House Sitting Ballentine

“Chloe was great with our fur babies!! We got plenty of updates with pictures and videos. We will only have Chloe pet sit for us. She’s very trustworthy and great with communication.”

“Alexandra was absolutely wonderful with my dog. He’s notoriously sensitive to change—often refusing to eat and hiding when I’m away. But within just two days of being with Alexandra, he was out of his shell and eating normally. Her calm, caring approach clearly made him feel safe and comfortable. I’m beyond grateful and will definitely be booking her again for future trips. Highly recommend!”

“Stephanie always does a great job with our dogs! Our youngest is very playful when we get back, so we can tell he was played with while we were gone.”

About: Hi there, and thanks for checking out my profile! I’ve been on Rover for about a year and primarily take on housesitting roles or keep pets in my home, but I also have long term walking clients. I’m here because I genuinely love animals and have years of accumulated animal experience that really lends itself well to creating happy clients. I've had pets of all shapes and sizes since the 7th grade when I turned my dog into my science fair project (The Effect of Rewards on Dog Training). Since then, I've done obedience classes with one of my pups, worked with Australian Shepherd and Doberman rescue as a transporter and foster mom, and walked many miles with some cute pooches. I'm currently mom to one male cat, an Holland Lop, and one very typical male Golden Retriever. OH--and a seven year old human boy! I’m experienced in difficult animal behaviors such as separation anxiety and mild aggression towards other animals, potty training, medical emergencies (I am NOT clinically trained, but I’ve been through a lot of vet appointments between my pets and the rescues), and giving medication. I’m also a farmer and floral designer by trade, so I might covertly care for your houseplants as well. My work schedule is flexible, and I often work from home. I determine my own work schedule, so I can accommodate pet care most days and times. I’m very careful about not overcommitting myself, particularly when it comes to taking responsibility for other people’s pets. I offer in-home care for cat- and kid-friendly pups who get along well with other animals. Ollie the Golden Retriever will be sure to keep your dog well-entertained. He is 5 years old and still very "puppy," but ultimately, he’s a chill Golden to his core. The cat loves Ollie but are typically unimpressed by all other creatures. The rabbit rules the house.

“Janessa was amazing! She gave us detailed and frequent updates while we were gone. Our dogs are a little high maintenance but she handled them very well. Not only were our dogs well taken care of, but she left our house spotless! Definitely highly recommend Janessa and will use her in the future.”

“Lucas was great watching my husky! He sent lots of pics and videos and our dogs who seemed to have a blast playing together while I was away for the weekend.”

About: I have always had a strong passion for animals and have taken every opportunity to care for and support them. Over the years, I have provided reliable dog and cat sitting services, working with a variety of breeds and sizes. Growing up in a home that always included pets has given me a deep appreciation for animals and a natural ability to care for them with patience, attention, and love. I would love the opportunity to provide your furry companion with the love, care, and happiness they deserve. I have a very flexible schedule and am currently available at a variety of times. With clear communication regarding dates and times needed, I will be able to promptly confirm my availability and ensure I can meet your scheduling needs. Every animal is unique, and I tailor care routines to best fit each pet’s individual needs and schedule. I believe clear communication is key to creating the perfect care plan for your furry companion. I always prioritize dedicated playtime and, depending on the pet, provide walks and outdoor time to keep them happy and active. I am highly flexible and committed to meeting the specific needs of every animal in my care.

“Suzanne was great! My husband and I were in a bind and needing a sitter for our Chihuahua almost at a moments notice. She listened to his needs we explained and was very thorough with any questions she had. We will definitely be using her again.”

Cheryl V.

“Emily was fantastic with our pups. We are new in town, and it’s always hard to find someone to trust with your fur babies. She spent a lot of time with them and really gave them all her attention and put us as ease.”

Kristen S.

“Ken did a great job managing my super anxious, big baby Chewy. He communicated well and allowed her to take her time to warm up. Throughout the short stay, Ken provided updates with pictures which gave me peace of mind knowing Chewy was taken care of. I could not be happier with the experience and will be booking again in the future. If you are looking for a responsible, caring, and reliable sitter, Ken is your guy. Highly recommend.”

Susan J.

“Alina was wonderful! She communicated with us regularly throughout the week, asked thoughtful questions when needed, and made sure everything was taken care of for both our dogs and our home. She was friendly, reliable, and our dogs absolutely loved her. We were so grateful for her care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”

Trisha C.

“Katherine M. did great with our older Jack Russell terrier mix and his younger buddy Finn (straight haired labradoodle). She let them out twice a day at our home (potty, food, play and love). They seemed very happy and all the picture updates from Katherine were showing them loved and well cared for. We plan to use her again and have already recommended her services to our Realtor.”

About: I've been helping take care of dogs for friends, family, and neighbors since I was a teenager. I've owned 3 dogs myself over the last 15 years - ranging in age from puppies to seniors - and have been right by their side every step of the way. I'm also the one in the neighborhood always looking out for strays to help the reunite with their family. I currently work full time during the week, but I work remotely Mondays and Fridays, so my schedule is more flexible for walks those days. Weekends I am usually open. I am available to pet/house sit most days with notice, but if it is a weekday, I will need high speed internet available for work, and Tuesday - Thursday I will usually be gone from approx. 9am - 6pm for work unless I can arrange otherwise. Safety is first and your pet's safety will always my number one concern. Let me know any special situations that you may have for your pet!

About: 30+ years loving and caring for all types of fur babies! I've been around animals most of my life so it is second nature to me to take care of and love on them! Do you want someone not just to feed but also love your pets? I am currently between jobs and as such an available 24/7 at the moment. I have recently applied to some full time jobs, so that may update soon. In home the pets stay indoors unless needing to potty. We have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room to roam and play. At times when we are out of the house the (dogs) would be on the covered back porch with water and full access to the fenced in yard.

“Carley was amazing! I highly recommend her! She was professional, on time, and checked in on my dogs multiple times a day. Carley checked in with me multiple times a day and sent me multiple photos. I felt very comfortable knowing she was taking such good care of my boys. I will definitely book her again!”

“Carol was very sweet and attentive to my younger, skittish dachshund and older, blind dachshund.”

About: I have many years of experience taking care of every different kind of animal. I’m here to take your dog on walks, to play, feed your pet if you’re gone, care for them overnight, at your place or mine! I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, and all of your smaller pets as well. I’m extremely flexible to care for your pet during the day for walks, feeding, play time, as well as overnight while you’re gone! I currently do not have any pets in my home, making it a safe environment for all of yours! I enjoy getting to spend time with your best friends and will treat them with the same love and care as if they’re my own.

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 have a very flexible and open schedule at the moment, so I am available for daytime, nighttime, weekends, as well as longer-term sitting, if required. 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.

“Allison was great. She provided updates with photos and our pups were obviously comfortable with her. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her again when needed.”
