Miyu is fantastic—friendly, reliable, and always keeps me updated. She walked my dog for a week and did an amazing job. I really appreciate that she lets me know in advance about any potential issues, and my dog clearly has a great time with her. Highly recommend!

About: Hi, I’m Yuji! I’ve been a dog owner for over 6 years and have cared for pups of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. From teaching my own dog basic commands to helping friends and family with theirs, I’ve learned how to meet each dog’s unique needs. I treat every pet like family—always patient, reliable, and attentive to their routine. Whether it’s lots of play, gentle senior care, or puppy potty breaks, I’ve got it covered. Specialties include: 🐾 Puppy care & training support 🐾 Senior dog care & medication reminders 🐾 Active dogs who love long walks Your dog’s happiness and safety are always my top priority! 🐶💛 I work full-time at Duke, so my schedule can be a little unpredictable. That said, I’m usually available on weekends, holidays, and during more flexible times in the winter and summer. I’m always happy to chat and see if I can accommodate your needs! For house sitting, I offer a 12-hour overnight stay to make sure your home and pets are well cared for, though it doesn’t include 24/7 coverage. Feel free to reach out anytime to check availability—thank you! 😊 I love caring for dogs in their own home, especially since my pup prefers to be the only dog in mine. I primarily offer drop-in visits and walks, but I may also be available for house sitting depending on my work schedule. Before starting any service, I’d love to connect and learn more about your dog. Every pup is unique, and understanding their habits, needs, and personality helps me provide the best care possible. Let’s work together to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! 🐾😊

I requested super last minute, I mean like 1 hour later and she was accommodating and even able to come earlier. I wasn’t able to make it home to let her out because I got hung up at work. She definitely made me feel so much better about leaving her.

About: I have had pets as part of my family my whole life. I treat each one I meet like they are my own and have provided care for friends and family throughout the years. During college I helped pet sitting future guiding eyes for the blind dogs. My current dog is now a senior at 11 yo American Bully. We have struggled with allergies since the day I adopted him at 10 months old. I know how to pay extra attention to skin and ear and can administer oral or topically meds. I work remote and have a flexible schedule. During your busy days I can provide drop ins for a bathroom breaks, play time, extra cuddles, and/or a walk. When I’m with your pets and in their space I will provide a safe and kind environment. They should never feel uncomfortable or nervous. As my dog has aged he has become more cautious, causing me to have to be more aware and respectful of the situations he’s in.

About: I am a recent Duke graduate on the pre-veterinary track. I have extensive experience caring for laboratory dogs and I currently work at a veterinary clinic. I regularly walk, bathe, and socialize dogs and cats. I also have experience administering medications and subcutaneous injections. I currently work part-time so I have plenty of availability! I am completely free about 3 days per week and I frequently work half-days. I am happy to visit your pet multiple times a day and spend lots of quality time playing and cuddling. I am a consistent and responsible worker. I am happy to give your pets multiple visits per day, as well as do housekeeping tasks such as checking the mail and watering plants.

Tanya goes above & beyond for my dogs, it’s so wonderful knowing they’re in great care! I have polar opposite dogs, an older, tiny yorkie with lots of needs, and a younger, energetic lab who’s very extra. She handles both of them amazingly in the same visits & I’m always thrilled to book with her again. Definitely reach out to her, you won’t regret it!

Sarah was a life saver for us! A last minute unexpected need for a walker came up, and Sarah was so kind to lend a hand with my leash reactive dog. She was amazing with Schpoozi in handling his special needs, and showed up when she said she would. Dependable, responsible and sweet, what more could you ask for? Highly recommended!

About: I’ve been a pet mom for over 25 years while raising my five children. Since losing my loyal companion 2 years ago and empty nesting, I am ready to shower love and care to your beloved pet. There’s nothing like the unconditional love of a pet and I can’t wait to meet your furry companion! I am currently a companion to my 90 year old mother and am home every day. I can easily incorporate care for your pet into our very flexible schedule. I can offer walks, play and companionship to your pet and visits to dog parks if they like to play with other dogs. Deck available at home- yard is not fenced in. Beautiful walking area around the lake behind our home.

About: I've been taking care of dogs (and cats) for decades and loving every minute. Very reliable and happy to help out. I'm experienced working with puppies to seniors. I'm semi-retired and therefore have a very flexible schedule and lots of free time to pamper your pets. Weekdays during the day are generally more open. I have a busy house with four cats and a 30 pound dog. I can only keep one dog at a time and they need to be cat and dog friendly. I can't offer 24/7 care, but would only be leaving the home for errands. I live on four acres in a quiet neighborhood but do not have a fenced in yard, I take them on frequent walks (four walks a day). At your home, I'm happy to come by to provide whatever pet care you require.

Yuji is simply THE BEST. He’s been helping me with my dog Elliott since he was a puppy - and he’s now a 105 lb bestest boy. Yuji is super reliable, incredibly patient and very caring. He’ll give updates with as much or as little information as you want so you know your dog is good while you’re gone. I couldn’t recommend anyone more than Yuji to help with your fur baby!

I had a 15 year old lab & a 12 year old blue tick. While we were away at times Layla would pet sit and give our dogs baths when asked. She was always so friendly and professional whenever she came over and our dogs loved her! Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking her services! She is also good with cats and other animals.

When Rachael first met our dogs, I knew right away she was a great fit! Now, my dogs LOVE getting to see her any time she comes by. She has watched my dogs on multiple occasions for both drop in visits and overnight stays. She treats them as her own, and keeps me updated on everything throughout her stay. She is one of the very few people I trust to keep my babies safe, happy, and healthy until we return. If you choose to work with Rachael, I know you’ll feel the same way!
