Cat Sitting White Cross

“Kai is spectacular with the care for my 2 cats. She followed instructions on feeding and kept them stimulated with play time. Some of my best photos of my cats has come from Kai's visits. Would 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! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work with your pet’s needs! I’m available for check-ins and visits anytime on weekends. During the week, I am completely available on Fridays and can usually accommodate morning and evening check-ins Monday–Friday, with the exception of Wednesdays, when my availability is more limited. I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you and your pet’s routine! 🐶🐱 I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment, which is why I provide in home check-ins and care at your pet’s home. I will always respect your space, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure your pet’s routine stays as consistent as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn your pet’s personality, habits, and needs so I can provide thoughtful, attentive care. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, exercise routines, and care instructions to help your pet feel safe and relaxed. As a lifelong pet owner and experienced pet sitter, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member and your home. I’ll provide updates and photos during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and cared for. I do not offer boarding in my own home, but I’m happy to provide reliable, loving care where your pet feels most comfortable—at home.

“First class care for my shy guy Papillon. Taylor provided timely, kind care of Ashley. Her communication skills are the best. Highly recommend her services!”

“She was amazing. I was stressed prior to leaving on our trip since we would be out of the country and we had just had a tree fall on the house. She reassured me every day that my fur baby was doing well by notes and lots of pictures. I have to say that she really is a great cat person and that comes from my kitty who does not do well with strangers. Aspen took the time to love her and to even brush her which made my day as well as my kitty's. Will use again.”

“Danielle on short notice did a great job helping us out on NYE. She communicated quickly and in great detail that allowed us to enjoy our night out.”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, including my family's two adorable King Charles Spaniels, which sparked my lifelong love for animals. Because my own pups were prone to health issues, I am incredibly patient and experienced in administering medication and providing attentive care. I dog-sit for friends and family, managing everything from feeding schedules to playtime. I regularly visit the Orange County Animal Shelter to take shelter dogs out through their Dog’s Day Out program, giving me experience with a wide variety of breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether your pup needs a high-energy playdate, a patient hand for medication, or just some quality couch cuddles, I’m excited to welcome them with open arms! Please reach out with any questions about dates and times and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Generally, I am available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday through Sunday after 10am not available Tuesday or Thursday. When caring for your pup, my top priorities are making them feel completely safe and loved. Whether staying in a cozy home environment or exploring the beautiful Chapel Hill greenways and trails, I tailor every day to your dog's specific energy levels and physical needs. I treat every home with the utmost respect and ensure you receive frequent, sweet photo updates of our adventures.

“Sharon is the best. Definitely a dog lover. She took great care of our property and went the extra mile for us. We will definitely use her services again.”

Edna P.

“Agus was a huge relief as a first-time user of this platform. Provided plenty of pictures and updates, and took special care to ensure that my cat didn't lock himself in any rooms. Did a great job of caring for my cat, and made sure to spend time playing and visiting with him so he didn't get lonely while I was gone. I would definitely recommend Agus to anyone searching for a pet sitter, and will absolutely be reaching out again next time I am in need of one.”

Jacob W.

“Autumn is the best! She’s watched our cat twice this year for week long vacations. She’s attentive, creative and a great communicator. She sends pix every day, which delights my daughter. We are grateful to her and hope to work with her again!”

About: Hello! I've pet sat for multiple years now and would love to help you out! From new born puppies to elderly dogs I've done it all. Dogs, cats, chickens, and even bearded dragons, I gotchu! I'm a student at UNC Chapel Hill and can handle any needs and wants to need from me! Hope to sit for you very soon! I am available in the morning before class that begins around 10am and all the time afterwards around 1:30pm. On weekends I am available all day! I am fully able to complete anything the owner needs from me! Walks, medication, play time, staying over some nights, I'm your girl! I can usually stay for some hours each time I need to drop by and of course spend nights if needed!

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.

About: Growing up, I was always surrounded by dogs. Whether it be family, friends, or neighbors, there was always a pet nearby for me to visit, care for, or walk. Even in my household, I can't remember a time where there wasn't a dog running around. In addition, I've volunteered numerous times in dog shelters---caring for the less fortunate animals in our towns and giving them the love they deserve. This has shaped a lot of who I am and has made me into the animal lover I am today. I know the ins and outs of dog behavior, have dabbled in puppy training, and am accustomed to senior dog care. I look forward to getting to meet each of your furry friends! I am currently a full time student, my daily schedule is built around my classes. However, I have multiple gaps in the day and am readily available to help throughout the day for walks or check ins. I am flexible with talking about schedules and can work with anything! I am very attentive to what each pet needs and will adhere to what you know best about your home. I am comfortable crating dogs, taking them out for walks often if a yard isn't available, and even just caring for them inside. I don't have a house that allows taking in pets but I can care in the best way for your house.

“Natalie was GREAT!! Our cats LOVED her, probably more than they like us even! She was able to coax our very curmudgeonly elderly cat out from her hiding place and interact with her on each of the home visits! Natalie took great photos and shared pertinent and expansive notes about her home visits, too, which put us at ease as we vacationed. Would definitely book again! (Oh, and she brought in our delivered packages while we were away, without prompting, which was much appreciated!)”

Valerie H.

“Ria has wonderful experience with pups and kitties. Put me at ease with my 8mo old wild child pups. So considerate and easy to talk to! Looking forward to having her be our sitter in the future :)”

Wolfgang G.

“Tina is great! She really helped me out when I was in a pinch! She took great care of my pups and would definitely use her again and recommend her.”

About: Worked with Dogs and Cats both young and old. Along with a small range of farm animals like chickens and goats. Additionally I have works with some more unique pets like chinchillas. I have also done some house sitting off and on for a few years. Currently working part time over the summer so have more than enough time at all times throughout the week. I am free pretty much 24/7 all day every week but tend to like one day notice of booking. I have a small back yard that’s fenced in and more than enough space both within and outside my house. I also can let them out, feed, play, whatever they need if ever or whenever you would like me to go to your house.

About: Hi! My name is Mack, and I’m a chemist in the RTP area with a lifelong love of critters! I grew up caring for dogs and cats and love to spoil and pamper them. I have experience caring for pups of all personalities and ages, including senior dogs with medical needs. I am also experienced with fish and other aquatic critters, as well as birds! I understand that every pet has their own unique routine, personality, and needs, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I especially enjoy working with medium-sized and large dogs and love getting to know each pup as an individual. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra companionship, or care while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help! DISCOUNT- I offer a discounted rate for house sitting during the day without overnight stays (typically 8am to 8pm). If this is of interest to you, reach out and I’ll offer the discounted rate! I am an early riser and can best help with early morning and afternoon pet care! My schedule is flexible and I can accommodate a variety of scheduling needs and pet care styles. For house sitting bookings, I am committed to leaving your home clean and showing your home the care and respect it deserves! This includes keeping your pets safe and comfortable in their home, staying on their schedules, and cleaning up.

About: With 12 years of experience in pet care, I have a deep passion for ensuring pets receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. My services include overnight pet care, drop-in visits, and 30-minute dog walks, all tailored to meet the unique needs of you and your pets. Whether it's providing companionship, administering medication, or simply taking your dog on a refreshing walk, I am committed to offering reliable and compassionate care. Your pets' safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I strive to create an stress-free experience for both you and your pets. As a grad student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to play with your pups and ensure they get the exercise and care they need throughout the week and on weekends. I care for dogs in your home, following your specific instructions to ensure they feel comfortable and safe. I'm diligent about keeping dogs on leashes or harnesses during walks and am comfortable crating them if needed. My goal is to maintain their routine and provide attentive care while you're away.

About: Hey, my name is Tiffani! I've been taking care of my own pets since I was about ten years old. Along with that, I have been pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors for about the same amount of time. I currently have two dogs, Draco and Rhino, who are both pitbulls, so I have experience caring for big dogs. Although I do not currently have a cat, I have experience caring for cats and kittens and would be thrilled to take care of your furry friend. I will provide a wide variety of services, including walks/potty breaks, feeding, playtime, administering medication if needed, and overnight in-home sitting. I am also happy to help with basic grooming, such as brushing and keeping your pet’s area tidy. My goal is to tailor my services to each pet's needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. As for my availability, I am in college and work part-time, but my schedule is still very flexible. That means I can stop in for quick visits, hang out for longer play sessions, or even stay overnight if your pet needs extra company. Making sure your pets feel happy, safe, and loved is always what matters most to me! While I am currently in school, working part-time, and volunteering at an animal sanctuary each week, I am very comfortable managing a busy schedule. In addition to caring for my own pets, feeding, walking, playing, and of course, cuddling, I am more than happy to fit your pets into my routine. Whether your pet needs an hour-long walk or overnight care, I am flexible and prepared to accommodate their needs. My dogs get along very well, even though they were introduced to each other a few years apart. However, they must be fed separately to prevent any fights or food stealing. I also have experience caring for dogs who cannot be in the same space together. Because of this, I am fully capable of handling specific care requests, whether that means feeding pets separately or maintaining a safe distance between them for their safety.

About: Hello! Thank you for considering me to care for your furry family members. My guiding principle is to treat every pet in my care with the same love and attention I give my own elderly Greyhound and sweet tabby cat. Regardless of whether I am there for drop-ins or house-sitting, my goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for young, high-energy cats and dogs as well as senior pets, and I adjust my caregiving style according to your pets' needs. Whether providing long walks and lots of playtime, or slower days cuddling on the couch, I would be honored to help your pets stay happy and healthy while you're away! More details about my cat care experience and safety principles are provided in the Details tab. Scheduling: I just finished my Ph.D. program and am in the process of applying for jobs. That means I have a flexible schedule for you and your pets! I can provide daily drop-ins for any amount of days, or can stay in your home with your pet(s) for up to 4 days. When I am caring for your pets in your home my priority is maintaining their familiar routine to keep stress levels low. ----- Dogs ----- Safety & Exercise: During walks, I always use a leash and practice defensive walking. This means if I see another dog approaching, I will cross the road or move off the sidewalk with your pup to prevent potential conflict or overstimulation. If your dog prefers a faster pace, I’m happy to go for a run with them. I also always supervise backyard time if you have a fenced backyard area. Playtime: For high-energy pups, I'm happy to play with them using their favorite toys. For older pups, I can do gentle playtime and always love couch snuggles (only if they’re allowed on the furniture!). Crating: I follow your house rules. I do not typically use crates unless specifically requested as part of your training or safety routine. ----- Cats ----- Safety & trust: I will follow your cats' lead. I never pick up cats or invade their personal space unless invited by them. If they want to play or receive cuddles, I will be honored to do so! Indoor/outdoor dynamics: I have experience working with indoor and indoor/outdoor cats. Cleanliness & feeding: I clean litter boxes as soon as they're soiled, and will follow your feeding instructions. I've worked with cats that free-feed and those that have scheduled feedings.
