Pet Sitting Swanson

“Jynette helped us out last minute this week by walking our dog, Kirby. It didn’t take long for him to warm up to her! She was timely and so friendly during our meet and great. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs for most of my life and already occasionally pet sit for friends and family. I used to work as a caretaker at a doggy daycare, and decided to continue pet care alongside my new job as it became such a fulfilling part of my life. I'm experienced with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and I'm experienced with a variety of other animals such as cats, fish, lizards, turtles, birds, and hermit crabs. My current work schedule follows the standard Mon-Fri 7-3:30, with most of my weekends and evenings open. Because of this, I'd be most suited for pets that are used to this schedule already. Otherwise, I try my best to stick to their current schedule for things like feeding and walks. I always feel comfortable meeting the parent(s) and pet before the booking. I can take care of all basic tasks and am very adaptable, patient, and reliable. I do my best to learn about each pet's little mannerisms and quirks so I can accommodate them the best I can while keeping them and your home safe. I want to make sure both you and your pet end up happy! I always ask that I'm given the pet's vet and an emergency contact as well, just in case.

“Marisa's drop in was fine. Vincent took to her immediately and Jules, was his usual "What type of human are you and do I want to be associated with you?" He came around a bit, but with him it takes more than one short visit.”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life, but I really fell in love with them when I adopted a rescue English bulldog named Gary seven years ago. He was an incredibly unique dog who came with his challenges in many ways, including leash aggression, fear of other dogs, and many health issues in his elderly years. He taught me so much about caring for our furry friends in many ways and prepared me for whatever they throw our way! I've missed him very much since his passing, and I'm looking to meet some new doggos to get my fill on companionship. I work from home, and I'm generally quite flexible to pop in for visits or walks. I usually only travel on weekends if I do at all. Having cared for a senior bulldog with myriad health issues, I am very attentive to diet, medications, physical challenges, etc. I am detail-oriented and take instructions seriously. I love to pet, play, and give extra love when visiting with dogs!

“Janini was fantastic!! She did a daily visit/walk. She showed up when she said she would and was in great communication for the 5 days she took care of my dog. I would highly recommend her!!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs as small as a mini pincher/chihuahua and as big as a bernidoodle. I am willing to make sure your pet has all they need and are well taken care of. I work from home Monday thru Friday. That gives me a lot of flexibility with my time. Saturday and Sunday I typically spend my days at home with the exception of going to the gym in the mornings. I recently moved back into my Richmond home, and have a large backyard that’s perfect for your pet. I have a large backyard that’s perfect for play. We’d spend a lot of time outside on the nice and sunny days. If I need to come to your home, I have a child that loves dogs. He is extremely gentle with them and enjoys their company.

“Jessica was fantastic with providing clear communication, including updates, photos, and how our pupper was doing! Very pleasant experience and would recommend/have again in the future.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, including my own pets and my professional experience as a kennel attendant at a pet daycare. I’m experienced with walks, feeding routines, baths, medication, and providing care for pets with different needs and temperaments. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to give your pet the same attention, patience, and love I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I plan my days around making sure each pet gets proper care, playtime, walks, and check-ins without feeling rushed. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. I pay attention to their behavior, needs, and any instructions provided to make sure they receive the best care possible.

“Danyelle is amazing! 10/10 highly recommend. I felt extremely comfortable. She is extremely flexible, my fur baby loved her, and she goes above and beyond!”

About: I work full time as a Registered Nurse, but I have a love for all animals and would love to hang with your fur babies on my days off. I have years of experience taking care of all animals, I grew up around dogs, cats, birds, horses, frogs, and snakes . We have an aussie named Blue that we love so much and I would love to help you out with your furry friends. I can provide references as needed but can assure you your babies will be in good hands. We can also work on training as needed, make trips to the dog park, or just walk around the block! My pup is really playful so we could also have play dates if you feel comfortable with that.

“Alyssa is absolutely amazing ⭐️! The pups love her. She is super responsible and trustworthy. She’ll be our go to from here on out. Thanks Alyssa!”

“We've hired Aubrey twice now, and she's fantastic with our three cats. She takes great progress photos, keeps everything clean for them, and follows instructions exactly. I can't imagine wanting to hire anyone else to watch our kitties!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for most of my life. My family and friends have always counted on me to care for our/their pets when needed. I have walked, bathed, fed, snuggled and played with them! I am a full time worker, five days a week, nine hours a day from 9AM to 6PM. And I also have a part-time job that I do on the weekends, but I am still open to any service I could possibly provide for you and your pet! I receive my part-time job schedule weekly schedule every Saturday, so communication is key. I will care for your pets in your home by providing them the care that they need, walks, runs, snuggles, playtime, you name it! If there is anything specific you want me to know or abide by please let me know and I will make sure you and your pet are left satisfied :)

“Robin is so great! She has taken care of my kitty many times and this time she came last minute when another sitter fell through. I always return home to a well cared for kitty and home!”

“Fergus (our cat) loves Virginia. He never purrs for anyone the way he purrs for her. When we got home today after being away for several days, my husband heard Fergus meowing through the door before we entered and said to me, "I pretty sure he's meowing 'Virginia! Virginia!' He's going to be so disappointed that it's us!" Virginia is great with Fergus, very kind to us, and has been just a perfect pet sitter.”
