Cat Sitting Willow Ridge

“Eli did a great job watching my cat. He showed up consistently, sent pictures of the cat, her food/water/litter box and even brushed her! Daisy came out to see him on the first day and she doesn't like strangers!”

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.

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.

“Kat was wonderful. When she had a question she was not afraid to reach out for clarification. Our cats were well fed and cared for and she brought our trash cans in without asking! I would trust her with my cats again.”

“Sophie has been patient and caring with Coco; She is fabulous! Follows instructions and keeps me updated on her visit with Coco. Most importantly, Coco loves her. He gets super excited to see her. I highly recommend Sophie.”

“Brooke was very professional and caring. She went above and beyond with terrible weather, tree falling on house, and kitty who hid, She was able to handle the unexpected and the worrisome. Brooke cleaned the floor in our bedroom that had debris from the fallen tree to prevent the kitty from eating the pieces of wood and plaster. Kitties were well fed and cared for. I would highly recommend Brooke.”

“This was our first time using Rover and Miyu was amazing! We were nervous about leaving Loki home alone for the first time, but she made everything so easy. She even showed us how to use the app and kept us updated with super detailed notes and pictures after each visit. Miyu was great with giving Loki his meds, taking him on walks, and making sure he got plenty of attention. We could tell he was in good hands the whole weekend. Came home to a happy pup! Definitely recommend her and will book again.”

About: Hello! I am 38, been in Durham since 2013, and I have lived with several friends who had dogs, so I got my start taking care of them when our human housemates were out of town. One of those longtime housemates is a certified dog trainer who had three dogs when we lived together, so I learned a lot from them about dog care and behavior! In my mid 20’s, I was referred to a friend’s parents for overnight dog sitting. I ended up loving it and have been dog sitting for them for 10+years. I’ve also taken care of their three adult children’s pets when they’re on vacation many times, proving that they trust me with their whole family 💜 Three of the dogs I have taken care of have been seniors with medications, special diets and/or needs, such as more frequent potty breaks, or help getting up and down stairs. I enjoy spending special time with those elderly family members. Since then, I have been referred to several other people for overnight stays. I have a few regular clients whose cats and dogs I stay with as well. I grew up a cat person, rescuing and raising kittens from a feral cat colony in our neighborhood. We had six of our own throughout the years who all lived to be between 18-22 years old! I have also taken care of chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs several times. I love to garden and take care of plants, as I have worked on a couple farms for several years and currently live with someone who owns a landscaping/garden business 🌱 I am currently in between jobs while pursuing a new career. Previously, I have managed catering companies for the last 10 years. While I am job hunting, I am very flexible to spend as much time as needed with your pet! When I am staying with a new dog, I make sure to use the owners’ commands, following their instructions to a ‘T’. I believe that dogs can sense when someone isn’t comfortable with them, so I try to establish a trusting relationship where the dog will respect me while also feeling calm with me, during the time when their person isn’t home. I would love to have repeat clients in order to build a longer relationship with them. It always feels so good when I show up to a client’s house and their pet is as excited to see me as I am to see them💖

“Meredith always communicates her arrival, responds quickly and shares information about Finn’s day. She is wonderful to work with. Finn loves her and is always so happy when we get home. We highly recommend Meredith”

“Katy was great with my dogs and incredibly reliable. I was in Raleigh for 6 weeks for work, and Katy came by every day to check in on my two dogs, including my rambunctious puppy! Excellent communication throughout, knowledgeable, diligent, and trustworthy. I can't recommend her more highly!”

Jodi H.

“Kate took care of my fur family while I was out of town. I was often worried about them, but Kate put my mind at ease by providing me with regular check ins on how everyone was doing. Kate sent photos of my cats showing that she spent time with them. Seeing them sitting on her lap brought me so much peace. I looked forward to receiving the photos of them she sent! Thanks, Kate!”

Rebecca D.

“Ruth was a wonderful sitter for our cats while we were away on vacation! She left us fun and detailed notes about the visits that were truly appreciated. She seemed to really understand our cats needs and personalities in order to offer exceptional care. She was kind, responsive, and sent adorable photos of the cats as well. She even brought in our mail and was attentive to clean the cat’s dishes. We will definitely be reaching out to her for future vacations!”
