Cat Sitting Willow Ridge

“This is a very belated review, because I’m super disorganized, but Brooke was not! She took excellent care of our kitty, and we would gladly book her again.”

Carrie H.

“Kat took care of my cat for 10 days and was wonderful. She was reliable, communicated consistently with updates, and she clearly took great care of him. Most importantly, he warmed up to her quickly, which give me peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend.”

Amr W.

“Winter did a great job taking care of our 4 cats. I really appreciate how easy the whole process was and how well Winter communicated and kept us posted while we were away. Thanks so much!”

Karin M.

“Sophie was absolutely AMAZING!! It was my first time leaving my cats for an extended period of time, but I never worried because I knew Sophie was taking such great care of them. She sent updates and lots of pictures everyday. My cats loved her! I highly recommend!”

Gillian W.

“Ayana was perfect and patient with my little shy fella! Thank you and see you soon!”

Agata L.

“We could not have been happier with the care that Ruth Anne provided to our two cats while we were away. She was extremely fast and clear with communication from the start. She gave frequent updates and pictures, which allowed us to enjoy our time off without worrying about how our kitties were faring at home. It was clear that she gave them lots of playtime and attention during her visits, and her daily update notes were endearing and thorough. Frankly, our cats were so relaxed when we got home that they barely roused the energy to greet us. :) Definitely recommend!”

Danielle R.

“Maya was a great host for my Kitty! She sent many pictures and updates. Super friendly. And a huge plus that her cat and mine got along very well?”

Kaiden L.

“Meredith was amazing. My cat is shy and doesnt usually like other people but he loved Meredith. It was such a relief knowing my pets were in good hands.”

Lena K.

“Miyu went above and beyond in every way for our cats! Normally they are pretty panicked when we leave home for a few days, and one of our cats requires an inhaler twice a day. Miyu handles everything perfectly. When we came home, it was like we went out to lunch instead of leaving the state. She is super responsive and great with even our shy and and skittish cat. Can’t recommend her enough!”

Alayna O.

“Kate is wonderful. I will be recommending her to anyone needing a sitter, and won't hesitate to book with her again if needed. Thanks for taking care of my sweet, troublesome girls! 🐈‍⬛”

Jessica L.

“Courtney did a great job watching both of my cats. She was great at communicating and taking pictures of them while I was away. My cats seemed very happy when I returned. She followed instructions well and let me know of any issues that occured. Would recommend and would rebook.”

Cortny S.

“Jade was a phenomenal sitter for my kitty! She was communicative and always available, and she went above and beyond with her care. She cleaned up an unusual accident my kitty had, and even brought Amazon packages in for me. I truly hope she’s available when I need her next because I will definitely be using her again! Highly highly recommend!”

Jen O.

“Patient, kind, and through! She took the time to meet my cat and it made a difference. He is relaxed and happy. I am so grateful for Heather.”

Schenna S.

“Kelly stayed at my house with my cat for 10 nights, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Super proactive in communication, sent pics and updates daily, left the house in great shape (I really couldn't tell anyone had been here!) and was flexible in the end when my travel plans changed due to weather. Oh, and I could tell she genuinely enjoyed hanging out with my cat, which makes it all the better. Hope to be able to hire her for future needs!”

About: I've been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for over a decade, with 3+years of experience working at a kennel. I worked as a kennel attendant from 2021-2024 before moving to Durham. I primarily cared for boarding dogs and cats (and the occasional exotic), which included feeding, water, medication, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, cleaning, etc. I have experience giving shots to both dogs and cats (well-behaved, no aggression), and grew up with a diabetic dog in my family where I helped with insulin. I have had repeat pet sitting gigs for friends and family where I have proved myself to be reliable and responsible. If you book me, expect pictures! I love to take pet pictures and will happily send you as many as you'd like (or none if you truly want a get away experience). While I am not currently a dog or cat owner, I have some adorable ferret fur babies of my own (as pictured in my photo gallery). I work full-time 6:30am-3pm M-F. For overnight house stays I will do morning care before 6am and come back around 4pm or later in the evening depending on the pets needs! I have lower maintenance pets of my own so I will need to do drop-ins for them before/after work (I'm blessed for my short commute!) I can crate your pets if needed, leash walk them, or let them out in a fenced yard. I can accommodate for whatever system you have in place for your pet care! Currently, I am not offering pets to stay in my home unless I have built a relationship with the client and know the pets behaviors well enough.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to my Labrador, Kirby. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I have experience with both dogs and cats of all personalities. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your fur babies like my own, with lots of attention, patience, and love. I look forward to giving you peace of mind and your pets the best care possible! Pet care is a very important part of my every day routine. As I have a lab of my own, I am well practiced in the daily regimen of walks, potty-breaks, play-time, nap-time, (Kirby's favorite) meal-time, and so forth. It brings me so much joy to help take care of our sweet companions! I live right by duke forest which is where i love to go on dog-walks. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I will always keep an eye on your fur baby's water bowl and make sure they are healthy and safe.

“Carmack was great! Super communicative and sent lots of updates and pics of his time hanging with Lou Whitaker. Would definitely hire him for future dates.”

About: I’ve been a pet mom for over 25 years while raising my five children. Since losing my loyal companion 2 years ago and empty nesting, I am ready to shower love and care to your beloved pet. There’s nothing like the unconditional love of a pet and I can’t wait to meet your furry companion! I am currently a companion to my 90 year old mother and am home every day. I can easily incorporate care for your pet into our very flexible schedule. I can offer walks, play and companionship to your pet and visits to dog parks if they like to play with other dogs. Deck available at home- yard is not fenced in. Beautiful walking area around the lake behind our home.

About: Hey there! I have a friendly pit mix. I’m super active and love spending time with dogs and going hiking. I am in school to become a dog trainer. I have a few tricks up my sleeve. If you need to brush up on some training, I will do so and follow your instructions. I also love working with reactive/challenging dogs. Seeing the moment they understand what they are supposed to do is amazing and so rewarding. I love all types of animals and look forward to spending time with your pet(s) I am available full time but need to come and go to care for my own dog. I typically wake up pretty early and start my mornings with a long walk. I will follow all instructions and routines. If your dog likes to go on hikes or trips to the park, I’m all for it :) as for cats, lots of play if they are active kitties or just chill on the couch and hang out :)
