Cat Sitting in Balch

About: I am new to Rover, but have worked in the Animal Health Industry as a Veterinarian Technician (animal nurse) and outside sales/customer service for the past 30+ years. Along with the background check Rover provides, I also have a Business License and I am Insured/Bonded. Animal care is my only business/job. I have experience with most animals from reptiles to cattle and currently have a little 5 acre hobby farm with a horse, goats, chickens, dog and cat. I am very flexible with days you need pet care. My days are filled with animal care of my own/yours, walking/hiking, gardening and home/property projects. Your pets will be treated with great care while spending time with me. I have a gated 5 acre hobby farm with 1/2 acre fully fenced area around my home. My farm animals are fenced in separately for safety. I also have 3 acres of wooded trails/not fenced for leash walking. I am able to provide care and exercise depending on your pets needs and will only accept dogs that are not aggressive towards people or other dogs for a positive/fun experience. I have giant wire crates/bedding for night sleeping/feeding and can take up to 3 dogs. I would prefer same family, but may be some overlap with scheduling. Otherwise they will be spending time with me in my home and on my property. There are two large porches for either sunning or shade. I also have air conditioning. Please be up to date on vaccinations (including kennel cough), worming and monthly flea control. I live in a quiet/peaceful valley. Please no excessive barkers and bring their food, treats and special toys. If you have an older/well trained dog that would be happy sleeping in a dog bed at night, I can be accommodating. Especially, if I have no other dogs boarding here. Must have been crate trained at some point in their life. Waking up in the am to an intact couch is nice! 😊 Please allow enough time for a 1st time meet and greet prior to finalizing the booking. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family!

“We are very pleased with the care Lilly received from Niles and Noella this weekend. Lilly is an elderly lady and they were very kind to her and considerate of her needs. The Rover report cards they sent helped to assuage any anxiety I had about leaving her alone for the weekend. I highly recommend them.”

“Becky always does an amazing job with toby and is extremely patient with him giving the fact he has a lot of energy and for a bigger sized dog she's extremely helpful with him, we recommend her for all your dog sitting needs!”

About: I can hardly remember a time where i didnt have at least one pet. I volunteered at animal care and dogwash places throughout highschool as well as taking care of my grandmother and other seniors in life I am looking for work but currently unemployed and always able to give your pet only the best care and time I walk and drive I care for pets in my home by feeding them the proper food,giving them water,snuggling and playing with them,taking them on walks to excersize as well as getting them outside for bathroom breaks

About: I've worked with a variety of animals throughout my life and dogs have taken up the majority of that experience. I've lived with dogs and cats my whole life, helped neighbors with their animals, both with house visits and making sure their animal friends get proper exercise. I just finished working at a dog and cat kennel that I was with for a year before starting college, there I learned how to handle every size dog, proper grooming, styling, exerciseing, training, behavior modification and observation, medication treatments and how too handle emergency situations. I'm at student at The Evergreen State College and currently have classes three days a week, I'm looking to work with animals while I learn more about them. I'm very flexible and can work with your needs. I will ensure your animal friends have a proper and comfy place while your gone, insuring your pets have a good climate, don't get too cold or too warm. I will wash and refill both the food and water when needed, provide brushing for dogs with longer coats. Take them outside if allowed for backyard runs, play time, emotional support and supervision. Clients can choose to recieve updates on their pets by text, call, or email. Applies for dogs, cats and any other animal you may have.

“Trenton is thorough and communicative! We really appreciate how well he cares for our cats and goes above and beyond to take trash out, bring in a package, etc”

About: I love all kinds of pets from furry ones to scaly! I’ve been house/pet sitting for over 10 years. I fall in love with every animal and care for them as if they are my own and your pets will be safe and adored while in my care! I’m currently working 7:30am-4pm Monday-Friday with open evening and weekend availability. If needed during the day, I work in Shelton and live in Littlerock so during the work week I am unavailable for at least 8 hours in the daytime. I would prefer to care for your pets at their home so that they’re most comfortable! I do have two cats and a big dog so caring for yours at my home would be on a case by case basis. But I am willing to travel to make sure your babies are provided the most consistent care.

“So nice and great with both Finn and Gus! I’ve been loving all the updates and pictures sent!”

“My GSD did very well with Emma, she came over on time for the scheduled visits and even stayed a little later to make sure he was potties before bed. My boy is very active and I really appreciate all the play he got. I will be looking to book Emma for future care, thank you!”

Sarah M.

“Ruby was very kind and responsive the entire time we communicated. She brought up safety precautions during our meet & greet and was overall excellent to work with. My cat Jula was well taken care of by Ruby and I will definitely be rebooking in the future”

“This was a long stay for us as a family emergency pulled us out of town. Chelsie made sure to accommodate us and take care of our dogs last minute. She took such great care of them while we were gone. Thank you again!”

About: I have owned dogs for 11 years now, and still counting. I have pet sat and dog walked for many people; I have experience with different dog sizes, personalities, and training techniques, and have used that knowledge to better my skill set. I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant, and have the training to preform any basic medical tasks, should your pet require it. I have also worked with cats, horses, exotic animals and livestock in the past. I am currently working part time form home, so your pets will have plenty of playtime. I am available for boarding or home-visits, depending on your pet's individual needs. I have a large farm for your furry friends to run around on. If in your home, I am very comfortable with yard play, leashes, and crates.

About: I have many years of experience with dogs and cats through personal pet ownership and former employment as a Veterinary Assistant/Kennel Attendant. My husband and I have 6 spoiled dogs and two cats that we adore. I enjoy taking my dogs for walks in the park and throwing a tennis ball for some play and exercise. I I have experience taking care of senior dogs and blind dogs. Also some grooming experience through an on line course and 150 externship hours. I am currently working full time but have weekends off. I am available afternoons Monday through Friday and am currently providing nail trims on dogs and cats. I do not do at home day care yet but I do offer dog walking and drop in visits for feeding, walking and play time.

“Rayann did a great job taking care of Terabyte and Rafiki while we we went on a couple back to back trips. She was very accommodating of our cats' needs and was willing to be flexible with some of the scheduling. Would highly recommend booking her to take care of your babies! 🐱🐶”

About: I have a deep well of patience, understanding and affection for your pet. When I am interacting with a dog or cat, they recieve my sole and loving attention. I can't wait to meet yours! I am a retired teacher so I have a lot of management skills and am supremely responsible. I am a retired teacher so I have a ton of time. I am moving from managing teen agers to having loving interactions with pets. I am a single woman in my 50's with no pets of my own, so I am very available to care for your animals. Since I have been back in the USA after teaching overseas for years, I have taken care of and house sat for many people who were pleased with my services. I would love to get to know your animals and make them feel safe and secure while you are gone!

“Our family is so lucky to have Vita helping us. Most important is that Benny has loved her from the begining and looks forward to her visits.”
