Dependable Pet Care for Pet Parents

I’ve cared and was raised around animals since I can remember. Growing up with pets and caring for animals for family, friends, and neighbors has given me experience with dogs, cats, fish, birds bunnies, and hedgehogs. I am comfortable with small, medium, or large dogs as I have had experience with all. Years back I had took it upon myself to start my own pet sitting business in my hometown. Families trusted me to care of their pets while they were away, whether that meant feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after them, giving medication, or simply providing companionship and attention. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior cats who require daily medication and extra care. Also, I have experience administering medication. I know how important it is to trust someone with their furry family members, that is my top priority. I have always had a passion to take care of animals and would like to use my experience again. I have a medium size dog of my own that I adore and take pride in training him and making sure he is always doing his best. I am someone who loves spending time outdoors and staying active, whether that means going on long walks, short strolls, or hikes. I also enjoy relaxing indoors, playing with pets, and providing plenty of cuddles and quality time.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, I strive for your pet’s safety and comfort, that is my top priority. I will work to keep pets on their normal routines to help them feel secure and stress free while you’re away. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and any care instructions provided by the owner. I treat every home with respect and ensure pets are always supervised, safe, and well cared for. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a quiet routine, I am committed to treating them with the same love and attention I would give my own pets. I also provided regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.

Our dog absolutely loves Svala and so do we! She was kind, respectful, reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure Miller was happy and well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter, and we’ll definitely be using her every time we need someone to watch Miller. Highly recommend!

Svala was incredible!! She took the best care of my two dogs. She walked them morning and night and made sure they were happy and cared for the whole time. She’s the best!

Svala is the BEST petsitter/petwalker. She has been helping me with my pets for years. She was great with my small French bulldog before she passed away, and is great with my current large mixed breed dog. She’s loving, patient, and cares about every animal that she comes in contact with. She is a pet owner herself, so trust me when I say your pet is in good hands with Svala.

Svala is one of the most caring, trustworthy, and dependable people that I know. Over the years, she has taken care of numerous pets of all types and many homes for long periods of time. You would be lucky to have her caring for your pets and/or your home. I wouldn’t think twice about leaving my dog in Svala’s care.

Before I take on caring for your pet, I would love to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite toys and activities, energy level, and any commands they may know. Also, I feel it is very important for me to know any medical conditions, medications, allergies, fears, whether they are comfortable around other animals or people, and any behaviors I should be aware of. The more I know about your pet’s personality and needs, the better I can provide a safe and enjoyable experience!
