Pet Sitting Swanzey

About: I used to babysit for my friends, family membersand & neighbors. As well as I've had many pets of my own; cats, dogs guinea pigs, hamsters, you name it. I'm very good at handling bigger dogs. I'm very flexible when it comes to time and will work around your schedule. I'm currently home from college for spring break and my time is very open for both weekends and weekdays. My working hours start at 7am and go till 11pm. (But I can fluctuate with your schedule) I have a fenced backyard. And one very friendly small/medium dog, he's a little shy, but he gets along with everyone. I believe that our pet should be treated like family members. Walks, treats, attention and lots of love.

“Can I give Amadie 10 stars??? We had recently lost one of our kitties and had a 10 day vacation scheduled plus we had moved so needed a pet sitter for our senior, very shy kitty. Amadie was the perfect fit! Our senior kitty warmed up to her and she actually let Amadie pet her a few times. This was a first for anyone besides me or my husband! The patience, love and care she showed to Luna was beyond anything we ever expected. She also was so caring for our home and reached out with questions. Amadie communicated with us daily, pictures and updates. We will definitely ask Amadie to care for Luna again.”

“Alisha always does a wonderful job of tracking down our kitties wherever they are hiding and gives them all the attention they need. Her updates are great and we are happy to have her as a sitter.”

“Susan did a great job taking care of our 100 lb Maremma. She was on time for all the sessions, and spent plenty of time with our dog. Our dog really liked seeing her. We will definitely be using her again.”

About: I have been working as a veterinary assistant for 3 1/2 years. I am experienced in giving oral and injectable medications. I love dogs and cats of any size! I currently work 3 1/2 days a week and I’m doing pet care on my days off. I love spending my time meeting and taking care of new pets! I treat every pet like they are my own. I always send updates to the pet parents throughout my visits so everyone can be stress free!

“Emily was amazing with Pepper, my shy hound. Emily showed up promptly for each visit and was very thorough. Even her pre-visit questions were thorough. She is very caring and kept me very informed. I highly recommend Emily.”

“Amanda was amazing with our two cats! She dropped in to check on them, feed them, clean the box, and give one of our cats medicine. She always stayed to play with them and she went above and beyond to clean up after them. They loved having her around!”

Lisa L.

“Nadine was Fantastic, it took a few visits for our Cats to warm up to her, she kept the kids Litter box’s clean, and food bowls Filled, also Vacuum around their Litter Boxes, so their area was always Clean, the Bangel Brothers love her time spent playing with them! We are Extremely happy with Nadine, and will Definitely use her Services again when we travel out of town!”

“Nikki was amazing! She took great care of my cat Juniper while I was away. She kept me updated with pictures and notes for each visit. Highly recommend!”

Sarah S.

“She is wonderful”

Gian F.

“Very friendly, responsive, punctual, and took great care of our new puppy. Helping with all kinds of enrichment and engagement care while I'm at work. So helpful!”

Jennifer W.

“Jordan did a great job looking after my cat and home! A tree fell and took out power lines leading to my place. Jordan contacted Golden Valley right away rather than telling me about it and leaving it up to me while I was 3000 miles away. I won’t hesitate to contact her first next time I have to travel.”

Chris B.

“Super appreciate the last minute accommodation while we had to step out for a long day, as well as the pics and card update to know how our baby did while Jorden was with him!!”

Kellie F.

“Hannah is the best! She surpassed any hope or expectation we had when looking for someone to visit our two dogs while we were completing an out-of-state relocation complicated by last-minute schedule changes. It was great to know our best friends were in good hands, and they seemed to thoroughly enjoy their time with Hannah, who kept us up to date with pictures and notes and answered all of our questions. If we need a pet sitter again at any point, she is the first person we’ll look for, and we highly recommend her for your pets, as well.”

Corey A.

“Carol took Nora while we went to the botanical garden. She played with her and kept her safe so we could enjoy our time in the gardens. I wish we could take her with us every time we travel ?”

Mary B.

“Haley was great! She communicated clearly, quickly and took great care of my cat Callie. I have already booked her for my next out of town trip.”

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 always loved animals and have spent many years helping friends and family take care of their pets. It’s something that brings me a lot of joy. Over the years, I’ve looked after all kinds of pets — from energetic pit bulls and bulldogs to small dogs like Shih Tzus and even cats. Sometimes I’ve stayed in people’s homes for a week or two, and other times I’ve just stopped by for walks or check-ins. I’ve also welcomed pets into my own home when friends needed someone they could trust. I have a calm, friendly personality and get along well with animals, even if we’re meeting for the first time. I’m always careful to notice when a pet might be nervous or needs some space, and I do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. My schedule is very flexible since I work a per diem job and can choose when to take shifts. This gives me plenty of time for pet sitting, walks, or overnight stays. I’m usually available on short notice, too. The only thing I plan ahead for is care for my own cat while I’m away, but that’s easy for me to arrange — so it won’t affect my availability or reliability. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible — feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles just the way they’re used to. I make sure they feel safe and cared for while their family is away. If a pet stays in my home, I treat them like one of my own. I create a calm, cozy environment with plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions from the owner so each pet’s needs are met. I’m gentle, patient, and understanding of different personalities — whether a pet is shy and needs space or energetic and ready to play.

About: I’ve taken care of cats of many ages and kinds since I was very young and well I have not had a lot of experience with dogs. I am very friendly with them and know my way around taking care of them! I strive to be the best and most responsible pet parent | can possibly be, and when your pets are in my care I will give them the same dedication. I will provide your pets with all of the unconditional attention and love that they need while you are gone. Whether you have a fenced in yard or not, I will keep them safe with me! The safety of your pet is my number one priority. I always use the best practices, I believe in positive reinforcement, and do not use any cruel methods. I would like to know if your dog or cat has any behavioral issues such as reactivity, aggression, a bite history, etc. I would also like to know of any specific medical conditions that your pet has. I am currently available almost every single day of the week as long as booking is done three days in advance I am available anytime of the day necessary! I have two cats at home and feed them and clean their litter boxes every single night, I am able to clean and care for your cats as well and even bring toys or engaging materials to my clients house to play with the cats!

About: I’ve been a reliable source of pet care for friends and family, including midday potty breaks, walks, and check-ins. I provide consistent, attentive care you can count on! I work as a dental hygienist Monday–Thursday, and offer pet care Fridays through Sundays. My limited availability allows me to provide focused, reliable care on weekends. Pets in my home are always supervised in a calm, structured environment. I have one well-trained, timid dog. Due to an unfenced yard and nearby road, all outdoor time is on leash for safety.
