House Sitting in Silk Hope

“Claire did a great job caring for our 9-month-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy while we were out of town for five days. This was our first time leaving him, and she made the experience stress-free with her excellent communication. She sent regular updates and pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned, our pup was happy and well cared for, and the house was spotless. I would absolutely recommend Claire to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Charlotte was professional, fun, and so sweet with the dogs. She listened to our details and sent us pictures and notes so we would not worry. Our pups loved her! Highly recommend her and will ask her to sit again!!”

“Madison was great! This was the first time I had someone stay at my house and look after my dogs. She was great with my 4 dogs, even my scardy cat dogs! She was on time and quick to reply when I had questions. I would definitely recommend her and definitely use her again.”

About: Hey there, My name is hannah but most people just call me Harlie. Im a part time stay at home dog mom and trainer. I love dedicating my time to pampering your dogs. Ive been a dog trainer and service dog handler for 10 years and grew up Raising and training hunting dogs. My goal is to treat your pets as i would my own pets. (who are spoiled rotten but dont tell them that) I specialize in dogs with seperation anxiety and behavorial issues. Im available thru the week and the weekends. Your pet will have a ball staying with me. I will make sure your pet has the most fun and comes back to you tired, happy and well mannered. Drop offs and pickups 7 days a week. Tuesday thru Saturday pickups and drop offs will be after 2pm theres no wiggle room on that as ill be at work. Sundays and Mondays pickups and drop offs can be scheduled anytime between 9am and 4pm with some minor give and take for timing. I work night shift hrs 3am to 1pm so your pet is never left alone at home for long. If im gone I have 24/7 camera monitoring in my kennel area so I can always see and hear what's going on. When im home outdoor games and interactive puzzles and treats will fill your pups mental and physical needs. I have a beautiful fenced in back yard, grooming facilities, training room, and more. Your pet will get everything they need and want while here. Everything is tailored to each individual dog based on their needs. While I do provide kennels if your pet is nervous or never boarded before id highly suggest bringing their own Kennels. Any damage done to my kennels will encur a fee and no repeat bookings unless the dog comes with anxiety medications upon next booking and you'll be required to provide your own kennels after that.

“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.”

“Mara was fabulous with Wags. She paid close attention to what he needed and how he was doing. Communication with her was easy from booking through the visit. Will definitely use her again.”

“Carrie stayed with our dog, who has medical issues, for several days. Carrie send updates and pictures of Penny, which allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog!”

About: I have been around and owned dogs most of my life. I have owned small dogs (chihuahua, yorkiepoo) as well as bigger dogs (boxers, goldendoodle). I work full time though on the weekends I have plenty of time to feed, potty and play with your babies. Of course they would get spoiled . I have 3 fenced in areas in my back yard. One of the areas has 3 of my dogs. One of the fence areas is connected to the back porch when my Boxer and his pit mix sister potty and play. The other fence area is not being used by any dogs now. I have plenty of room for your pupper and can use a create if you prefer.

About: I take pride in taking care of your pups. Experience in dealing with all types and any disabilities. My service includes dog walking, overnight stays. Feed 1-3 times day. Potty breaks as many as needed. Taking them to dog parks and walks. Have fun with snuggles and treats. Enjoy their stay as much as possible! Will keep them clean and their areas clean at my house. At clients house can do chores needed to keep the house tidy and/or with the pets.

About: I’ve loved dogs all my life, and finally convinced my mom to adopt a dog during Covid. I’ve lived with roommates’ dogs for most of the past 5 years, and now I’m considering getting my own. But in the meantime I’m trying out the gig economy with pet sitting and some fostering opportunities :) I am flexible with what services I can offer based on your needs. Please reach out with any questions! My summer schedule is pretty flexible apart from a part-time retail job. I live in Carrboro but I am often in Durham and am willing to travel to pet sit. I tend to be home in the evenings and love to have a pet share tv-time with me :) I will not be keeping dogs in my own home, so safety and security will depend on the owners house and preferences. Happy to discuss further

About: Very friendly towards both dogs and dog owners, flexible with different dog breeds, sizes, and conditions. Comfortable with commutation and offering the best possible service 👏 Pet care fits into my schedule almost the entire day by implementing pet care, walking, spending time, and also feeding dogs that I am currently looking after. I’ve been raised in a dog family my entire life and I’m more than knowledgeable with looking after animals including cats and dogs.

“Kiera was so good with our pup! She's so easy to communicate with, asks questions, sends photos, and left our house clean. We appreciate you!”

“My experience with Kelly from start to finish was outstanding. Great communication before, during and after. I will Definitely use again and recommend to all.”

“Meg was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous going away for a week but she took such good care of the dogs and the house. Could not recommend her enough.”

Richard K.

“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”

“Chevaughn did an amazing job! One of my dogs (Toffee) is 'very' skittish & does not warm up to new people well (it often takes weeks - sometimes months - for people just to be able to pet her). However, when we did the first meet & greet, Toffee was curious & got close enough to sniff him, which I thought was a great sign. But then... Chevaughn was actually able to pet her before leaving. She was wary, but let him. It kinda shocked me a bit. We had met with 2 other potential sitters & Toffee wouldn't get near them. With one of them, she wouldn't even come inside the house from the yard, not even for a treat, so long as the lady was there. Chevaughn has great energy, though. He was calm & assertive, moved gently around Carlee & Toffee, and they both became fast friends with him. While we were away, he even sent video of her licking his hand. That was a huge deal... Chevaughn was reliable, on time, consistent & most importantly, he is kind. Next time we need a sitter, he's our guy and I highly recommend him for taking care of your pups..”

“Amber was fabulous house sitting and taking care of our two cats and dog. Our dog is a rescue that has anxiety and separation issues. Amber was patient with him and won him over. Our house was exactly as we left it upon returning. We also received communication about our pets and pictures during Amber’s stay. I would recommend her for house/pet sitting needs”

“Linda was awesome, our dogs loved her and she was always on time and took great care of our dogs. We would definitely like to use her on any of our future trips!”

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, I have taken care of family and friends animals; and I know what it’s like leaving your heart in the care of someone else. I will tailor my care to exactly what you might need. I know how to give oral medication even I have to be tricky with it, and I will care for your animal like they are my own. I have plenty of time to care for your animals! I am available all week, weekends and on holidays. Unless otherwise specified on my calendar. I will always enter calmly and joyfully so your pet is comfortable, I will make sure all water bowls are full and find out what their favorite toys are! Your pet will hopefully be happy when I am coming to take care of them.

“Sherry was lovely! She stayed with our 2 dogs for a weekend and I felt like they were being well taken care of. She sent lots of pictures and provided updates throughout the whole visit. Would definitely book with her again!!!”
