House Sitting in Swanzey

“Amie was great! She helped us out in a pinch with a last minute need. She was great with our dog and sent lots of updates which helped put us at ease.”

About: Every dog I met I treat like my own. I have fostered many dogs over the past 6 years, along with taking care of my own active dog. With fostering I have been able to train and get each dog out of their shell to find their forever home. I am also very comfortable with any size pup. I am available to walk your pup nights and weekends. I would also be able to stop in if needed on my lunch break during the day for a walk. I am also available to pet sit any day of the week 🙂 Every pup I treat like my own. I have basic first aid knowledge so I can take the best care of your pup if needed.

“Grace was fantastic! She was warm, bubbly, and instantly connected with our dogs—they were snuggling with her before we even left the garage. She was incredibly flexible and kept us updated with pictures throughout the stay. She gave us so much peace of mind, especially with our 14-year-old senior dog. We’d love to have her back anytime!”

“Hayley is AMAZING!! One of my cats is very social and the other is shy. She got BOTH of them playing, brushed them, and made sure they knew they were loved on top of the bare minimum of feeding them and giving my old lady her meds. She even checked to make sure my hamster was still breathing while I was away since it was always during my hamster’s sleep time that she was there. Highly recommend. Will be using again if I ever am going away and she is available”

“Samantha did a great job taking care of my dog. She took Lilly for fun walks and gave her lots of love. She followed the instructions I left and asked questions as needed. I would be happy to have her dog sit again.”

“Tatyana is wonderful to work with and is super responsible and reliable. She is a great communicator and sends us lots of pictures of Sasha while we are away. We will definitely be reaching out to her again soon for more cat sitting in our home. She is the best.”

“Kayla gave our dog plenty of exercise and affection, communicated regularly and sent pictures. House was in perfect shape when we returned home.”

About: I have owned and cared for pets my entire life and I love every kind! I have an active household and I am always up for play, walk, or snuggles. I am a work-from-home mom, so I am literally always home. Work is flexible and non-demanding, so I will be able to take your fur baby outside throughout the day for walks and potty breaks as needed. I do also have four children who love animals too, so please be aware they are in the home while I am watching your pup. They are happy to join me for a walk and give lots of petting. I am typically up early in the mornings to catch the school bus, things relax during the day, then get a little busier at 4pm when kids and Dad get home. Dogs get long walks at this time and then head home for dinner, settling, and bedtime. I have two cats (they steer clear of dogs for the most part, but do enjoy snuggles if inclined), a Golden Retriever who is still a puppy, and a newly adopted Great Dane. We love to play! We play hard and sleep hard. My Golden, named Kevin, absolutely loves dogs and will run with them for hours. He’s very active, but understands that not all dogs are as rambunctious and energetic as he, so can give them their space as needed. Abe is your typical Great Dane, barks at anything in the yard, loves walks and running, and tries to lay on top of me and snuggle and much as possible. While we don’t have a wholly fenced in yard, we have a large front and backyard which I let pets run freely in. We have a *small* fenced-in kennel which we can use if requested, but I don’t usually leave dogs outside for long periods of time. We also utilize an invisible fence for my own dogs, but will only use this on boarders if specifically requested. I am always outside to accompany dogs, but if you have a runner, let me know and I can put them on the lead or keep them leashed while outside. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac, our neighbors are great, but we do live up against the woods and close-ish to Mt. Monadnock, so I will be cautious of off-leash activities if your pup is not accustomed to that. Indoors, we have only one room we gate off where I keep my work equipment and the kids keep their toys. Dogs are allowed on furniture and in beds if they want! We have lots of toys for chewing and playing, and we aren’t afraid of the occasional accident (with regard to ‘dog ate my homework’ to potty on the floor)! We also love hugs and kisses and don’t shy away from any-sized dog curling up in our laps.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for the past four years. I’ve house sat for many years which includes three dogs and a cat, recently for four dogs. I have two of my own. I love animals and I treat them like my own. I truly have a way with dogs. They respond well to me. I am currently in school through the end of May, but I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to be available in the early mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m very good at managing my time and staying organized, so I can reliably commit to pet care responsibilities even during the school term. Once May is over, my availability opens up completely, and I will be free at any time, including weekdays, weekends, and overnight stays. This flexibility allows me to accommodate a wide range of schedules and provide consistent, dependable care whenever it’s needed. I take great care when looking after your pets. Making sure to follow all instructions closely so your pets routine stays consistent and stress free. I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness by giving them plenty of attention, exercise and affection.

About: Dog mom for the past 8 years and recently lost my girl to cancer. I'd be happy to love on your pup while you're away! I'm a full time teacher so only available for pet care on weekends and breaks during the school year but have full availability in summer. I love having dogs in my house where they can have their own bedroom space or share my room. 1.9 acres next to the rail trail means lots of walks and time spent outside. I also love helping pets work on their manners and good training habits and am happy to help dogs with specific behavior challenges or needs.

“Emily exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I met Emily, I could tell that she had a genuine love for dogs. She was friendly, caring, and asked all the right questions to ensure she could provide the best care possible for my pups. During the time that I was away, Emily kept me updated with daily messages and photos, which made me feel so much better knowing that my dogs were in good hands. When I returned home, my dogs were relaxed and happy, which was a clear indication that they had been well-cared for during my absence. I was impressed by the level of attention and care that Emily had provided, from feeding my dog on time to taking him for regular walks and giving him plenty of love and affection. I would highly recommend Emily to anyone who is looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Her love for dogs is evident in the way she treats them, and she is incredibly responsible and attentive to their needs. I have already booked her for my next trip, and I know that my dogs are in the best hands possible with Emily. Thank you, Emily, for taking such great care of my dogs!”

“Yes, yes, Karen took great care of our pet, Cinder, and our home while she was here. Easy communicator, responsible, and kind. I am so glad to have found Karen and look forward to calling on her again!”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life. At about 5 years old, my father adopted my grandfather's two Beagles and they quickly became my best friends. Today, I have 2 dogs at home, one that's 17 and one that's 7. And still they're my best friends. For as much as I love dogs, it really does feel like they love me back. Whenever I go over anyone's house I hear " Wow he never behaves this well around people normally." Each dog is so unique and the most fun thing for me is learning what makes them wag their little tails! I work from home from my apartment and only have one roommate so I'm incredibly flexible when it comes to scheduling. I'm sure that I could make just about anything work given a small notice. I have a two room apartment and a kitchen. Playing and feeding is easy for me in the apartment, but I also have a park right near me, about a 5 minute walk away.

About: I’ve taken care of a tons of breeds of pups. I have taken care of dogs from puppies to older dogs as old as 17 years old. I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was little. I am able to walk, feed, play fetch, provide overnight care, and make sure your home is safe and sound while you need assistance. I look forward to meeting your pups! I’m able to provide care for your pups as I have a flexible schedule and am able to work around when you need assistance with your pups! I will care for your pets and give them attention constantly. I wake up early and feed them, and make sure they are all set for the day. I will snuggle with them and make sure they are safe :)

“Scarlet was great! Bailey is usually very anxious when boarded. We were so lucky to have found Scarlet on Rover. When we picked Bailey up other than a little acknowledgement she didn’t seem in any hurry to leave. That is huge! Would highly recommend Scarlet. All her pictures and updates while we were away helped us relax and enjoy our vacation. We were gone for a week.”

About: Hey! I'm Kaliyah, though I'd prefer to be called Lynx. I've always been an animal lover at heart. I had a lot of pets growing up. Since I was five years old, I've cared for cats, dogs, even geckos! I'm comfortable with all sizes and personalities, whether it's sassy or affectionate cats, playful or stubborn dogs, or anything in between! I know both cat and dog body language like the back of my hand. I have experience with seniors as well and am happy to learn whatever I need to keep your furry friend happy! I'm taking a break from school and work right now so I can focus on my IOP, which takes place 12-3 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Aside from that, I'm free any time of day, as well as flexible! I also plan on returning to school when possible to become an auto mechanic. I can't wait to meet your pets! I'm currently taking a break from work and school for my mental health so I'll have plenty of time to look after your furry friend! I currently co-own a great pyrenees with my dad, meaning I have experience with stubborn, large, long haired dogs. I live with several pets, meaning I know how to safely break up fights when necessary.

“Amanda was AMAZING for our house sitting booking. She took such good care of our pitbull and cat. She really connects with animals and they absolutely love her. Our cat, who normally hates strangers and always hides, was curled up on her lap by the first night. We will definitely be booking her again!”
