Pet Sitting in Joyland

“Paul has a clear passion for animals and has my dogs best interest at heart. They love him and thoroughly enjoyed his safe walk outside in the summer heat with the water he provided them.”

Shae M.

“Alyson was great! Gave daily updates including photos and provided a nice balance of love/care and respect of boundaries for our cats. Would definitely book again!”

Nicole S.

“Mary Beth was so great with my dogs and I’ll absolutely be asking her to sit again :)”

Ashley C.

“Taylor is a fantastic pet sitter who I couldn’t recommend more! She was great with my two border collies. She really understood their needs and routine and was very responsive with communication and keeping me updated with pictures. I will definitely reach out to her again next time I go out of town. 10/10”

Whitney A.

“Brynn is super reliable and communicative! When I was in a bind without a dog walker she was able to help with barely a days notice. She sent great photos and made sure to keep me informed of the visit. My senior dog got along great with her. Will definitely use Brynn again!”

Alyssa D.

“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.”

Raine N.

“Kate was so wonderful and she is definitely well loved by dogs! Ours is on the bigger side and high energy, and she did a great job with him. She also handled any requests and went above and beyond. Definitely book with her!”

Sky K.

“Chelsea is wonderful. This was my second booking with her and I appreciate that she was available last minute and how well she takes care of my dogs and cats.”

Katrin D.

“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.”

Sarah S.

“Alex took great care of my dog Beethoven! He was happy and healthy when I got home and Alex sent regular updates so I knew how Beethoven was doing the whole time I was out of town. Thanks!”

Mandy P.

“Scarlett did an amazing job with my cat. She took great photos, and I could tell my cat was smitten since they had lap time from the first visit. Definitely will hire Scarlett again going forward.”

John M.

“David was thoughtful, kind and thorough with our dogs. We came back from a long weekend to two happy, well, exercised dogs. Would absolutely recommend him again.”

Sean F.

“Ross is THE BEST!! He took excellent care of Meadow, providing thorough notes on her walks and even pictures (great pictures!), and is a fantastic communicator, so I never had a moment of worry while I was away. Ross is also a very kind and understanding person (he very graciously accommodated a last minute scheduling change for our very first visit) and clearly loves dogs, and your dog will love him!”

Charles L.

“Kim was so great with our three cats! She provided really thorough updates and lots of photos as a part of her visits. Kim went above and beyond on communication and care for the cats!”

Audrey M.

“Bell did a wonderful job caring for my cat! She provided thorough descriptions of each visit and offered to go above and beyond to care for my cat. It’s clear that she really cares about her clients and I’m grateful she could look after my cat while I was away.”

Anna K.

“Rachel was incredibly kind, thorough, and communicative during my last-minute absence due to an unexpected event. She gave my elderly pet three different daily meds and was very patient with both cats and their needs. My very shy cat warmed up to her and even ate in front of her which was amazing!”

Cassiana G.

“Here's the translation in English: **"For the second time, we used Katrin's services, and once again, we were well informed and updated about our pets. Thanks to this, the trip becomes much more relaxed."** Alternatively, a slightly more natural phrasing could be: This is the second time we’ve used Katrin’s services, and once again, we were kept well informed and up to date about our pets. It makes traveling much more stress-free.”

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.

“We really appreciated Britney and her last minute flexibility. We had a family event that couldn't be changed so she gladly worked with our schedule to help us with Buttercup. We truly appreciate her and would most definitely recommend and use her again especially for her kind spirit with our fur baby. ❤️”

“Katelynn was very responsive and made the key exchange super easy! My cat was well cared for and Katelynn provided at least one cute photo each day. Absolutely would book again.”
