10 Min From Disney! Pup Sitter 🐶💞

Hi, I’m Catherine! 🐾 I absolutely LOVE dogs, and I especially enjoy caring for small dogs and puppies. I know how much our pets mean to us because they’re family! ❤️ That’s why I treat every dog in my care with the same love, attention, and patience I would want for my own. Location: 10 minutes from Disney Springs, Seaworld, and Discovery Cove. 15-18 minutes from all four Disney theme parks. 16 minutes away from Universal Studios! I have a home with a fenced backyard and pool area, giving dogs a safe and comfortable space to play, relax, and enjoy some fresh air. I love playing with dogs, keeping them entertained, and making sure they get plenty of attention throughout the day! Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a more relaxed adult, I like to keep a close eye on them and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, happy, and have all of their needs met. I also have a small 11-lb Maltese named Dixie who is very friendly and loves making new friends! 🐶💕 I’m currently accepting small dogs only, and I’d love to get to know your pup! If you have any questions or would like to chat about your dog’s needs, feel free to send me a message. 😊

Doggy Day Care • Sep 20, 2026

Catherine was great with our baby. She only cares for small dogs which made us feel comfortable since our girl is only 8lbs. The location is perfect. We will definitely book again!

Doggy Day Care • Sep 05, 2026

Catherine is the sweetest!! We dropped off our elderly shitzu with her for a day at Disney. She was very polite and professional, accommodating, and easy to coordinate with. We appreciated how well she cared for Oliver, welcomed him into her home, and cared for him. Extra plus- her home is in gated /secure community right near Disney!

Catherine was a delight! She is very efficient, kind, and compassionate with my fur-baby! She provided pictures and videos to show how much fun Daisy and her dog, Daisy, were having. Catherine made my mini vacation much more relaxing knowing she was in great hands!! I would highly recommend Catherine!!

Catherine is amazing! She is so sweet and attentive to my dog who typically is very skiddish around strangers. She warmed up to her before I even left, and then sent me pictures and videos multiple times a day of my dog so happy and having the time of her life. The peace of mind I had knowing my pup was exercised and happy while I was away was priceless. Catherine also has a beautiful home on a lake with lots of outdoor room to run and play. I will certainly use her every time I go out of town.

We will definitely use Catherine for our puppy again. She sent pictures and videos for us and communicated very well with us. Our puppy seemed very happy and comfortable with her.

Schedule

I work from home with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time throughout the day to care for pets. I’m able to give them frequent attention, take them outside for play and potty breaks, and make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for while they’re in my home!

Safety, trust & environment

I care for every pet as if they were part of my own family! 💞 I have a fenced backyard where your fur baby can safely play, relax, and get some fresh air. I also have a small, friendly 11-lb Maltese who loves making new friends and will be happy to keep your fur baby company! 🐶💕 I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, supervision, and lots of love throughout their stay.

Pets

A typical day

I love keeping dogs happy and entertained with plenty of playtime! 🐶 We can play fetch, run and play in the fenced backyard, have supervised outdoor time, and enjoy lots of cuddles and attention. I’ll also make sure they have plenty of opportunities to relax and feel comfortable, with activities based on their personality, energy level, and what they enjoy most!
