“Vanessa was very accommodating with our ever changing drop off and pick up times. We will definitely ask Vanessa to care for our senior dog Millie the next time we're in the Durham area.”
“Crystal is professional, friendly and responsive. My dog Stella took an immediate liking to Crystal’s home. I felt confident that Crystal would take good care of her. I would definitely use Crystal’s services again!”
“I had to board my Zita very last second (not even minute) for a full day sitting (9.00-19.00) and Agus was extremely nice and flexible to accommodate my needs. He took really good care of Zita and she loved playing with Harry Potter (he is such a sweet boy!). I would definitely recommend him and board Zita again!”
“Rashi was so caring of my pup and she did so much to make him comfortable. She is a wonderful dog lover and always kept me up to date with lots of pictures and messages throughout his stay.”
“Rhett and Sadie stayed a weekend here for the second time and they loved it! Just like last time, we picked them up and could tell they were happy and relaxed and right at home! The sitters are great communicators and we highly recommend them to anyone!”
“Emily and William did a wonderful job caring for Bill while we were away! They sent lots of updates, kept him active, and made sure he felt comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Mabel had an extended stay with Gregg while I was out of the country and she was in great hands. She is a high energy 2-year old Golden and I really wanted to find a sitter that I felt could provide the best stay for her. Gregg met up with me prior to allow Mabel to meet his own dog and explore the property. He sent daily updates via the app/over txt that included photos and she appeared to be having a great time, with plenty exposure to other dogs and the full range of activities on the property. 10/10 recommended trusting Gregg for boarding, and I will be coming back if and when I head out of town in the future.”
“Cathy was awesome, and our dog had a blast staying with her. She made sure our dog felt comfortable, ate well, and played every day. I would definitely choose her again.”
“Can’t recommend Ashley enough! This was our first time using Rover while my wife sat for the bar exam, so it was a stressful time, but we never worried about our two dogs who stayed with Ashley. It gave us so much peace of mind! Our dogs had a tough time adjusting to being in a new space and Ashley was incredibly understanding, flexible, and compassionate. She also sent a bunch of pictures, which was great! Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Ashleigh and Jason were amazing! My sweet Izzy was taken into their home like a member of their own family. It was her first stay with them and they made me feel at ease providing updates and sending pictures regularly. When I picked her up I could tell immediately that she was happy and so well loved and taken care of while I was away. Highly recommend Ashleigh and Jason, Izzy will be back with them in July for our next vacation!”
“Heather kept our dog, Iggy, for two weeks while we were away on vacation. We received several updates with videos throughout the stay. Iggy cane home very happy and I’m sure she got plenty of love attention in a relaxing home environment. One thing we appreciated about Heather’s service is that she only kept our dog. While Iggy is very social, I felt more confident knowing there weren't many dogs in and out throughout her stay. Thank you, Heather!”
“I recently moved to NC and needed to find boarding for my dachshund, and I’m so grateful I found Ashley! From our very first conversation through the meet-and-greet and then the big event — his two-night stay — she truly went above and beyond. I felt completely at ease leaving Barkley with her. Her genuine love and care for animals is apparent, and she treated him like one of her own. She sent regular updates and photos, which made being away from him so much easier. I will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate care for their pup!”
“Cheri, Did a great job with Finn with a very last minute booking as the other pet sitter cancelled at the last minute because of medical issues. Finn came home very happy and Cheri kept me updated with pictures and information about Finn. I would use them again. Thanks, Cherie and family”
“Yaryna provided excellent and loving care for my dog! My dog is older and requires a bit of special care, but Yaryna handled all of his needs willingly and capably. Yaryna went above and beyond in communicating how he was doing and sharing pictures. I am sure that he was in the best of hands, and I am so grateful for the high level of care that she provided.”
“Tim and Jen and their sweet family were amazing to my fur baby. He loved all the special attention from the kiddos and received countless pets and snuggles. I returned home to a very happy (and tired lol) boy! Definitely will be booking again and recommend this sweet family!”
“Denise was great! She sent me pictures and updates. I knew that.Kornwallis was well cared for. Her own dog Grover Cleveland was a perfect host. We would definitely recommend Denise and will use her in the future! Kornwallis approve this message!”

“We are new to Rover. After a face-to-face meeting with Gwen, we asked her to house-sit our cat. We are extremely pleased with her service! Our cat has separation anxiety, but showed no signs of it when we returned, thanks to Gwen's attention/ample playtime. Our cat will not drink water from a bowl; it must be mixed in with each of his 4 meals.....not an easy feeding task. We appreciate that Gwen gave our cat the care that he needs. Also, she moved our potted plants into the garage on 'freeze' nights and took care of our home. Gwen was very easy to work. We have already scheduled our next booking with her. Thank you, Gwen!”
“We really appreciated the daily photos of our kitties while we were away! They seem to be very comfortable with their new friend, and we returned to very happy cats and a clean home. Would absolutely book again!”
“Autumn did a fantastic job during her drop-in visits with my cats over the holidays. She was even able to coax out my incredibly shy cat after the second day! With detailed updates and responsive communication, Autumn set my mind at ease knowing the cats were in capable hands. Highly recommend.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who would so excited to meet your furry family members! I have been pet sitting and dog walking since I was ten years old and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I am also a proud dog and cat mom, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for them while you are away. During my undergraduate years at Tulane University, I volunteered at an animal shelter in New Orleans, where I helped walk and care for shelter dogs. I also had the opportunity to work with service animals through my university, which gave me additional experience understanding the importance of patience, consistency, responsibility, and following each animal’s individual needs and routines. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at UNC-Chapel Hill. I’m responsible, dependable, patient, and compassionate, and pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy doing outside of school. Whether your dog needs a good walk and some zoomies, your cat wants some attention (or prefers to pretend I don’t exist!), or your pet simply needs someone to stop by and keep them company, I’m happy to help! 🐾 What I can help with: - Dog walking & exercise -Cat & dog check-ins - Feeding & fresh water -Playtime & cuddles - Cleaning up after pets - Medication assistance when needed 📸 Photos & updates so you know your pet is happy and doing well I’ll always take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and preferences. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend!
“Kai was so wonderful with my cat Meabh. She was on time every day and treated my cat like she was her own. I could enjoy my vacation much more knowing my soul cat was in the best hands.”
About: I absolutely love cats and have been sitting for them for years now! I have cat sat from 1 cat to 10 all at once! From playing with them to even taking them on a walk, I've done it all!

“Ana is quite literally The Best!!! She takes care of our 4 kitties and mini lop bunny as if they were own, making us feel that much more relaxed while on vacation. Her messages and photos keep us from missing our little ones too much when we’re away because we know they’re in such capable and caring hands! She is our go to and should be yours too!! Thank you, Ana!!!”
About: Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my priority. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I know every dog and cat has their own personality and routine, and I’ll take the time to get to know what makes your pet happiest and most comfortable. I worked as a veterinary assistant for around two years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve also pet sat for family and friends over the years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. My veterinary experience gave me the skills to care for animals safely while being attentive to their individual needs, personalities, and comfort levels. I’m currently a graduate student at UNC and would love to spend some of my time outside of school caring for your pets. I’m responsible, dependable, and excited to give your pet the same love and attention I would want for my own! I’m currently a graduate student, so I’m looking to provide pet care around my school schedule, primarily weekends/long weekends. My schedule can vary throughout the week, but I’m happy to coordinate with you to find times that work for both of us! I will care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I’ll follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or other needs. With my previous experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and will always prioritize their safety and well-being.
About: Although I do not have any cats of my own just yet, I have almost ten years of experience caring for the cats of my family, friends, and neighbors. I have taken care of kittens, adult, and senior cats alike. I am also good at handling any specific food or care requests!
About: I have two cats, Simon and Theo, who are both very lovable and very needy. I am responsible for all of their grooming and basic necessities such as litter box cleaning and changing, feeding, play time and comfort. I understand that every cat is different and I am more than willing to learn all about your cat's special needs and unique personality.
About: I've been caring for cats since I was 10 years old. My pet sitting journey actually began with my neighbor's cat, who took an instant liking to me and became my very first client. These days, I share my home with two chaos gremlins of my own, and cats remain one of my greatest passions in life.
“Kelly took excellent care of mybtwobpets while I was out of town for a week. He was a great communicator and sent pictures of the cats when he visited. I'd definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone that needs pet care.”
About: I have had cats of my own for nearly my entire life. I learned at a young age how to read a cat’s body language and understand their needs. For the past 6 years I cared for my elderly childhood cat (he was almost 17!) while he struggled with hyperthyroidism. I prided myself on giving him all of the love and care he needed until his final days. I intend to give your pets the same amount of dedication for the entirety of the time I spend with them. I’ve had experience with young cats, old cats, spicy cats, shy cats, and everything in between. And I love them all!
“She came accepted the 2x/day drop-in 3days in a row within minutes of my request! She was very accommodating! Loved on my puppy! Loved the picture updates and report card of the visit! I will be using her again!”
About: Hi! I’m Whitney — a lifelong animal lover and proud cat mom of two! I’ve been caring for pets since I was young, from helping neighbors with their dogs to fostering kittens and keeping friends’ furry family members happy while they’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just quiet cuddles, I love getting to know each pets personality. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, so I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, affection, and lots of updates for peace of mind. I am responsible, on time, and work hard! After a full day at work, spending time with animals is honestly my favorite way to unwind. My evenings are calm and flexible, which makes it easy for me to focus on walks, playtime, and quality care. Whether it’s stopping by for a quick check-in or giving your pet some extra love after dinner, I always make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I treat every visit like a chance to relax and connect — it’s not just part of my routine, it’s the best part of my day. Your pets will never feel like an afterthought; they’re the highlight of my evenings! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood — especially when their favorite humans are away. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and quirks so I can make them feel completely comfortable. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or calm and cuddly, I’ll match their pace and make sure they get the perfect mix of attention, activity, and rest.

“Amazing experience with Rashi. My Golden was more anxious than anticipated following a long car trip and move, and Rashi and her husband took special care and attention to make her begin to relax during her daytime stay. They kept me updated throughout what was a trying day for us both! I could not have asked for more.”
“Bubba had an amazing time with Adrien and David!! We were worried as first time, dog owners and with her being so young (10 weeks), but they made her first experience at doggy daycare seamless! Could not recommend them more highly!”
“Heather was an amazing host for my puppy, Odin! She sent me pictures throughout the day and got him out for a nice, long walk. My initially hesitant boy even took a minute to notice me when I picked him up, because he had obviously become so comfortable under Heather’s care. Can’t recommend enough!”
“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.”
“This was a last minute book and we couldn’t be more pleased. Sarah was great communicating with me since my schedule changed after booking and Cotde was so well taken care of. We will definitely use them again.”
“Cynthia is really nice, honest, and super confident with dogs. She made it really easy to get started on a good doggy day care schedule and takes amazing care of my dogs.”

“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.”
“Our pup loved Zydae and her 2 dogs. A very balanced and sweet bunch who took our dog Mars in just like one of their own. He was eager to arrive for day care each day. We appreciated the help and the loving touch.”

About: Hi! I'm a full time stay at home mom of two kids and a pet parent of two furry family members, Togo (our beloved dog) and Ninja our cat. Animals are a huge part of our everyday life and I know how important it is to find someone reliable and caring to look after your pet because I want the same level of care for my own. I've always loved animals and caring for them has naturally become part of my everyday life. Along with several years of dog walking and pet sitting experience, I volunteer with local dog shelters where I've successfully completed different training programs in dog behavior, safe handling and basic obedience. I'm comfortable working with dogs of all sizes including rescue dogs who may need extra patience and love. Since I'm home full time your pet gets lots of attention throughout the day, frequently potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles and lots of love. I stick closely to routines, follow your instructions and pay attention to body language so your pet feels safe and comfortable. I love sending photos updates and messages so you can see how things are going while you're away. My goal is simple: give your pet loving, reliable care and treat them like part of our family. I'm currently a stay home mom of two kids (10 and 13) and our two furry best friends Togo and Ninja. I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets and give them the attention they need. I have a big fenced yard and a gentle, funny and loving dog, Togo and our cat Ninja who likes to sleep all day long!
“This was our first booking with Tara for our senior dog. The initial meet-and-greet session went very well, and Tara's sweet little dogs were friendly with ours. Tara's large, fenced yard was a wonderful oasis. Tara's experience is obvious, and she sent us several text updates with pictures that put our minds at ease while we were traveling.”
“Cici loved going to Kelly's! She was wagging her tail and (annoyingly) jumping all over the place for daycare a few days after the meet and greet. She got to play with another dog about her size. Cici was ASLEEP a couple hours after I brought her home. She hardly ever settles on her own! I will definitely be bringing Cici back to Kelly's!”
About: I have taken care of my family's pets for 26 years. I just recently lost my dog and am looking to meet new furry friends and help families in need of pet-setting. I have taken care of many neighbors, friends and families' pets, but would love to spend much more time getting to know your beloved pets. I just retired as a Physical Education teacher and coach after 44 years of service to young people, therefore I am ready to dog walk, pet sit and board your furry family pets. I am home every day and have a lot of free time to spend with your pets! I love to spend time outdoors, so your pet would be extremely happy when the weather is nice. I live in a two story home in a very pet friendly neighborhood. The streets are not busy, making dog-walking very safe and easy. I have almost two acres of land...perfect for running around and playing! I look forward to being with your furry friends full time! I retired as a teacher/coach for 44 years and my husband works from home M-F. We are available to give your pups plenty of attention. I treat every clients pet as if they are my own. I give plenty of belly rubs, let them sit with me on furniture and I have a guest suite with a lower bed that I sleep with pets if they wish. They have run of my home. If a parent wants them to sleep in a bed or crate, I honor that as well. We love having pets since we lost our family pet.
“Shannon did an incredible job taking care of our pup, Theo, for multiple daycare stays. She kept me updated with how he was adjusting + the best pictures/videos, shared homemade treats, and took him on regular walks. I appreciated that she works from home and could quickly tell she’s a natural dog person who just gets it. Not to mention her home is a dog’s paradise with a large fenced in backyard, gated front porch away from a main road, and the sweetest easy-going dogs of her own that welcomed Theo with open paws. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook with Shannon & would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. I truly felt like she treated Theo as her own 🩵”

“Tina took wonderful care of our dog, Dante. She is incredibly attentive and always seemed to be one step ahead of us with thoughtful ideas and suggestions to make sure he was happy and comfortable. After returning from a two-week trip, we noticed something that had never happened before—Dante, who is normally a very anxious dog, was calm, relaxed, and emotionally settled. That alone speaks volumes about the love, patience, and care Tina gave him. Being away from home for such a long time was much easier because we knew Dante was in the best hands. Thank you, Tina, for treating him with so much love, kindness, and responsibility. We are truly grateful and would trust you with Dante again without hesitation.”
“Lauren has been walking my two pups several times a week for the last few months. She’s flexible and communicative about scheduling. After a walk, she always provides a great detailed update that confirms just how observant and caring she is about each of the pups’ quirks and needs. I would absolutely recommend Lauren to anyone who wants to know their furry family members are in great hands, for visit, a walk or a trip!”
“Rylie was a great communicator and was very attentive to my fur baby! She was very understanding of my dogs shy/nervous tendencies and didn’t let it stand in the way of a good afternoon walk! I was very happy with her!”
“Kayvon was a life saver for me and our dogs. He was super kind and took care of my babies on daily walks. I can’t recommend him enough for all your dog walking dog taking care of needs.”

About: Hi, I’m Sierra. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! 🐾 I’m based in Chapel Hill and provide services throughout the Triangle.

I follow each pet’s care routine exactly as instructed. My goal is to maintain their familiar schedule and environment to reduce stress—for both your pet and you—while you’re away.
About: I have two cats and a small dog at home that I bathe, walk, clean up after and cuddle! I currently work at a doggy daycare and boarding kennel. I am passionate about pet care and comfortability and I am committed to brightening your favorite family member's day! No matter the breed, size, age or temperament, every pet deserves the best care. I am currently working part-time and attending classes on Tuesday and Thursday, but I am available for nighttime check ins on those days. I am very patient and understanding, so please just communicate anything you need and I will work with you! I am currently staying in a dorm and am unfortunately unable to board pets. I am able to provide your pet with any kind of care in-home that you need, whether that is administering medicine, puppy care, training practice, basic necessities and, of course, play time! I am also available for house cleaning and general chores as requested.
About: I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, and over the years, friends and neighbors have trusted me with the special care of their beloved pets. For over a year, I worked in a lab-like setting providing daily care to a wide variety of exotic animals, including reptiles, amphibians, small mammals and birds. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning, and general husbandry for each species. I also have experience caring for senior animals, including administering medication and performing nail trims, so I'm comfortable with pets who need a little extra attention and care. I currently work part-time and am finishing up my Associate's degree, which gives me a good amount of flexibility during the week to care for your fur babies. On days I work an 8-hour shift, there may be a slightly longer gap between potty breaks, but I always plan ahead and communicate clearly so you know exactly what to expect. Providing consistent, quality care for your animals is a top priority for me, no matter my schedule. When I care for your pets in their own environment, I bring nothing but comfort and love. I give excellent cuddles and scritches, and genuinely enjoy enriching their day with play. I know when to be calm and reassuring, and when to be playful and energetic, adapting to match each pet's unique personality. Every animal I care for receives quality, individualized attention tailored to exactly what they need. Above all, you can count on me to be reliable and consistent, every single time.

“Vanessa was very accommodating with our ever changing drop off and pick up times. We will definitely ask Vanessa to care for our senior dog Millie the next time we're in the Durham area.”
“I had to board my Zita very last second (not even minute) for a full day sitting (9.00-19.00) and Agus was extremely nice and flexible to accommodate my needs. He took really good care of Zita and she loved playing with Harry Potter (he is such a sweet boy!). I would definitely recommend him and board Zita again!”
“Rashi was so caring of my pup and she did so much to make him comfortable. She is a wonderful dog lover and always kept me up to date with lots of pictures and messages throughout his stay.”
“Rhett and Sadie stayed a weekend here for the second time and they loved it! Just like last time, we picked them up and could tell they were happy and relaxed and right at home! The sitters are great communicators and we highly recommend them to anyone!”
“Very accommodating and understanding with travel delays. Dogs looked healthy and happy. Best part was she provided a complementary dog wash for the boys . Definitely recommend.”
“Emily and William did a wonderful job caring for Bill while we were away! They sent lots of updates, kept him active, and made sure he felt comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Mabel had an extended stay with Gregg while I was out of the country and she was in great hands. She is a high energy 2-year old Golden and I really wanted to find a sitter that I felt could provide the best stay for her. Gregg met up with me prior to allow Mabel to meet his own dog and explore the property. He sent daily updates via the app/over txt that included photos and she appeared to be having a great time, with plenty exposure to other dogs and the full range of activities on the property. 10/10 recommended trusting Gregg for boarding, and I will be coming back if and when I head out of town in the future.”
“Cathy was awesome, and our dog had a blast staying with her. She made sure our dog felt comfortable, ate well, and played every day. I would definitely choose her again.”
“Can’t recommend Ashley enough! This was our first time using Rover while my wife sat for the bar exam, so it was a stressful time, but we never worried about our two dogs who stayed with Ashley. It gave us so much peace of mind! Our dogs had a tough time adjusting to being in a new space and Ashley was incredibly understanding, flexible, and compassionate. She also sent a bunch of pictures, which was great! Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Ashleigh and Jason were amazing! My sweet Izzy was taken into their home like a member of their own family. It was her first stay with them and they made me feel at ease providing updates and sending pictures regularly. When I picked her up I could tell immediately that she was happy and so well loved and taken care of while I was away. Highly recommend Ashleigh and Jason, Izzy will be back with them in July for our next vacation!”
“Heather kept our dog, Iggy, for two weeks while we were away on vacation. We received several updates with videos throughout the stay. Iggy cane home very happy and I’m sure she got plenty of love attention in a relaxing home environment. One thing we appreciated about Heather’s service is that she only kept our dog. While Iggy is very social, I felt more confident knowing there weren't many dogs in and out throughout her stay. Thank you, Heather!”
“Karla was an excellent host for my dog Goose! She was very responsive and provided pictures and videos each day she watched him. She was also very flexible when I unexpectedly had to ask for another day of hosting. Overall very satisfied!”
“Angela was wonderful. The dogs immediately loved her, the space is fantastic, she was responsive and kept me up to date the whole time I was away. Totally recommend.”
“Tim and Jen and their sweet family were amazing to my fur baby. He loved all the special attention from the kiddos and received countless pets and snuggles. I returned home to a very happy (and tired lol) boy! Definitely will be booking again and recommend this sweet family!”
“Denise was great! She sent me pictures and updates. I knew that.Kornwallis was well cared for. Her own dog Grover Cleveland was a perfect host. We would definitely recommend Denise and will use her in the future! Kornwallis approve this message!”
