House Sitting in Swanton

“Rebecca was awesome! Couldn’t ask for anyone better! Neighbor said she was a clone of me with my dog! Nice to hear that. She stayed in touch with me everyday , gave me piece of mind while on vacation!!! First time leaving this dog. Will keep Becky in mind the next time for sure!”

“Chloe is an outstanding sitter! She took great care of our pups, communicated well, and we felt so comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. Will definitely use her again and again and again!”

“Oh my goodness, did we ever find ourselves a great sitter for our senior dog Ms. Gabby. I would give Ariana 10 stars if I could!! She was a great communicator, provided updates with pictures for us and really allowed us to enjoy our trip knowing that Ms. Gabby was getting all the love and attention she needed (or demanded). Highly, highly recommend Ariana :-)”

“I never have to worry about my dogs or my house when Makenzie is there. I get to travel and have fun and come home to happy dogs and clean house. She always goes above and beyond. Very grateful.”

“Bobbie went over and above with all my pets. Oliver is blind and still acts like a puppy so he can be a handful but Bobbie and her family treated him like one i or f their own. I could tell that he was super comfortable in their care. She took the best possible care of Dottie and Toby as well. Bobbie was awesome with the daily pics and updates and was very flexible with our vacation schedule. We’ll be using her on our next vacation for sure.”

“Mark was amazing with our two dogs. Our dogs went on several long walks, enjoyed playing in the back yard with their Mark’s dog and loved all the lap time and belly rubs that Mark gave them. Mark was great with sending pictures and videos of our puppies while we were gone, too. We’ll definitely pick Mark again and we’d highly recommend Mark to you.”

“Sierra watched out two dogs for the first time and we could not be happier! We received updates and pictures of our pups and felt very comfortable having her watch them! We will be using Sierra again!”

About: I worked at a pet care facility, my job responsibility was to watch and observe dogs in play groups like dogs who come for doggy day camp or dog in the play and stay group who come to board over the night or couple days. I also, work with dogs that do not get along with other dogs. I do have experience with cats because they did board cats at my job. I will also do play times with cats and clean out litter boxes. In the kennel I would clean dogs rooms, also wash dishes, help with feeding. I cannot wait to meet your pet! I love spending with dogs & cats cuddling etc. I career goal is to become veterinary technician either at a zoo or animal hospital.

“Gwen is a great pet sitter! She loves animals and takes good care of them. I never have to worry about my dog when it’s in her care. She sends cute photos while I’m out of town which I love 😀”

“Zachary was great. He sent lots of photos and updated me all throughout our trip. I was nervous about leaving my pups for five days, but Zachary really showed up for us. My dog, Pilot, is really anxious and warmed right up to him. He did get the 💩s while we were away, a nervous belly, but Zachary really took care of him and cleaned up every accident. It felt good not to worry. Thanks Zachary!”

“Alexa has dog sat for my 10 year old dog Bella as well as my new puppies. I have 2 Labrador puppies that she started pet sitting for when I brought them home at 2 months old. (currently 5 months old) She is great at listening to what my expectations are and interacting with the puppies as well as my older dog. She gives great attention to details, she follows through on her duties and I have been very satisfied with her. Alexa also previously dog sat my 8 year old Labrador, Max, before he passed away in November 2023. I have used her for a couple of years and never had any complaints. She loves dogs and cares for them and plays with them as if they were her own. I will continue to use her as a pet sitter!”

“I rarely leave reviews because it can be time-consuming, and I do not have a lot of spare time usually. I am making an exception here, though, because this pet sitter was fantastic. Tille came to my rescue when I found myself in urgent need of a pet sitter after a cousin of mine tragically and unexpectedly passed away in his sleep at the age of 45. I have five dogs, and they had all the vaccinations needed for boarding except the K9 Influenza vaccinations, which are a relatively new mandatory requirement. Due to this, they were not eligible to be boarded at any dog boarding facility, and there was not enough time to get them all the vaccinations due to the two-week waiting period in between shots. One of my dogs is very protective and takes his duties very seriously, and had scared away two other sitters I spoke with prior to finding Tille when trying to make arrangements to attend the funeral in Washington DC, some 475 miles away. I was skeptical at first about the qualifications she claimed to have on her Rover profile, but within 5 minutes of meeting her, I knew she was the real deal. Her previous experience in working with dogs has given her the knowledge to work with aggressive and reactive dogs at an expert level. During our first greeting, she had me take my dogs outside to greet her so they would not feel as threatened by a stranger coming onto their territory. She loved them up with treats and affection and quickly won over their trust. I work in IT and have many expensive electronics in my house, way above and beyond what you might find in a typical home, and as such, I was very apprehensive about the idea of letting a stranger come and live in my house for three days while I was not just out of town, but a significant distance away as well. Given the nature of the circumstances, though, and her demonstrated knowledge working with the dogs that I witnessed firsthand, I went ahead and rolled the dice. I got home about an hour ago, and the house was clean, the bed was made up, the trash cans were taken out, and all the lights were off, and all my valuables, some of which were in very plain view, were exactly where I had left them three days prior. I will be using her again in the very near future for drop-in visits when I start a new job that is hybrid in nature, and I will be using her in July when I am going out of town for a wedding. Tille not only did the bare minimum required to care for the dogs, but she went above and beyond, following all of my instructions to a T, and I know this because I have cameras in the backyard and watched her play with them numerous times while I was away. I truly cannot highly enough recommend her or thank her for coming to my aid when I found myself in a real tough spot!”

“Livie did an amazing job watching my two dogs at my house. She kept in contact with me the whole time I was on vacation. She sent a text daily with pictures and a summary of the days activities. She also cleaned up after them in the backyard. The dogs loved their walks as well. She also gave them meds and supplements as requested. Would definitely recommend and would book her again.”

About: I’ve cared for pets since I was very young! I currently have 2 cats, and a puppy. I would love to care for either cats or dogs. I’m passionate about caring for animals of all kinds. I currently work in healthcare part time, and would love to spend time with your pets on my days off, wether that be walking them or throwing a ball around! I love walking around the neighborhood, and will make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise. I can also stop by to let them out to play while you’re busy!

“Kathleen came and did a few drop ins while we were out of town for the day. she let us know after each drop in and was very responsive”

“Michelle is a wonderful dog caregiver, as well as house sitter. She was a great friend to our pup Nola during busy weeks of our lives and I trust her greatly!”

“Rachel is the best! She was so good with our Phoebe. She took her on walks, gave her lots of love, and attention. Rachel was easy to work with and asked questions to better understand the needs of our pet, as well as our expectations of her during her stay. We can’t wait to have Rachel back again.”

“Rani is an extremely caring individual with a great big intuitive heart. I have personally witnessed her go above and beyond to take care of any animal in need. I have no doubt she will make an amazing dog sitter as she has dog sat for me several times.”

“Cindie was absolutely wonderful to work with and Bubbles LOVED her. She stayed in my home with him and it all worked out perfectly. She is a seasoned sitter, so I didn’t have to worry about a thing while away! Highly recommend Cindie!”

“I was really nervous going out of the country for 3 weeks, leaving 4 cats behind. But Destiny put me at ease right away and then proved to be a dependable and reliable caregiver, sending me updates and pictures most days. She was even able to get my shyest cat warmed up near the end of the stay. She also applied their flea treatments for me. I feel really comfortable with Destiny as a pet and house-sitter and I hope for the opportunity to use her services again sometime. I would recommend her if you need pets looked after in your own home. Because of Destiny I was able to set my worries aside and truly enjoy my vacation.”
