“David has "puppy-sat" for us on multiple occasions. We were very comfortable leaving Laika in David's care over a long weekend while we traveled. David is extremely caring and is great with our puppy. His dog, Layna, is also great at showing our pup "the ropes." David has taken Laika to Eno state park for multiple hikes and has a big backyard for her to play and explore. He sends us pictures and updates regularly! I am never worried about Laika when she is with David. He is our favorite dog sitter!”
“My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Teresa. We did an initial meet and greet and knew her and her family would take good care of Onyx. Teresa kept us updated with texts and pictures throughout the stay. She took the time to ask questions to learn what Onyx liked and didn't like, and what his normal routine was. We would recommend Teresa and use her services again in the furture. We're so glad Onyx was able to stay with her loving family who showed him the same attention he receives at home.”
“She was great with Chase; she kept me updated every day—sending me photos and updates on his behavior. Chase was very happy with her. I would definitely contact her again. Thanks, Rihanna.”
“Hank enjoyed another stay with Kenan and Kayleigh, and his moms appreciated knowing that he was in kind, caring, and safe hands! He had a great time playing with another 4-legged guest and going for walks on their beautiful farm. We greatly appreciated the updates, pictures, and videos that we received during Hanks stay. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!!!”
About: I have grown up around all kinds of dogs all of my life. Dogs who are scared of everyone, love everyone they all hold a special place in my heart. I have always wanted to do this ! I am a stay at home mom with two dogs of my own, so I really have a very open Monday-Friday Schedule and I am open to discussing weekends! I will treat them just like they are mine, and mine are spoiled to a core. All dogs are special and deserve to know they are loved.
“Oksana was wonderful. She kept my fur baby in her home for 4 nights and five days while we were on vacation. She made sure to update me daily with pictures, videos and letters. I will definitely be using her again.”
“We were very pleased with our dog's care over a 10 day stay! She looks healthy. She looks happy! We were given constant updates and pictures and kept apprised as to how she was doing. We have lived in this area for a year so we knew nobody regarding dog boarding. I'm so thankful for the care that our dog was given while we were away. I would definitely use Scott C. again for the exceptional service and consideration of our dog.”
“Our pitbull, Molly, had a wonderful stay at Mario and Sharee’s country home. It was so beautiful that I wanted to stay too! There was so much room for Molly to run around and enjoy the outdoors daily. They were so attentive to Molly as she had some stomach issues initially and they stayed in touch daily. Molly adjusted nicely and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the care and love she received. This is our new rover home that I will always reach out to first. Thank you!!❤️🐶”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a teenager. My friends, neighbors, and my family would rely on me to check on them. I would play with them, feed them, walk them, and sometimes if they have injuries I would change them and keep an eye on them while they were in my care. I'm currently not working at this moment. Im available from 9-5 during the weekdays but on the weekends I can do a couple hours if needed. I prefer the weekdays to be at the client's house and the weekends can be at my house because I have my kiddos. They love animals like they run with them and play fetch as well.
About: Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Currently I have a pug, Pixie. I have had guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, turtles and cats before. Currently I work part time and have lots of extra time for walks. I am very flexible with changes if you need to add more visitis. I offer visits to your home, 30 minute and 60 minute walks, and transportation services. I treat you fur baby as my own and give them lots of attention.
About: My experience is rooted in the continuous, loving care of my family's three dogs, meaning I am intimately familiar with detailed daily routines and unique care requirements. I am comfortable and confident handling dogs from a petite 9 lbs up to a grand 110 lbs, ensuring every pet receives safe, personalized, and attentive care. As a full-time student who studies primarily from home, I offer truly exceptional availability and supervision. Unlike many sitters who work outside the home, I am almost always present to ensure your pet gets continuous companionship, scheduled walks, and frequent potty breaks throughout the day. Safety and trust are my highest priorities. When caring for your pet in my home, they gain access to a truly unique and stimulating environment: 11.5 acres of mostly forested property. They can safely explore and play in my large, securely fenced yard, and enjoy supervised adventures along the numerous private wooded trails, offering the perfect blend of natural enrichment and peace of mind.
About: Hi there! My name is Hayley and I have an extreme love and passion for ALL animals! Since I was a baby and got my first cat at 6 weeks old, I have grown up in a household full of animals with everything from cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, you name it, and those animals have taught me so much, enough that I want to give back to the local community and their animals! My specialties are with cats and dogs of any age, though if you have another animal in need of service, I am open to anything and ready to learn! Currently, I have two dogs (Jack Russells who are 2 and 8 yrs old) of my own that I have raised since they were both 8 weeks old. I have knowledge in feeding, medication management, daily exercise, enrichment activities such as tricks, routine care (bathing animals), hygiene maintenance, potty training, and as always, I strive to have strong, reliable communication with owners of your furry friends! I specialize in cats and dogs BUT if you are need of services for another animal, please dont hesitate to reach out as I am willing to help, learn whatever I need to, and give some extra love to your pet! AFTER August 10th, all services will be unavailable until December as I return to school outside of the area. Please do NOT book past August 10th. Thanks so much for understanding! ☺️ Mon-Sun: 8am-2:30pm (schedule varies but I will try my best to work something out with you!!) Meet and Greets: Scheduled meetings BEFORE desired sitting dates; I come to your home to get to know you, your fur babies, and the required schedule/rules. (I leave this up to the client's preference but I usually recommend it!) (CAN provide services before/after hours when requested!!) *AFTER August 10th, all services will be unavailable until December as I return to school outside of the area. Please do NOT book past August 10th.* Thanks so much for understanding! ☺️ As I previously mentioned, I have two dogs (both Jack Russells) of my own that are 2 and 8 years old. I strive to maintain a clean space and comfortable for my pets where they can relax and follow their usual routines with no worries. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, provide daily exercise and playtime, and ensure their safety by always supervising. They have designated rest areas (although I do allow animals on furniture), plenty of enrichment activities/toys, and lots of affection of course! I also have a large yard where my dogs love to run around and play with toys (when outside, they are always supervised) and a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks! I am always keeping my eyes on them, making sure they are healthy, eating/drinking, and exercising correctly. In a clients home is a bit different as this is not my personal space. I tend to follow the routine/schedule exactly as written and complete the usual duties such as feeding, walking, playtime, waste/litter cleanup, etc. I keep the home clean, ensure safety over the property and animals, and provide regular updates and photos to owners during each visit. I always double check and make sure all pets are comfortable, safe, and have everything they need in their space before I leave.

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and companionship throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I’m able to accommodate pets close to my area easily and make their care a priority while keeping a consistent, calm, and loving environment. Providing a safe environment for pets is very important to me. I have a large yard where dogs can run, play, and get plenty of exercise while always being supervised and monitored closely.

“Misty was really great with my cat while I was away for the holidays :) She sent me daily updates and photos and was all I could have asked for! I was nervous leaving town, but she definitely helped minimize the stress of it for me. Super appreciative!”
“Ashley was amazing! She took great care of my three kitties and sent photos and sent a little report each time. One of my cats usually never comes out when other people are in the house, but she showed herself just for a min which is enormous! I highly recommend Ashley and will be using her again in the future!”
“This is the third time I've asked Viridianne to watch my cat while I was away, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about her. I’m so grateful to have found someone who not only takes great care of my cat but clearly loves spending time with him too. Every time I go out of town, I feel totally at ease knowing she’s the one looking after him. My cat absolutely loves her-it’s so sweet to see how excited he gets when she’s around. She doesn’t just stop by to feed him and leave; she actually spends quality time with him, plays with him, and makes sure he feels loved and happy while I’m gone. That means the world to me, especially because he can be a little shy and picky about people, but with her, it’s like he’s hanging out with an old friend. Viridianne is just amazing at what she does. She's reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely cares. I always come home to a happy, relaxed kitty-and that peace of mind is priceless. Both my cat and I are so thankful for her. Thank you so much, Viridianne!”
“This was the longest I’ve ever left my cat, Jack, and I honestly could not have asked for a better sitter. Jack is extremely shy and nervous around new people, so I was very anxious about leaving him, but Nicholas was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding with him from the start. Within just a few days, Jack completely warmed up to him, which honestly says everything. I received beautiful daily pictures and videos, and it was so reassuring seeing how comfortable, happy, and loved Jack was while I was away. Because of that, I was truly able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing he was in such great hands. I came home to a very happy cat, and I’m so grateful for the care and attention Jack received. I would absolutely recommend Nicholas to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter.”
“Alexandria did a great job with my kitty, Bea. When I got home Bea was calm, happy, fed, and her long hair was brushed. She sent photos and videos. The house was tidy! She even put out the trash for trash day. I would ask Alexandria to Bea-sit again.”
About: I've had animals ever since I can remember. Big, small, smaller, just about anything you can think of I've had. I take pride in making sure all animals around me are happy and cared for. I can care for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and any small animal from hamsters to bunnies. I'm currently searching for a part-time job, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your animals. I love to be around animals, more than people. So, I've got time to take long walks and excellent care of all your animals. I always take my pups out on a leash. They are trained to go into their crates when we leave. All of my animals get plenty of exercise, lots of toys, and all my love. I can assure you I'll take extra special care of your animals, just like I do mine.
“Heidi was very professional and friendly. The cats took to her right away and got a lot of love and attention. All directions were followed and pictures were given with updates. Would book again!”
“What an absolutely amazing experience. My cat was care for, loved on, and I received so many wonderful pictures. I’m always nervous to leave her since she has separation anxiety but she was calm and happy when I got home like I was never gone! Will definitely be using them as my pet sitter from here on out!!”
“Fred had a long-term stay with David and his family while we were in the middle of a cross-country move. He had a meow-velous time and was returned to us happy and with new toys. Dave's kids treated him like one of their own and Fred loved his time with them. We were so relieved to have a comfortable, caring home-away-from-home so gave us piece of mind so that we could concentrate on selling our house, packing it up, waiting for the new house, move in and unpack -- a two-month process that avoided a lot of trauma for our cat and worrying for us. So happy that Dave was such a good fit!”
About: I have taken care of my friends and neighbors pets countless times while they were away. I have also owned two dogs since I was twelve so I'm really great with pets! I am currently a stay at home wife so I have lots of flexibility! I will make sure your animals get the best care ever! Although, I am not able to care for pets in my own home I can take care of them in yours. I enjoy going to local parks and being outside so I would love to be outside with your pet.
“Raeann was great! She took great care of my two cats while I was away for a long weekend. Sent pics and updates, gave one of my boys his injectable medication each day, and gave them some extra loving on top of it too! Even vacuumed before I got home! It was wonderful peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of and would definitely book again!”

About: I’ve had/been around many different types of dogs my entire life. My family would always want me to come over and train/watch theirs animals for them like I was the go to person for anybody who got a new pet. I also use to volunteer at a boarding company to help feed/walk the dogs. I currently do doordash so I can pretty much fit any request in to my schedule. The most amount of time I would be away would probably be around 5-6 hours. I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like my own. I know how important routines are, so I make sure pets are fed on time, get plenty of attention, and feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m patient, responsible, and good at picking up on what each pet needs, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just some extra cuddles. I also like to keep owners updated so they can relax knowing their pet is happy and well taken care of.
About: I've always loved cats. I had cats growing up in New York, a house full of cats. My mother was allergic to cats so until she passed I wasn't able to have any cats of my own. But now we have two cats. I watch them when my family's out of town. I feed them breakfast and dinner. I play with them. I pet them. I love on them and most importantly I treat every cat with the upmost respect like they are little people.

“Was lucky enough to find a family who treated Lily as well as they did. Teresa was always available and when my schedule changed she was accommodating with last minute changes. Lots of outdoor play and she would send me updates throughout her stay. If I am ever in the area again I will 100% look her up to watch Lily.”
“Tori and Zachary watched our dog for the day at their home. He fit in great with their own dogs. He loved running around a fenced in backyard, and came home nice and tired. We will gladly use them again.”

“David was a really really great sitter for my dog. He took him out to play with his dog and they had a wild time and barely wanted to come back home with me. I think he’s going to need the day to recover. He’s a really friendly guy and seems to really care about getting the dogs what they need.”

“Kenan was willing to take my dog with short notice and was very responsive to messages. He provided pictures and a video. He has a great set up that allows the dogs some shade outside, even on hot days. When I picked up my dog she was smiling and even went to say goodbye to Kenan. It's obvious that the dogs like him and are being well taken care of.”

“Misty is truly amazing and really proactive with our pups. Truly a professional. We had a toenail issue during one visit and she sent me photos so I took Wolfie to the vet to get evaluated and Misty later texted to see how he was doing post-visit. The injury was his fault…chasing a squirrel and lost footing in the gravel. I know some people may find it odd to use this app but it’s legit. We receive texting and picture notifications with report cards during each visit. You won’t regret it! :-)”
“Banjo LOVES his afternoon walks with Ashley! She picks him up and takes him for a walk around the neighborhood. He gets his exercise and gets to check out the neighborhood. We love using Rover and Ashley while we're at work. She sends us photos from their walks and Banjo's excited face says it all!”

About: My love of pet care began at age 14 when I got my 1st job working with a vet. I bicycled each morning at 6 am before school to clean cages.

Pet sitting is my full time job so i am available at all times as long as it does not interfere with other clients scheduling or any important person events which will be communicated. I do drop in visits to keep your pet taken care of for as long and as my times as you need each day i also do overnight care where i drop in throughout the day for the pets needs then spend the night to keep your pet company and taken care of. I have a dog who has a fenced in back yard and is crate trained along with a indoor cat who is litter trained for taking care of clients pets i resupply water, food and give any medication needed, make sure your pets use the restroom and spend time with your pet. i only require that your pet has a safe environment, food and water i do not give treats that are not brought by me as many can cause chocking I also will not provide your dog with any food/medicine they have not had before again for safety reasons.
“Lindsay is great! She came to meet Cypress first, and they hit it off. Now Cypress gets super excited to see her and didn't even want her to go home. Super appreciate that she can come walk her while I'm working.”
About: Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Currently I have a pug, Pixie. I have had guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, turtles and cats before. Currently I work part time and have lots of extra time for walks. I am very flexible with changes if you need to add more visitis. I offer visits to your home, 30 minute and 60 minute walks, and transportation services. I treat you fur baby as my own and give them lots of attention.
About: Hi there! My name is Hayley and I have an extreme love and passion for ALL animals! Since I was a baby and got my first cat at 6 weeks old, I have grown up in a household full of animals with everything from cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, you name it, and those animals have taught me so much, enough that I want to give back to the local community and their animals! My specialties are with cats and dogs of any age, though if you have another animal in need of service, I am open to anything and ready to learn! Currently, I have two dogs (Jack Russells who are 2 and 8 yrs old) of my own that I have raised since they were both 8 weeks old. I have knowledge in feeding, medication management, daily exercise, enrichment activities such as tricks, routine care (bathing animals), hygiene maintenance, potty training, and as always, I strive to have strong, reliable communication with owners of your furry friends! I specialize in cats and dogs BUT if you are need of services for another animal, please dont hesitate to reach out as I am willing to help, learn whatever I need to, and give some extra love to your pet! AFTER August 10th, all services will be unavailable until December as I return to school outside of the area. Please do NOT book past August 10th. Thanks so much for understanding! ☺️ Mon-Sun: 8am-2:30pm (schedule varies but I will try my best to work something out with you!!) Meet and Greets: Scheduled meetings BEFORE desired sitting dates; I come to your home to get to know you, your fur babies, and the required schedule/rules. (I leave this up to the client's preference but I usually recommend it!) (CAN provide services before/after hours when requested!!) *AFTER August 10th, all services will be unavailable until December as I return to school outside of the area. Please do NOT book past August 10th.* Thanks so much for understanding! ☺️ As I previously mentioned, I have two dogs (both Jack Russells) of my own that are 2 and 8 years old. I strive to maintain a clean space and comfortable for my pets where they can relax and follow their usual routines with no worries. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, provide daily exercise and playtime, and ensure their safety by always supervising. They have designated rest areas (although I do allow animals on furniture), plenty of enrichment activities/toys, and lots of affection of course! I also have a large yard where my dogs love to run around and play with toys (when outside, they are always supervised) and a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks! I am always keeping my eyes on them, making sure they are healthy, eating/drinking, and exercising correctly. In a clients home is a bit different as this is not my personal space. I tend to follow the routine/schedule exactly as written and complete the usual duties such as feeding, walking, playtime, waste/litter cleanup, etc. I keep the home clean, ensure safety over the property and animals, and provide regular updates and photos to owners during each visit. I always double check and make sure all pets are comfortable, safe, and have everything they need in their space before I leave.

About: I am a college graduate and I work full time as a server. I’m available on weekdays and most weekends. I have a male black lab at home. I used to have a senior black lab mix but we had to put her down due to cancer. I have experience at the animal shelter and with my own dogs at home. I have lived with dogs all my life and I have lots of experience to take care of them. Dogs are my favorite animal and the one we have is pretty big. He is 90 pounds. He loves to swim and fetch the ball. I love cats and dogs! I want to make your pets as happy as possible. I would be a great pet sitter! I work 4 days a week as a server so pet care fits into my weekly routine! 2025 Schedule: Working location: Hillsborough, Durham, Chapel Hill, Raleigh area In my clients home I will care for your pets by putting on their leash, making sure they have food and water, and looking at the notes from the client. In my home I have a trail and a fenced yard.
About: I have raised many different types of dogs for 15+ years. For the last 5 years, I have housed many different animals in need. I have trained puppies, as well as nervous, and abused dogs. I make sure my home is a very welcome environment for animals of all kinds. Like my husband likes to say, I want a petting zoo in life. I currently work part-time in a pawn shop and full time mom to an adorable little toddler. We love being able to be around and care for animals as much as we can. I go on holidays maybe once or twice a year so I’m always around willing to help train or even just be a companion to your furry friend while you’re away I have an open yard with plenty of space to run around. I also have crates within the house just in case they need to be crated too. I have 3 adult dogs that roam free and are very friendly, as well as 3 puppies, and a 2 cats inside my house as well too. But it’s very rare my cats will come out during the day if I’m housing a dog inside.
About: This is my side hustle on my days off away from the hospital to support my lifestyle and the ever-rising cost of living. I currently don't have any pets. My previous three dogs Amber (Rhodesian Ridgeback), Brutus (Akita), and Tippy (Chihuahua) have all crossed the rainbow bridge. I am a nurse. I work 2-3 shifts a week, and have 3 or 4 days off every week. My schedule is flexible and my availability changes from week to week. I tend to work a lot of weekends at the hospital. I love hiking and being outside. My favorite places are the Eno River State Park, Duke Forest, and the Carolina North Forest. I have also started exploring some of the paved walking trails and greenways in the area.
“So professional and helpful!! Highly recommend! David really went above and beyond, taking JuneBug on a nice long walk down along the river, and including lots of photos of her smiling face.”

“David has "puppy-sat" for us on multiple occasions. We were very comfortable leaving Laika in David's care over a long weekend while we traveled. David is extremely caring and is great with our puppy. His dog, Layna, is also great at showing our pup "the ropes." David has taken Laika to Eno state park for multiple hikes and has a big backyard for her to play and explore. He sends us pictures and updates regularly! I am never worried about Laika when she is with David. He is our favorite dog sitter!”
“She was great with Chase; she kept me updated every day—sending me photos and updates on his behavior. Chase was very happy with her. I would definitely contact her again. Thanks, Rihanna.”
“Hank enjoyed another stay with Kenan and Kayleigh, and his moms appreciated knowing that he was in kind, caring, and safe hands! He had a great time playing with another 4-legged guest and going for walks on their beautiful farm. We greatly appreciated the updates, pictures, and videos that we received during Hanks stay. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!!!”
About: I have grown up around all kinds of dogs all of my life. Dogs who are scared of everyone, love everyone they all hold a special place in my heart. I have always wanted to do this ! I am a stay at home mom with two dogs of my own, so I really have a very open Monday-Friday Schedule and I am open to discussing weekends! I will treat them just like they are mine, and mine are spoiled to a core. All dogs are special and deserve to know they are loved.
“Oksana was wonderful. She kept my fur baby in her home for 4 nights and five days while we were on vacation. She made sure to update me daily with pictures, videos and letters. I will definitely be using her again.”
“We were very pleased with our dog's care over a 10 day stay! She looks healthy. She looks happy! We were given constant updates and pictures and kept apprised as to how she was doing. We have lived in this area for a year so we knew nobody regarding dog boarding. I'm so thankful for the care that our dog was given while we were away. I would definitely use Scott C. again for the exceptional service and consideration of our dog.”
“Our pitbull, Molly, had a wonderful stay at Mario and Sharee’s country home. It was so beautiful that I wanted to stay too! There was so much room for Molly to run around and enjoy the outdoors daily. They were so attentive to Molly as she had some stomach issues initially and they stayed in touch daily. Molly adjusted nicely and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the care and love she received. This is our new rover home that I will always reach out to first. Thank you!!❤️🐶”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a teenager. My friends, neighbors, and my family would rely on me to check on them. I would play with them, feed them, walk them, and sometimes if they have injuries I would change them and keep an eye on them while they were in my care. I'm currently not working at this moment. Im available from 9-5 during the weekdays but on the weekends I can do a couple hours if needed. I prefer the weekdays to be at the client's house and the weekends can be at my house because I have my kiddos. They love animals like they run with them and play fetch as well.
About: My experience is rooted in the continuous, loving care of my family's three dogs, meaning I am intimately familiar with detailed daily routines and unique care requirements. I am comfortable and confident handling dogs from a petite 9 lbs up to a grand 110 lbs, ensuring every pet receives safe, personalized, and attentive care. As a full-time student who studies primarily from home, I offer truly exceptional availability and supervision. Unlike many sitters who work outside the home, I am almost always present to ensure your pet gets continuous companionship, scheduled walks, and frequent potty breaks throughout the day. Safety and trust are my highest priorities. When caring for your pet in my home, they gain access to a truly unique and stimulating environment: 11.5 acres of mostly forested property. They can safely explore and play in my large, securely fenced yard, and enjoy supervised adventures along the numerous private wooded trails, offering the perfect blend of natural enrichment and peace of mind.

About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover with dogs of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I offer dog sitting in my safe and welcoming home in Oxford, NC, where your pup will get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and exercise. Whether your dog loves to run around, play fetch, or just relax and cuddle, I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for like family. I also send lots of pictures and updates so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away. Creating a fun, clean, and safe environment for every pet is my top priority, and I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and companionship throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I’m able to accommodate pets close to my area easily and make their care a priority while keeping a consistent, calm, and loving environment. Providing a safe environment for pets is very important to me. I have a large yard where dogs can run, play, and get plenty of exercise while always being supervised and monitored closely. Inside my home, I keep a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, personality, and routines to make sure they stay happy, safe, and well cared for at all times.
