Dog Sitting Swannanoa

About: Hello there! I’m a dedicated remote worker and the loving owner of two sweet and precious pups. As a true dog lover, I understand just how important it is for your furry family member to feel loved and well-cared for so you have piece of mind. With many years of experience caring for dogs of all ages from playful puppy to wise senior, I provide personalized attention, affection and lots of fun in a peaceful home environment. Your dog will be a cherished member of our family with plenty of snuggles, playtime, walk time, snack time, nap time and gentle care. With the flexibility of my work schedule, I can provide regular walks and potty breaks to ensure your furry friend’s comfort and well-being. You can trust that your precious companion will be showered with love and attention during their stay. We look forward to welcoming your furry family member to our pack! As a remote worker with a lifelong love for dogs, I have seamlessly integrated pet care into our daily and weekly routines.

Working remotely allows for timely potty breaks, attention and love to our furry friends. Rest assured, your pet will receive the utmost care and be treated like a cherished member of our family during their stay. We love our furry company and make them feel very welcomed in our home! I have a fenced back yard and two sweet pups who get along famously with all dogs. Inside we have super cozy pet beds and a sofa that all dogs seem to claim quickly!

“Christine is awesome. She was a good communicator and very good with cats. My cat is very scared of strangers but she came out when Christine visited and even played with her. Highly recommended”

“I highly recommend Ana! I’m new to the area and needed someone I could trust to care for my shy cat, Littles, while I was out of state for nine days. He was still adjusting to our recent move and had been stressed by water intrusion issues and all the maintenance visits that followed. Ana was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and set up a meet-and-greet right away. Littles spent most of that first visit hiding behind the couch, but she was patient and determined to win him over. She sent daily photos and updates, and even checked my apartment for water leaks during heavy rain, which gave me so much peace of mind. Within a few days, Littles was curled up in Ana’s lap enjoying all the pets. When I got home, he was relaxed, eating well, and clearly had been well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking Ana again for my September trip and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, dependable pet sitter.”

I am a former vet tech of 2.5 years, worked and fostered for shelters for 5, and have always been the go-to friend for pet sitting needs of all kinds!

Happy to be here to help with your pet sitting needs! :) Fluctuating availability throughout the week for drop in visits or walks, full availability on weekends, open for long term pet sitting needs any days of the week! I am happy to offer a variety of care from drop in visits, walks, hikes, overnights, or anything my clients feel necessary and/or comfortable with!

About: Rescuing dogs — especially puppies — is the most rewarding feeling in life. The most important thing with our furry friends is consistency. If you're stricter with your dog, you need a sitter who'll uphold those rules, not let them slide. I've taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family for years, and I've learned that it's not about what I want — it's about honoring what the owner has built with their pet. I work with the public in my day job, so patience is second nature to me. Pets are no different. They need someone who can read their energy, stay calm, and meet them where they're at. I also love running and playing with animals. Exercise is huge — but I get that a walk isn't always about distance. Sometimes they need to run. Sometimes they need to stop and smell everything. I match their pace, not mine. I don't know if anything really sets me apart from other sitters. I just genuinely want to be there for the furry family member. My availability in inconsistent due to Firefighting but I will always respond as soon as I'm able too. I understand due to my schedule I won't the best sitter for if you need someone daily, but if you need someone to drop-in, walk your dog, or just need a night out, feel free to leave a message. Currently working for a fire department, schedule can be inconsistent. Great for drop in play times and walks. Days off from fire department can be great for unexpected care. Currently unable to have pets in home due to renting rules. Will make sure to confirm and follow all rules with you before accepting the job.

“Emmie: I’m so happy that you’ve looked after Brutus (I renamed him), for the last few days Rescue cats often don’t have a name and are just given one. Anyway, thanks so much, until next time.”

About: I have had a love for animals my whole life and been watching animals since I was 15. I know CPR and first aid for humans along with animals. I also have experience working at rescue shelters and humane societies. Spending time with your animals gives me the ability to de-strees while I can't have animals of my own, because of wanting to travel. I love animals like they are my own kids (if I had any) I give the best to them and think of their needs before even mine. I love their kisses and happy faces! I love finding their favorite places that they love scratches! I often times can be found even cussing on the floor with pets 😂Most of all I will shower your animals with kisses, walks and love! I am currently working part time and I have a flexible schedule making it easy for me to stop by randomly or stay long term as well as to not rush and spend quality time with your pets! When in my clients homes, I treat their animals and homes with respect and always leave them just as I found them. I respect what the client has as their animals schedule whether it’s cuddles, crate training, walks and feeding schedule.

About: Hi! I’m Izzy, and I’m the kind of person who will probably greet your dog before I greet you! 😂🐶 I’ve grown up surrounded by pets my entire life and have always had a huge soft spot for animals. I’ve cared for my own pets, watched pets for friends and family, and have professional experience working at a doggy daycare! Working at a doggy daycare gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, energy levels, and play styles. I’ve learned how to read body language, recognize different behaviors, safely manage groups of dogs, and understand when a pup needs playtime, space, reassurance, or a good cuddle. 🐕🩷 I absolutely LOVE getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pup is a crazy ball of energy who wants to play all day, a nervous little baby who needs extra patience, or a professional couch potato who just wants cuddles I’m happy to meet them exactly where they’re at! When your pets are with me, they’ll get plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, enrichment, and of course… LOTS of belly rubs. 💕 My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and spoiled while you’re away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your fur babies are in caring and experienced hands. I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they get all the love they deserve. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! 🐾✨ Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the week. Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where animals can feel secure and cared for. I also have experienced introducing pets safely, as I have four friendly dogs and three gentle cats at home who are used to meeting new animals. I always take time to ensure every pet feels comfortable and respected

“Lindsey did an excellent job taking care of my cat, Simon. She was incredibly professional, very responsive and seemed to genuinely care for him, routinely spending extra time with him each visit and sending lots of pictures and updates. The apartment was clean when I returned thanks to Lindsey (undoubtedly despite Simon's best efforts). I would absolutely recommend her to anybody looking for a responsible and caring sitter and will definitely use her again in the future!”
