House Sitting in Swale

“Neveah was great! She took great care of the dogs, communicated clearly, and was flexible when we had some flight issues. We would definitely book with her again.”

Colin M.

“We are so happy to have found Mackenzie! Her calm demeanor is perfect for our boy and she is very in tune with what he needs. It was a hot weekend and she found ways to keep him entertained inside! Plus she left our house in great shape - clean dishes, washed sheets and towels, etc. We are already looking at booking our next trip with her so we know Jet will be in good hands!”

Maggie & Dylan H.

“Libby had great communication, and great energy when she came to meet our dog before the first booking. While we were away she was good about sending updates and photos, and our house felt great once we returned.”

Hannah M.

“Robin was super easy to communicate with. Warm and loving. She updated us about our two dogs. We have an older one, who needs To move slow and a younger, big baby, with lots of energy. She took time to meet both of their needs. Thanks Robin!”

About: I am passionate about connecting with animals, people, new places on the Earth! I've been housesitting, farming and studying herbalism and health coaching for over 15 years, and I am a verified/vetted 5-star sitter on another international pet-sitting site. I have also worked as a trained naturalist/wildlife guide and vet tech, and have extensive training in the biology, care, track and sign of mammals. Housesitting/animal care has offered me a wonderful opportunity to include animals in my life now that my own two Aussies have passed. I love meeting and getting to know your lovable pets! I love to be healthy and don't smoke anything :) I work part-time as a home health nurse with a very flexible schedule. Therefore, it's easy for me to incorporate pet-walking and housesitting into my schedule, offering lots of attention, love, and exercise/activity to meet the needs of your pets. From caring for domestic pets (dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, mice) to farm animals (chickens, ducks, goats, sheep, horses), I love to create safe and loving environments for the animals and to foster trusting relationships with them. Many of my housesitting experiences have been longterm and return clients, with some assignments lasting up to a year. Often they have included garden and farm maintenance (paid). I pride myself on leaving a home as tidy as I found it (often even more sparkly :)

About: My family and I always had dogs and cats, even bunnies! I love animals and taking care of your babies would be an honor. I also have experience dog sitting for my friends. I am a preschool teacher but I’m hoping to fill my days off taking great care of your pets. I’m looking for house sitting and dog walking opportunities. Caring for pets in your home or a client’s home depends on the type of service you provide (pet sitting, dog walking, boarding, etc.), but the goal is always to keep the pet safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine.

About: I have had pups all my life, of many different shapes and sizes. I have lots of experience caring for elderly pups as well training puppies. I am comfortable with big dogs as much as I am little ones. I recently lost my dog of 20 long, happy puppy years, and am eager to put all the extra love I have to give into your pup. I have trained countless dogs to walk well on leash, if that’s something you need help with. I am also comfortable with big off leash (or on) hikes, if that’s what your pup prefers. I have a 90 lb bernedoodle puppy at home who delights in off leash adventures. If your dog needs socializing, we could all go together! I work part time and attend graduate school remotely, so I’m able to spend ample time with your beloved pets! My husband stays home with our dogs when I’m pet sitting, so not much need to leave once I’m there. I am very cognizant of escape artists and all sorts of mischievous puppies and kitties. I am very communicative with all of my clients; I’ll send pics and texts or calls if you prefer several times a day (unless you’d rather be left alone!)

About: 5 months of volunteer experience in a private shelter in Romania, taking care of 80+ dogs at any given time. Recently adopted one of the dogs from the shelter. Dogs and cats have always been present in my family. On M/W/F, at 8AM-2:30PM, I attend massage school in Portland. On the days I go to school, I do have periods of time, early morning and early evening, to check on your fur babies. Aside from that, my free days, Tue/Thur/Sat/Sun, are fully open for whatever frequency is needed to check on your animals. I have a fenced yard with two dogs that are social. Occasionally there is a cat present. I’m fully comfortable taking your dogs on walks, playing with them, or just sitting and keeping them company.
