Cat Sitting in Ballantine

“Emily was fantastic! She kept us updated and sent pictures. She went above and beyond to care for our cats and to help us out! Her love for animals is obvious. We have one very shy cat who immediately took to Emily. She’s a natural!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since my parents got me my first dog at the age of 5. Taking her for walks, playing with and feeding her every day were a highlight of my childhood. When I got older I started pet sitting and house sitting for friends and neighbors. I love animals and I take great care of them. My job is in six hour shifts, four days/week, so I’ll be able to check on your fur babies frequently. I’d love the opportunity to take care of your pets while you travel, check in on them during the day and take them on fun walk adventures. I am always conscientious about safety and security. I’ll make sure your pets stay safe even if they are escape artists! I’ll follow your directions for care, only feed them what they’re supposed to eat, and give them all the cuddles and pets they could want!

About: I have been fortunate enough to have experience with several kinds of pets with varying needs and will love them all the same! I am committed to allowing your pet to have the best care while also providing additional services if requested. My experience is not only with dogs, but cats and birds as well. My dog loves to have new friends and will be a great companion to yours during their stay with us. I look forward to meeting you prior to the boarding dates to ensure I am the best fit for your fur child and that we both know where he/she will be staying for the time. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or inquired about myself or Remington!

About: I've been around animals since I was young, and have such a passion for them! I worked with animals in a professional setting for over 5 years, and stopped due to having a baby. So, now, I want to translate that professional and personal experience into a positive experience for you! I've done everything from drop-in care, staying overnight, walks, basic training, and just loving on any pet you may need me to take care of for you. I have experience with all breeds extra small to extra large, puppies, adult dogs, seniors, and special needs dogs. I'm more than happy to do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure I'm a good fit! And if I'm not I'll totally understand! You deserve the person who suits your needs best! I'll happily take pictures and keep you updated as well! I hope you'll consider me for you, your pet(s), and peace of mind 🙂 I'm currently a stay at home mom so my schedule is open and free! The only thing that would come up is someone booking before you. My daughter has me up between 6-7 AM and I don't ususally go to bed until 11 PM (my own doing lol). So I'm a great fit if you need a last minute animal caregiver! I will abide by whatever you want for your pets. Crate, out, walks, or playtime in the yard! In my home I do have my 5 month old daughter (who is fearless around any sized dog) and a cat! I can watch your pets in my home but those two things must be accounted for

I have a fenced yard and a very friendly dog to keep your dogs company. I do not have a crate to provide for dogs staying over at my place. If required, we can surely work something out!

Requests for boarding are carefully screened for various safety criteria. We are surrounded by a big irrigation ditch & wonderful trails, which are a lot of fun for swimmers, but obviously comes with responsibility and is not a good fit for all dogs. Dogs will be exposed to ticks, field grass, potential obstacles in the water, other walkers in the area, and light traffic. It is essential that we are all a good match before agreeing to board. Dogs must follow basic commands & have excellent recall despite wildlife distractions. Therefore, we do require a scheduled Meet & Greet with your dog on our property prior to accepting a boarding.

Additional services I offer include care coordination, property management, personal assistant, co-hosting vacation rentals, and special needs animal care. We are fortunate to have trails & fields running in several directions from our 5 acre property. We also have a big ditch that follows the trails, which the dogs love to swim & splash in. I can walk your dog in your neighborhood or mine, if nearby. There are excellent walking trails and parks on the west end available to explore. We do not visit dog parks for health & safety reasons. ** Our property is not fenced, therefore, boarding is determined on an individual basis and your animal assessed to ensure a safe stay. ** I'm perfectly content to play & care for your animals according to your schedule and needs. I'll ask for clear instructions from you and that all supplies are readily available for use so we can maximize our bonding time. For working breeds especially, I enjoy a variety of mental & physical play, as well as scent walks. Frisbee is a favorite game of ours, and sometimes we engage in mental and/or agility work on our track. Snuggles & loves are always free!!

“Christina is responsible, reliable, and great with communicating during each visit. We had pics of our pets for each check-in and texts with updates. She watched our kitties on short notice over the holidays and it was so nice being able to enjoy our visit while our peta stayed safe at home. Would hire her again and again!”
