Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Swannanoa

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and multiple pets at once. I regularly cared for a household with five dogs, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I’m also a pet owner myself (one dog and two cats), so I truly understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I treat every animal like my own and focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m reliable, very responsive, and available for last-minute bookings when needed. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions, send updates/photos, and make sure you feel completely at ease while you’re gone. I work full time but I am remote, so taking time during the day is no problem in addition to availability in the mornings and evenings. I’m happy to provide care in your home, where pets are most comfortable and can stick to their normal routines. Whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or just companionship, I’m committed to making your time away stress-free for both you and your pets. I’m very respectful of your space and privacy, and I also provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m also happy to help with small extras like bringing in mail or watering plants.

About: I have taken care of all ages and levels of need dogs and cats (as well as a broad range of other animals like goats, horses, reptiles, guinea pigs, etc). From puppies to senior dogs and cats as well as dogs with extensive medical needs. I can administer insulin/shots and have also given medication in pill and liquid form. Whatever level of care your beloved pet may need, I would love to help! I currently have open availability and can shift my routine to meet your schedule needs. I have a working car if needed for emergencies and I love going for walks. I’m happy to abide by any house rules you have for your space and any additional needs you may have. I send pictures/videos of your furry family member at least once a day and prefer to send them more often if you’re comfortable with that! Typically, I also do plant care as well if I am pet sitting in your home.

About: I've owned and cared for all types of dogs. I've walked and cared for large and small. I've experenced easy, well trained to the most challenging. I love them all. I'm retired, so I can easily work in walks, drop-ins, and sittings during my days. Most days I'm available after 10 A.M., but I'm flexible. I only do care at the pet parent's house, and I follow the guidelines the pet-parent sets because routines are important for consistency. I will always respect your home.

“Sunni is an angel and I am extremely grateful for all her help! The fact that my shy cat came out during her visits tells me a lot about how kind of a person she is! I would not hesitate to request her again and I absolutely recommend her for anyone wanting first-class care for their fur babies! Thank you Sunni!”

“10/ 10 ? Amber did an amazing, very thorough job of taking care of our two cats while we were away. She documented every step ( feeding, clean litter boxes, taking out feces to trash) with pictures. She even cleaned up puke from one of the cats and made she they were feeling ok before leaving. We will be using her services again in the future. ?”

“Kylee was great with our pets! I hate leaving them at all, but sometimes it can't be helped. When we got home, we found the pets happy, litter box clean, & all the pet bowls washed. It's so nice having someone caring and trustworthy like Kylee to turn to when there's no other option besides leaving them behind. We'll definitely use her again if the need arises.”

I have a very friendly dog named stitch who is eager to play with your babies! When in thw back yard your baby will be on a leash to use the potty.

“Thanks to Car, we were able to enjoy our vacation without worries. She took care of our pets as if they were her own, sending us photos twice a day and telling us about our pets' day. We couldn't have found a better person than her. She's sure to be our pet sitter for a long time. Thank you so much, Car, for making our vacation worry-free.”

About: I am experienced, responsible, friendly and loved by pets of all ages. Get reliable pet sitting from someone who’s raised a Westie and wrangled puppies. I live and work locally in Lakeland. Available for midday walks and sitting evenings/weekends. I am happy to provide snuggles, walks, park trips, feeding and treats. I previously worked in a pet store providing care for puppies and I currently have a 12 year old Westie. She is very friendly & loves to play with other animals.

About: I have lots of hands on experiences in pet care by working with dogs of all ages and temperaments. I have volunteer experience with my local animal shelter, where I had to take multiple training classes in order to start working. I learned proper dog supervision, safe handling techniques, and how to teach young puppies basic commands. I've also dog sat for friends on many occasions. I grew up with dogs in my home my whole life and personally training our newest puppy now. Because of my shelter experience, I am confident in adjusting my approach to fit each dog's personality. I would love nothing more than to spend my free time away from classes to give your dog the love they deserve. As a college student, I am flexible in finding a time to care for your pet's needs with guaranteed availability after 9am on Monday, Wednesday, Friday with the occasional opening in the afternoon Tuesday/Thursday, just let me know. Weekends I am available anytime. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! (Please Note: Because of summer break, I will be unavailable until August. Thank you for your understanding.) I can efficiently follow instructions given, respect the privacy of your home, and ensure walks at your dog's comfortable pace. I understand dogs are like family and will treat them just like my own.

“Alberto was very responsive and was able to accommodate our last minute request. He communicated well throughout our puppy’s visit. We were very grateful for the last minute drop in visit. Will definitely use him again.”

About: I’ve had a dog since I was a little kid. I also have watched dogs for my friends. My two oldest daughters head off to college this August. My youngest daughter, she will be 12 in September, loves all animals, but especially dogs. I am looking for a way to have more dogs in our house for my daughter to play with. We have one dog, Marley. However, my mom lives next door and she has two dogs, Daisy and Zoe. They visit often. But when we are watching other dogs, they will not visit. Our goal is to provide a fun, safe environment for your pup while you are away. I am able to watch your fury family member any weekend during the school year or June/July over the summer. I am not available: July 6-9 After July 30, I am back at school. I am available to watch your fury family member Friday (after 3:30) until Sunday evening (anytime.) I have a pool for them to swim in and and fully fenced in area around my house. I have about 40 acres we can take leashed walks on if you would like. We do have a few cows and a horse on the extended acreage. My lab/beagle mix loves to play with dogs. She plays well with both small and large dogs.
