Top rated Joyland cat sitters

“Paul was absolutely wonderful to have watch Rudy while we were out of town. Paul even taught us that “soothing cat music” on our Alexa device was a thing! Thank you so much for making our first Rover experience so easy, Paul!”


“Brynn did a wonderful job taking care of Percy while we were away. She was extremely easy to get a hold of and communicative with every visit. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to others that need a caring pet sitter”


“Brittney was great, very communicative and professional, and she apparently even passed the Kitty Trust Test with my cat who usually hides from strangers. Absolutely would recommend.”


“This was my first time with Bell. I was gone a week, away from 2 very active 6 mos old kittens who have never been left alone for more than a few hours. Bell was there on time twice a day for an hour, playing with the kittens as well as feeding them and doing cat box duty. She also filled my wild bird feeders and brought them in at night, plus brought in my garbage can and retrieved a package that arrived. She sent photos and sometimes a short message at every visit. Most tellingly, my cats were happy but not overjoyed to see me return—they hadn’t been lonely. I will absolutely call on Bell again. Finding a caretaker like her for your loved pets is gold.”


“Maryam and Faadhil have watched our two cats several times and they always have great communication and take great care of our cats. They made sure they got plenty of playtime and affection and I received lots of photos and a thorough update with each visit. We highly recommend them!!”


“Kristin did a great job with my cat and handled the somewhat complicated instructions for getting into my apartment building perfectly! I appreciated her flexibility in accommodating timing needs as well.”


“Kelsey took great care of my cat while I was away! She gave updates everyday and sent pictures and videos. She was very sweet with him and I could tell he got lots of love during her drop ins”


About: Hello! I am an animal lover in Durham, NC. I have a flexible schedule and feel fulfilled helping others and being around animals so this seemed like a great fit for me! I have had dogs and cats my entire life, each with their own personalities and needs. Whether your pet is super high energy and needs someone to play with, or anxious and needs a patient and calming energy, I promise I will take the time to figure out what I can do to make them (and you) comfortable. I currently have a sweet cat named Mystic who is fairly high needs, so I am no stranger to giving animals medication or being able to assess if something is wrong. Mostly, I know you are opening up your home and pets to me so I want to do everything I can to make you feel that your animal and house are in good hands :) I am just enjoying my summer holiday so my schedule is pretty flexible. I also spend my time writing and that can be done at almost any time of the day or from someone else's house if you would want me to stay the day with your pet. I can follow whatever instructions you need for the dog to feel safe in your home with a stranger. I know it might be weird having a foreign person in your space so I will do all I can to make your dog comfortable and follow whatever regimen you have.

“Kim took great care of my 2 cats during a 2 week vacation. She gave me super thorough and exciting updates of how the cats were doing and included lots of photos! Even litter box and water updates! Excellent amazing service and gave me a ton of peace of mind while I was out of the country! Will definitely be using again!”


“Rachel was fantastic and very caring! One of my cats had some health issues come up right before our trip and needed daily meds and additional feedings, and Rachel was very flexible and accommodating of several last minute changes, and she was able to get my picky boy to take his meds. Both cats are skittish of strangers but seemed to quickly warm up to her and be very comfortable around her. She sent detailed updates and pictures which made me feel at ease.”


“Scarlett has been amazing with our three cats! She's very communicative and always goes above and beyond. I feel comfortable leaving my cats with her because I know they'll be well taken care of. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter!”


“Katrin made the whole process from the initial meeting, through the daily check-ins a great experience for a first time user of Rover. She was on time everyday with both the check-in and communications back to me, which I appreciated. Will definitely look to see if she is available for my next trip out of town.”


“Alex was very responsive and did a great job taking care of my three cats. He was always on time and shared lots of photos of the kitties while we were gone. Would happily book again! 😻🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈”


“Very communicative and great with my kitties! Ensures the litter is clean and the kitties were fed and attended to. She even put my rug in the washer since one of the kitties threw up on it! Really great all around”
