House Sitting in Oxford

“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!! 😊”

About: Hey, I’m James! I’m a 37-year-old UNC Chapel Hill graduate with a degree in Biology, originally from Jacksonville, Florida. I’ve always had a genuine passion for animals—especially the four-legged kind—and a deep appreciation for the natural world. I work from home as a computer programmer, and I’m picking up extra work to get ahead on my mortgage. I’m someone who brings common sense, respect for your home and privacy, love for your animals, and I follow instructions to the letter. Whether I’m exploring the outdoors or spending time with furry companions, I bring curiosity, care, and a thoughtful approach to everything I do. I work from home as a computer programmer, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Pet care fits into my day easily—I’m able to stop by for feedings, litter box cleanups, playtime, or just to keep your cat company. Since I’m not tied to a commute or rigid hours, I can adjust to your pet’s routine and needs, whether that means morning check-ins, evening visits, or anything in between. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I focus on keeping things calm, clean, and consistent. I follow your instructions to the letter—feeding schedules, litter box routines, medications, or special quirks your cat might have. I respect your space like it’s my own and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for. With my own two cats, I’ve learned that patience, gentle attention, and understanding body language go a long way. I aim to give your cat the same level of care and comfort I give my own.

“This was the first time we used Alex’s services and could not be happier! His communication is top notch! Our house was left super clean and our lab was a happy pup! Highly recommend!”

“Taylor was fantastic with my dog while I was away for a long trip. My dog took instantly to her when they first met, which is a rare occurrence! She took excellent care of my home and was attentive to my dogs needs. I have already re-booked with her for another stay, I would highly recommend!”

Bailey Z.

“Caroline and Gavin took such good care of our fur babies while we were away. We appreciate their communication with us and we could tell from pictures our dogs were happy and cared for. Thank you both!!”

Emily B.

“Marcus was great, he is just a nice person, respectful and polite. He was great with Bear and I believe Bear felt very comfortable with him. He brought in my flag since it was very windy and folded it beautifully into a respectful triangle. He did it before I even thought to ask. I think he's the best!”

Carol S.

“Ash was wonderful--easy and flexible to set up time to meet and greet. Responsive when I was gone & open to feedback when I returned. Def a win win! Thank you.”

Rhonda R.

“This was our second time having Rachel watch our two pups - she was just as great as the first time! She sends updates and pictures, and we can tell our dogs are very happy when she’s around. It’s so nice to not have to worry when we are gone. We already have Rachel booked for a third visit this year!”

Alexa D.

“We were very satisfied with Paola. She was easy to get along with and she was very calm with our active dog. We would book her again when she is available. Rita and Paige Tuttle”

“Chloe did an excellent job pet sitting for us. All of the animals were so well cared for!”

Marjorie V.

“My girls were in the best care with Jessica!”

Andrea H.

“Julia is a good as they come! She took incredible care of our dog while we were away for a week and even dealt with an unexpected home maintenance issue that came up during her stay. It was so reassuring to know that our pet and home were in great hands and I truly can’t recommend her services enough!”

Bethany N.

“This is the first time I’ve used Eva and she was awesome! By the looks of the photos, I can see that the pets were immediately comfortable with her and were in great hands. When I returned home, you’d never know that she stayed at my house. She left it in the same condition as when I left it. I would definitely use her again!”

Robyn L.

“Melissa was great! Sent multiple pictures, kept us well informed about our fur baby. We would definitely have Melissa take care of our Olive again!”

About: Hi! I’m Skylar, I’m a high school graduate, and I’ve been caring for animals since I was 14 and even for my own animals before then. I’ve volunteered at vets so I know basic animal health, and I am flexible with dates and timings to fit your needs(: I currently nanny Tuesday through Thursdays from 9-1 and I pickup other small jobs at a coffee shop on off days. But with that I am flexible to care for your pet whenever you need me, weather it’s staying in your home or dropping in for check ins. I offer to stay in your home or drop in for check ins when needed. When doing so I am sure to love on your animal and play with them as much as they’d like and I am respectful of your home and your belongings. I always make sure to clean up after myself and leave a home better than I found it so that pet owners can return home to a clean place and a happy pet.

About: With over 6 years of hands-on animal care experience, I’ve worked with a variety of pets, ensuring their comfort, safety, and happiness. I began volunteering at a local ranch at 15, gaining valuable skills in handling and caring for animals. Since then, I've become a trusted pet sitter, providing reliable and loving care for pets of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it's playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pets company, I’m dedicated to treating them like my own. I offer flexible availability to accommodate your pet's needs, including weekdays, weekends, and evenings. Whether it's daily check-ins, walks, or overnight care, I can adjust to fit your schedule and ensure your pet receives consistent, loving attention Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. With years of experience in animal care, I’m committed to providing a safe, loving environment where your pets can feel at ease. You can trust me to follow any special instructions and create a stress-free experience for your furry family members. I understand the importance of reliability and will treat your pets and home with the utmost respect, giving you peace of mind while you're away.

About: I am a true animal lover. I have had pets my entire life (50+ years!!). I also volunteer at animal shelters and rescue organizations. I have saved animals lives...ask me about Luciano!. I know how much we love our pets and to many of us, they are our family and mean the world to us. That is how I would describe myself as well. I'm very trustworthy and responsible. If I make a commitment to care for your family member(s), I will give them TLC as if they were my own. If I had the ability, I would have my own sanctuary. I am currently available to care for your dogs, cats and any other pets that you have. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or to discuss possible arrangements. Best wishes, Arlene I am a newer resident to NC. I unfortunately was laid off from my job during Christmas 2024. Right now , my preference is to work with animals or humans with special concerns. I currently have almost open availability to care for your cherished pets. I can care for other animals as well, including lizards, snakes, fish, birds, bunnies, chickens, even pet rodents! Your pets safety is of upmost concern to me. I will follow whatever guidelines and preferences you have. Written information is helpful. I am extremely trustworthy.

About: I love nature and pets love it even more! Walking trails could be so therapeutic for them and I am a willing participant in the activity! I understand the love you have for your pet and it's an honor to be trusted to care for them! I am available during the day to look after your pet! We can have fun or relax while you work comfortably without a worry ! I love taking pictures!! So I'll be sure to share your pets day with you. Caring for them in their own home would probably make them more confident and comfortable. I can dog sit at your house or take them on a stroll.

“A+++ Harley was knowledgeable and mature, caring and trustworthy! We could not have found anyone more qualified to pet/house sit for us. There was not one moment of concern while we were away as to whether or not our pets were in good hands. She communicated every day with photos and messages showing how happy they were. We couldn't be more grateful for her service, her time and her attention shown in loving our dogs as if they were her own.”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 11 years old and I absolutely love meeting new people! My friends and family always refers me as the “crazy cat lady” because I have 3 cats of my own! I am currently in school Monday-Thursday so I offer pet care Friday-Sunday! I always try and make time and make sure I am a help to others! I make sure if pets need to be leashed that it happens before going outside or leaving the house! I also always clean up after each animal to ensure cleanliness in the neighborhood!
