I am currently at university for my post-grad, so my schedule is pretty flexible! Pet care is integral to my routine, where I prioritize daily check-ins, ensuring they’re fed, exercised, and happy. I check in on a family friends pet on and off at the moment, adapting to specific needs, from medication schedules to special care routines. This consistent commitment ensures every pet receives the attention and quality care they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

In your home or mine, I provide top-notch care tailored to your pet’s needs. I ensure a clean, safe environment with consistent feeding, exercise, and enrichment activities. I follow any specific routines or instructions you provide, offering personalized attention and affection. The trail is near my home, so it's always fun (in past experiences) to go on walks/runs in the morning or evening with any pets I am caring for. Whether at home or yours, your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priorities. Photocards/Photo updates etc are usually shared through text based on owners preferences and speedier reliability!

Information Balbina A. would like to know about your pet

Please do let me know if there are any behaviour quirks I need to account for, and further key details; daily routine, dietary needs, medical conditions, favourite activities. Knowing their comfort zones and any special care instructions ensures I can provide appropriate care and maintain their well-being.

A typical day

A typical day with pets includes feeding them, morning walks or playtime, which can range from the multiple parks in the area or the trail, and interactive activities. Midday involves training or enrichment, depending on the pet and its needs, while the afternoon may feature outdoor adventures or games. Evenings include relaxation, final feeding, and bedtime routines, ensuring pets are content and comfortable throughout the day.

Really wonderful walker! She connected with Pepper, who is very shy and nervous around new people. Really really appreciate all her help, especially on a scorching hot bank holiday weekend when we had to be in London all day long. Sent us lots of pictures and even made sure Pepper's water bowl was full after the walk. Will definitely be booking with Balbina in the future!

Balbina took amazing care of Diego, we couldn't be more grateful. We've had a bad experience with a sitter before so it's extremely important to us that he is with someone we can trust. Balbina was incredibly attentive and made sure everything was adjusted as needed for him. Thanks so much

Balbina was amazing with Buddy, regular contact and pics. He looked like he was relaxed and very happy with his new friend. I’d recommend Balbina and will certainly be booking with her again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
