their homes for up to a month at a time over the past few years. In my own home, I have a fenced yard and no other pets. I do have a variety of indoor plants, so dogs that chew on plants may not be a good fit safety-wise.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and puppies for over 5 years and grew up helping take care of puppies from a young age. Being around animals my whole life has taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away.

I make it a priority to keep pets on their normal routine and provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments and always make sure pets are supervised and secure. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs, and I can separate pets or use a crate if needed. I follow any instructions provided by owners carefully and will make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for during their stay.
