“Jessica was a gem! She was so attentive and responsive to my cats and kept in consistent communication with me while I was away. I highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again!”

“Courtney provided dog sitting and housesitting services for me. She was great with my Sheppard!! She also kept the house in neat order and provided plenty of love to my dog. I will definitely use her again!!”

“Comfort was absolutely amazing with Wynn! I couldn’t have asked for someone better to watch her while I was away. From the very beginning, Comfort was incredibly kind, communicative, and caring, and I could tell that Wynn was in great hands. Comfort kept me updated, sent pictures and videos, and made sure Wynn got plenty of attention, love, and care. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing that she was happy, comfortable, and being treated like family while I was away. Wynn clearly had a wonderful time, and I came home to a very happy pup! I would 100% recommend Comfort to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely loving with their pets. I will absolutely be reaching out to Comfort again the next time I need someone to watch Wynn! ❤️🐾”


“I’m so grateful for the amazing care Garrett provided for my cat, Adele. He was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Adel was clearly very well taken care of and comfortable, and I could tell she received a lot of attention and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”


“Nate took on a longer 2 week house sitting job to take care of our dogs as well as the house- water plants, take out trash, bring in mail. Our house was clean and the dogs were in their crates waiting for us. Nate followed all the instructions that I left as well as communicate daily.”


“As soon as I met Loren I felt completely comfortable leaving our 15 month old pampered Coton de Tulear with her. She sent me great pictures that showed Moppie was relaxed and happy. I would not hesitate to get her to dog sit again!”

“Myeisha was absolutely wonderful. Communicative, timely, and stayed overnight at my house for 4 nights while we were on vacation. I’m truly grateful as she took great care of my dog and my cat and my home too, vacuuming, taking out the trash, and putting the bedding in the wash before she left. Truly wonderful!”

“We cannot say enough amazing things about Kyla! She recently pet sat for our dog, Bernadette, and she was hands-down one of the nicest, most genuine people we have ever met. From the very beginning, it was clear how much she truly cares about animals. She went above and beyond to make sure Bernadette was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. Kyla kept us completely at ease by sending regular updates and the sweetest pictures, which we absolutely looked forward to receiving. Her communication was flawless, her energy was incredibly warm, and she gave us total peace of mind while we were away. If you are looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own family, Kyla is the one. We will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you, Kyla!”

“Kira is an exceptional sitter. She took wonderful care of our home, but the best part was seeing how happy our dog, Raylan, was with her. She connected with him right away, and the beautiful photos and updates she sent were such a thoughtful and appreciated bonus. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. We will definitely be booking Kira for all our future pet sitting!”

“As always, Mattea took such great care of our pets and home and gave frequent updates/pictures. Having someone so wonderful house sitting takes away the stress of leaving our fur babies at home when we are gone on trips.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked for a dog breeder in the past and have watched family and friends pets of various species over the years. I have also worked for a doggy daycare/resort! I am currently a college student, so over the summer I have an extremely open schedule to work! I am available mostly anytime and any day outside of Sundays :) I follow any and all instructions left by you for your fur baby. I bring a happy environment to your pet and know how to read a dog’s body language and make them as comfortable as possible.

“Layla was phenomenal. She is so thoughtful and thorough when it came to taking care of my two dogs. She was kind, curious about their schedule, and incredibly considerate of my home. Thanks Layla!”

“Britney was outstanding!! She was extremely communicative sent tons of pictures to us every day. Our cat usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but he felt comfortable with her right away. She also left our home very clean which was extremely appreciated too. Our home and furr babies were clearly well taken care of!”

About: I have experience caring for multiple dogs in the same household, including managing individual routines, feeding schedules, walks, and medications. I’ve cared for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I’m comfortable handling up to three dogs at a time. I focus on calm, consistent care and clear communication to help dogs feel safe and settled while their humans are away. Hi, I’m Tara — a calm, attentive house sitter with a deep respect for animals, routines, and the homes I care for. I work remotely as a Creative Wellness Guide and Poet, which allows me to be fully present with pets throughout the day while maintaining a steady, flexible schedule. I’m currently based in the Raleigh–Durham area and enjoy caring for pets while exploring familiar neighborhoods or new places at a relaxed pace. I’m naturally observant and patient, and animals tend to respond well to my calm presence. Whether your dog enjoys walks and companionship or your cat prefers quiet consistency, I follow their lead and keep their routines steady. I take pride in maintaining a peaceful home environment, caring for pets thoughtfully, and communicating clearly with pet parents. House and pet sitting allows me to combine my love of animals, nature, and travel with meaningful, responsible care. It’s a privilege to support both pets and their humans so everyone can feel at ease while apart. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay in their familiar environment and routines. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and household guidelines. I’m attentive to safety, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are supervised and comfortable throughout the day. I respect each home as if it were my own and aim to keep the space calm, clean, and well maintained. I communicate clearly with pet parents, provide updates as requested, and reach out promptly if I notice anything out of the ordinary with a pet’s behavior or health.
“Jylesha took great care of my pets and my house. She was quick to respond when a sitter here backed out. After meeting her in person, it was clear she was perfect. She understood our hyper pup and bonded quickly with him.”

“Sophina did an amazing job taking care of our dogs and cats while also house sitting for us. She was incredibly flexible, communicative, and always willing to send photos and updates whenever we asked. We allowed her to have guests, and she was very respectful about keeping us informed and making sure we were comfortable with everything. She kept our home clean and left everything exactly how we had left it, which we really appreciated. She also went above and beyond when it came to caring for our pets. Our dog has a habit of getting into the litter box, and even though cleaning up after situations like that was definitely beyond what we expected from her, she was always willing to help wherever needed and made sure everything stayed clean. Sophina is someone we trust, and we would absolutely have her house sit and care for our pets again, especially for longer vacations. She is reliable, respectful, and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets and their home.”

“Anna goes far above expectation in her senior dog care giving. My 14 year old was suffering extra anxiety and wouldn’t go upstairs to her regular bed. Anna arranged to sleep near my dog by sleeping right next to her and calming her until she fell asleep. She walked, petted and fed according to special instructions. Anna also keeps the home in extra good order and stays in touch with reports. Anna is an exceptional dog care giver for overnights and I look forward to hiring her again soon.”

Helena was absolutely wonderful with our two cats, Mussum and Matilda! Matilda is extremely shy and afraid of new people, so we were a little nervous about leaving them with someone new. But Helena has a natural gift with cats. During her very first visit alone, she was actually able to get Matilda out of her hiding spot, five her some treats, and even play with her! Helena took great care of everything — food, water, litter boxes — and, most importantly, gave both cats lots of attention and playtime. She also sent us pictures during her visits, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home knowing our “kids” had been in very good hands. We highly recommend Helena and will definitely ask her to take care of Mussum and Matilda again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Stefanía Mari took very good care of my 5 months old GSD girl. She was caring and attentive, tried to figure out my dog in the two nights she cared for her. She followed instructions regarding her care and communicated well. This was a last minute booking, and she was able to work around the request and meet me to ensure I felt comfortable with her spending the night at my home. I would definitely use this sitter again.

Would highly recommend Isabel to anyone looking for an experienced and highly contentious person to watch your animals! I was nervous to leave my dog who had escaped more than once and she took extra precautions while we were away to make sure he was safe. She was quick to communicate and share updates and pictures. Truly felt our dogs were in great hands and were very well cared for while we were away. She was also a very considerate house guest!

Beverly was wonderful with our puppy Marbles! She sent us several updates throughout the evening with photos and details. Since Marbles is still a puppy, it was important that she wasn't left alone. Beverly stayed with her the entire time and Marbles seemed so at ease when we returned. I highly recommend her and will be booking again!

Carloine was a wonderful sitter who stayed with our two dogs at our house. It was reassuring to leave the dogs with someone who genuinely cares for the pups she looks after. Communicative, sent a picture every day and the dogs always looked happy and at ease. In addition, Caroline was a perfect house guest and left everything spic-and-span for us on our return. I recommend Caroline unreservedly and will surely call on her again in the future. Thank you Caroline!

Nathan is a wonderful pet sitter! He was flexible and accommodating with our schedule. He was very patient with our skittish cat, and I’m pretty sure our other cat is disappointed we are home and wishes he was still here. 🤣 We will definitely use his services again.

Autumn was a wonderful sitter for our two dogs. She worked wonders keeping both of them happy and well cared for, which is no small feat since one is spunky (likes long walks and playtime) and the other is older (needs very frequent outings, but no long walks). She was great at sending us regular updates and adorable pictures of both girls, she kept the house clean and she even went above and beyond by offering nail trims for both. We would definitely ask Autumn to dog sit again if we need help!

Anna goes far above expectation in her senior dog care giving. My 14 year old was suffering extra anxiety and wouldn’t go upstairs to her regular bed.
