Marilyn was amazing to work with. She was very thorough and prepared at our initial visit, making sure she had all the right info (including the stuff I hadn't thought of) to take care of our dog. She provided multiple updates each day with plenty of photos. Our dog loved her big yard and all the other friends he got to meet during his stay. It's obvious that she and her family love dogs and treat them like family during their visit. We would gladly book again with her!

I can’t recommend David enough! I have a very high-energy, very high-strung rescue dog who is my whole world, and David takes SUCH amazing care of her when I have to leave town. He also sends lots of updates and photos of her, so I always rest easy knowing that she’s doing great! He has a beautiful set-up that provides the perfect setting for dogs to run around and play, but also prioritizes safety and makes sure everyone is getting breaks from the heat, lots of water, etc. A million stars 🌟

About: Hey hey dog pawmily! I’m Hadassah! I’ve honestly been caring for animals since I was a child and have experience with a wide variety of pets, including multiple dogs, four cats, a bunny, fish, and three parakeets. Caring for so many different animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and truly how to meet each pet’s unique needs. I have and solely take care of my one dog, Diogee, who is a 3 year old Maltese-Shitzu mix and would enjoy to meet new friends. Having my dog, Diogee, by my side throughout my transition as a transfer, rising senior at UNC chapel hill has shown me just how important pets are to our lives. Hopefully your dog will either have the opportunity to meet/walk/play with me (yay!) or stay in my safe HOA home located in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with great walking areas and a new dog park currently being built nearby. I, Hadassah, can assure you that when your dog is cared for by me, they’ll be treated with the same care and patience that I give my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I care for my own dog, Diogee, every day. 🐶 I'm available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and boarding depending on availability. In my home, pets will receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh cool water, meals according to their schedule, and a safe, pet-friendly environment. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routine.

It was clear from the start that she truly cares about animals. As a bonus, she even gave me some great recommendations for new food.

Dan was an incredible resource for a last-minute request to keep our old girl comfortable during a house party. As the guest list grew, we knew she’d be overwhelmed, so we reached out to Dan. Dan hosted her and from the pictures he sent, she made herself comfortable at his place. It was such a relief to not worry about a party guest leaving a door open; she was safe and relaxed with Dan. What also speaks to his level of care is that when Coco came back home, she had zero anxieties or stress. It was as though she was grateful for having an afternoon to herself.

About: Hi! My legal name is Diana, but I prefer to go by Joey. Growing up, my parents were allergic to cats, so I didn't get to have one of my own until recently. But that didn't stop me from being absolutely obsessed with them, seeking them out whenever I could. I started pet-sitting in middle school and volunteered with the SPCA as a cat matchmaker for several years. Most recently, I worked with Pet Butler and received over twenty 5-star reviews with them. I'm known for being quiet and calm, and respecting an animal's boundaries is important to me, so more finicky or skittish cats tend to do well with me.

Kim was absolutely amazing with our two senior cats! She followed their feeding routine perfectly, sent the cutest daily pics and updates, and kept us so informed and at ease the whole time. One of our cats warmed up to her right away, and the other one is a certified weirdo with strangers who actually chose to be around her instead of hiding under the bed (for our weirdo, that's basically a five star review). We will definitely be booking Kim again and highly recommend her to anyone who wants their furry babies in wonderful hands.

Bell was AWESOME!!! Not only is she a great sitter, but she's a fantastic person, as well. We hired her to look after our senior cat Mina whilst we were out of town and Miss Bell by far exceeded our expectations. She showed up every day at the agreed time, was always considerate of the house and of Mina's needs, cleaned the litter box everyday, gave her playtime and treats, and more. We watched from a camera some days and she was very kind, despite our cat being a grumpy old lady. I feel much better about hiring pet sitters now and will definitely request Miss Bell again next time. Thanks, Bell - you rock!

About: **PLEASE RESPOND IN TIMELY MANNER AFTER RECEIVE REPLY TO REQUEST. GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. 🙏🏾** I've taken care of family and friends' dogs since 2010, starting in Charlotte, NC. Longest I've kept one dog is for 2 weeks. I love taking care of dogs as if they were my own. Currently live in Durham, NC in my childhood home. I work from home, so I'm the perfect sitter that can entertain your dog while you're at work, away on vacay/trip, or just need some me time. I am a patient person and do have experience training a couple of dogs from not fearing their crate, knowing boundaries within house, and cease whining. I work from home Monday-Friday from 8-4:30 pm. I occasionally have appts and other events on the weekends, including attending church worship service. I'm at home the majority of the time. I have a pretty open concept in my house, but I close off doors to bedrooms and bathroom. I sometimes close off my hallway to keep in a secluded place in case of visitors or go to sleep at night. I take dogs out on leash, I currently do not have a fenced yard. I spend quality time with them and engage often and show plenty of love.

Mocha had such a great experience today! Cathryn was kind and made sure mocha felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and the genuine love shown toward her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. I would definitely book again and highly recommend her services.

About: Have had at least 1 pet for over 25 years. Wife and I are recent empty nesters that went from having 4 cats and 2 dogs to a Lab and 1 cat when the last of our 4 kids moved out. We love all animals and will treat them like our own. I am a public school teacher, so I am fortunate enough to have summers off. So my availability is very open even a short notice. We have a dog park for them to play at our place. Our Labrador Bailey will be put in crate until they get acquainted if needed. Bailey is friendly as can be, however I know animals can get nervous in new environments. If coming to your residence I will request and do’s or dont’s to ensure your animal is taken care of up to your expectations and above. I am a public school teacher, so I am fortunate enough to have summers off. So my availability is very open even a short notice. Love all animals and will freaky all animals as if they are my own. We would be honored to treat your animal to a nice vacation as you enjoy yours. My wife and I are retired and have a very flexible schedule. We are happy to accommodate any requests or special needs you may have. We cater to each individual animals personality. We try to maintain and provide care as close to wider the animal is used to in a daily basis in order to minimize any stress.

About: Hello, my senior dog of 14 years passed away recently, so I am looking to get my pup fix in while also helping you out! You can expect an attentive, caring and fun foster environment when your pet stays with me. I am an active individual who works from home and doesnt mind stepping out of the house 3 to 4 times a day to exercise and play with your pets! I currently live a block away from Duke's east campus, so your pup will have access to beautiful walks around the East Campus loop, the Trinity Park neighborhood, and the Eno River state park, if they are up for it! 🤠 I also have plenty of dog toys, dog beds, and a kennel if your dog is crate trained and prefers to sleep in a crate! I currently work from home, so your pet will have unlimited access to myself and my apartment while we stay together! As mentioned above, I love being active with pets, so whatever your animals outdoor needs are, Im sure that I can fill them! I have easy access to Duke's East Campus loop, the Trinity Park Neighborhood, and the Eno River state park for all play and exercise needs. I am a physically active person, and would love to take your pet out as much as they desire! I do have a kennel available for dogs who prefer to be crated, and if not, I have free roam dog beds, couches and human beds available for all pets who enjoy them!

About: For as long as I can remember, I've had dogs and cats, and they've taught me so much about love, loyalty, and responsibility. Caring for them has always been an important part of my life; I enjoy spending time with them, understanding their needs, and giving them the love they deserve. I've learned to handle everything from playful puppies to senior pets who need more patience and attention. To me, every animal is part of the family, and I always care for them with the same love I would give my own. 🐾 Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine, as I have ample free time and am fully available to dedicate attention, love, and energy to animals. I can easily adapt to different schedules and needs, allowing me to offer consistent, responsible, and dedicated care. I enjoy spending time with pets, taking them for walks, feeding them, and ensuring their happiness and safety at all times. A perfect place for your pet 🏡🐾 I live in a spacious two-story house with a basement where pets can play and rest in complete comfort. It's a quiet, safe space, free from annoying noises, ideal for them to feel right at home. Plus, there's a park nearby where I can take them for walks, runs, and to enjoy the fresh air. Here, your pet will have space, fun, and lots of love every day. ❤️

About: I grew up with two bigger dogs (German Shepard and chow/golden mix) and always had responsibility with taking care of them. Although I do not have any dogs of my own at the moment, I am always the first to watch my family and friends dogs such as Bernese mountain dog, doodles, Bassett Hound, and German Sheppards! In the last two years, I have been a recurring sitter for a doodle, chow, chocolate lab, and other breeds. All dogs were through friends, referrals, and people in our building so not many reviews on here but I am sure I can send their numbers if referrals are needed. I just moved to Durham but looking to help dog sit here and hope can find some new favorite dogs to sit:) I work hybrid, so I can schedule any meetings around bathroom/dog park breaks. I have experience taking dogs on multiple 2+ mile walks a day if needed. We have a couch cover, so happy for dogs to cuddle up on the couch! We have a fenced in back yard so can play together outside! Happy to have the dog sleep in the bedroom but prefer them off the bed if possible!

About: I've taken care of animals since I was 7 years old. What sets me apart is the genuine care I give to every pet. I focus on personalized attention, clear communication with owners, and creating a calm, loving environment so pets feel safe and happy while you're away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I schedule my day around visits, walks, feeding times, and play so each pet gets reliable care and attention. I treat every pet like family. I follow their usual routine for meals, walks, and playtime so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I also provide lots of attention, love, supervision and updates so both pets and owners feel safe and at ease.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always felt a strong connection to them. I’m currently a graduate student in Animal Science, which has deepened my understanding of animal behavior, health, and care. I’ve cared for my own dogs and cats for years and have experience working with cattle, sheep, horses, reptiles, and mice. I’ve also volunteered with animal rescues, fostering and helping animals feel safe and ready for adoption. My experience working on a dairy farm and being closely connected to farm environments through my family’s ranch has given me hands-on experience caring for many species beyond just dogs and cats. I’m comfortable in a wide range of situations, from energetic puppies to shy pets that need extra patience. I follow routines closely, can give medications, and pay attention to small changes in behavior to help keep pets safe and healthy. I also enjoy playtime and can reinforce basic training when it’s part of their routine. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet and your home in someone else’s care. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I treat every pet as what they are—family—and believe they deserve care, respect, and attention. I’m currently a graduate student, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate consistent time to pet care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and can adjust my routine to match your pet’s needs. Please feel free to reach out to discuss availability. I’m happy to work with your schedule. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel cared for and at ease. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, from feeding and walks to playtime and rest, so nothing feels disrupted. I pay attention to their behavior and needs, including medications if needed. I treat your home with respect and provide regular updates so you can feel confident everything is going well.

About: Hi All, My name is Alessandria but I prefer to be called Alekx and no the K is not a typo. My hair color is subject to change but it's just dyed hair braided into my natural hair. I have been caring for animals professionally since 2006, until 2013 where I took a leap in a different field of work. I use to move all over the country but I am home and hoping to start pet sitting as my main job. I have a guinea pig by the named Tikka Teacake and she is a little siren but she is my 3rd guinea pig. I am a non-smoker and prefer days curled up with fluffy creatures and a good book. In regards to my experience I have worked at pets resorts such as Sunny Acres where I had a few loyal dogs that I dearly miss. I have owned large dog breeds my whole life and grew up with pure breed Rottweilers, German Shepherd mixes, and my current lovely mutt. I have been doing home pet sitting for over a decade. I usually spend most the day when I am at home entertaining my pets or letting them have free run of the backyard with regular check ins. I make sure that their food is good for their stomach, their daily exercise if playing outside with a normal dose of petting and grooming. I recently got off of medical leave so I have started short nightly walks and we work out together to stay happy and healthy. I am a big night owl so I love watching my dogs snore about. A safe home is one your pet recognizes as the pack den. I care for all pets with repetitive training, health care checks, grooming, and dental care as long as they will let me. I love to make a home pet safe by avoiding choking hazards and loose cables. (Mainly because my guinea pig is a little menace). Medications are taken with timers and usually snuck into foods. I like keeping basic training habits are maintained so that the pets do not unlearn anything their humans have taught them.

Bell is reliable, attentive, friendly, and my dog loved her! He is a fearful and sometimes stubborn baby, she was able to get him out for walks on the first visit when it has often taken people multiple times to get to that point. She was very quick and thorough in her responses and put me at ease that my pup would be okay while I was out of town. We will definitely consider her again in the future!

Claire patiently and gently built trust with our recently rescued, young husky, Wheeler, who can be apprehensive with some people. She showed equal patience and skill walking this often stubborn teenager who can slow down a walk by obsessing over acorns and rolling around in grass. Claire is also a great communicator and shared many photos of their walk. She went the mile by setting Wheeler up with his beloved peanut butter kong treat in his kennel as requested. It was a relief to know he was in her care.

I do everything that you will ask me to do. When your baby’s in my care they are always safe.

I take care of a dog and a cat, I take my dog on daily walks twice/three times a day for his potty breaks. They both get fed 2 times a day and 2/47 playtime and love.

I have free afternoons and evenings on weekdays after work, and I’m fully available on weekends. My husband/partner works from home on some days, so your dog will rarely be alone. I truly enjoy having company, and I’m used to walking three times every day with them. Your dog will be free to move around my entire home. At night, I have a designated open space for their bed, food, water and toys that is connected to the living room, so they are always part of the home environment (shown in the attached photos). But if he/she prefers, the living room is also available always 🐾 Just a few steps from my home, there’s a quiet, pet-friendly, low-traffic area that’s perfect for walks, as well as a park just a few streets away. If you’re comfortable with it, we can also take him/her to a nearby trail or park. I enjoy walking and running, and when your dog arrives, we start with a walk to help him/her feel comfortable and get to know each other.

Throughout my time away, she kept me updated on their walks, his feedings, and his overall demeanor, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear that Lorraine genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, her attention, reliability, and warmth stood out in every interaction. I returned to a happy, well cared for dog, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.

Their little baby Pongo is also the cutest!! 100% recommend!! We will definitely be booking again!! Thank you!!

About: Hey hey dog pawmily! I’m Hadassah! I’ve honestly been caring for animals since I was a child and have experience with a wide variety of pets, including multiple dogs, four cats, a bunny, fish, and three parakeets. Caring for so many different animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and truly how to meet each pet’s unique needs. I have and solely take care of my one dog, Diogee, who is a 3 year old Maltese-Shitzu mix and would enjoy to meet new friends. Having my dog, Diogee, by my side throughout my transition as a transfer, rising senior at UNC chapel hill has shown me just how important pets are to our lives. Hopefully your dog will either have the opportunity to meet/walk/play with me (yay!) or stay in my safe HOA home located in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with great walking areas and a new dog park currently being built nearby. I, Hadassah, can assure you that when your dog is cared for by me, they’ll be treated with the same care and patience that I give my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I care for my own dog, Diogee, every day. 🐶 I'm available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and boarding depending on availability. In my home, pets will receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh cool water, meals according to their schedule, and a safe, pet-friendly environment. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routine.

10/10 recommend Emily. She is super responsive, kind, and my dog seemed to genuinely be having a great time in all of the photo updates and videos I received each day I was away.

Our dogs had such a great time with Katrin! She has plenty of outdoor space for them to explore and truly treated them as if they were her own. She even mixed their meals with rice bc they had upset stomachs! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures, and our dogs always looked so happy in the photos. We will definitely book with her again!!

Otis had so much fun on his stay! He was happy and tired when we picked him up and has a new best bud in Lani. Erin was so kind and caring. We would definitely recommend and plan to use again!

Dan was an incredible resource for a last-minute request to keep our old girl comfortable during a house party. As the guest list grew, we knew she’d be overwhelmed, so we reached out to Dan. Dan hosted her and from the pictures he sent, she made herself comfortable at his place. It was such a relief to not worry about a party guest leaving a door open; she was safe and relaxed with Dan. What also speaks to his level of care is that when Coco came back home, she had zero anxieties or stress. It was as though she was grateful for having an afternoon to herself.

Thank you for taking care of our sweet Finn! We appreciate your willingness to work with a puppy who is still being trained, and giving him all the love and snuggles!

Krystene and her family were great! They took such great care of our dog while we were away. I got regular updates and photos. I would absolutely book with Krystene again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!

Kate had an important work activity in the middle of Kai's stay with her and it was a bit of a challenge finding another sitter at such short time. She was willing to cancel her work commitment if we were not able to find Kai a sitter but luckily everything was sorted out at the last minute. Thank you Kate for your commitment.

Jade was the perfect dog sitter for my chihuahua. She sent many cute photos and frequent updates. Jade was very flexible and an excellent communicator. I would book her again and would recommend her to friends!
