House Sitting in Balsam Grove

About: I’ve had animals all my life. Several have been rescued as strays. I can care for an animal at any stage of life. I’m happy to walk dogs and snuggle cats. I am a homeschool mom and have plenty of time to give your animals the love they need. I can do weekday walks and daily check ins. Over night stays are possible as well. I can come to your house and meet any needs your animals have. I can walk your dogs, snuggle your cats or just keep your animals company.

“Monique was amazing! By the end of our ver dog was eating all her food and wagging her tail so I know she was getting comfortable! Monique communicated with us every day about how the animals were doing and was quick to respond when I had any questions. We're using her for thanksgiving week and I couldn't feel more comfortable leaving my babies with her!”

“Lillie took care of our dogs during a wedding, drove them to the venue when planned, even dressed them and kept them for us until the end of the celebration. She was reliable, easy to connect with the dogs and handle them. She was creative when problems presented themselves, I cannot praise her enough!”

“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: Caring for animals is something that runs in my family both my mother and my aunt are deeply involved in various rescues including but not limited to puppers, cats, even spiders of all shapes and sizes. We treat our fur babies like one of us and they are definitely part of the family. We will spend lots of time together walking through open fields and woods playing fetch if they are into those kinds of things I’m also ok with just sitting and sun bathing, we go fishing if the weather is nice. They will never have to worry about being alone or being forgotten or scared because I will be there any time they need. Lap dogs and cuddle buddies are always welcome !!

“Stacey was friendly, kind, and totally dependable! She arrived early and was wonder in watching our two dogs. Would definitely recommend.”

“Chloe did an exceptional job watching our Dane. He was dealing with an injury and needed extra attention, a cone and medication and Chloe met all of his needs. This was our first time using Rover and being able to travel with peace of mind that our boy was at home made our trip so much more enjoyable. We came home to a very happy boy and a clean house. We will for sure be using Chloe on future trips and recommend her to any of our friends that have pets.”

“Our experience with Constance was one of the best we had with Rover! Our dog is very nervous around new people. Our dog was particularly scared this time, we are unsure why. But Constance was extremely kind and patience with our dog. Our dog came around fast and was fast friends with Constance after all. She went above and beyond!”

“Leigh was such a pleasure to work with! From the moment we met her we knew we had met the person that had the capacity and skill to care for our furry companions. Leigh communicated with us daily and she was great on letting us know her plan for each day. She took our dog Tig on several adventures and even took our cat outside for a look around. We could tell by the daily photos she sent that the animals felt very relaxed and cared for. Our house felt very settled and clean when we returned and it felt nice to come back and reconnect with the animals. I would highly recommend Leigh and I definitely plan on booking with her again. If you’re looking for a great person to work with, book Leigh! You will not be disappointed.”

“First time using Rover and we had the good luck of choosing Heather. She was AMAZING with our elderly blind & deaf pug, so patient, kind and loving. She stayed at our house including overnight for 2 1/2 days, our first vacation in 6 months. We would not hesitate to have her take care of our girl again- great job Heather!”

“Justin is a great sitter. Communicated well and took care of our pups while we were traveling.”

“Julie was terrific, and she communicated well with me the entire time. My dogs enjoyed her company. I highly recommend her, it was a great experience.”

Michele Dowdy M.

“Johnnie was great. This was my first time having Johnnie keep Rocky, but I’ll definitely use again. She took great care of him and kept me posted on how things were going through messages and photos.”

“We had so much apprehension about leaving our 12 year old lab who suffers with anxiety issues. I’m so glad we found Lynsey. She played with him in the evening, took him on adventures appropriate to his age and stage, gave him frequent potty breaks and best of all provided cuddles in the evening. Sent us lots of pictures and updates. She took great care of our beloved Monty as well as our house. Thanks, Lynsey!”

About: I have taken care of puppies to senior dogs since I was a teenager.. I will love and care for your dogs like their my own.. I am working part time.. but I do have time in the afternoons from 4 until dark to walk and feeds your dogs and do over night sitting for your vacation time. When I am staying at a Clients home.. I will make sure to stay by the Schedule for their meal time meds if they take any.. Night time routine is important and I want to keep the pets on their daily routine.

About: I have been doing private pet care for a year, but we always had dogs growing up (from the age of 5, starting with Gibson the golden retriever/yellow lab mix!) and I pride myself on not just providing the best care for your pet, but loving them as if they were my own. I work remotely and am traveling the country living in an RV with my girlfriend, so my schedule is pretty flexible and wide open to provide care! I always make safety my number one priority for your pet, based on exactly what you desire and direct me to do while they're in my care. I LOVE sending photos and videos and going on hikes, walks, to the dog park, and introducing your dog to mine if you think they'll get along!

“Susanna was wonderful with our pets. She sent a check in picture each day to keep us up to speed, and when we got back our dogs were calm and clearly had been loved and cared for while we were gone. They didn’t even seem super excited to see us which is a great sign that they had a good time with Susanna. ?”

“Sam is A+++ … She is wonderful with our two small dogs; communicates well; and takes and sends wonderful dog pics. She also took great care of our home while we were gone, leaving it spic n span with clean sheets, etc. Sam is very friendly, helpful and conscientious, and her son is a sweet bonus offering even more gentle care and a second lap for our “lap dogs.” Thanks, Sam & B, for excellent, all-pro service and care!”

“Suzanne did a wonderful job managing this crew! The dogs were calm and tired when I arrived home, which is a very good sign for these boys. She communicated well and navigated some challenges from my end beautifully. Her calm yet energetic presence was a perfect match for my dogs and I would definitely book her again or recommend her to others.”
