Evelin was very caring and loving towards both my dogs and not only her but all her family, they treated them like it was their dogs which I loved and amazed how fast my dogs felt like at home with her. She sents pictures and made sure to remind me everything was okay and to enjoy my vacations. I couldn't thank her enough for all she did, I look forward to booking with her again for any overnight boarding in the future! I highly recommend booking your fur baby's stay with Evelin! ❤️”

We will definitely ask Taylor for help again when needed.”

I thought for sure I would have to cancel my trip but Ernesto saved the day. He was more than happy to take care of my husky and pitbull on a holiday at the last minute.

“I couldn't be more pleased with the exceptional care Jesse provided for my pets! From the moment I met her, her kindness, professionalism, and genuine compassion for animals shone through. She took amazing care of my four cats and my dwarf rabbit, ensuring they were loved and well looked after during my vacation. Jesse went above and beyond by also looking after my home. She watered my plants, collected the mail, and made sure to clean up after the kitties, which was such a relief for me. Communication was a breeze; she responded promptly to all my messages and kept me updated with adorable photos of my pets, which really eased my mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Jesse as a pet sitter and will definitely be booking her for all my future pet-sitting needs. She is a true gem!”
About: I love taking care of and playing with animals, and am looking to spend time with your critters, whether dog, cat, bird, or beast. I grew up on a farm around chickens, horses, dogs, and pigs, and I've always had a connection with animals and find their presence comforting. I can come and check in on your loved ones and feed them and play with them. I have my own dog whom I love very much and I enjoy showering any and all animals I meet with attention. I'm most experienced with dogs, but I'm a quick learner and enjoy learning how to take care of all animals. I have very little experience administering medications, but am willing to learn, if shown how or given detailed instructions.
About: Hi! My name is Taylor and I am a caring, responsible, and patient pet lover. I have experience caring for a variety of different animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, chickens, and fish. I enjoy spending my time with animals and would love to my spend my time caring for your animals! Please reach out if you have any more questions and I would be glad to answer them. :) I am currently working remotely full time so I would be able to give your animals lots of attention in the mornings and evenings but I will also be able to check on them throughout my work hours. I like to meet with pet parents before staying in their home to learn their routine and how they care for their animals. I like to make a list of all the things pet parents tell me so I can ensure that I provide the best care for their animals.
About: Hi! I grew up with dogs in the household my entire life and know just how much love, attention and activity are important. I’m here to provide for your pet when you need an extra hand. I’m free for over-night house-siting in Chapel Hill on weekdays and weekends. I have my own small young pup who is a sweetheart and comes along with me. When house-siting on Tue, Wed, Thu, I would be home with your pet from 6PM to 8AM. I charge a lower fee those days. Monday and Friday, I can come provide a potty break at noon. On the weekends, I can be home 70-100% of the day, depending on your needs. I think exercise and stimulation are very important! I personally love going on long walks and driving to the park. But every dog’s needs are different. I’m happy to take any care instructions the pet parent requests.
“Kalah did a stellar job with Piper so can be dog aggressive at times. This was our first time with anyone helping us out. She made it such a breeze. Even helped with her special diet. The pictures were so reassuring. Will be calling on her again!!”
“Amber was so friendly and timely, and provided tons of photos and videos while I was gone! She handled a mishap with my building locks very professionally and I’m looking forward to having her watch my cat again!”
About: I have had cats in the home since I was about 6 years old, I am now 23 and still have a 17 year old, an 8 year old, and a 1 year old. I have had the experience of raising kittens from kittenhood until their golden years. Besides my own pets, I have rescued and taken care of multiple stray cats as well. Most notably would be two years ago when I rescued two kittens from my local park. I spent countless hours with them before catching them and getting them to the vet for all of their shots and fixing. Afterwards, they lived at my home where I would spend hours sitting with them, trying to get two feral boys to be friendly so they could be rehomed. Currently, they are living with a loving home that provides frequent updates and they even sleep in the bed with her! Cats specifically can require patience and a kind hand, which I am more than happy to provide. Cats set their boundaries and I respect them while keeping an eye on them. I have worked with kittens all the way to 17 year old and counting seniors, I have full confidence that I would make a great sitter for your cat!

“We are so grateful to Evelin for taking care of our sweet Bichon, Lily, while we attended a family funeral. It was such a comfort to know that Lily was in loving, capable hands during such a difficult time. Evelin went above and beyond to make sure Lily was happy and comfortable, sending us updates that gave us peace of mind. Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. Thank you, Evelin, for being there for us and for treating Lily like one of your own. We couldn’t have asked for better care.”

I have a little Maltipoo and a Great Pyrenees. I am always home so your dog is always cared for. We have a large home and a fenced in backyard.

“Ernesto and his family were great with our pup. He came home so tired and it was most certainly because he had a great day of playing during his stay . I appreciate the communication and pictures as well. Drop off and pick up was smooth and easy. We will definitely be bringing Waylon back to visit Ernesto !!”
About: My family always had dogs growing up, including heelers, chihuahuas and Shi tzu’s! I now have 2 of my own, a 1 year old pitty mix named Charlie and a 5 month old golden named Marley. I make my own schedule so I have plenty of time for all pet related task! I often dog sit and do drop in visits for family and friends. I’m currently working part time, making my own schedule so I have lots of free time. Most of my day revolves around caring for my own dogs. They’re up early for breakfast, from there they enjoy walks and playing in the dog park. My 1 year old pitty mix Charlie LOVES naps after playing, so we do have a good bit of down time throughout the day. While I do not have a fenced in yard, my apartment complex offers a 24/7 dog park that my dogs enjoy. I also have a large crate if that’s something that you would like for your pet. My girls enjoy a day filled with treats, walks, toys and play time.
“Angela did a wonderful job looking after my very anxious, older dog - and sent me pics showing her settled in and calm on a day when I was quite concerned about her. I have already booked a 7 day boarding with her in June.”
“Nicole was awesome! I needed doggie day care last minute,and she was available, it was such a wonderful experience! She was so flexible and my puppy loved her. He didn’t wanna leave! I will most definitely be using her again! She kept me up to date with pictures and everything I can’t thank you enough!!”
“Lucia is fantastic. She kept my young energetic dog and my old sensitive nervous couch potato! When I picked them up they were both happy and content. I received frequent photos and texts throughout the day along with an end of day report. Will definitely return and also use for overnight boarding.”
“This was my dog’s first time staying with anyone other than family that is around him oftern! He had a great time! Maria was great at communicating and made sure i was updated regularly! I had a little separation anxiety but the open communication was definitely helpful and helped ease my anxiety. I would recommend Maria, she cared for my fur baby like one of her own. He had a great time and would recommend her as a sitter!”

Doors will be kept shut at all times to avoid your pet escaping and getting into any trouble. If I am house/pet sitting in your home, all rules, regulations, and procedures will be adhered to at 100% accuracy.
“Elise was the perfect sitter for my high energy Malinois! Her dog and mine got along great and even got to go to the dog park together. She was very accommodating to my last minute request and early drop off/late pickup (0600-1700). Even after my dog had an accident due to starting her heat cycle (which Elise notified me of) she was still very friendly and helpful with updates and Barleys well being. At the end of the day my dog was exhausted by the time I picked her up and ready to sleep! I highly recommend Elise and would definitely trust her again!”
“We had a great day! Whitney was awesome. She let me run & play with her dogs. She took me for walks. She even let me sit on her lap..., not that I gave her much choice! LOL. Mom said I could come back anytime. I sure hope it's soon!! --- Bronwyn, Rottweiler dog”
“Haley has been wonderful with my boy Albie. He loves going there. Even after just one visit he got so excited the next time, he tried to jump out of the car before i could get the door open! She sends pictures and keeps me updated on how he is doing. So glad that we were able to find you! Looking forward to future visits!”
“Ashley took care of our Dobby in the most amazing way we could ever imagine. She understood what’s need for the pup beforehand , and was very informed. She kept us informed on how he is doing without even us having to ask for it. She even helped us to load and unload Dobby’s things in the car. She was amazing! I highly highly recommended her and I am so confident that she would take care of any dog like her own as she loves doing it.”
About: I have loved and taken care of animals my entire life! We live on a beautiful farm with premium, safe, fenced-in yard spaces for dogs to have individual or group play. There are also clean and safe stalls for them to have their own individual or combined enclosed spaces! I have been a stay at home mother for the past 17 years, and now have more time to take care of other people‘s pets when they need a loving environment to bring them to! I look forward to helping others in their time of need, to also feel safe, leaving their beloved pet with someone who will take care of them like their own. This is an exclusive outdoor daycare and boarding facility. We have four very large horse stalls that provide plenty of room for an individual, or multiple pets. If a stall is to be used, it can be theirs any time of day or night, the owner may decide what schedule they want their pet to have.
About: I have raised or taken care of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, sheep, cows, chickens, etc. You name it, if it was on a farm, I've helped to take care of it since I was a wee lass. I have a special place in my heart for senior kitties and doggos. We had a dog with Addison's Disease, so I am well versed in administering medicine orally, as well as subcutaneously. Our bearded dragon recently passed away, but she lived 9 years, which is decent in bearded dragon life! I do enjoy beardies and reptiles in general. I'm a stay-at-home-mom (prior teacher, but we have a bunch of little kids), and I'm always in town running errands and doing school drop-offs. I'm looking for exercise, and I love animals, so it seems like a beautiful fit. I started off with house sitting on my profile, but I took it off because I cannot to commit to sitting with them all day long because it takes a lot from my family. I can, however, spend hours with them at a time, and spend the night, but can't stay the whole time. Feel free to send me a message about house-sitting if that's what you need, and we can discuss. I know not to overfeed an animal; understand that exercise keeps them out of trouble; can easily crate your dog, and keep everyone fed, watered, and loved while you're away. I take pride in the fact that I am a quality person with high morals. I am too old for any hoodrat ish, and if you leave a vacuum and/or cleaning supplies out for me, I will use them for you. I am here for people and families, but I do prefer animals LOL

About: I grew up on a family farm in Mamers, NC, where caring for animals has always been second nature. After moving back to the area from college, I now work from home, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care and a flexible schedule for the pets I watch. Before leaving for college, I pet sat for local families through Facebook and built lasting relationships with many of my clients. For one family in particular, I provided in-home care and became their trusted “dog nanny” for over three years. From daily visits and walks to overnight stays and personalized routines, I understand how important consistency and trust are when caring for someone’s furry family member. I visit my family farm daily to help maintain the property, giving dogs in my care the opportunity for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and plenty of enrichment. Whether your pet enjoys adventures or prefers cuddles and quiet time, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. 🤍🐾🌾 Pet care is seamlessly built into my daily routine. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I also visit my family farm daily, so dogs in my care can enjoy supervised outdoor time and extra exercise. Because I’m home most of the day, pets are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family, with lots of love, structure, and companionship. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly condo community with access to a dog park, where I often take my own Doberman for supervised play and exercise. I enjoy starting the day with morning walks and make sure pets have plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, enrichment, and attention throughout the day. I follow each pet’s routine closely and always prioritize their safety, whether that means leashed walks, supervised outdoor time at my family farm, or a cozy, calm environment indoors. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and right at home while their family is away.
