Cat Sitting North Star

“Alison took wonderful care of our 20-year-old cat while we were away. She was attentive, gentle, and clearly gave her lots of love and attention. We especially appreciated the detailed updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend her!”

About: I have been involved with pet rescue for coming up on 10 years and have been an avid pet parent to all types of animals for my entire life. My family and I were responsible for the rehabilitation of pets with high needs. This involved pets with both behavioral concerns and medically fragile pets through my fostering experience. I work with them to ensure they can put their best paw forward into their forever home. I have also attended several pet training class for fosters and my own family pets and am generally good with pets of all temperaments. I work full time, but am committed to taking care of all of our pets! Primarily I would be looking for night and weekend work to make sure I have adequate time to spend with your fur babies. I have 3 cats that live in my home and mostly roam freely (except for mealtimes) I also have a large dog kennel in my home for boarding needs. I have a small fenced in yard and also live in an easily walkable area with lots of doggie neighbors.

“We only had a pop in visit scheduled on Thanksgiving but met Renee prior and got to see her with our GSD Rudy. He's a 90 pound dog so could be intimidating to some people, but not Renee! He like her just fine too and she was very interactive with him. You can tell a dog person when you meet one and Renee was definitely into dogs! We will use her again when the need arises. :)”

About: I’ve always had a furry friend by my side, since as long as I could remember. I provide reliable, patient, and personalized care to each pet I care for. I love both dogs and cats, no matter breed, size, or personality, I always make sure they’re safe and comfortable. As a responsible pet sitter/walker, I keep owners updated and follow routine in order to keep your pet happy and loved while you’re away:) Pet care fits easily into my routine because I have a flexible weekday schedule. I’m currently a student at Wilmington University, while balancing mutiple side incomes as a 23 year old in today’s world. I’m available throughout the week for walks or drop-in visits, and I can adjust my schedule to meet each pet's needs. I care for every pet like they're my own. I follow their usual routine, make sure they have food, water, exercise, and lots of attention, and I always follow the owner's instructions. My priority is keeping your pets safe, happy, and comfortable.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was young. Growing up with new foster puppies every week, I learned how to house-train young puppies and keep them out of trouble. I love spending time with pets and have really enjoyed pet sitting for friends and family! I just graduated from NC State University this May and am taking this summer off from work before beginning my PhD program this fall. This means I will have a of availability to spend time with your pets and provide them with the attention they deserve. I will be available for home visits at your desired frequency and duration so that your pets get the attention and play time they need.

“After meeting Christie for the first time and seeing how patient she was with Ellie, I could see she was an animal lover. I was able to relax and have a great time visiting family for the weekend.”

“Jenni was WONDERFUL! On her second visit she asked if she could bring her dog for a playdate with her boyfriend and she sent photos and videos of happy, tail wagging pups playing ball together! I'm going to hire Jenni to come more regularly, hopefully with her pup! I will definitely use her for boarding because now my guy will be right at home with them all!”

“Sarah came highly recommended from our old sitter who is leaving town. She is kind, patient, and genuinely caring. Our dog felt comfortable and happy right away, which gave us total peace of mind at meet and greet. Such a nice, trustworthy person—we’d absolutely book her again.”

Bharat C.

“Great to meet and excellent with all 3 of my animals! I have 2 senior dogs and a 1 year old cat who is very nervous around new people but he walked right up to her easily. I’m very nervous about leaving my 2 senior dogs with anyone considering one is fully blind, the other has a messed up leg along with other major health concerns but she has gained my trust in caring for my boys while I’m away. Will be hiring again and keeping as their main sitter!”

“Julia was absolutely amazing! She was right on time, very flexible, super sweet, and treated my puppy, Fern, like her own! She and Fern became fast friends, and Fern was very sad to see Julia go. I’ll be booking with Julia again, no question about that!”

“Thank you Lisa! To all looking for a Rover pet sitter. Lisa has watched Brooklyn several times now and each visit has been great. She really takes great care of my dog, Brooklyn. I highly recommend Lisa!”

About: I have taken care of neighbors’ and grandparents’ dogs as well as my own. I love dogs more than most people and would do anything to protect them and keep them happy. As a college student away from my fur babies at home, this fits perfectly into my schedule. I have a lot of time on my hands until I start grad school this summer! I will just be taking the fur babies for walks as I am in an apartment that unfortunately does not allow pups. I will use safe paths or neighborhoods as well as any parks or fields that allow us!

“Julia is GREAT! She took wonderful care of our 4 babies while we were away and gave thorough updates with lots of photos after each visit. Our pup can be very anxious when we’re gone but he looked so happy to be hanging out with her and didn’t seem stressed at all when we got back. One of the cats is very timid as well and after only a visit or two, he was coming out to greet her every time she stopped by!”

About: Hi I’m Kendra and I love dogs of all sizes and ages! I grew up with two family dogs, whom I love very much! You will enjoy that I will give your dog/dogs my full attention.I will give them tons of loving pets and hugs as well as play with them until they want to quit! I will also clean up after them after they go to the bathroom. In addition, I can feed them and fill up their water bowls. Anything your dogs need I will try to provide. I will keep your dog safe and protected while I am there. He/she will surely enjoy their time with me. I can’t wait to meet your adorable furry friend in the near future and can’t wait to work with you! I’m currently a new mom who works part-time so my schedule is very clear! I am free for walks, boarding, and day care any day of the week :) My house has a big yard which makes it very easy for quick potty trips and play. In addition my neighborhood is nice and big with fun trails and parks nearby that I can take your furry friends to! I can crate your dogs if needed and they are also allowed on furniture if that’s what they are used to :)

About: What sets me apart is my positive energy, flexibility, and genuine love for animals. I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have years of experience dog walking and pet sitting for friends and families, so caring for animals is second nature to me. I love getting to know each pet’s personality—whether that means keeping up with a playful puppy, sticking to a routine for a more laid-back dog, or giving extra patience and gentle attention to senior pets. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, following detailed care instructions, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to adapt to your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I’m always eager to help and treat every pet like my own! Pet care fits easily and consistently into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on client's needs. Once Summer starts, I will be available more often! I’m able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, and playtime to make sure pets get reliable, timely care. I’m also good at adjusting my routine when needed, whether that means last-minute requests or extended care. Because I’ve grown up with pets and have experience pet sitting for friends and family, caring for animals is already a natural part of my life. I enjoy building it into my day and making sure each pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box maintenance, medications if needed, and any specific preferences. I’m very respectful of your home and keep things clean, safe, and just as you left them. I take time to build trust with each pet, paying attention to their body language and personality—whether they’re energetic, shy, or somewhere in between. I make sure they get the right balance of play, exercise, and relaxation, while always supervising for safety. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space that’s calm and secure. I keep a close eye on pets, maintain consistent routines, and ensure they feel comfortable and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.
