House Sitting in Balsam Grove

“Grey was fantastic with my older dog, Luna. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog. He was incredibly communicative and sent me wonderful updates and pictures throughout my trip. I will definitely rebook with him!!”

“Amber is very caring and truly loves animals. She tended to our dogs and even bought a couple toys for them to keep them extra happy. She was attentive and took pictures as well as took them for walks for fun. We were in a wedding and our sitter cancelled on us last minute. She helped us for a second weekend in a row and was prompt in responding to our request. She is awesome.”

Kim H.

“Lillie was great with the dogs! She was reliable and communicative for our overnight booking. She was flexible when my plans changed and even tidied up the house! I left her detailed instructions which she followed seamlessly and she sent plenty of happy and cuddly dog pictures. She has quickly become my go-to sitter that I trust.”

“Ginger is a truly experienced house and pet sitter. We were so happy to have her at our home with our two cats while we had our little getaway. She is a wonderful communicator…from making arrangements, throughout the sit and wrapping it up when departing. We will hope for another time to meet up again. C & L agree.”

About: I have absolutely loved animals ever since I can remember and have helped take care of my families dogs, and I am confident in my own ability to care for your beloved pet as well! I help feed and walk my families dogs and of course play whenever they so cutely demand. As I am home from college for the summer my schedule is extremely flexible and I can’t wait to take care of your furry family members! I can feed and administer any oral medication needed with clear directions as well as take longer walks (2-3 miles) as I do at home with my own two dogs.

About: I have never not had at least two pets in my entire life, I have also pet sat multiple animals in the last few years, specifically dogs and cats, but I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, birds, rodents, invertebrates, and farm animals. I love all animals and also have experience admintering oral medication and specialized diets. I have experience with senior care as well as young animals. I don't mind specific requests and encourage specifics when it comes to the animal members of every family. I am currently available weekdays during the day, as well as some weekends.I do not currently have the ability to board animals in my own home. I can feed animals, play with, and walk them. I can clean Iitterboxes and administer oral medications as well as follow any specialized diet plans. I can stay in the home with your pet or take them out for a walk or to the park.

About: I've had all different kinds of pets throughout my life (cats, dogs, rabbits, ducks) - and have lived on homesteads with farm animals too. Most recently I've been full time house and pet sitting over the last year while traveling. I have completed 24 assignments with glowing off the charts 5 star reviews. House/pet sitting has been one of the the most special things I've ever done. You can be sure your pup will get daily walks in local parks or trails, playtime in the yard or the dog park, and lots of cuddle time too - there will be no shortage of affection and attention. Please note that my two children do accompany me on overnight pet sitting assignments. They are wonderful with animals and under my supervision the entire time, though please be sure your pets are comfortable and okay with children prior to sending a booking request. Thank you! I'm a work from home, homeschooling mother. I have curated our lifestyle such that we have flexibility throughout the day. I always welcome an opportunity to get outside with your pups for a walk and play time. Please note that I do overnight pet sits with my two children. I supervise them at all times, and they are wonderful with animals, though please be sure your pets are comfortable and okay with children prior to sending a request for booking. I regard pet and house sitting as an honor and responsibility. Caring for what people love and cherish most. I bring my heart and presence to each assignment, insuring your pets are always in a safe loving and enriching environment, with an attentive and trustworthy caregiver.

About: I’ve had several dogs of my own and lived with others: lab/pit mix, pits, two German Shepherds, a Great Dane, a friendly chihuahua, and an evil chihuahua. I’ve rescued dogs off the street, and am all around good with animals. I have a job that gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I do travel from time to time, which is why I don’t have a pup of my own. I can be whatever your dog needs. If he’s old, we can relax together; full of energy? We can throw sticks around and run. Small and skittish? Food is a great incentivizer to build trust. I’m looking to make some extra cash and enjoy the company of your pets. I will make sure your dog is happy, fed, played with, and comfortable. I only take on one client at a time, so owners do not have to worry about their pets interacting with another owner's pets. Your loved ones will have my undivided attention.

About: I am need of full time employment and have been pet sitting for friends and family for over ten years now. I absolutely love dogs and spending time with them because their love is unconditional. I grew up helping take care of my family's dog for about fourteen years and then helped raise a puppy who is turning ten in October. I enjoy being around dogs and playing with them so I feel like this is going to be the right gig for me. I am very positive and outgoing and love spending time outside. I'm currently unemployed and hoping to pick up as many gigs as I can to get a new routine started as I settled in a new location. I adjust based on the animal's needs. Some dogs I've watched have been incredibly more active and needing of attention than others, as well as cats. It's all about hearing what the owner needs for their pets while they're away to ease any anxiety they have of leaving them.

About: I've been taking care of animals from fish to Llamas since I was a young child. Nothing makes me happier than being with animals. I've been taking care of my friends' pets for so long, I figured I'd make help other folks too. I make my own schedule currently, so if we are a good fit, it's no problem to make my schedule work around what you need. I am more than happy to accommodate any specific requests and or needs that you may have. I trust your judgment and know how important it is to respect the wishes of the pet owner. Just let me know what you need and I'll be happy to do it.

About: Pet sitting and walking was Johanna's full time job in DC and Miami. Sam has been a pet owner and lover from a young age.

Sam is in college and has a flexible schedule as well. We both grew up with both small dogs and large dogs. We've had Rottweilers, Min Pins, Chihuahuas, Pitbulls and American Bulldogs.

When caring for your pets we're very mindful of all their needs and prioritize their care.

I care for pets in your home by following all the instructions you give especially when it comes to going outside, with a leash or whatever the client prefers me to use.

About: What sets me apart is my deep experience and intuitive understanding of animal behavior built over 12+ years of caring for pets. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and temperaments, from playful puppies to senior pets with special needs. I’ve administered medications, handled dietary restrictions, and adapted care to suit anxious or shy animals. I take the time to bond with each pet so they feel safe, seen, and loved. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and I always prioritize communication so you can feel confident while you’re away. I’m currently working full-time Monday through Friday. Fridays I am available beginning 12:30pm and completely open on Saturdays and Sundays. Feel free to contact me if a different time is needed! At my home, pets have access to a secure yard for supervised outdoor time and a cozy indoor space to relax. I live in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of walking paths for daily walks and fresh air. I also have a small dog who will definitely keep your pup some company. Whether it’s daycare, overnight stays, or boarding, I maintain a clean, calm environment with structured routines, lots of play, and individualized attention based on your pet’s needs.

“My booking with Kylie was great! We worked out a time for her to come meet me and my dogs before her scheduled house/dog sitting appointment and the dogs loved her right away. She was very responsive while I was out of town, even sending pictures of the dogs lounging on the couch and loveseat. I arrived home early and she prompted modified the booking to reflect that so Rover would change the amount due. Very pleasant woman and I will absolutely be using her again!”

Dave W.

“Jennifer was fantastic! She stayed overnight with my anxious pup while we were gone and made us feel completely at ease. Her thoughtful care and updates reassured me that my pup was in great hands. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog.”
