House Sitting North

About: Ive taken care of dogs for my friends and family since college and until recently, had an amazing little Maltese named Sawyer for 14 wonderful years. After his passing earlier this year, I have had 3 different housesitting jobs for my friends which has shown me how much I miss having an animal companion, but I am just not ready to get another one. The max number of dogs that I have ever watched was four but depending on temperament, I could be comfortable with more. By working from home, I’m able to care for dogs in my home or travel to your home, depending on your preference. My typical work schedule is 8:00 AM–5:00 PM, and because I work remotely, I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and, of course, lots of cuddles. I’m happiest when I’m curled up with a good book and a fur baby nearby. My experience with pet sitting has primarily been with families whose pets are not crate trained, so I’m very comfortable with pets having access to furniture and sleeping in the bed. The animals in my life have always been treated as part of the family, and I’m comfortable accommodating different routines and personalities. I have experience caring for dogs who are graze eaters as well as dogs who follow a specific feeding schedule. Before he passed, my little guy was taking several medications, so I’m also comfortable administering medications and keeping up with specific timing and routines. I live in a ranch-style townhouse with a yard, although it is not fenced in. Because of this, I would always follow the owner’s instructions regarding outdoor time and would not allow a pet outside unattended.

“Nicole was fantastic with my senior pups during her housesitting stay! Mobility issues and medications were handled with great care. Lots of cute pics were provided and my pups soaked up every minute of love and attention. Nicole has stellar communication skills and was very flexible when I had a last minute change in plans. I will definitely book her housesitting services again. I highly recommend her services!”

“A++++! Perfect house and dog sitter for a long weekend. Great communicator! We always knew how things were going while we were out of the country. Went above and beyond to get comfortable with our dog and make our dog comfortable.”

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.

“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! ❤️🐾”

“Dawn was incredible! We came home to two very happy, healthy, and well loved pups. I was unavailable to contact sometimes due to our trip and she was still very diligent in sending photos, videos, and updates! My larger pup has had some health scares and Dawn was very detailed in her notes and was willing to take her to the vet immediately upon a small change in behavior but waited for my input ☺️. I will definitely be reaching out to Dawn in the future for any of our needs. I’ve never felt so confident and comfortable in the care our dogs received. We got our honeymoon and our dogs got almost two weeks of spoiling! Not to mention that this was a last minute booking due to our other sitter canceling with less than a weeks notice for a 12 day trip!!”

“Whitney was an absolutely incredible dog sitter. My two boys just loved her and she followed all the routine routines perfectly. She went above and beyond tidying and cleaning up before she left as well. Would definitely book again.”

Claudia C.

“We will never be able to thank Lori enough. There was a fire in our building and she got both pets, and herself, out safely. Our pets immediately warmed up to her, we received lots of photos throughout the weekend, and I knew without a doubt that our pets were safe and taken care of. We would absolutely book with Lori again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.”

“Ashlee did such a great job taking care of our dogs! She was very communicative with us and loving towards our dogs. She also left our home nice and tidy which is much appreciated. We would love to have Ashlee watch Storm and Brax again!”

“Samantha is the best! My dogs love her and she does an amazing job with them and their craziness. She is always communicative, very trustworthy, and was a HUGE help when our flight got cancelled and we needed some extra support until we got home.”

About: Hi! My name is Emily, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. For the past year, I worked at a busy doggy daycare where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments. Working in a fast paced environment taught me how to safely handle multiple dogs at once, recognize body language, manage high energy situations, and keep pets comfortable and secure. Growing up, my family regularly adopted and fostered senior dogs and dogs with behavioral challenges that other people often overlooked. Because of this, I’ve spent my entire life caring for a wide variety of personalities from shy and anxious dogs to high energy playful dogs. I understand that every dog is different and deserves individualized care, patience, and attention. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently in online school, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop in visits, house sitting, or anything else your pups need! Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. While I am unable to board pets in my own home, I am happy to care for pets in their home. With my experience working at a doggy daycare and caring for dogs throughout my life, I am confident handling dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I pay close attention to body language, routines, and any instructions provided by owners to ensure each pet receives individualized care. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with respect. I maintain feeding schedules, provide exercise and enrichment, keep living areas clean, monitor for any signs of illness or stress, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away .

“Amber is amazing! I didn’t want to give her a great review so I don’t have to share her! She is communicative and really sweet. We highly recommend. Just don’t vacation at the same time as we do. :)”

“Hannah did a great job with our dog while we were out of town for the weekend. She was communicative and sent photos. We will re-book for future needs.”

“Brittney was the absolute best! I used her for house sitting, and I can’t say enough good things. Super attentive and responsive, sent me a ton of amazing pics, and cared for my house and animals like they were her own! She left my place spotless and my dog and cat loved her. Will be using again for sure!”

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets since I was a kid! I have 2 cats of my own and can’t wait to take care of your pets! Pet care is a never ending job! I have a flexible work schedule working as a nurse and have plenty of time to give your pets the love and care they deserve! I keep a clean home and intend to do the same for yours as well as light house cleaning chores if needed! I am happy to help out where needed!

“Jordan was great and was able to help us out on short notice. She was very responsive and easy to work with ahead of her stay. She provided great care for our dogs and went above our expectations for enrichment and attention while staying with our 2 pups. She was also a great houseguest and left the house in great shape following her stay. We would definitely recommend her for house sitting and drop in visits!”

Thomas D.
