Pet Sitter and Dog Walking Services

Mid-Day Dog Walks

Worried your pet doesn’t get enough stimulation through the day? We’ll worry no more! We’re happy to visit your pet daily to offer a daily walk, a quick game of “Find It”, or the puuurrrfect combination of ear and butt scratches. We offer 25 or 45-minute visits exclusively for our mid day dog walking clients.

Vacation Pet Sitting

In addition to our Mid-Day Dog Walker service, Bull City Pet Sitting also offers vacation pet sitting. From early mornings to last outs, we can cover a full range of time frames. From cats, rats, chickens, cows and hamsters, if it has a bottom (or gills) we can sit it.

Speciality Services

Keeping your pet happy and healthy while you’re away isn’t limited to just walks. We also offer trail walking and extended stays. We even offer a “Goldfish Service” to provide a quick home check while you’re away.

Special Services

Trail Walks

$4290 Min

Bull City Pet Sitting understands a dog’s need to get off the pavement and work that nose now and then! Our premiere dog walking service is offering Trail Walks on Durham’s carefully selected, dog-friendly trails. 90-minute Trail Walks can be added to your pet sitting services for added enrichment. Each adventure includes your choice of trail, transport, a trailside snack, fresh water (not from a river or creek) and quick brush-down at the end. Your dogs will love it! Trail Walks are the perfect add-on for long vacation trips when dogs need the adventure to keep them calm and happy.

*Maximum 2 Dogs

The Crate Escape

$52120 Min

With all the benefits of a 60-minute visit,  Crate Escape gives your pet a chance to enjoy more of their daily routines. In addition to performing our standard duties, we’ll treat your pet to plenty of play time, cuddles, super long dog walks, basic grooming, dinner, and a movie, enrichment or just free time in their own home. It’s perfect for crated dogs who need a leg stretch, anxious pets who could use some extra enrichment or older pets who need more attention. This personalized service is focused on providing your pet with the human companionship and a little normalcy while you’re away.
*Due to the length of time required for service, times are limited to 9AM-7PM. $2 each additional pet

Goldfish Service

$1010 Min

Are you currently between pets but would still like someone to visit your home? BCPS, is proud to offer our Goldfish Service. While you’re gone, we’ll pop in for a quick visit to rotate the lights, rattle your blinds, water the plants, say “HEELLLOOO??” really loudly, perform our best impersonation of a large dog barking, and if you have one, actually feed your fish. Basically, it’s a security check for your home… and fish. Fish security is serious business.

Prices start at $10 for 10 mins and are only available by special request.

*$2 each additional imaginary pet

In honor of Dignan and Dora.

I love Bull City Pet Sitting. I never worry about my dogs when I travel because I know the best pet sitters in Durham are taking care of them. I love the personal notes waiting for me when I return. And, I love that they stay overnight and snuggle with my dogs so they will not be lonely while I’m gone. I really hate to leave them, but it’s much easier knowing they are going to receive the same level of love and care that I give them from my friends at Bull City Pet Sitting.

These guys are awesome. I travel a good deal for work, and they’re always very helpful in getting my pup the walks she needs. Flexible, responsive, friendly and very good with my dog. Highly recommended!

We first heard of Bull City Pet Sitting through word of mouth and discovered they are the diamond in the dogwalking/petsitting business! We have a shy, anxious dog whom requires special attention, and Heather and Jen immediately knew how to handle her. They went at her pace, and were very upfront about their expectations – even telling us that it may not work out if they were unable to gain her trust. Luckily, by giving Nina the individualized attention she required, they gained entrance into her ‘circle of trust’ and are now some of her favorite people. Heather and Jen have been so encouraging that they gave us the confidence to formally train Nina and she continues to make great progress. Their expertise and obvious caring nature is evident in every interaction, email, and phone call we’ve had with them.
