A haven for your pooch!
Pet care experience
Have your pet come and stay and enjoy the scenery of Cougar Mountain! Many pets that have stayed here have found Nirvana. :D From young to old, all dogs are welcome! Our neighborhood has many parks and places for dogs to have fun. I am rarely the only person out walking the dog rain or shine. It is a quiet neighborhood and certainly is a great place to take the dogs exploring. Please note, I can only take dogs under 35 pounds and they will need their crate. I can make exceptions for special circumstances. About this sitter: Hi I am Swatee! I am a single professional. I work from home so my schedule is flexible when it comes to visiting or staying with your pets. As a house guest, I've received great reviews on Airbnb when traveling globally and nationally. I can water plants, pick up mail, give medication, and walk your dog as needed. I have also been know to send pictures of their day. If you are comfortable, I can also take them with me if I need to leave. I have taken care of several of my neighbors' pets both in my house and at their homes. The dogs have gone with me on trips and they have loved it! People have routinely noted that I have a great temperament with animals and put even skittish ones at ease. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all my life. I have always wanted to own a dog but my previous travel schedule made it difficult. I have taken care of several of my neighbors' pets both in my house and at their homes. The dogs have gone with me on trips and they have loved it! People have routinely noted that I have a great temperament with animals and put even skittish ones at ease.
Reviews
Swatee was wonderful. After our initial dog sitter cancelled last min, and no boarding was available (holidays) we found Swatee. She was available to check on our dog Demo, feed him and played with him. She sent many photo updates, and even brought along her dog Max so Demo and him could play together. We will be using her again. We couldn’t be happier!
Swatee was very caring for my dogs, was very understanding and patient with the care needed for my senior dogs. Great communication.
Swatee is wonderful for watching your furry little one. I have a senior dog who is used to a certain routine and place. Despite doing a “meet & greet” for him to be used to the new surroundings & playmate, he ended up being challenging after the first couple of days. Swatee was patient, kind, and communicative about what was going on while I was away out of country. She figured out solutions and cared for him above & beyond what would have been expected, including getting “doggie diapers” for him. If you want someone who is caring & wonderful watching your pet plus send you lots of photos so you know what they’re “up to”, I definitely recommend Swatee as your fur-babysitter.
Very helpful, trustworthy, and caring about our two pups! Thank you!

Information Swatee S. would like to know about your pet
My place is great for dogs under 35 lbs and who don't need a yard to run around in. I would like to know of any behavioral quirks (Things they like and don't like), medications, how many walks they prefer per day (or dog park visits), food allergies and preferences, or aggressive towards other people or animals.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks There are several dog parks nearby and lots of trails and sidewalks in the neigborhood. I can take your dog on my daily jog as well. Your dog's sleeping arrangement If you have a bed for him her, I set it up in the guest room or at the foot of my bed. Time I'll spend with your dog As required. I don't mind them coming with me if I have to leave the house or they can hang out right next to me when I am working. Time I'll spend with your dog I can spend time with them as required. They will have great company! 1 walk or dog park visit per day, and if I am doing overnight stays, a good amount of my time will be spent with your dog in the home. If you are comfortable, I when I do need to leave the house I could bring your dog with me as well. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule. Extra house-sitting services Yes, I would love to check your mail, water your plants, and any other small amount of maintenance your home may need while you are away!
