Cat Sitting in Swisshome

“We entrusted our two kittys with Abby while we were gone for 10 days. During that period, Abby kept us informed of her daily drop-in visits, including photos of our elusive critters. Upon our return, we found them in great condition, and they were not mad at us for leaving them with a then "stranger." Will definitely ask Abby to care for Larry & Bella the next time the need arises.”

About: I grew up in a retirement community, walking dogs for friendly neighbors—it wasn’t just about the steps, it was about connection. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all shapes and personalities (yes, even the occasional rogue ferret). Now, our home buzzes with two lovable goofballs—a Dutch Shepherd and a Rottweiler mix—and I co-trained my wife’s service dogs, so I know firsthand the patience and dedication it takes. My approach? Simple respect. I don’t use force or fear—just calm communication, consistency, and a few strategic belly rubs. Every dog deserves to feel safe and understood; that’s a philosophy I bring to every walk, visit, or boarding stay. Life is unpredictable—work trips, busy schedules, or just needing an extra hand. I offer reliable, judgment-free care for every furry family member, no matter their size or quirks. Trust isn’t earned —it’s built, and I’d love to build that with you. My time is primarily spent taking care of my disabled wife and our son. My schedule revolves around my wifes medical appointments and needs. I'm very good at scheduling and meeting appointments so long as they aren't an immediate request. I have raised dogs from pups to our current senior dog. Staying on top of their health and well-being is important. Dogs have needs and deserve to be treated fair and with consideration.

About: I have a yellow lab and a scottish fold cat that I love taking care of! I am obsessed with animals and have always taken my lab on hikes, walks, and taught him tricks for fun! I am a very active person and I try and spend all of my free time outside. I am home from college for the summer and I’m only taking a few summer classes online so I have tons of time to make new fuzzy friends. I have a fenced in yard, a crate, lots of leashes and dog toys and treats. I have a car and can drive to anyone’s home and to the dog and park!

About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I was a child. My love of all animals has led me to take in and help people care for dogs, cats, and various other pets both furry and scaly. I have experience caring for young, senior, special needs pets, and administering medications. I look forward to helping more people and their beloved critters. My schedule is pretty open to be able to help you provide loving care for your pets big and small. I am available Monday through Saturday. I care for your pets as if they were my own. Whether it be going for a walk/jog, playing in the backyard, lots of treats and attention, training, chasing toys, making nutritious meals, or just providing companionship I give only the best.

“Gwendolyn was so great with our cat. He has separation anxiety but her calm caring nature kept him calm and happy while we were gone. She is very attentive to detail and a great communicator. She was such a treat!”

“We are so thankful to have found Shallise. She did a great job taking care of our kitty while we were out of town. Our kitty doesn’t take to new people quickly but Shallise was very good with him and he was comfortable with her right away. She obviously takes her responsibility to her clients seriously. She responds to messages quickly and is flexible and creative in getting needs met. I completely trust her in our home with our kitties. She did an awesome job.”

“Adam and Krystina were so easy to communicate with and they took great care of my dog Nala. I'll definitely be using them again in the future!”

About: With over 10 years of professional housesitting and a lifetime of pet care, I specialize in attentive in home care, especially of seniors, cats, and puppies needing extra love and care. I rarely leave pets I’m sitting to reduce anxiety, administer medications reliably and treat your fur babies like my own. Responsible, experienced and always on time. 🐶🐱 I’m currently retired and do pet sitting full time. I’ve just moved back to the coast and am missing my numerous pets clients from North Carolina. I’m available 7 days a week so your pets are my priority. I do a meet and greet prior to your house sit so I can meet your fur babies, obtain their care routine(s) and cater to their specific needs.

About: I’m currently on my 9th rescue and most of my pets were adopted as seniors. Currently live with my dog Luna a pit bull, but I’ve had a number of breeds, and 2 cats Maximoose and Weeble. I’m open to puppies and kittens. I am able to administer meds, play with and keep your babies company, even overnight. I’m currently working part time and my schedule is very flexible. I live with my sister and she is able to comfort my baby when I’m needed for your fur baby. At the moment I cannot take pets into my home but I’m happy to do so in their own environment. I’m open to negotiating just about any kind of care. If I am unable to do something I will be up front with you about my comfort level. I want you to have what I have when I travel, a person that is dedicated to the health and happiness of your pet so you worry less and enjoy your time away knowing I got your back.

About: Ever since I was a baby, I have had a minimum of three pets in the house. As of right now, my family has three dogs, two cats, two goats, five ducks, and will be getting two little lambs to join our family in this coming month! I adore animals and love to just hang out and provide some love to them. I am 100% what you would call an animal person and I know how to care and support your pets. I’m at home right now after just finishing up my first year of college, and as I’m continuing to be a full time (online) student, I’m looking for a way where I can still make money but not be drowning in work. On top of that, I think being payed to hang out and love pets is one of the best jobs I could ever get :) I make sure that pets are safe and cared for at all times. As someone who loves animals, my top priority is making sure pets aren’t stressed out or scared in their environment. I would make sure that the home is loving and structured to make the pets comfortable.

“Amazing!! I always get nervous while leaving our pups but Jessica was great! Gave feedback after every visit and always sent pics. My pups loved her!”

About: I have 3 medium breed dogs(a lab, 2 collies). I love dogs and would love to take care of yours! I can visit in the mornings or later evenings. I’m avaiable most weekends during the day. On weekdays, I will be available during the morning hours before 11pm. If you would like me to pet sit, I’m avilable overnight to stay or visit mutilple times a day. I’ve been dog sitting and an owner for over 5 years. I have experience with older dog care and will be willing to take care of dogs with special needs and dietary issues. big breeds and multiple dogs are welcome. I will be willing to provide treats and toys for dogs in my care. I live out in the country so I have tons of free time to spend with my animals in a calm and relaxing environment and we do our best to soak up the sun this summer. I really enjoy meeting new animals and I plan on treating them like my own fur babies I have at home! Treats, attention, and play time!

About: Growing up in a loving home filled with all kind of animals helped me become the person I am now. Pets are our children and should always be cared for and loved. I currently work part time and would like to add more activities in my day to day life. Pet care is extremely important. On days off I do like to go on small beach hikes or have a day in which work perfect. I have 2 fur babies that are loved immensely and extremely sweet. My 9 year old Pitbull has been around extremely high energy puppies/dogs and although he wants to keep up he spends most times taking a nap in the back yard. I also have a 10 year old tabby cat who also spends most of the day sleeping but becomes very excited when it’s time for his meals. I have both a back and front yard…they are not fenced in and have not had any issues this far. Although I know my babies will not run I would not run the risk of that happening to yours. I promise before stepping out side your babies will be securely by my side the entire time. My husband also loves going on hikes and is a sucker for playing fetch.

“Renee was wonderfully with our 2 dogs.”

About: Hello! Thanks for taking a look at my profile. I joined up with Rover after having used the service several times in the past to find people to help me watch my animals at one time or another. I had great experiences and hope to be able to help some others out there with their pet needs. I am currently available to do stop ins, walks, and possibly overnights. Boarding may be available in the future I have always had dogs in my life, and currently have 1 senior female blue nose, and 8wk old blue nose pup, and a 5yr old pointer mix. Whatever kind of dog/s you may have, I likely have experience providing care for it. I have raised a litter of puppies to 10 weeks and have experience giving shots, as well as caring for senior dogs past 15yrs of age when they may need medications or help getting outside. My experience with cats is much more limited, but I am comfortable around them and not allergic. I also have experience with most common farm animals including- Goats- I own 2 Nigerian dwarf whethers Poultry- I maintain a small flock of free range chickens with roosters and turkeys with toms Cattle- Limited, but comfortable Plants- Extensive indoor and outdoor gardening experience, able to keep your plants alive without any worry If I can be of service to you or your animal, please let me know. Thank you for taking the time to read this far! I am working on my small farm, so my schedule is fairly flexible. For the most part, I should be available on short notice for the rest of the summer. I love my dogs as tho they were my children, and whenever your animal is in my care they will receive the same affection, devotion and protection as my own.

About: I have experience with small animals, exotics, farm and domesticated pets. My passion for caring for animals came after my soul dog passed away from aggressive cancer. This led me to honor his memory through work at my local humane society. I have cared for kittens and puppies through senior and hospice. I am able to dedicate myself to your pets needs physically, emotionally and medically. From playtime to cuddles and resting to education for your pet I’m here to do it all. I love caring for all pets, along with helping keep them stimulated physically, mentally and happy! I am a fear free certified animal care giver and enrichment specialist. I left shelter work recently to have more flexibility for my own pets and family. I love addressing behavior concerns including barrier reactivity, animal and people reactivity, fear aggression and any other concerning behaviors. My partners work gives me the flexibility to be a stay at home pet parent and travel when we are able. I have most days free for daily and/or weekly care. I am also available to travel if your pet is needing care while traveling with you. I have experience in caring and calming animals from everyday stressors to longer induced traumas. I use techniques to lower fear, anxiety and stress. I also give some very good kitty and doggy massages. Safety, mental and physical wellbeing is my priority. I want your pet to feel loved and secure as if they were my own. Working in an animal shelter for 3 years gave me the experience to see and understand so many different animals and behaviors. I’m committed to your pets success. Lgtbq+ friendly care for everyone and every pet.

“Carrie did a great job with my cat Tiger! She knows cats well. I appreciated her staying in touch texting me notes while we were gone. She left the house just as I had for her, which was spotless. We’ll definitely invite her back. She’s day to communicate with.”
