“Sophie is so kind and professional Maya loves her walks with Sophie and completely adapted to being with her. I'd have no hesitation recommending Sophie for anyone who needs help taking care of their pups.”

“Heather is fantastic. One of our dogs is reactive and the other one occasionally decides he won’t go in a given direction, and she’s great with both of them.”

“Kate was a lifesaver I was having a busy day and the pup was being crazy and needed a walk. Kate came right over and walked her and she was chill the rest of the morning! Thank you Kate!!!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have experience caring for both big dogs, small dogs, and cats. Back home in Tennessee, I have 2 Yorkies and a Goldendoodle, and I’ve also helped neighbors, friends, and family care for their pets over the years. I’m patient, dependable, and love making pets feel comfortable and cared for. I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to work around your pet’s specific needs and routine. I typically work mornings during the week and am usually home by mid afternoon, but I can adjust my schedule as needed for walks, potty breaks, feedings, playtime, and medication schedules. I make it a priority to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and companionship so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I always do my best to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while in my care. I pay close attention to each pet’s normal routine, energy level, feeding schedule, and any special instructions so they can stay as stress free as possible. I’m experienced with walks, potty breaks, playtime, crating if needed, and giving pets space when they need it. I also make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.

“So thankful Randy was able to walk our pups. I'll be reaching out again if I go out of town. Was communicative and friendly, followed instructions, and was great with the pups.”

About: Hi All, My name is Alessandria but I prefer to be called Alekx and no the K is not a typo. My hair color is subject to change but it's just dyed hair braided into my natural hair. I have been caring for animals professionally since 2006, until 2013 where I took a leap in a different field of work. I use to move all over the country but I am home and hoping to start pet sitting as my main job. I have a guinea pig by the named Tikka Teacake and she is a little siren but she is my 3rd guinea pig. I am a non-smoker and prefer days curled up with fluffy creatures and a good book. In regards to my experience I have worked at pets resorts such as Sunny Acres where I had a few loyal dogs that I dearly miss. I have owned large dog breeds my whole life and grew up with pure breed Rottweilers, German Shepherd mixes, and my current lovely mutt. I have been doing home pet sitting for over a decade. I usually spend most the day when I am at home entertaining my pets or letting them have free run of the backyard with regular check ins. I make sure that their food is good for their stomach, their daily exercise if playing outside with a normal dose of petting and grooming. I recently got off of medical leave so I have started short nightly walks and we work out together to stay happy and healthy. I am a big night owl so I love watching my dogs snore about. A safe home is one your pet recognizes as the pack den. I care for all pets with repetitive training, health care checks, grooming, and dental care as long as they will let me. I love to make a home pet safe by avoiding choking hazards and loose cables. (Mainly because my guinea pig is a little menace). Medications are taken with timers and usually snuck into foods. I like keeping basic training habits are maintained so that the pets do not unlearn anything their humans have taught them.

About: Hello! I am 38, been in Durham since 2013, and I have lived with several friends who had dogs, so I got my start taking care of them when our human housemates were out of town. One of those longtime housemates is a certified dog trainer who had three dogs when we lived together, so I learned a lot from them about dog care and behavior! In my mid 20’s, I was referred to a friend’s parents for overnight dog sitting. I ended up loving it and have been dog sitting for them for 10+years. I’ve also taken care of their three adult children’s pets when they’re on vacation many times, proving that they trust me with their whole family 💜 Three of the dogs I have taken care of have been seniors with medications, special diets and/or needs, such as more frequent potty breaks, or help getting up and down stairs. I enjoy spending special time with those elderly family members. Since then, I have been referred to several other people for overnight stays. I have a few regular clients whose cats and dogs I stay with as well. I grew up a cat person, rescuing and raising kittens from a feral cat colony in our neighborhood. We had six of our own throughout the years who all lived to be between 18-22 years old! I have also taken care of chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs several times. I love to garden and take care of plants, as I have worked on a couple farms for several years and currently live with someone who owns a landscaping/garden business 🌱 I am currently in between jobs while pursuing a new career. Previously, I have managed catering companies for the last 10 years. While I am job hunting, I am very flexible to spend as much time as needed with your pet! When I am staying with a new dog, I make sure to use the owners’ commands, following their instructions to a ‘T’. I believe that dogs can sense when someone isn’t comfortable with them, so I try to establish a trusting relationship where the dog will respect me while also feeling calm with me, during the time when their person isn’t home. I would love to have repeat clients in order to build a longer relationship with them. It always feels so good when I show up to a client’s house and their pet is as excited to see me as I am to see them💖

About: I have always been surrounded by dog, whether it was my own or taking care of others. I believe that dogs deserve as much love as they give us. I am a homebody, but that means that I'll be more available to hang out with your dog for walks or trips to the park. I live in a townhouse apartment, which means that I have experience with walking dogs around non-fenced areas. This also means I will be observant if you do have a fenced area.

About: I am passionate to give every animal the best quality of life possible, whether they’re small or big, loud or quiet, needy or independent. Anyone who knows me knows that if I see a cat or dog, my day is immediately changed for the better. Any pet owner I've met can attest to the amount of care and attention I allow to any and every animal in my possession. What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is that I will pay attention to every detail. I ask questions and stay as organized as humanly possible, so if your fur baby requires certain care, believe that I will be on top of it. I provide the most compassionate heart for all pet owners and their beloved animals, along with the most precise mind to handle all of their unique qualities. I'm currently working evenings, which means I get home around 10pm every night. If your pet’s care schedule allows for mornings, early afternoons, and late nights, let’s talk! With notice as to any concerns within your home, I will navigate it in any such way the client prefers. Your property deserves the same respect as mine, so necessary care will be taken to protect your space -- no mess of mine left behind.

“Yumi came in at the last minute for me and my pup due to having a funeral to attend. She kept communication open and was a pleasure to work it. Thank you again Yumi for making sure bear was taken cared of while I was out!”

About: I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments over the past decade. My experience ranges from the two extra small, now senior terriers in my family home to my two young, giant German Shepherds, who weigh a combined 200 pounds. I understand the importance of patience, adaptability, and understanding each dog's individual needs. I'm an empathetic and attentive caregiver who prioritizes safety, trust, and authentic connections with every dog in my care. I want every dog to feel comfortable, secure, and loved. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, and I make time to provide attentive, dependable care. I'm happy to work with your babies established schedule for meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially those who experience separation anxiety or feel nervous around new people. I'll communicate with you about scheduling and your pet's needs to ensure they receive thoughtful, reliable care. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pets. As the owner of two large German Shepherds, I understand the importance of secure handling, awareness, and respecting each dog's individual temperament. I take time to help animals feel comfortable with me and follow their owners' instructions closely. I respect your home, maintain a clean and calm environment, and never assume two pets have the same needs. I'm happy to follow feeding instructions, medication routines as directed, leash and crate preferences, and any other safety precautions you provide. Your fur babies comfort and well being will always come first.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and animals, even helped my own cat give birth (covid times) and currently have 2 cats of my own. I’ve taken care of larger dogs as well, sweet pit bulls are my favorite! I am accommodating and love meeting new people and animals. I’m available to care for animals on extended weekends and weekdays if needed. I am located in downtown Durham and can access your pets quickly if needed. My schedule is very flexible and I am punctual. I love playing with my 2 cats and parent’s dog as I believe playtime is important for stimulation. When I can’t take them on a walk, I find ways to stimulate them, such as indoor blanket puzzles and toy play! I can accommodate each animal per their needs.

“Sky does a wonderful job walking my pups. They’re always happy to see her and she can cover quite a bit of ground in just the 30minutes! I love when I come home and they’re still a bit tired and aren’t begging to get out of their crates. It certainly brings me peace of mind as I’m at work. She communicates well, documents their potty/water breaks, and sends a few photos further ensuring they’re in good hands.”
