House Sitting Mount Tirzah

“Sierra is wonderful. She’s calm and she handles dogs quite well. We hired Sierra for housesitting on Memorial Day weekend and she took care of our 80 pound labrador pitbull mix and our four month old Connie Corso puppy who is already over 50lbs and super energetic. She did a great job with both of them. We got home after 4 days and the house was clean, the dogs were happy, and the yard was clean as well. We enjoyed having her stay at our house and felt that our dogs were safe and well taken care of. We will definitely engage Sierra’s services again. You can trust that your fur babies will be happy with Sierra!! 😊”

“Alysha is awesome with Zorro and takes great care of him. She is always willing to help us out, including for days where we ask her to hang with Zorro for almost the whole day. We so appreciate her!”

“Mardi was fantastic! She was communicative and quick to respond. She sent photos of our dogs to let us know they were doing well. We came home from a long road trip to happy dogs and a spotless house. We will definitely have her watch our dogs in the future!”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Dogs seem to take to me well. I’ve worked as a junior groomer for a few months and trained my own dog. Not professionally, but he listens and understands. I’ve always loved dogs and been an animal person! I have an almost 4 month old baby so I have been a SAHM. I love to work and would like to help my family more. This way I can be at home loving on my son and also your fur babies! We just moved into our forever home due to my husband being retired Navy. We got married in Hawaii where he was stationed and I grew up. Our neighborhood was military and I would watch peoples dogs, board, check ins, walks. I worked at a doggie daycare and became close with a client who would bring her dog over to me to watch instead. Also, became very close with some people in the neighborhood whom I’ve take care of their dogs and now can say are friends like family!

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 love spending time with animals and can't wait to meet your pet, large or small, fosters and rescues! I'm also experienced with birds, rabbits, and other small animals. 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 can provide bathroom breaks every 4-6 hours most days. 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.

“Charisma was an amazing sitter. She sent photos and videos and kept me up to date. She was very attuned to the dogs’ needs and left my home better than she found it. I will definitely be using her again.”

“Lesa was wonderful to work with! She was always responsive to messages even before her recent stay and prompt for our meet and greet and arriving the day of our trip. We could tell she made a nice connection with our River and would be in great hands. Messages and photos while we were away and house is perfect.”

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.

“Great sitter, Sierra was responesive to messages and we came home to our two happy boys! She even kept an eye on our chickens! Would book again and would recommend”

About: Hi there! My name is Hayley and I have an extreme love and passion for ALL animals! Since I was a baby and got my first cat at 6 weeks old, I have grown up in a household full of animals with everything from cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, you name it, and those animals have taught me so much, enough that I want to give back to the local community and their animals! My specialties are with cats and dogs of any age, though if you have another animal in need of service, I am open to anything and ready to learn! Currently, I have two dogs (Jack Russells who are 2 and 8 yrs old) of my own that I have raised since they were both 8 weeks old. I have knowledge in feeding, medication management, daily exercise, enrichment activities such as tricks, routine care (bathing animals), hygiene maintenance, potty training, and as always, I strive to have strong, reliable communication with owners of your furry friends! I specialize in cats and dogs BUT if you are need of services for another animal, please dont hesitate to reach out as I am willing to help, learn whatever I need to, and give some extra love to your pet! AFTER August 10th, all services will be unavailable until December as I return to school outside of the area. Please do NOT book past August 10th. Thanks so much for understanding! ☺️ Mon-Sun: 8am-2:30pm (schedule varies but I will try my best to work something out with you!!) Meet and Greets: Scheduled meetings BEFORE desired sitting dates; I come to your home to get to know you, your fur babies, and the required schedule/rules. (I leave this up to the client's preference but I usually recommend it!) (CAN provide services before/after hours when requested!!) *AFTER August 10th, all services will be unavailable until December as I return to school outside of the area. Please do NOT book past August 10th.* Thanks so much for understanding! ☺️ As I previously mentioned, I have two dogs (both Jack Russells) of my own that are 2 and 8 years old. I strive to maintain a clean space and comfortable for my pets where they can relax and follow their usual routines with no worries. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, provide daily exercise and playtime, and ensure their safety by always supervising. They have designated rest areas (although I do allow animals on furniture), plenty of enrichment activities/toys, and lots of affection of course! I also have a large yard where my dogs love to run around and play with toys (when outside, they are always supervised) and a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks! I am always keeping my eyes on them, making sure they are healthy, eating/drinking, and exercising correctly. In a clients home is a bit different as this is not my personal space. I tend to follow the routine/schedule exactly as written and complete the usual duties such as feeding, walking, playtime, waste/litter cleanup, etc. I keep the home clean, ensure safety over the property and animals, and provide regular updates and photos to owners during each visit. I always double check and make sure all pets are comfortable, safe, and have everything they need in their space before I leave.

“Lauren was amazing. Our dog can be anxious around new people, but she felt comfortable with Lauren right away, which honestly gave us so much peace of mind. She sent thoughtful updates throughout the stay and it was clear Dee was happy and well cared for. She also left our house in great condition. We will absolutely use her again next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend.”

About: I grew up living with dogs and have consistently dog/house sat for friends and family for over a decade. I'm a recent PhD Graduate on the job hunt, so I can spend the days with you dog while working remotely I've pet sat throughout the past decade while working and during graduate school. I'm currently searching for a job, so I have plenty of time to spend with your dog during the day I prefer to care for the dog in the client's home. Your dog is already missing you, they will feel more comfortable with me if they are at home

About: I’ve always grown up around animals in a big, loving family that treats pets like family members, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I’m new to Rover, I do have hands-on experience caring for my own pets as well as helping family friends with dog sitting, check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and giving lots of attention. I genuinely love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m patient, kind, dependable, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your dog loves energetic walks, belly rubs, or just a calm companion, I’m happy to match their needs and make sure they’re well cared for. I’m currently a college student and I’m the Army Reserves taking one summer class and working part-time, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule this summer. I have plenty of free time for dog sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and giving pets the attention they deserve throughout the day. I’m especially available for families who need reliable help during vacations, work hours, or busy summer schedules. Because of my flexibility, I can often accommodate different routines and make pet care a genuine priority. Your pet’s comfort and safety are extremely important to me. I understand how important trust is when someone else is caring for your furry family member, so I always aim to provide dependable, loving, and attentive care. In your home, I will respect your space, carefully follow all instructions, and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and behavior to make sure pets feel secure and happy. I believe in gentle care, patience, and creating a positive experience so both pets and owners feel confident and at ease.

“Alexys was quick to respond and easy to work with. She took great care of my pets, one of whom is blind and has a lot of special needs. She sent me photos throughout the day and I could tell my two Frenchies loved her care and attention. Helpful, professional, trustworthy and caring. I had great peace of mind leaving my dogs with Alexys.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2024, originally helping my mom out with her own pet sitting business. For the past 6 months, I’ve been offering services of my own. I have experience with both cats and dogs and specialize in in-home stays to keep your pets happy and comfortable in their own home. I graduated high school early in January and have been working on my pet care company since then. I am not currently in school, giving me 24/7 availability. I believe the best way to care for pets is to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. This is why I love house sitting for my clients, as their furry friends get to stay in their own home!

About: Member of NC animal advocates united and volunteer at local shelters. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of every breed and age for 15 years+ from puppies and kittens to gentle seniors needing extra care. Vegan with a big heart. Neighbors, friends, and family alike trust me for reliable walks, feeding, caretaking, and companionship. I’m currently in online classes and working part time virtually, so I have plenty of flexibility and availability to caretake! My in person work is currently on hold. So I’m available on weekends, overnight, and morning. I currently have a friendly, well-socialized and pretty spoiled dog and a cat who stays with a friend. I can crate your dog if wanted, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s specific routine and house rules /any special requests in your household too. Long walks are perfectly ok with me.

“Chloe was very easy to communicate with! She answered messages quickly and sent photos while we were away. The house was left clean and our dog happy as can be.”

About: Most of my experience is with dogs of friends or co-workers. I generally keep their dogs at their place where they are most comfortable and take them out frequently for walks/runs or whatever they'd like to do. So long as the dog is house trained and not on the "forbidden breed list" at the apartments I stay, they are welcome to my home too. I've sat a Pointer/Dalmation mix, Maltese mix, Shepherd mix, Chow Chow, Boxer, Cane Corso, and 2 Weimaraners in the past. My fulltime job is a nurse, and I only work 36 hours a week. I don't really consider pet sitting or walking a job because I love dogs so much. Just looking to make some extra income and maybe start my own business someday. I have a laid back personality and dogs tend to take to me immediately or at least stay true to their breeds. Chow Chow was my brother-in-law's dog who barked at me a good 3-4 times before she knew I wasn't a total stranger. Bothered me none.

About: I am a pediatric nurse looking to fill my days with furry friends! I love being outside and being active! I have had dogs and cats since I was little and have lots of experience with very large breeds such as Newfoundland and Great Dane but also very little dogs such as pugs and Chihuahua. I love being active so taking them on walks is also ideal for me. Since I am a nurse, my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am self scheduling so having chunks of 4-6 days off is very common for me. I would love to be able to house sit if needed or even just take your animals on walks while you’re at work! My schedule is very inconsistent because I work 12 hour shifts but only 3 days a week. I have 4 days a week where have nothing at all! I love taking care of animals. I thoroughly enjoy giving them belly rubs and playing fetch or running around outside. Whatever your normal routine with your dogs or cats you have, I will do my best to stick with! I am open to house sitting, dog sitting or dog walking!

“Lilly is terrific. This is the second time she's stayed with Rambi and Winston. We couldn't be happier. Even our neighbor, who we hardly know, was raving about how great Lily is with the dogs. Our boys were in great hands. If you need a dog walker/house-sitter in- or near-Cincinnati, you'd be silly not to try to book with Lily. ”
