Personalized care for your dog or cat - Durham

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Durham
“Jason and Brit are so sweet. They treated my Cayenne like their own. And they really seem to know all the personalities of the dogs they care for. Can’t say enough good things about them. We will use them again for sure!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Sharon. She’s an amazingly, caring woman who took exceptional care of Pia, my 14 year-old Shih Tzu in her home. And I encourage anyone else who wants a dog sitter - who takes small dogs, only one at a time, and is genuinely interested & attentive to your fur baby’s needs - book with Sharon. Highly recommend. I already have another trip planned, & Pia will be with Sharon in her lovely ranch home & fenced yard!”

“Thank you Emily for your exceptional care provided for Sprouty. Throughout your time, you consistently went above and beyond our expectations. The extra time you spent getting to know Sprouty's unique personality, quirks, and anxieties truly made a significant impact on Sprouty's well-being. The regular updates and pictures you provided were immensely reassuring and helped us feel connected to Sprouty, while we were away. Would recommend you to our friends and family and would definitely consider next time if we are in the area. Thank you.”

“My pup came home happy and tired!!! Ana was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout the whole process and made sure to send me a picture of my girl every day!! I would absolutely bring her back and recommend Ana to anyone!!!”

“Karma loved her stay and I feel it is her little vacation too. Know she is taken care of and spoiled. Always love seeing the pictures of her enjoying herself and updates daily.”


“Wendy and Daniel were absolutely wonderful. We get nervous leaving our Boston terrier if the person is not familiar with the brachiocephalic breed and they made us so comfortable at the meet and greet! Barney had the best time and can’t wait to book again.”

“Johanny is super sweet and pleasant and I can tell she loves dogs. She sent me updates and pics to let me know how Scout was doing. I will be a return customer for sure!”

“Barbara really went the extra mile to make sure our dogs we’re cared for! She provided multiple updates a day and made sure they had plenty of play time. Definitely would recommend!”

“Kristie was super friendly and took very good care of my dog Snow while we were away for 15 days! She went above and beyond and kept me informed. My dog was super cozy when I went to pick her up. Highly recommend!!!”

“Bobbi took excellent care of our girl! We are very particular with who we let watch her, but Bobbi made us feel at ease right away as it is so clear how much she loves dogs. Both of her dogs are so well behaved and great companions for a visiting dog. We received plenty of pictures and videos showing us that our dog was on a fun vacation of her own! We will absolutely trust Bobbi again if we need a dog sitter!”

“Joan was a great sitter for our baby, Nimer. I loved receiving daily updates on how he was doing as well as pictures and videos. We chose the boarding option, and Nimer had the best time at Joan's house, sleeping on her bed, playing in the cat tunnels, and climbing the cat trees. He also got along so well with her ferrets! Her house is free of any harmful products and is a safe space for just about any pet. Nimer will definitely be coming back when we go on our next trip. Highly recommend!”

“Brittni's home was the absolute perfect place our dog Rolo could have gone for the week! I was so worried because she is an older dog who is set in her ways, but Brittni and family took her in as a part of their family and we are so grateful! I genuinely think it was a vacation for Rolo as well with all of the walks around their beautiful property paired with being spoiled in their home as well! Brittni's kindness and gentle nature was immediately obvious with our dog, who seemed to warm up to her right away. Communication was excellent and everything went smoothly. We highly recommended Brittni to take care of any animal!”

“We were so happy with Bianka! She took such great care of our dog Copper. Copper is older and can be a little anxious but he was right at home with Bianka. We received pictures and texts about Copper while he was there. I would absolutely use Bianka again for our pet sitting needs.”

“Jazmine (and her boyfriend Norman) took wonderful care of our 12-year-old black Lab, Judy, who is a cancer survivor and a bit particular—sweet, but needy and not a fan of other dogs. Jazmine cared for her in her home, made sure she had her morning medicine, and sent us daily updates with snuggle photos that made us feel completely at ease. Judy was clearly loved and beautifully looked after. Warm, professional, and trustworthy—highly recommend.”

“Elaine was great with my pup Nugget. She sent daily pictures and updated me each evening about Nugget's day. It was wonderful to be able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my fur baby was in such good hands. Will definitely book Elaine again!”

“Yoko and her husband provided amazing care for my dog Phoebe over our long vacation! Daily pictures, lots of love and interaction and toys. Phoebe looked happy, clean and well adjusted. Would book again!”

“I had a wonderful experience. Kadie took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos. She was incredibly responsive, easy to communicate with, and cared about making sure my dog was happy and comfortable. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, attentive dog sitter! Thank you so much for loving my dog as if he was yours! 😊”


“Kim was great! She honored our last minute request to watch our dog for the weekend and sent us many updates while he was staying with her. When we picked him up, he seemed very well cared for and relaxed.”

“Nicole was very responsive and communicative with questions. She treated my pup with care and made sure he was one happy boy. Thank you, Nicole, I will definitely request you again!”


About: I’ve lived with at least one cat my entire life. Having experienced deep bonds with these fascinating creatures, I know how hard it is to leave them. It’s impossible to enjoy a vacation unless I know that when I’m gone, my furry companions are looked after and cared for. I’ve worked in animal shelters, watched pets for family, friends and neighbors, and rescued kitties from the streets. I have cared for older kitties who need extra care, anxious cats who do NOT like strangers, and bottle-fed kittens, so special needs clients are no problem. I’m also a bit of a neat freak so litter box maintenance is a priority for me… and, of course, if your cats just need some company for a little while, hanging out with them would be a pleasure.
“Carol sent me a bunch of pictures while she was stopping by to visit my kitties which was super appreciated. She followed all the instructions I left for her, and let me know when she was coming and going. Thank you, Carol!”

“Hannah is such a thoughtful and responsible sitter. She followed all of our directions and provided many photos and updates while we were away. We highly recommend her.”


“Cheyenne did great with my cat! She took care of him while was away from my vacation. At first, I was so worried leaving him because he sustained a skin condition ( a ringworm like symptoms) & it’s not getting any better. But Cheyenne did not hesitate and willing to do the extra work. She updates me daily about my cat & took some pictures so that I can see his progress. She really gives me peace of mind! When I came home a week after, my cat’s wound is looking much better. Thanks Cheyenne for everything! You went above and beyond!”


About: 10 years ago now I convinced family to adopt two orange brother kittens we named Willy and Wonka. It was through them that I discovered my love and passion for cats. Through caring for them I was prepared when we took in two more cats; and now can truly not imagine my life without cats in it. Feeding, cleaning up after them, etc; you name it and I’ve most likely dealt with their shenanigans before!

“Kristie took great care of our cat - we came home to a friendly loving feline. Kristie even braved a snowstorm to take care of her and was kind enough to leave the light on for us as we were arriving home late. Details make all the difference. Highly recommend her”

“Hannah was phenomenal! Our original sitter called out less than a week before a 10 day trip, and we needed someone twice a day for our cat who needs insulin. She took wonderful care insuring Luna ate before her insulin dose, played with Arya, and provided wonderful photos and even videos while we were away. Hannah was willing to water our vegetables and take the trash out as well. She went above and beyond cleaning things up (cats threw up and peed outside the litterbox too!) and keeping everything tidy. We could not be more pleased and look forward to working with her again. Truly, a great professional sitter. Thanks so much Hannah!”

“Am very happy with Melvin's first stay at Hidden Gem. He is extremely bonded to me and I worried he would not do well. He had a blast! My concerns faded when Jason sent the first photos of Melvin with the other dogs in his care. It was clear he was enjoying himself and was comfortable. Wi do it again!”

I'm very responsible in assuring that your pets are well taken care of and their necessities are being met. I am employed Full-time but as most people, I do have the weekends off. My fiancé and I have opposite schedules so someone is always home! My schedule coordinates just well with our fur babies because if I'm not home, my significant other is. We have a fenced yard where your fur babies can enjoy the outdoors or run around. We have two Australian shepherds that are very energetic and love to play! Per request, your pet could be crated if asked.

Her home was perfect with a fenced yard and a lovely neighborhood for dog walks. We will definitely use Beatriz again and will recommend her to others.”

“Amanda was great with Ralphie during his doggie daycare stay. She was sweet, attentive and caring.

About: Dogs may wear their hearts on their sleeves, but cats make you earn their trust - and I love them both for it. I grew up with both cats and dogs, so I understand the unique quirks, personalities, and care needs that come with both. My goal is simple: make your pets feel loved, safe, and as comfortable as possible until you come back home to them (with plenty of photo updates, of course!) ♥️🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work a remote, flexible job which allows me to provide reliable care, walks, drop-in visits and plenty of attention to your pets. I’m happy to provide personalized care that helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and maintain their normal routine. My goal is to keep their day as consistent and predictable as possible, giving them the individualized care they need.
About: Hello! My name is Katerina. I have experience with small and large breeds. Growing up, our family had a Great Dane! In my single years, I cared for a beloved Jack Russel terrier from when she was an energetic pup until nearly 17. Currently, I live with my husband Seth and our two daughters, ages 11 and 13. Our little homestead includes a few chickens, a busy hive, and a cat whom we adopted five years ago. We are considering adopting a dog to keep our chickens safe from predators and to be a hiking companion in our travels. I am a full time homemaker and homeschooling parent. My schedule is very flexible. My days include educating my daughters ages 11 and 13 and running a small homestead of a few chickens, bees, and a cat. I love hiking at Ringing Rocks, Lake Nockamixon, and Delaware River canal towpath. Your dog would be a welcome companion on the hikes! If you have a senior dog, he will receive plenty of loving attention and companionship in our home. Our small homestead offers privacy and space for play and running. Your dog may enjoy cooling off in the creek that runs through the property. We live near Delaware canal towpath and Nockamixon state park. Both places offer excellent hiking and walking options for dogs!
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 7. I am currently trusted to watch over my families’ pets when I’m needed. I’ve always loved having fur babies by my side to care for and make happy. I have a part time job, school, and college classes to attend. I do have a handful of free time in between or on certain days. I’m free most Sundays and Fridays between 11:00-9. Mondays anytime between 2:30-9. Thursdays anytime between 1:30-9. In any clients home I would like to understand the boundaries of me being in the home. As well as and the boundaries of your animal! Both of which are helpful so all parties are comfortable and aware.

About: Life long animal lover I've taken care of many different kinds of pets! I had a frog growing up, fish, cats, dogs, and I've helped pet sit numerous times for a friend for his goats, chickens, turtle, geese, turkeys, ducks, fish, pigs, and dogs (puppies, adult dogs and a senior dog with medications who needed extra tlc). I also work here and there at a local horse farm feeding and cleaning stalls as well as turning 45+ horses out to pasture. I'm used to handling strong pulling animals (I like to think being able to handle an antsy 1200+ lb animal prepares me for most anything haha), and my own strong pulling dog so I'm well versed to handling eager dogs on walks. I've been able to administer medications to senior dogs, my own dog needed 5 different medicines for a few weeks during heartworm treatment and my cat currently is transitioning to a prescription urinary diet so I know a few tricks to getting medicine to them as well as doling out special meals. I'm currently working 3-4 days during the week at my main job as a Dental Assistant, as well as working a few hours every Sunday AM at a yoga studio. I am also a part time college student studying Dental Hygiene as well as on my way to becoming an Expanded Functions Dental Assistant. Currently that looks like Monday/Wednesday AM I am in class from 9am-11am, Friday from 12pm-5pm and Saturday from 9am-4pm I am at my other class (which ends the first week of September 2026). I will try to update this as often as needed. I marked Fridays off for now but I can be flexible with scheduling around work and school as much as I can. I typically work Monday/Tuesday/Thursday at my main job but the hours vary as early as 7am to as late as 8pm. Sometimes I will get scheduled Wednesday when needed but it's not often. Any questions on availability or time feel free to message me! If you are flexible with schedules it helps out alot too! I also have my own pets at home which is why I currently don't offer overnights as he has separation anxiety if I'm not home at night. I will follow your every instruction and request for taking care of your pet in your home, I can crate you dog and handle letting them out, making sure they don't get off leash or out of your fenced in yard and make sure your cat doesn't slip out the doorway when I come in. I have some sneaky pets myself sometimes and I feel I've become a master at outsmarting even the sneakiest pet. I'll make sure your pets have plenty of fresh water, the right amount of food, nothing is left out for them to get into or chew up, and cleaned litterboxes! I believe in treating your pet like my own and providing the utmost care and respect for both them and your home.
About: I’ve lived with and helped care for dogs since I can remember, and cats for the past decade now. I truly believe that our pets are a part of our family, and will bring that approach and belief with me into your homes. In the past 10 years I have helped raise 4 dogs and 4 cats, as well as caring for an elderly dog requiring special care. I hold a passion for animal safety and care, and believe that will show in my work. In our household I am an active participant in pet care. Typically I am involved in feeding both cats and dogs, taking dogs outside as needed, helping clean litter boxes as needed, etc; most often on a daily basis. In addition to the typical pet care information already provided, I take great care in providing a safe and fun environment for our pets. That includes playing with both the dogs and cats, taking our dogs on walks, etc. Overtime, our household has gotten to where we are now with 3 dogs and 4 cats total. I’ve come to learn and appreciate all of their individual quirks and personalities, and that only helps me care for them better. I look forward to meeting and getting to know your pets as well!

About: I am 29 years old and have cared for various pets over the years, primarily my two cats and family dogs.

I am excited to meet new furbabies, thank you for checking out my profile and please let me know if I can provide further information! 💜 I currently work full time, but I am able to come visit during lunch breaks and after the work day generally. I will let you know if I cannot accommodate a request. I have experience with caring for two cats full time currently and handle the litter box, feeding schedule and play time. I additionally have experience in the last ten years watching over our family dog and walking her as needed.

About: I have taken care of dogs for 7 years now, as well as taking care of my own. I watch family, friends, and neighbors dogs. I walk and play with them and give my dog baths.

About: I’ve had pets all my life and grew up taking care of them. I have been helping out friends and family with their pets since I was 12. At home I have a cat, 2 dogs, a gecko, and fish. I have experience and can work with any companion, big or small! I am currently a college student, but I don’t move into my dorm until after Labor Day! I have a summer job that is closing for the season, so I am available pretty much all day. I have two dogs and a cat at my home, with a fenced in backyard. I have been told I have good memory and will make sure all of your pet’s needs are met! My one dog is not trained well for our backyard, so I walk her often. I also frequently feed my cat and clean her litter box (replacing with fresh litter). I am good at reading animal body language and knowing how to react in many situations.
About: I have been looking after my family and friends dogs for years by providing a loving experience like they’re my own. I also have experience in dog daycare so i have the proper training in animal care I have a completely free schedule to walk or sit your pups at anytime during the day unless my calendar is marked unavailable. :) :) I am great at maintaining dogs on leashes, making sure they get crated safely, I respect others homes and possessions, i will take care of your dogs just like they’re my own

I'm looking to work as a full time as a dog walker or pet sitter. I have an open and flexible schedule to provide the best care. I have a questionnaire that helps me learn your pets needs so that I'm ready to step in and make vacations or work days easy on your pet(s).
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for a total of 5 years. I volunteered at an animal shelter to take care of cats, and worked for a few months taking care of dogs. I have also dog sat for friends when they went away and didn't have any issues. I have 2 dogs, one I got in January 2022 (chapo) and the other (pablo) in March 2022. Mr. Chapo was a rescue from the spca and we have had Mr. Pablo since he was 3 months old. Chapo is an American staffordshire and is 7.5 years old and pablo is 3.5 years old. I want everyone to be aware that I work full time and can be available in the mornings Sunday-Wednesday’s. I am free all day every other Wednesday. I am available all day Thursday-Saturday. I am more than happy to dog sit overnight/in the morning before i go to work. I will work with you so we can make sure your little one (or big one) is cared for! I am available on most weekends. Holidays may differ depending on my schedule. I let Chapo out when I get home and let him roam around outside because he just sleeps most of the day. When I am not home he is inside. Pablo is in his crate when I am at work. He likes going outside but not a huge fan. I will care for your pet however you would like since its your fur baby!

Her house is free of any harmful products and is a safe space for just about any pet. Nimer will definitely be coming back when we go on our next trip. Highly recommend!”

“Brittni's home was the absolute perfect place our dog Rolo could have gone for the week!

I genuinely think it was a vacation for Rolo as well with all of the walks around their beautiful property paired with being spoiled in their home as well! Brittni's kindness and gentle nature was immediately obvious with our dog, who seemed to warm up to her right away. Communication was excellent and everything went smoothly. We highly recommended Brittni to take care of any animal!”

“Brooke, Jeremy and Family were absolutely wonderful! Five stars, 10/10 ! Thank you for the care and attention you gave our Pomeranian babies! The daily photos made us so happy!”

“Rebecca and her husband were fantastic! I have a 7r old female Labrador retriever that is quite anxious and easily panicked. I had her shipped up to Pennsylvania from Texas when i had to move and i needed a place for her to stay while I was out of town. From the moment I booked with them, they were in constant contact and reassurance of her well-being. She stayed with them for about a weeks worth of boarding. I had constant updates through photos and videos multiple times daily. They were both so kind and live in a great neighborhood. They did everything they could to accommodate her to the best of their ability, even went as far as giving her chicken when she wouldn’t eat her food! These folks are a gem in the dog boarding community, and you would be lucky to book with them! They really love and care for animals and treat your pet as if it were their own! I will be using them again anytime I need a sitter for my dog Maddie!”

“Sara was great with our 2 dogs! She was very responsive and sent pictures throughout the visit. My favorite was a pic of our old boy with a horse named Ketchup-it was amazing! Be prepared for tired, dirty pups after their fantastic stay. Will be booking again :)”

“I think Cricket misses the family!! Ceinwen was amazing, sent never ending pictures and videos which we NEEDED. Cricket was spoiled, and pampered 😅 We will never use anyone else!”

“Allison was great with my three furbabies. They were well feed and received so much love from her and her family. Thank you for taking care of them. She was super flexible and very kind.”

“Carole was so great and I would recommend to anyone! She updated me with pictures and her home and fenced in area seems great for any sized dog. Thank you again Carole!”

“David was amazing! If you’re a nervous cat mommy like me, don’t worry at all. My baby was so well taken care of, and David sent a ton of updates and pictures while I was away which all pet parents love lol. 10/10, and @David I will be seeing you soon!”

“Carole was super accommodating for our last minute request to board my golden retriever puppy. She kept us updated with regular messages, pictures and video. She took great care of him. He got a lot of exercise and running around the fenced backyard while playing with her dog, Venus. After we picked him up, he slept straight through the day. My pup would definitely want to come back for fun filled stays with Venus. I highly recommend Carole to pet parents out there.”
