House Sitting Ballantyne West

“First time using Rover and Karyna was wonderful. She kept me updated on how the dogs were doing. She sent photos and the communication was great. She did an excellent job looking after both the dogs and the house. I will definitely use her again.”

About: Growing up surrounded by animals and currently sharing my 2 homes with three dogs and a cat. My house’s are full of different personalities and energy levels, which has taught me how to read an animal’s needs quickly and provide the right kind of care. I know that every animal is different. Whether you have a reactive dog who needs a calm, patient hand or a senior pet who needs a gentle approach and a medication routine, I’m ready to help. From the endless energy of puppies and kittens to the quiet companionship of older pets, I have the experience to make sure your best friend feels safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I’m currently a college student at ECU! I’m home for the summer and have a part time job but schedule is extremely flexible! At home, my pets are family, and their well-being is my top priority. I manage a busy household with three dogs and a cat, which has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of temperaments-from high-energy puppies to calm seniors and even reactive personalities. I take a structured yet affectionate approach to their care, focusing on: • Routine & Reliability: Maintaining consistent feeding schedules and a clean environment. • Mental & Physical Health: Ensuring everyone gets the right amount of exercise and play to stay happy. • Individualized Attention: I'm highly observant of their unique body language, making sure I provide space or engagement exactly when they need it.

“Addy was amazing! She helped me out when I was in a bind and needed someone to house and dog sit for me with short notice. She saved the day!! She took amazing care of my dogs and my home! I’ll definitely be reaching out to her in the future to help care for my dogs!”

About: Hi there! I’m an experienced dog lover with hands-on care from puppyhood all the way through the senior years. My own dog has been by my side her whole life, so I’ve navigated everything from puppy zoomies and training to the slower, gentler needs of senior care. That means I’m comfortable no matter what stage of life your pup is in. ❤️ Since my dog is on the larger side, I’m very at ease with big dogs, handling leash pulls, playtime energy, and just generally being comfortable around larger breeds. Whether your dog needs an active walk, a calm cuddle session, or just someone who understands their routine, I’d love to help take great care of them! 🐾💓 Creating a harmonious balance between my furry friends and daily life is my top priority. With a well-structured schedule, I ensure that pet care seamlessly fits into my day, every day. Whether it's early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening snuggle time, your pet's needs will always be met. I understand the importance of consistency and routine for our furry companions, and I'm committed to providing them with a stable and fulfilling environment. Trust me to keep their tails wagging and their hearts content while effortlessly incorporating pet care into my daily joy-filled routine! Although I live in an house without a fenced yard, rest assured that your cherished pets are in the best hands. Safety and comfort are my utmost priorities when caring for pets, whether it's in my home or your own. In any situation I create a welcoming space with ample room for play, cozy corners for relaxation, and secure boundaries to ensure their well-being. Regular walks and engaging activities are integrated into their stay to provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation. Additionally, with my house being part of a secure community, your furry companions will enjoy an added layer of safety during their time with me.

“Alan was amazing with our high needs puppy. He sent multiple pictures a day of our baby playing while we were gone and kept us updated on his eating and potty. Alan was a respectful house guest and left the place clean and tidy. I would absolutely recommend Alan. He’s a dog person.”

“We were very nervous to leave our ten week old puppy for the night, but Walker did such a great job with him! She took him out to potty frequently, played with him, and sent us lots of pictures and updates. Our minds were at ease knowing that he was in such good hands. We will undoubtedly be using Walker’s services in the future!”

About: From growing up alongside my cats for 16 years to caring for my dog for the past 6, I understand how deeply pets rely on us and connect us to one another. Your pets will get the same steady love and comfort mine have always known. As a pet owner, pet care is naturally a part of my daily routine. I am also a recent college graduate with a flexible work schedule. Whether it’s drop‑ins or longer stays, I easily adjust my schedule to give each pet the attention and consistency they’re used to. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, I focus on making pets feel safe, relaxed, and at home. With 16 years of cat care and 6 years with my dog, I’m used to following routines, reading body language, and giving consistent attention. I stick to each pet’s normal schedule: feeding, litter care, walks, playtime, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and cared for wherever they are.

“Karleen was fabulous! Our anxious Goldendoodle seemed content while we were away and when we returned home. Karleen sent us photos every day and told us how our girl was doing, so we could feel at ease and enjoy our vacation. The house was spotless when we returned home. I highly recommend Karleen!”

Pamela C.

“Lisa is fabulous, she was so kind to both our pups and sent great photos every day. The communication was thorough and thoughtful. We will definitely be using her again in the future”

Kasey C.

“What a great experience with Madison. From the start, communication was clear and reliable, and it was obvious that Jake was well taken care of while I was away. I received updates and photos that gave me peace of mind. It’s not always easy leaving your dog with someone else, but this experience made it stress free!! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter to contact Madison. 👍👍👍👍👍”

Dale D.

“Julia was amazing with Barker! She was really quick to respond to our request, she communicated clearly and was very punctual. She sent updates regularly during her stay in our home which gave me so much peace of mind, she took care of Barker following all our detailed instructions and we came back to a very happy pup. I’ll definitely work with her again!”

Celia C.

“Sophia was absolutely wonderful!!! She stayed overnight with our dogs and took such great care of them while we were away. She was kind, reliable, and such a great communicator from start to finish!!! We loved getting all of the photos and updates, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were happy and well cared for. She took them out several times a day for walks, gave them lots of attention, and made sure they were comfortable and loved!!! We came home to happy, relaxed dogs, and we are so grateful for the care Sophia gave them. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!!!”

Jennifer S.

“Ann did a wonderful job taking care of my two pups while we were away! One of them is very anxious so I was nervous to leave them. She made me feel comfortable and sent lots of updates!”

“I haven’t taken a vacation in 5 years… I was a foster mom for Kittens when I lived in Boston, now living in South Carolina. I have several little fur babies that I don’t trust with many people they are my children. When I got onto Rover‘s website, I read review after review after review. Jill had all five stars and for very good reason. She’s very attentive to my animals, very kind, professional, took pictures every day of the babies, kept me in the loop when she was leaving the house and when she was in for the night. I hired Jill to stay for a week in my home while I was away and she worked her full-time job during the day. My mind and my heart was at ease thanks to Jill. She’s great!!!!”

Robin L.

“Ava is definitely welcomed back to help with Remy again. She communicated well, always arrived on time and Remy made a new friend.”

Dee

“Miles is wonderful. I felt very comfortable leaving our puppy and two cats in his care after seeing how they responded to him during our meet-and-greet. He is thoughtful and communicative—he checked in multiple times a day with updates and photos, so we were able to relax knowing everyone was okay. I would absolutely ask him to sit for us again.”
