Kacy and Justin are such awesome people!! They took care of our dog and two cats while we went on vacation. Our dog has super bad anxiety issues and is a little rough around the edges, but they were so incredibly patient with her!! They also kept us updated with pictures and videos every time they came over. If you are looking to find somebody to take care of your animals, I highly recommend them!

Super duper dogwatch trooper! Provided regular updates and timely pics. Great attention to detail, remembering little quirks I told her about our dog. I’d say even nicer things, but I’d rather keep her a secret ;)

About: I grew up with dogs and cats. I am an animal lover, and since I was a child I felt a need to help animals as best as I could, whether it was a bird who couldn't fly, an abandoned kitten, or a lost dog. As an adult, I trapped and found homes for several stray cats, I got a dog from a rescue group and had 16 wonderful years with him. My fur baby died last year and since I am not able to get a new dog, I would love to care for other people's dogs and cats whenever I can. I also understand how hard it is to travel and leave your fur babies behind. I had to do it for many years with my dog, and I cried every time I had to leave him, even if it was with a trusted and loving sitter. Stay assured that your dog will get all the love, exercise, and attention he/she needs. I have a 5 year old and two older kids (12, 15) so your dog will need to be OK around children. I am a teacher. I work from 8:30 to 4:00 M-F during the school year. I will be off for all holidays and in the summer. If I am watching a dog for a long weekend, I can go home for lunch and let the dog out. Dogs are never left alone for more than 4 hours. I live in a townhouse and I have a small fenced yard with a grassy area behind it, but I also love to walk them around the neighborhood. My kids love to help and play with the dogs too. Your dog will be allowed everywhere in the house and will be part of our family during his/her stay. My problem is that I get attached to each dog and it's always hard to say goodbye!

About: Hi! I’m Genevieve! I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals and have been pet sitting and dog walking for about 13 years. Larger dogs are definitely my specialty, but I grew up with small dogs as well and am comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have extensive experience with rescue dogs, high energy breeds, and dogs with behavioral or special needs. I adopted my own pit bull from a euthanasia list and have spent years working through reactivity and behavioral challenges with her, which has given me a strong understanding of canine body language, patience, and maintaining consistent training routines. I’ve also worked with groups of dogs in shelter and pack environments, including living and working at a remote animal shelter in Greece. I’ve had five cats of my own throughout my life, so I’m comfortable caring for cats as well. I also grew up around farm animals and have experience caring for horses, donkeys, chickens, and other animals. I believe good pet care goes beyond the basics. I’m happy to dedicate whatever time is needed to make sure your pets are well cared for, mentally stimulated, enriched, exercised, and, of course, very loved. Whether they want to play, explore, practice their training, or simply have some company, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at! Pet care is currently my primary focus, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate everything from daily walks to occasional overnight stays. Because I'm actively searching for my next full time position, I have plenty of availability to give pets the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as normal and stress free as possible while you're away. I'll follow your care instructions closely, pay attention to your pet's body language and individual needs, and provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. I treat every home with respect and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. My camera roll is already full of pictures of my own dog, as well as my friends' and family's pets, so you can expect no shortage of photo updates while your pet is in my care!

About: We’re a dog-loving family with a dog of our own, and caring for animals is part of our everyday life. We treat every dog like one of ours, with attention, playtime, and plenty of affection.

With one of us working from home and the other a teacher, our home runs in a relaxed and organized way. Dogs get regular walks, outdoor time, play, and plenty of interaction throughout the day. We keep things predictable enough for dogs to feel comfortable, and flexible enough to meet their individual needs. We value your dog’s safety and comfort. Our home features a spacious fenced yard for fun play and exercise. We’re attentive to each dog’s needs, energy level, and boundaries, and we take time to ensure everyone feels comfortable.

Shelby was fantastic. It was a pleasure to meet her briefly ahead of the planned visits. She took time to connect with the pups so she wouldn’t be “stranger danger” to them, asked about likes and quirks, and from the pics, they had a blast with her. Super communicative and we had a great, worry-free time knowing they were in her care. Thanks, Shelby! We’ll be booking again!

About: I understand that leaving your pet alone can be extremely stressful, but there’s no need to worry! I absolutely love animals and I have the patience to work with any - big or small! I promise to provide the same level of care to your pet as I would my own. I am a high school teacher, so I am currently available only on weekends. However, for the holidays and during summer break I typically stay local so if you are going to be traveling please take me into consideration! I am very comfortable working with dogs in their homes. If they need to be walked, I can easily handle putting on a leash and picking up after them. I am also comfortable handling any toys, food, or medicine your pet may need.

About: In highschool I earned a certificate course completer in pre-vet, and competed in the statewide Future Farmers of America (FFA) competition. While there I learned how to properly administer oral, otic, ophthalmic, and injected medications. I truly love and care for every animal I meet! I always try to make them as comfortable as possible by recognizing their body language and tending to their needs. I've owned two cats for over 13 years and have owned several other kinds of pets like fish, freshwater snails, and leopard geckos too! I will be going into college late august, so I have all the time in the world to take care of any animal during this summer! While in a client's home I will try to clean up any mess a pet will leave behind and try to make the animal feel as safe as they possibly can. As a cat owner I have enough patience to move mountains when pets act out and will remove them from any situation they feel stressed or fearful in.

Rachel was great with our dog & cat. She was punctual, reliable, and our fur babies took to her so quickly. She sent me so many pictures of them cuddled up on her so if you believe that a dog is a good judge of character, then Rachel is the best. We will use her in the future & would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Adrienne took great care of our cat for 4 days while we were away on vacation. She regularly sent us updates, photos and even a video! Also, everything was left very clean despite our cat’s continuous efforts to through all his litter out of the box :). We highly recommend Adrienne and would love to use her as a cat sitter in the future! Many thanks to Adrienne!

Delores is the best! a week before we were going to go on a beach trip, my fiancée and I found out our 12 year old cat was diabetic and needed insulin shots. Thankfully we found Delores who was exceptional with our cat. Insulin is a very time specific medication and she came everyday during the time stated, administered his insulin with no troubles, gave him many cuddles, and brought in our many packages (lol). He also had to have his inhaler once nightly and she was great at making sure he got what he needed! She was communicative and left detailed reports. We felt so much more at ease knowing she was watching our boy! Highly recommend her to anyone!

Justin is awesome. He cares for my kitty any time I’m away - very attentive to her needs well beyond what I outline for her care. For example, noticing that despite having a water fountain she likes still her water bowl, so he refilled that even though I’d said not to worry about it. He asked follow up questions to make sure Maggie was well cared for, and got great pictures of her, which showed he was clearly laying on the floor to hang out with her because she’s not much of a lap kitty and doesn’t tend to jump up on chairs or anything to make it easier to pet her. In addition, he kindly brought in a package that was delivered during our absence. Also, I have a severe food allergy that he is careful to accommodate while caring for Maggie the cat. Finally, it’s a huge plus and great to know that if needed, Kacy can step in if Justin isn’t available for some reason. Love the team of Kacy and Justin!! Recommend.

We had the best experience working with Jenny. It was our first time working with her for a trip where we wouldn’t have cell phone service for the entirety. We didn’t need to worry at all because Jenny took great care of our cats. We have four cats with specific eating instructions, one of whom hides from strangers. Jenny followed our notes exactly with no issues and got our scaredy cat to be her friend! We will continue to use Jenny for all of our pet sitting needs. Thank you, Jenny!

Francesca was friendly and easy to communicate with, and ensured all our kitty's needs were met, including giving our fur baby lots of affection. Francesca followed our instructions, brought in packages that arrived, and sent detailed Rover cards with lots of good pictures and detailed updates. Our fur baby can be on edge after we get back from a trip, but she seemed normal and happy when we got back.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Ballenger Creek

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ballenger Creek on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,452 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ballenger Creek. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ballenger Creek. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
