House Sitting in Ballston Center

“Angela is perfection! Not only was my house cleaner than I left it when we returned after a week, but she kept us connected with our pups’ goings on throughout our time away. We are so thankful that our babies were in the great care of Angela and it enabled us to have a stress free time away :) thank you!”

“Rima is hands down the best pet sitter in town! She went above and beyond to care for my pets—my cats, dog, and guinea pigs were all so well taken care of and happy. She provided updates throughout the day, giving me complete peace of mind while I was away. What truly sets Rima apart is how much care she put into keeping my home clean and organized. She cleaned my place spotless every single day and even took the time to organize things, leaving my home in better shape than when I left it. Her attention to detail, both with my pets and my home, was incredible. It’s rare to find someone as reliable, attentive, and hardworking as Rima. I can’t recommend her enough—she’s truly a gem! Thank you, Rima, for everything!”

“Lydia is great. She is very professional. She met my dogs beforehand to make them feel comfortable and also took the time to learn their personalities. She spent the whole day with them which made them feel really wanted. We appreciated her spending so much time with them and caring for them!”

“Drusila was great with our two boys. She spent time with them each day and made them feel at ease while we were on vacation. I plan to use her on future trips she was a blessing and a pleasure to work with”

“Haley was the perfect dog sitter for our two pups. She anticipated questions we had before we asked them, sent lots of pictures each day, and went above and beyond with their walking and exercise schedule. She’s truly the best Rover person we have had, and we can’t recommend her enough!”

She is extremely reliable, kept in touch with us consistently, and we were very pleased with her stay. We would happily use her again.. We would recommend her to anybody!!”

About: Hi there! I'm Bree, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and loved when you’re away. That’s why I always communicate clearly with pet parents to understand their needs before taking up a job. I want the best experience for all parties. I can send regular updates, photos, and even a few videos to keep you in the loop! I'm currently working 3 days a week, usually Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays from 8 am to 3 pm at the latest. Pet care can fit into my schedule very well, depending on the needs and wants of the owners and pets. I am very flexible and can adjust accordingly Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet with the same level of love, respect, and attention I give my own. In your home, I do my best to keep your pet’s routine consistent—mealtimes, walks, play, and quiet time—because I know how important structure is for their well-being. I’m careful to follow your instructions exactly, and I always double-check details like feeding guidelines, medication, and home security (doors, gates, etc.). I also send regular updates if needed, so you know your pet is happy and safe while you're away.

“Jodi is amazing. Will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future ! Great communication and having her watch our pets was a perfect. We happily enjoyed our wedding knowing they were safe and loved.”

“Alyssa did a great job watching our two dogs. She fed them and let them out according to directions and they enjoyed spending time with her. We would book her again in the future.”

About: My grandfather and mother both have an animal science background so I was raised with a knowledge of animals and how special they are from a very early age. Because of this, I care deeply for the well being of your pet and treat it as my own. I think dogs represent the best of human kind. I believe that animals, specifically dogs have an innate power to heal and connect that is awe-inspiring. This ability I witnessed first hand growing up with a golden retriever and a German shepherd, the later becoming a therapy dog and certified pet partner for my family. Lastly, I have taken care of dogs of all ages and breeds from 1 month to 16 years, from 15-130+lbs, and done some by house sitting, walking, and boarding. I love all dogs, but am partial to bigger ones because that it was I grew up with since age 10. I currently work full time so I am available after or before business hours during the weekdays (9am-5pm, Monday-Friday) or anytime on the weekends to walk, visit with or house/dog sit. I can commute from anywhere in the metro Portsmouth region so dog/house-sitting is something I can do any day, most weeks. I will do my best to make your dog feel like nothing has changed in their own space (your home). On walks and during play visits, I will make sure they are comfortable, constantly watching body language for anxiety, fear, and exhaustion, etc. and will let their behavior dictate the pace, duration, where we go, and when bathroom breaks are needed. I treat walk and play time as their time and I am just there to make sure they have the most enjoyable time possible, while protecting their safety and health.

“I highly recommend Maria. She is trustworthy, responsive and reliable. She contacted me when Molly was shaking due to fireworks in our neighborhood to make sure this is typical. 8 forgot to warn her and was very happy she reached out to me. Molly had a wonderful time with her and was not as excited to see me as I expected. (because she was content with Maria). This was my first time with a house sitter and I was so pleased to return home with my house as clean as I left it. I will be using her again.”

About: I’ve pet sit for neighbors and friends since high school and always had a great time. I can be patient and am good with giving medications if required. I am planning on doing this part time while doing college online so my schedule is very flexible. I would also be open to doing weekly appointments. I typically try to be minimally invasive when I pet sit at others home and follow the directions left to me. I always try to get a dog I’m sitting for out every two hours unless otherwise told.

“Jenna took AMAZING care of our babies and home. She treated them like her own and we were so relieved knowing she was there while we were gone.”

“Cara was wonderful with my dog! She sent me updates, followed instructions I provided amd left the house spotless. I’d definitely have her back again.”

“Stephanie really understood how nervous I was to leave Baxter as well as his attachment to me. She took the time to send me pics and Baxter was snuggling her even before we left. I was able to enjoy my time away with no worries”
