“Kadi was so sweet and attentive. You can tell there’s a lot of love in their home for their dogs and leaving Oliver felt easy. She kept me up to speed with how the stay was going. Easy to communicate with and was flexible. Oliver had so much fun and was exhausted after his stay.”

About: I’m have a full time job and I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays. I will be available after 5 pm onwards between M- W. If I’m committing to your pet I want to make sure that everything is right. I usually prefer house sitting than boarding at my place. I have 2 pet dogs of my own and I live in a 2 bedroom apt with plenty of space. That’s why I only take one pet at a time for daycare/boarding. There’s Clinton River trails that runs from my parking lot where I take the dogs quite a lot for their walks. If its a cat, the cat is completely separated from the dogs. Rest assured, your pet is in good hands and you can have your time. I live in an apartment with 2 dogs and cats are in a completely separated area from the dogs. I have a cat playpen set up and at night cats sleep with me and the dogs are in their crates :) I usually take my dogs out for a walk thrice a day. I can do the same with the cat or offer playtime with battery operated toys for the cats. Rest assured , their potty and eating schedules will be followed thoroughly.

“Swarada has done an incredible job raising 2 rescue dogs (one with an injured leg) back to full health and has given them a happy home. She has also personally taken great care of of some of my family's dogs! Watching sometimes 1 - 3 dogs at a time never with any issues or complaints always leaving the dogs sad to see her go and wanting to stay with her longer! From her history working with shelters and rescues to the pets sitting shes already done you would be hard pressed to find a better pet sitter then Swarada!”
