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.

“Ashley was great with all 3 of my kitties! They were being a bit shy and didn’t want to come around for dinner time, she was incredibly patient and even offered to come back later to check on them again. Highly recommend!”

“Emily did a great job taking care of our babies and even helped clean up some ants that found their way to the cat food! We will definitely be rebooking in the future. Thanks so much!”

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.

“Brittany was very responsive and helpful with cat and dog check ins! Very kind to keep me updated with photos and with issues in my house, would absolutely book again”

“Anabelle was such a help checking in on my girls while I was away for a week! Grateful for her care and attention to them.”

About: I grew up in 4H taking care of animals as one of my first chores. I had dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens/other fowl, mice, fish, lizards, and the sweetest sugar glider I trained to glide to me. I have experience with young animals as well as old with a range of disabilities and medical needs. I work part time and have a fairly flexible schedule to check in, hang out, and spend the night with your fur babies. I’ll usually need to leave between 4-8 hrs at a time but sometimes can spend the full day as well as the night at your residence. My client’s animals receive the care they want to receive while primary humans are away. If they need someone to play and enrich, I’m there. If they just need a snuggle buddy to not get lonely or stressed, I’m also there. I am used to clients with complex feeding schedules or high needs pets, just let me know what and when your furry dependents need! For my safety as well as your big fur baby’s, I cannot walk large dogs who pull on the leash or who jump onto standing people.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years and have experience with a wide variety of pets and personalities. I have extensive hands-on experience with small animals, especially rabbits, having cared for many of my own over the years and understanding their unique needs, routines, and behaviors. I also have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering routine care, or simply providing companionship, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I work full-time during the week, so I’m primarily available on weekends, with limited weekday availability depending on the timing. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I’ve cared for rabbits for over 15 years and have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and ages. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, litter box and habitat cleaning, playtime, enrichment, grooming, and providing plenty of love and attention. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine stays as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I carefully follow their feeding schedule, walking routine, medication instructions (if needed), and any other care preferences. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of exercise or enrichment, and lots of attention and affection. I also provide regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I have cared for family dogs and pets since I was nine years old, giving me over a decade of hands-on experience with diverse routines and temperaments. Currently working in hospital patient registration, I bring a Having a strong military background has given me a sense of responsibility, strict attention to cleanliness, and a calm, observant approach to every drop-in. I respect each home's established boundaries, focus on positive engagement and basic leash manners, and always make sure your pet gets fresh water, playtime, and reliable companionship while you are away. Pet care integrates cleanly into my weekly routine during morning and early afternoon hours, as well as select weekend windows outside my scheduled hospital shifts. Because I only take on drop-in visits within a close driving radius, I am able to arrive promptly at scheduled times, dedicate full attention to your pet without rushing, and easily plan recurring weekday check-ins or weekend coverage. I work every other weekend so there are times where I’m completely off and devoted to your pet :) I provide drop-in care exclusively in your pet's home, ensuring they remain in their familiar, secure environment. My background in healthcare reinforces my strict commitment to home security: double checking locked doors, securing gates, following exact feeding instructions, and keeping feeding and litter areas thoroughly sanitized. During every visit, I send detailed check-in notes alongside clear photo updates so you always have complete peace of mind while away.

“This was my first time with a drop-in visit for my pet. I am glad that Adrian was available to do this. I would highly recommend Adrian if you are looking for someone to trust with your pets while you are on vacation or a business trip.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and other pets, including feeding, exercising, grooming, cleaning living areas, and providing attentive daily care. I am comfortable working with animals of different sizes, breeds, and personalities and understand the importance of patience, safety, and recognizing changes in an animal’s behavior or needs. I am passionate about animal care and always strive to provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I’m working part time I have the mornings off I can come and take care of your pets! I’m off all day on Thursdays and Tuesdays. I also have the weekend off. I’m a very active person who loves to go on walks especially with my dog! I have a fence in yard we have four acres of land that we can take walks on. We also have a very safe neighborhood.

About: I have been dog sitting since I was 16 but have more recently gained professional experience in both a kennel and service animal training facility. I am open to dogs (and cats) of all sizes as I have both a 15lb italian greyhound and a 110 lb sheppard mix. I genuinely love animals so this is something I truly enjoy doing and your pets will be very well loved in your absence. I work from home full time and travel about once a month. Working from home allows me a bit more flexibility than working in office so don't hesitate to reach out with requests in the middle of the day. I have no issue following any instructions you have for your home. I have had experience kenneling both dogs and cats. I also love going on adventures with the pups whether it be a walk, car ride, or maybe even a trip to petsmart!

“On short notice, I was able to get Aaron to watch my housemate and friend for an extended visit this time. Once again, I came back to a happy cat - of course for the first 12 hours he meowed at me at how good Aaron was and why did I come back ... he loves his spa service: daily fresh litter box, water and food.”

About: I have been around animals since I was a young kid and have been taking care of other animals whenever needed! I love to play and hang out with all of them! I am in school but have a pretty flexible schedule everyday but mondays! I am able to fit in maybe a quick walk or visit on Mondays but the rest of the week I am more open for walks/playtime/sittings. I love to play with the animals but also make sure they are watched at all times and fed and watered according to instructions! I will keep dogs always on a leash and in a safe manner.

“Amanda was great, was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates while we were out of town! Would recommend!”

About: Background/experience in veterinary medicine. I am very comfortable with giving medication, taking care of special needs/senior pets. I treat every pet as if they are my own. I currently own my own equine business which means I set my own hours. I am a very active person so including other animal duties into my daily life is not difficult. I treat each pet as if they were my own. I would do everything I could to keep them comfortable in their own home while their owners are away. Even if that means sitting on the floor while they take a nap so they don't feel alone.
