House Sitting Swingle

“Kelly is so amazing! She is very communicative and sent us lots of pictures and updates on our girls which was so nice when traveling. Both our dogs absolutely adore her and from the updates could tell they were very comfortable with her! She truly goes above and beyond! We’ll definitely have Kelly come watch our girls again in the future!”

“Audrey was incredibly communicative in specialized instructions for my anxious dog! She was very caring of all the pets, and I would absolutely recommend her for any pet sitting services.”

“Nora was wonderful with our senior dog. Great communication, very sweet and the house was just as we left it. Would definitely book again. Thanks, Nora!”

“Dani is an absolute top notch dog sitter. She watched our dogs and our house over the week of Christmas while we traveled. She made sure to meet the dogs before that week, asked all the important questions, and was patient with our picky little Chihuahua. While we were gone she sent daily photos, clarified anything that wasn’t clear, and made sure our dogs were entertained during a rainy couple of days. She left our house clean and well cared for. I would ask her to dog sit again in a heartbeat.”

About: We are excellent dog, cat, bird, poultry, reptile, and fish caretakers as we have raised most of these, and a few years ago, we had a thriving Rover business taking care of folks' animal babies. We can take care of medications if your pet needs: We have administered medicine to most of the animals on our list, including oral medication for a rooster and injections for a snake. We have had some experience in training our current dog as a service animal. While we have not had the chance to care for farm animals on our own, we love them and have had experience being around them (horses, sheep, goats, cows, pigs, alpaca). Animals, plants, gardens, farms, and home-care are all in our wheelhouse and are the foundations to our lives. If you are looking to have your fur baby stay with us, we have a large home with a fenced backyard. Our German Shepherd loves to play with other dogs, and we take him and our guests to local dog parks or fenced fields to play ball and or frisbee. We take care of our guests exactly how we want our pup to be taken care of! I work part time remotely and part time I will need to be in the field. What that means is a lot of the time, I will be in the home, hanging with your furry, feathered, or scaly baby, working on my laptop. During the times I need to work outside of the home, my 19 year old daughter (who has been doing Rover with me since she was 11) will give the best care in my place. I have a thriving Airbnb business in my home for over a decade, so I have a ton of experience and mindset on home-care: I treat other folks' pets and homes as well as I treat my own. I make it point to keep my clients connected via photos and updates. If I am providing boarding in my home, our 4 year old German Shepherd will love to play with your pup. If I am providing sitting in your home, then my pup will stay home unless requested for a playmate in your home.

“Mehma was wonderful and we felt super comfortable leaving her with our young pup! She even tidied up his toys at the end of the night. :) Would recommend!”

“Carolina took great care of our pup while we were gone! She sent regular updates and photos throughout the weekend. Would definitely recommend her to others.”

“Jaimie was a very responsible and responsive overnight dog sitter. She followed all of the instructions and sent lots of pictures and videos to keep me up to date on what was happening on the home front. I recommend her to anyone who’s looking for pet care!”

“Suhani is such a wonderful person. She was active with our two dogs, walking them daily and was flexible and helpful when our travel plans got delayed. We came home to a clean house and she navigated our backyard project, sending us updates all the while dealing with not having a yard for the dogs to go out in. I highly recommend Suani, though we’d like to keep her for ourselves.”

About: I've had multiple dogs all my life (all shelter rescues of all sizes and temperaments) and cared for them up into their senior years. From unique feeding routines to walks/runs in the early morning, to fetch, tug-of-war, midday potty breaks, and cuddles, I've done it all! I've also raised and fostered several litters of rescue kittens to be adopted, from bottlefeeding to litterbox training and handling practice. I am well learned in cleaning litterboxes, prepping midday snacks, and providing love and attention for kitties of all ages. I provide runs and walks for various dogs several days a week and house-sit on occasion during the summer. I also drop in to play with, feed, or entertain dogs whose families are away for long periods of time during the day. Because each pet is unique, I ensure clear communication of expectations from the pet's family prior to any walking or sitting. I always carefully monitor pets for signs of stress, discomfort, or injury and am prepared to take action in the event of emergencies. I maintain regular communication with pet families when they're out of town (send pictures and updates of their pets) and organize my weekly walking schedule frequently to ensure convenience for both me and the client. As someone with pets and a love for animals, I hold myself to a high standard to make sure every animal is comfortable and thriving with any walk, run, or visit.

“Jenna was absolutely wonderful! Extremely communicative and kept us updated which I really appreciated. She left our home in tip top shape and our pets were very well taken care of. We’ve already rebooked her for her services! 11/10 recommend”

Maddie S.

“Liz's experience in the veterinary field made us feel safe leaving our senior dog for a week. Beyond that, Liz is very caring and kind and has the right tempermant for many pet personalities. She took excellent care of our sweet old dog and our slightly spicy kitty. I loved the updates and photos she sent throughout the week. We felt secure in leaving our pets in her care and thus could fully enjoy our trip!”

About: I have experience with pet sitting other animals including chickens, hamsters, and am a quick and adaptive learner!! Enjoyer of the outdoors and being out in the community. I work part time often early in the mornings and have a lot of time the rest of the day. My schedule does change from week to week but clear communication will always be maintained. I am extremely respectful of others’ homes and belongings. Depending on the service I will always confirm and set clear boundaries for both myself and the client.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to my 6 y/o pandemic pup. I grew up around dogs and have spent years helping care for family dogs. As a dog mom myself, I understand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for them. I know firsthand that sometimes it takes a village, and I love being able to help fellow pet parents feel confident that their dogs are safe, happy, and loved while they're cared for! I’m currently a PhD student studying for my qualifying exams, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend a lot of time at home. As a dog mom myself, daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable are already part of my everyday life. I’m able to plan my work around pet care needs and can provide attentive, consistent care throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I know being away from their owners can be stressful for some pets, so I make sure they get plenty of attention, care, playtime, walks, and patience while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I understand how important trust and communication are, and I aim to make both pets and pet parents feel comfortable. I’ve always had a good rapport with dogs and know how to work with different energy levels, sizes, temperaments, and comfort needs.

“Christina was extremely efficient and competent in taking care of our morkie and beagle for 11 days. Both dogs had some health challenges while we were away, and Christina handled everything smoothly with care and compassion. She kept in touch with us the whole time with reports and photos. And it was obvious she developed a personal relationship with each of our dogs. I would hire Christina again in a heartbeat. She is a joy to work with.”

“Susan was great and my dog immediately took to her. And then proceeded to follow her around like a little shadow for the rest of her visit. Thanks for you patience and cuddliness with my stage 5 clinger Susan!!”

Erin C.

“She went above and beyond for my kitten!”

April S.

“Rachel took great care of Archie! She sent updates with pictures every day and ensured he was well taken care of during our vacation. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to take care of their dog!”

Dalton B.

“Chrissy accepted our booking the day before and we were extremely grateful. She asked questions ensuring she had the proper instructions to care for Stark. We received updates & pictures throughout the care. She was very flexible with our schedules. We’ll definitely be booking again in the future!”

Daisey G.

“Cheryl was great with my little pups and worked around their schedule- they are early risers. House was clean when I came home and most importantly, the dogs were safe.”
