Highly-rated overnight sitters - Durham
“Cindy was amazing. Great with communication and extremely flexible with our big flight cancellation/delay that lasted several days. I would definitely use her services again.”
“They were so fabulous!!! Watched my girl Winnie on my wedding night. They picked her up, dropped her off and were super flexible on what was a crazy day. Would definitely recommend!!!”
“Finding someone that you can trust that will care for and love your fur baby as you do can be challenging. We were able to find someone and more in Robin. From the moment we started taking to the meet and greet to leaving Remy with her for a few days was fantastic. Her communication was excellent and fast right from the beginning. We weren't gone long before she was already sending pictures which is something we said we would take any time.. throughout our few days away we received many updates and pictures and from the pictures we could see that Remy was very happy and being cared and loved just as we do. Robin's compassion to take care of and spend time with animals is very clear. Remy even seemed a little sad after we picked him up and brought him home like he missed her and her fun dog Stella. We can't recommend Robin enough and we will definitely be using again!”
“Natalie took great care of our 15 week old Berner puppy!! She had an upset tummy and Natalie was very communicative and offered to feed our pup chicken and rice — we were so relieved to have her and definitely recommend her to care for your pets!”
“Kymberly and Robert always do such a great job with my Mala. Mala is 15 years old now and has stayed with them many times. She always knows when I pack her travel bag that she will get to vacation with them, and she gets so excited! Ours dogs are family, and it can be hard to leave them, but I never have any concerns whatever when I leave Mala with Kymberly and Robert. They are my trusted sitters!”
“A very clean and comfortable environment for my 2 boys to stay while we were away. Good communicator while we were away. Also took on my wild 9mo old golden, who was able to get some energy out in the spacious back yard!”
“Elisabeth was the absolute best! Lots of pictures and great communication- my doggo had the biggest smile in every picture and video. She was very gracious accommodating my last minute request and my doggo was so happy at pick up. We will definitely be booking again with her!”
“Neil and Abby were great. Good communication and our dog was very happy there - lots of good play time with their dog Molly. Would definitely have Delta board with them again in the future!”
“I have a very anxious dog and it’s been difficult to find a sitter who gets along with him but Marna has been a total lifesaver. She has been very professional, accommodating, and just delightful to work with, and I highly recommend her.”
“Natalie was lovely! She kept my high energy cattle dog happy, busy, and healthy (which is quite an accomplishment for my pup). She was awesome with sending pictures and updates. I would have her watch my dingo again in a heartbeat. 100% recommend.”
“Christina was absolutely fabulous. We usually take long trips once a year, which is difficult to plan without having someone trustworthy to leave our Lucky. He is a friendly and easy-going dog, but has experienced anxiety before, which usually affects his digestive system. But the care he received from Christina and the fun he had with other dog pals for almost three weeks was more than perfect. We are so grateful, and he'll definitely be back.”
“Chelsea was absolutely wonderful with our senior dog. Chelsea sent updates and pictures and we always knew that Hazel was in the best care while we were on vacation. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Christina did a great job with Crosby. I trusted that he was well cared for and got lots of love and attention. Normally a very stressed out dog, he seemed very relaxed when I picked him up. We'll definitely use her again in the future.”
“Claudia and Jason were an absolute lifesaver. We needed a last minute sitter while visiting Maine and they came through. Drop off was a breeze and I knew Chase was in good hands. Regular updates including photos reassured myself and the kids that Chase was doing well. I can’t thank them enough and I can honestly attest that your dog is in good hands with them. I would absolutely without hesitation use them again if we’re in town.”
“Audrey is amazing. We have 2 dogs and one is older than most, 18. She has a few things that can make watching her a challenge and Audrey went above and beyond. This was my first time doing anything like this and she made the process so easy and when we went on our trip we knew they would be in good hands. She sent pictures and updates with them which was great to get on the summit of a mountain. Most definitely 5 stars for Audrey and would recommend her to all friends and family!! Thank you so much!!”
“Jessica was awesome with my pups! It was last minute and a puppy 4 months old with lots of energy. When I pulled in to pick them up and they were out playing with the kids I knew I made the right choice. She made me feel as though I could enjoy my weekend away and that the dogs would be fine. This was my first time using a sitter and couldn't have asked for better!”
“Lauren was amazing with my two pups! They got all of their needs met and were very well taken care of, lots of cuddles and good sniffs. I received lots of updates and tons of pictures which is always appreciated. Will use Lauren for my pups again in the future :)”
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Sridevi truly loves animals and treats them like part of her own family. Her home is warm, clean, and perfectly set up for dogs to feel safe and comfortable. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Baxter came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for- honestly I think he had a little vacation of his own. I would absolutely recommend Sri to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“I was initially a bit apprehensive about boarding my energetic Lab puppy for the first time, but Heidi took great care of him and alleviated my concerns. She sent updates and photos each day, and my pup looked happy and socialized, which put me at ease. Bonus: He napped for almost the entire day upon returning home! We will definitely book with her again!”

“We have been lucky to have Kasch look after our cats quite a few times. They are comfortable with him and appreciate the pets while we are away. Very responsive and professional.”
“Jonas has been great with our cat, spending videos and keeping us updated. They also waded through 17” of snow when we were out of town to feed our cat, and changed around their schedule to bring a package in for us before the snow came. Would highly recommend!”
“Hilary regularly checks in and sends us updates after our kitties are fed and one is given their insulin shot/meds. Somehow our supposedly "easier-than-dogs" pets have become very high maintenance so finding someone we trust is very important to us. Our cats always seem very calm when we return from being away which makes me confident Hilary is a wonderful caretaker for them!”
“Maricela is a cat whisperer. One of my cats who always hides came out to spend time with her when she was cat sitting for us. She gave special attention to my older kitty and one neighborhood cat who only comes in at night. I worry about my cats, and I didn't worry at all with Maricela there. She sent me lots of pics as requested. Would definitely have Maricela back!”

Lots of experience with animals of all sizes and breeds.
“Yesenia was wonderful with our dog. We used her for check ins. She made the time to come over prior for a meet and greet, and gave thorough updates (and asked appropriate questions) while we were away. It was our first time trying Rover and it went great. We would definitely work with her again.”
“Christine provided excellent service from start to finish! She was always responsive, communicative, and genuinely kind and attentive to our pets. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
About: I am very responsible, reliable, hard-working, and deeply caring person with a love for pets and animals! I grew up taking care of the family dog, adopted and trained my German Sheperd mix, and now have a puppy I am training. I also currently have 4 lovely cats. 🙂 I will listen to all my client's requests and specific needs for taking care of their beloved pet(s)! I am always attentive to the pets that are within my care. I understand that each pet has their own specific needs and quirks. A pawsitive experience for the animal and their owner is my top priority. I also am very attentive to certain training your pup my be practicing while they are in my care, if requested. :) I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I also work part time from home, which means I am always available to keep an eye on your pets needs. We have a very friendly 3 year old dog who is brilliant at reading another dogs play and energy levels. She is very respectful and well socialized. We have a safe neighborhood we love to take the dogs on walks around two or three times a day, or we go on a field trip to clifford park or the beaches in our area.
“Second time Lena has taken care of our kitties and we are really pleased. Kitties love her, and it’s great knowing they somebody is checking them daily. Have already booked Lena for when we are away next.”
“Richard was wonderful with my shy cat Sophie. I was worried she would hide during the drop in visits, but it wasn't long before Richard won her over. He sent photos, was communicative, and flexible with times. I would definitely recommend him, and look forward to using his services in the future.”
“Jackie was great. She came back for an extra visit to be sure our pup had another chance to go to the bathroom. We'll definitely ask for her help next time we have to leave our pup at home.”
“Tasia and Josh are a great pet sitting team. They communicated well and took great care of Gunnar when I was off for the day. I appreciate their experience and ease around dogs - Gunnar took to them immediately. I feel as though he's in good hands with them!”
“Cheyanne took great care of our cat. She came to the house to meet with me and go over everything before I went away. While I was gone she left a note each day explaining what was done during her visit. I would recommend her to others and definitely plan on asked her to care for our cat next time I travel.”
About: Cats tell stories with their slow blinks and graceful steps, and I’ve spent years learning their subtle cues. Whether it’s coaxing a shy feline out with gentle patience, playing with feather wands just right, or offering calm company to purr-seekers, I understand that cat care requires as much attentiveness as dog care — just spoken in a softer voice. From administering meds with ease to creating spaces where even nervous cats feel brave enough to explore, I ensure that every whisker-twitch and soft purr is met with understanding, play, and respect.
“Jennifer was great with my kitties as always, and was so communicative & helpful when my plans were adjusted because of a snowstorm! Knowing she was there for the cats was a big relief & let me focus on the travel-related stress without worrying about them :)”
“Breanna was incredibly detail oriented and excellent at communicating. Looking for someone to watch my cat with a chronic condition (CKD) who struggles to eat and requires multiple medications was very stressful for me. Breanna took down notes and asked follow up questions for my kitty’s care. I felt so relieved to leave my kitty with someone I knew could provide thoughtful care. She eased all my anxiety around leaving my medically complex cat with great updates and photos. I absolutely will book with Breanna again! She has given me a new confidence when planning adventures that require me to be away from my kitty.”
“We had Matt do a couple drop-ins over NYE for our dog Ruby, everything went smoothly. We were provided updates and he was very attentive of Ruby's needs. During the meet and greet you could tell he was comfortable with dogs and Ruby liked him. Would recommend.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Durham
“Chelsea took such great care of our pup. We reached out to her last minute and she was available and eager to help us with our dog. If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely reach out to her. Thanks again, Chelsea!!”
“Robin is so great! I’m thankful to have found her and Stella (her pup)! My 3-month old puppy was able to be cared for while I was away. Robin was super communicative and easy going.”
“Thank you for taking care of Ramsay! Jaclyn took great care of Ramsay and was so communicative with us about how he was doing. She took beautiful photos of him too! Clearly loves animals. Anytime we are in the area we will book with you!”
“We are so grateful we found Craig to dog sit for our puppy Enzo. Enzo is a highly energetic dog who takes some time to warm up to strangers, however, he took no time to adjust to Craig. Craig kept us updated through out the day with pictures and videos. We could tell right away that Enzo was having an awesome time. When we picked up Enzo he was tired (from all the fun he had with Penny) and overall just calm and happy. We highly recommend Craig for doggy care!”

About: I have been walking and caring for pets for 2 years now, and it has been an awesome experience. I have been around pets my entire life and have always wanted a career that allowed me to meet and take care of different types of animals. I am reliable and honest which are important qualities when leaving your pet with someone. I will care for each pet like they are my own and will do whatever the owner needs to feel comfortable leaving there pet with me! I am 35 years old, live in Lewiston, ME. In addition to walking and caring for pets for the past 2 years, I have owned two different dogs over the past 15 years which further stamped my interest in developing a career involving animals! I work across the street from my home and can routinely go back and forth to make sure there is consistent care for all pets My home has access to side streets that allow for consistent walks. We are also located near parks which I take my own dog to on a daily basis
“Natalie watched our 13 week old puppy and she had an amazing day! Great care with the added bonus of so much socialization. Our puppy had a fantastic time and passed out on the ride home. Five stars is not enough!”
About: I have had my own dogs and cats since I was little! I now live in Lewiston with my two cats, and I often babysit my sisters two dogs. I love all animals big or small, and I’m often the one trying to pet all the neighborhood dogs and cats. I am available everyday as I am done teaching for the summer starting June 11th. I am happy to meet up beforehand for a meet and greet. I want to build a relationship with your pet and I want them to be happy to see me with every visit! I love going on daily walks with a furry friend to keep me company! I am happy to go and animal sit at a client’s house or my own.
About: My entire life has always revolved around animals. As a lifelong equestrian, I’ve grown up taking care of horses and dogs of all shapes and sizes. Previously a barn manager, I’m now a pet & equine photographer. That means when I’m not at a horse show or photoshoot, I’m at my desk at home with my own two senior dogs curled underneath. My years in the horse world and now with senior dogs has taught me how to apply topical medication, give injections and oral meds, and how to recognize and redirect problematic behavior. Living on 15 wooded acres set back from the road means there is plenty of space for pups to run around as well as numerous off leash walking trails should your pup be up for it. Staying with me is like a country retreat for your pet - walks through the forest and sunsets and squirrel watching from the deck. If you're lucky, you might even get some professional photos out of it. As a self-employed pet photographer, I work from home when I’m not at a horse show or photo shoot. This gives me lots of flexibility day to day and during the day. I like to let dogs approach me as they feel comfortable and understand that dogs are capable of a wide range of personalities. My number one priority is that everyone feels safe and has their needs met. In my home, well behaved and responsive dogs may be allowed off-leash outside as we have plenty of space far from the nearest road. Dogs that can’t be trusted off leash will enjoy wooded walks around the property or nearby dog-friendly trails.
About: I've had cats my whole life.. they make life better and it's a big responsibility as well. I have taken many older cats in from the shelter and they had great lives with us. Would love to babysit your kitty or dog. I have 3 cats in my home and I've had many kittens and elderly cats. We have a catio and many toys to entertain your kitty. Catio, toys, food and love! I can give meds as needed as well, or special foods. I can also go to your home for visits.
“This was our first experience with doggie daycare and we couldn't have been more pleased. Christina kept us very well informed throughout the day. I would recommend her highly.”
“I couldn’t recommend Stacy more. She took good care of Olive and I felt confident leaving her for the day. Olive was well exercised and she enjoyed making new friends with Stacy’s dogs. I will definitely come back!!”
“Audrey watched our 3 month old puppy for the day and was absolutely wonderful! She sent us pictures and videos to show us how much fun he was having! He came home so happy and exhausted from all his playtime!! I would definitely recommend Audrey to anyone looking for a loving pet sitter in a safe home environment!”
“Absolutely wonderful pet sitter. Marna was calm and patient with our little chihuahua, Miika. Miika was happy and relaxed when she was picked up. I highly recommend Marna and will definitely be using her services again.”
About: I'm offering to care for dogs overnight in my home. I have walked and sat for dogs since 1991. I am a "dog whisperer" and have never met a dog that I did not like. I have a 7 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who gets along with all dogs. I love to take dogs on long walks through the woods nearby. My dog, Tessa is on a raw diet, but I can feed your dog whatever you like.

“My dog is very anxious and would refuse to walk with anyone but me, and after I hurt my ankle I was so worried he wouldn’t get the exercise he needed. Kasch’s patience, kindness and skill quickly charmed my dog and now he runs and greets Kasch at the door. I am so grateful!”
“Kourtney did an excellent job walking and feeding our two dogs. She also sent us great pictures and videos which were a blast to watch. Great communication and responsiveness. Highly recommend!”

I will feed, ensure they have fresh, clean water, and maintain litter boxes if feline.

“Jackie was awesome! Skye is a very unique dog - super protective of his family and his property. To have Jackie able to walk into the house on her own, put a collar on him and walk him was great. Hope to use her again!”

As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve always had dogs and cats, often multiple at a time.

This will ensure all the pets are safe and comfortable. Your pet would be with me in our downstairs area with plenty of room to play inside and outside.
“Craig is absolutely fabulous. He sent great photos and detailed notes about each walk. I have such a great feeling of calm knowing he’s taking care of Waylon.”
About: Experienced dog owner with 3 dogs. Two dogs are reactive/timid, one of which has allergies and pancreatic issues so I am familiar with pilling and dogs with special needs. I am currently a full time law student looking for something with a flexible schedule. I have availability in the morning, late afternoon, and evening as well as weekends. I think it’s important to be attentive to your animals needs, and also make sure to follow the rules of the house. Please let me know if you have any specific dos or donts for your pet!

About: Greetings! I'm Daniel, I've been pet-sitting and dog-walking off and on for 17 years. I love animals: With me, you get a new friend for your pets, and a dependable steward of your home. I believe in the Hawaiian meaning of "Kahu," that we should be guardians and beloved attendants of our animal friends. I devote highly sensitive heart-centered care for your pets for two main reasons: 1) I am a remote worker as a writer and healing coach, so I can be at home with our furry friends. I am not just feeding and walking your dog(s) and caring for your cats; I am providing emotional support and plenty of care (frequent outdoor breaks and walks, playtime, pats, massage, energy work, etc.). 2) I am a professional in the practice of meditation and the healing arts, a path that cultivates empathy, which helps me bond with animals and be more attuned to their needs. I have been on this path for 17 years. I am highly intuitive. I practice Eastern techniques of energy work (qi qong and martial arts) and I am a certified Reiki practitioner, so I love to connect with animals as part of that practice (they are great conductors of energy, which is only ever healing and calming for them to experience). I aspire to the highest level of performance and etiquette. I promise to treat your pets and space as sacred; to maintain a clear boundary between me and your possessions; and to leave no trace. I understand that by inviting me into your home to care for your pets and space that I am with you as a new friend. From my many years of cultivation on my spiritual, healing, and professional path, I assure you my integrity is outstanding, and I would be happy to send you testimonies and references to confirm. Thank you for your trust. I would be happy to chat about sitting or walking for you. I look forward to joining you and yours' in friendship. Warm regards, Daniel I will be available to be at home with your pet for most of every day that I am sitting. My only obligation that takes me out of house are walking other dogs (1 to 3 hours per day) and then the occasional social or other engagement. I will never leave your pet alone for longer than 5 hours. As a remote worker, both for writing and offering healing/coaching services, I work from home and am therefore able to maintain a comforting presence for your pet and provide frequent outdoor time, play, and other care. I recognize the great trust that people grant me in caring for their homes and pets. Integrity is a guiding value of my life: You can rest assured that I will honor my commitment to care for your space and pets with the utmost attention and respect. I'll honor your instructions for being in your house and caring for your pets. I always live lightly, use no more than I need and am permitted to use, and I leave no trace. Thank you for your trust. Daniel
About: My love for animals, especially dogs and cats, is so apparent that I have requests for taking care of friends animals very often. I truly enjoy loving on animals and just being playful with them. I'll happily open my heart to your pets and appreciate the time I have with them. I'm a single, homeschooling mom, doing my best while my son is in programs a few days a week. But we can also be very flexible with our schedule. I will do my best to make your furry loves as comfortable as possible while you are away for the day or for many days.

“Natalie was lovely! She kept my high energy cattle dog happy, busy, and healthy (which is quite an accomplishment for my pup). She was awesome with sending pictures and updates. I would have her watch my dingo again in a heartbeat. 100% recommend.”
“Christina was absolutely fabulous. We usually take long trips once a year, which is difficult to plan without having someone trustworthy to leave our Lucky. He is a friendly and easy-going dog, but has experienced anxiety before, which usually affects his digestive system. But the care he received from Christina and the fun he had with other dog pals for almost three weeks was more than perfect. We are so grateful, and he'll definitely be back.”
“Chelsea was absolutely wonderful with our senior dog. Chelsea sent updates and pictures and we always knew that Hazel was in the best care while we were on vacation. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Christina did a great job with Crosby. I trusted that he was well cared for and got lots of love and attention. Normally a very stressed out dog, he seemed very relaxed when I picked him up. We'll definitely use her again in the future.”
“Claudia and Jason were an absolute lifesaver. We needed a last minute sitter while visiting Maine and they came through. Drop off was a breeze and I knew Chase was in good hands. Regular updates including photos reassured myself and the kids that Chase was doing well. I can’t thank them enough and I can honestly attest that your dog is in good hands with them. I would absolutely without hesitation use them again if we’re in town.”
“Audrey is amazing. We have 2 dogs and one is older than most, 18. She has a few things that can make watching her a challenge and Audrey went above and beyond. This was my first time doing anything like this and she made the process so easy and when we went on our trip we knew they would be in good hands. She sent pictures and updates with them which was great to get on the summit of a mountain. Most definitely 5 stars for Audrey and would recommend her to all friends and family!! Thank you so much!!”
“Lauren was amazing with my two pups! They got all of their needs met and were very well taken care of, lots of cuddles and good sniffs. I received lots of updates and tons of pictures which is always appreciated. Will use Lauren for my pups again in the future :)”
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Sridevi truly loves animals and treats them like part of her own family. Her home is warm, clean, and perfectly set up for dogs to feel safe and comfortable. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Baxter came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for- honestly I think he had a little vacation of his own. I would absolutely recommend Sri to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“I was initially a bit apprehensive about boarding my energetic Lab puppy for the first time, but Heidi took great care of him and alleviated my concerns. She sent updates and photos each day, and my pup looked happy and socialized, which put me at ease. Bonus: He napped for almost the entire day upon returning home! We will definitely book with her again!”
“This was one of the best Rover.com stays my pup has ever had. Rebecca has a really fun indoor/outdoor setup for pups and she is really wonderful with all kinds of dogs -- even slightly anxious ones like mine. It was great to see the pics she sent -- my pup looked really happy there! Highly recommend Rebecca!”
“Molly and her family took great care of our three pups, especially taking them on plenty of walks. Communication was a breeze and they were flexible about pick-up and drop-off times.”
“I was a bit uneasy at first to use a dog sitting app. 5 minutes on the phone with Matt and I was relieved. We met up a couple days before dropping Brandi off for her first time boarding and Brandi and Matt instantly hit it off and I couldn’t have been happier. Much better than taking a dog to a kennel and one very happy puppy.”
