Cat Sitting Ballentine

About: I gained valuable experience working with sled dogs in Alaska, building patience, discipline, and confidence in handling high-energy dogs and maintaining consistent care routines. As a full-time student with a flexible schedule, I have consistent daily availability for drop-ins and walks, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care throughout the week. I will carefully follow all instructions, maintain routines, keep the home clean, provide attention and playtime, and send updates to ensure pets feel comfortable and owners reassured.

“All I can say is that Heather did an amazing job taking care of my moody but sweet Cali the Calico. She understood her attitude and gave her the space that she wanted. Heather is very sweet and trustworthy and I felt very comfortable with her in my home and with Cali. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much Heather.”

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs all of my life, I absolutely love cats and dogs, all animals for that matter. So in case you have another animal as well as the dogs, I am totally and completely willing to watch and take care of them as well. I am very good with instructions on how to take care of them in a certain way if you please. I will show them so much love and compassion, I will snuggle with them, and play with them until they’re satisfied or have no more energy left. I always make sure they go outside for potty breaks every so often. I will always make sure they are fed enough and if so fed the amount the owner desires. I will also make sure they get plenty of walks and exercise. I’m currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups or kitties! I’m available on weekends and weekdays! I am the proud pet owner of a three-year-old German Shepherd and two cats one 8 year-old and one 2 year-old. I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life so I know how to keep them entertained and loved as much as they need!

“Excellent! She communicated very well with updates after each visit including photos. She provided much needed peace of mind. Will definitely be booking Hannah again in the future.”

About: Animals are special creatures who deserve special care and love. I've cared for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits since I was old enough to talk. Specifically, I've been hired by many friends, family, and friends of friends to pet sit as well as house sit! I am a kind and strong person who has most experience caring for dogs in all walks of life, including administering medication and special care to a large and elderly dog with blindness and cervical spondylomyelopathy (Wobbler Syndrome). I myself have 3 cat children (an inseparable brother-sister combo named Biscuits and Gravy, and an elderly cat named Feeny). I most enjoy caring for animals in their own homes/spaces where they can feel comfortable and keep their known routines. I have an intuitive approach to pets and a deep sense of integrity and honesty. I consider myself lucky to interact with as many beautiful pet children as I can! I am currently available Monday-Friday for before work (any time before 7:30) and after work (any time after 5:30). I am usually fully available on weekends, unless I have some other engagements. I offer care in your own home to ensure your pet feels safe and has as little of break in routine as possible without their owners. I have the utmost integrity and honesty. I am a strong, astute, sensitive, and confident person who will care for your pet as my own.

About: My best friend of 15 years and her family have two wonderful dogs, a doodle and a lab who I have taken care of so many times. I even watched the doodle when she was just a few months old for about a week during a snow storm while her family was on vacation. They’re a handful but so much fun. I have also cat-sit for up to 3-weeks on end. Giving medicine, checking for packages, and updating if anything seems off. I am a graduate student with very flexible hours. I am happy to spend time with your pet while I study or just for personal therapy. I will make time for animals no matter what. I go above and beyond noting things like if the house temperature is uncomfortable for said pet. I keep them under constant supervision and won’t leave them alone for more than a few hours unless discussed otherwise. I am very thorough and will take extra time to make sure each pet feels comfortable and safe with a new person around them. I know what it takes to be patient with pets.

About: I have a dog of my own. He’s a labradoodle, just a little over 1, super friendly and good with other pets and people. I’m new to dog walking but I’m super excited to get started. I can be very flexible after 5:30 pm on the week days. I’m free on the weekends other than 11-2. On the weekends (Saturday- Sunday) I’m free besides 11-2 any other times work well for me to walk your pet or just spend time with them. Monday-Friday: 0700-0800 , 6pm-10pm I walk my dog atleast 4 times a day, he is crate trained however he romes free all day. He’s fed twice a day. With treats

“Kelly was AMAZING!!! Her timing was prompt & she went above and beyond my expectations. Working long shifts in healthcare leaves me so stressed knowing my furbabies are at home alone & knowing they got such good care from Kelly was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Seriously, I can’t thank her enough. For taking the extra time to walk her, making sure she got multiple potty opportunities, and the photo updates. Highly recommend 🤩”

About: Hi, I’m Janine! I’ve been pet sitting since 2017 and have built years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs through in-home sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I also have volunteer and fostering experience through Pawmetto Lifeline, where I’ve worked with animals of all ages, temperaments, and care needs. I’ve grown up with cats in my household my entire life and currently have 3 cats of my own, so animal care is something I’m deeply familiar with on a daily basis. This has given me strong awareness of routine, behavior changes, and the importance of consistency, patience, and trust when caring for pets in someone else’s home. In addition to cats and dogs, I have experience caring for a wide variety of small animals including rabbits, hamsters, and fish. I also keep snails of my own, so I’m very comfortable with unique care routines and smaller or less common pets. Truly, no animals are off limits for me! I enjoy learning each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m also experienced with administering oral medication (including my own cat who takes a daily pill), nail trims, feeding routines, enrichment, and structured walks for dogs of all energy levels. I work a regular 9–5, but I’m available for pet check-ins during lunch breaks and after work throughout the week. I am also available on select weekends. I work remotely on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which allows me to check in more frequently or stay with your pet during the day while working from home if they need extra attention or company. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable when their owners are away. I always follow care instructions closely and pay attention to routines and any behavior changes. Whether it’s drop-ins or in-home care, I aim to keep things calm, consistent, and stress-free. I’m respectful of your home, reliable, and will keep you updated with messages and pics so you always know your pet is doing well.

About: Hi! I'm Esther--your pet's soon-to-be new favorite human I have 3 years of experience working in doggy daycares, where I cared for dogs of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I've also spent about a year pet sitting, caring for dogs, cats, and other animals in home environments. I'm confident reading animal body language, which helps me understand how they're feeling and respond in a way that keeps them comfortable and respected. My top skills include creating a calm and reassuring environment, using a gentle and patient approach, and always being responsible and safety-focused. I'm kind, empathetic, and attentive, and I always treat every pet like my own. You can trust that your pet will be safe, happy, and well cared for with me. My schedule is fairly flexible, which allows me to work with a variety of pet-care needs and I’m happy to communicate ahead of time and find a schedule that works best for everyone. When caring for pets in their home, I make their safety and comfort my first priority. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any household rules their owner has provided.
