Dog Sitting in Pittsboro

“Autumn took great care of our dog. She took lots of pictures, included detailed notes on how the visits went, and was incredibly easy going! We will definitely book her for future visits and recommend her to other pet owners!”

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of loving and caring for pets through every stage of life—from the playful energy of puppies to the tender needs of seniors. I’ve cared for dogs with a variety of needs and am comfortable giving medications, following special routines, and tuning in to each pet’s unique personality. I find joy in helping animals feel safe, happy, and loved—whether that’s through belly rubs, slow walks, or just quiet companionship. Whether your pet needs energetic playtime or a peaceful place to relax, I’m here to provide loving, dependable care every step of the way. I'm a stay-at-home mom to a school-aged child, which gives me a consistent window of availability during the weekdays. I’m generally available for pet care between 8:00 AM and 1:00 PM, Monday through Friday, while my child is in school. I may also be available occasionally during school breaks (track-outs), depending on the week. I am happy to provide weekly care, however my availability may be different during my child's track out schedule. Feel free to reach out—I’m happy to work with you to find a time and schedule that fits! In Your Home: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely and take time to get to know each pet’s personality and preferences. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. In My Home: I offer a calm, pet-friendly environment with a fully fenced yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor play and fresh air. Pets in my home will be part of our daily rhythm, receiving plenty of love, supervision, and playtime—including access to a variety of dog toys. Since I do have a young child, I kindly ask that pets staying in my home are comfortable around children and do not have a history of chewing or damaging household items. With your permission and if your pet enjoys riding in the car, they may occasionally join me for a short carpool ride to pick up my child depending on the time. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own while keeping both their needs and my home environment safe and happy for everyone. We currently do not have any pets in our home.

About: Between us, we have raised 4 dogs, trained 3 of them from when they were puppies, and cared for over a dozen. We also have raised an orange cat who is as well-trained as a cat can be. We are a pair of teachers on summer break, so we have some flexibility during the day for dog walking or drop-in visits. We can do weekdays and weekends. We have experience meeting all kinds of pet needs! Anxious dogs, finicky eaters, crate training, leash training, high energy dogs, flighty cats, etc. etc. We can walk, play with, feed, provide water, brush, and whatever else your pet needs.

“Gwen cared for my two kitties as if they were her own. She was able to notice a change in behavior of my 16 yo cat and alerted us in time to help her. She stayed with her until we were able to make arrangements to come home early. My cats really liked her too- which is highly unusual. Would 100% recommend Gwen and would entrust our pets care to her again.”

About: Since I was a child, I've always been surrounded by pets of all kinds. From dogs to cats to chameleons and hamsters, I've even tended to a tortoise! From bathing and cleaning tanks to homemade pet meals, and everything in between, it won't scare me away. Between my friends and my family, I'm the one that they go to when it comes to watching their furry family members Currently, my work schedule is 5 days a week (varied days), mainly between the hours of 4am & 11am. That being said, if provided with 3 weeks prior notice, I can request off those days you’d need. For short notices, I will do my best to adapt my schedule with your pets. The safety and health of your furry family member is a top priority of mine. Whether it is in your home or on outings, you will always be aware of our location, the times we are away, and whether there are other animals there. Also, medication & feeding times are always added to my reminders so that they aren’t missed. Above all, I will never hesitate to reach out about your pet and their needs.

“Lyn was amazing! We needed someone last minute for our special needs dog and didn’t even hesitate. She took great care of our pet and respected our house and property. Our dog loved her and we are excited about having her as an option to sit for us in the future.”

“We lucked out scoring Savannah’s availability last minute to care for our two senior dogs and energetic doodle puppy. She was always prompt in her communication and arrival times, made best friends with the pups immediately, and asked great questions in order to best understand their routine. She provided detailed communication regarding her visits including unsolicited confirmation of instructions being understood and followed (so reassuring!), always with the most adorable photos of all the fun they’d had. Oral meds for our senior dogs were no problem, as she’s knowledgeable and experienced in all kinds of animal care—so much so that she was even able to give wellness updates on my backyard chickens! Highly recommend, and will absolutely be seeking Savannah’s services again the next time we need care for our diverse group of pets!”

About: Hi, friends! I’m Alexa, mama to 2 human babies and 1 fur baby. I started my first pet sitting business when I was in middle school and have cared for almost every animal you can think of! I am super friendly, responsible, and organized. You can rest assured I’ll give your fur baby loving care while you are away! I’m currently not working full time so I have loads of weekday flexibility, outside of drop-off and pick-up times at school! Weekends are a bit trickier but I will do my best to work with your schedule. Aside from caring for basic needs, I’ll give your fur baby lots of love while I am with them. The more detailed instructions you can leave for me, the better! I want to know it all: your pet’s likes, dislikes, favorite toys or treats, etc.

“Fabulous and attentive caregiver to my 3 cats and home. Highly recommend and wish she lived next door. :)”

About: Something that sets me apart from other dog sitters is that I am able to take care of multiple kids and animals at the same time. The first job I had I took care of a pitbull, took care of the house, and children all at once. My one main love is animals. I love taking care of them no matter what. I believe they deserve a loving and caring environment when their owners are out and about. I love taking them on walks, playing with them, picking up after them, brushing them, and more! Pet care fits into my daily schedule well. I absolutely would drop anything to take care of an animal. My only conflict is that on Tuesdays and Thursdays I will be taking classes for my college. For me, I always make sure to get the pet some sort of exercise during the day or the period of me being at the house. Such as, playing around or walking. I make sure the pet uses the restroom at least once while I'm there and I always make sure to pick up after them. If they are scheduled to be fed, I will feed them the correct amount of food instructed. Whatever the client asks me to do, I will make sure to do it before I leave after my shift.

“Ana took away any anxiety that we may have had about leaving our dog - Emmi - behind for the first time since rescuing her. We received daily pictures and videos of Emmi playing, retrieving, and”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have one of my own, I am great at being active with them and would love to dog sit or dog walk for you. I have plenty of references, and would love to watch your dog babies and treat them like my own for how every long you need. I currently have a part time job that only have 4 hour shifts so my availability is very open and dogs wouldn’t be left along for more then that time! We have a big fenced in area for our dogs and they also go in and out with there wireless fence collars, but also walking them on a leash wouldn’t be a problem

About: I am an experienced and reliable pet sitter dedicated to ensuring the well-being of your pet in my care. I can offer feeding, walking, and medication administration. I am a full time teacher so it is my nature to create a safe and nurturing environment for your pet(s). I will foster a positive relationship with your furry companion and keep you up to date on our #pawsome adventures while you are away. I work full time as a teacher but have plenty of time for morning visits, evening visits and weekend care. I always have holidays and the summer off. I provide comprehensive care for pets, including feeding, walking, and administering medications as needed. I create a safe and stimulating environment, offering companionship and playtime. I’m experienced in handling various breeds and adapting to individual pet needs, I will ensure that your pet(s) receive proper attention, exercise, and affection while you are gone.

About: I've had animals in my house for over 20 years. Spanninng a cockatiel, a cat, five dogs and my clown fish who are going on 18 years old. Once, I drove the bird into the Tuft's vet school in a blizzard on a weekend night. Another time I took one of the clown fish into the Tufts satellite clinic on a Sunday because he hadn't eaten for days. Both pets lived to tell their tale. Cats are great, I love how they set the rules :) But dogs are where my heart is, especially Airedales, and rescue dogs are a labor of love! My priorities start with my pet family, unless I'm taking care of yours. Then, your pets become my priority. I work from home most of the time and that allows me to have the ultimate flexibility in my schedule so that I can care for your pets as appropriate, on their time. I've raised my dog training game significantly over the past few years, attending regular sessions with my trusted trainer, Baptiste. Our work has focused on highly reactive dogs and also puppy training. Like kids, pets can do no wrong. I do not get upset with them, I just clean the mess ;)

“So thankful for Claire! She was amazing with our pup who is very anxious. She was amazing with updates and pictures! I would 100% book again!”

“Madison did a great job with our dogs. Excellent communication and care. Would definitely recommend and will certainly utilize her services in the future.”

About: I am a life long pet owner and dog lover. You know, the type of person that goes to a party and hangs out petting the dog. When I was a child, a friendly dog followed me to our beach house. Teenage me would go for a walk around the neighborhood and would normally have ten dogs follow me. In my college days, I often house-sat for folks (dogs and cats) when they were away. Now, I have a pet family and can only spread my love for furry friends with walks and visits. I have experience with dogs, cats, chickens, and lizards. My work schedule varies, but I am often available on Mondays and Tuesdays. I am open to other times and dates, however, I may need more notice. I try to follow the pet's routine as best I can. Any special instructions are always welcome. Tummy rubs and ear scratches are included, obviously.

About: Hi! I recently graduated from Villanova University and am currently applying to dental school! Since I have a lot of time off I am looking to help out! I have two miniature schnauzers and absolutely love dogs. I am super friendly and love to play and take my dogs on walks! I am very good with animals and love them so much! I am currently in the process of applying to dental school and conducting research, so I have a lot of free time and would love to help out! I have a fenced in yard at my house to make sure my dogs stay safe! I am from New York but attended Villanova University! I graduated with a degree in Pscyhology and was on the Pre-Dental track. I currently live in an apartment in North Carolina, but the complex has a fenced in dog area which is very nice and gated. I can send pictures and more information if needed! Also my two dogs don’t live in my apartment with me! They live at home, so if you need your dog to stay over there won’t be any other pets!

“Dan is a caring and communicative sitter. He took care of everything we asked beyond expectation. We have a challenging dog to take care of and he was great! Highly recommend!”
