Pet Sitting in Porter

About: Book now before I update my prices on September 20, 2025! Scroll through my photos to see the backyard your pet will get to run around in! I have 2 years experience volunteering and fostering pets at my favorite pet rescue organization and the humane society. I have 5 years of experience caring for my brothers 3 shar-pei’s (ages 1-3) whenever they’re away, which is on a regular basis. I also have experience caring for my sisters senior stray cat that she took in and adopted. I have experience in potty training puppies and will wake up in the middle of the night if needed. I also have 4+ years of nanny and childcare experience with one family of 3 children so you know I’m also trustworthy with housesitting and with children as well! :) if you have any questions, please let me know! I am currently a stay at home wife with no children. I currently moved here because my husband is in the military so I have all the time in the world for your fur babies. I like hiking and going on walks to play Pokémon go so taking dogs on walks would fit right into my schedule! I love playing fetch, cuddling and teaching tricks when I spend time with pets. I verify that the floor is clear or debris and small objects to avoid a choking hazard, thus I often sweep because safety is a priority of mine. I live with my husband who also loves animals and constantly have his support and help. I encourage gentleness in dogs and always give them affection.

“Rain was absolutely amazing! Followed instructions, was there every day that we asked and kept us updated on our cat and dog. Definitely recommend!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life, all breeds and sizes. I currently have two miniature golden doodles who are full of energy and ready to play! I have a large fenced in yard and two friendly dogs who are looking for some new friends to play with. I will care for your dogs just as I do my own! I am now a stay at home mom so I am home full time! My toddlers are happy to welcome new pets in to play with and love on them all day! I have a large fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. Your dog can run off energy in our yard along with going on walks with us.

About: I have grown up with dogs around my whole life, from the puppy stage up to the old age. 3 years ago I got a dog of my own with that I fully got to learn how to care for. With that administrating medicine, long walks, puppy stage and training I have gotten to learn. I would fully treat your dog as my own and make sure they are the absolute most tail wagging version of them selves wether that be playing fetch, going on a long walk, dog park or even laying on the couch I am ready for whatever it is!! I am currently working Monday-Friday, the latest I work is 3pm I would always be able to take time off if needed if I have a week ahead notice! I offer whatever you would like, if you want your pup to have a long walk, a play time in the backyard, a trip to the dog park, or just a friend to hang out with!

About: I love walking and running. Being outdoors as much as I can when it’s nice out! 🌞 I pay a good attention to details and often like to double check things. I do whatever is asked of me. I always do my best and with honesty. Accept same day bookings as long as I don’t already have something planned of course! Don’t have kids or personal pets of my own. Just family pets. If I have to be gone for more than what the dog is allowed to be alone. Then I will go back and check on them and let them out for a quick potty break. I’m also looking for a full time job right now. So I’m not booking anything for more than 2 weeks out. Sorry for any inconvenience. Right now I’m flexible and my job is flexible. I only work 2 days a week in the summer. During the school year, I will be trying to substitute teach more base on the need. But I would be gone no more than 8 hours. I walk the dog on side walk or on the road if it’s a busy neighborhood. I feed and give your dog water. Also medication if they take any. I also play with your dog if requested or I see the need.

“Kristina was great!! She took great care of my cats and there was not a single issue! I will use her again!”

“Cher is amazing. We’ve booked her twice now. She goes above and beyond and provides updates. Our travel plans changed quite a bit due to weather and she was flexible and easy to work with. I never like leaving our cat when we travel, but it makes it easier knowing she is in good hands.”

“Kelsey was great with our dog and cats. She showed up on time, took pictures and told us a little about their day. She took great care of our babies!”

About: Ever since being a young little girl, I have cared for dogs and they have a special place in my heart. I grew up with a yellow lab and took great care of her. As an adult I am the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. I have watched small family farm taking care of goats, horses, dogs, and outdoor cats too. I have more experience with mid to older dogs than puppies, but I have also helped take care of puppies too. I am currently searching for a full-time position; therefore, I have flexibility for during the day for potty breaks or walks, evening care, and overnight stay at your house. I am unfortunately renting currently and have a no pet policy so I cannot board at this time. Your pet is to be treated like my own. I follow the owners lead but I love playtime, indoor or outdoor, walks by leash and harness, and cuddles and loves. I only give treats if that is what the household wants. I wish to keep the routine as similar to what the animal is used to.

“Very detailed with Hanks and let me know everything was going on and if anything seemed different so he wasn't afraid to call and double check everything with my pup. Highly recommended”

“We loved Lily! She was so personable and took very good care of our little Lucy. She sent cute pictures and was very communicative. We're very picky on who watches her just because she's 15 and very hard of hearing. But Lily did not make us worry one bit that Lucy was in good hands. I will not hesitate to contact her again!”

Andrea E.

“Melissa is great and really helped me out on the fly when something came up with my scheduled sitter. It's obvious that she loves animals and does an awesome job taking care of them!”

About: I’ve taken care of my friends dogs. My brother is a manager at an animal shelter and I’m the first person he goes to when he needs a sitter! I would love to care for your pets daily! I do DoorDash, so I am available M-F all day, even last minute if needed! I am very good with all animals, and can train as well! I am quite active and will make sure that your pet is loved and cared for, as well as making sure they have exactly what they need, as you would do yourself.

“Maddie is wonderful with my dogs. Have used her twice and have scheduled two more in near future. Thank you Maddie.”

Claudia L.

“Sydney was excellent with our two dogs! She made them feel comfortable and took care of their needs very well. She sent photos and summaries after each visit and was really quick with her communication. Our schedule shifted a bit due to our travel plans, and Sydney was flexible with all the changes. We will definitely keep her in mind for the next time we need help with our dogs!”

About: I have been dog sitting for approximately 10 years for all different dogs. I treat all dogs as my own and welcome them into my home! Neighbors, friends, and strangers have all relied on me to take care of their special animals while they are away. I am open to walks, taking dogs to the park, or to animal friendly stores. I am also willing to give bathes! I am very active and would love to be part of your dogs daily exercise routine! I work 3-4 days a week so my days off vary and am able to be home all day on my days off of work. I also have great availability to walk dogs all day long if you need your special pet to get exercise while you are gone. I love to exercise, and enjoy taking dogs on walks to many different parks. I have a fenced in backyard that dogs are able to play in and a safe neighborhood for walks, with many dog parks. All dogs will receive the exercise they need.

About: Hi, I'm Lexie. I am high-masking autistic, which for me means that I look and sound pretty "normal" but my brain is structured differently. My special interest is dogs! Mainly behavior but also history, breeds, care... Anything dog. I am a dog-trainer-in-training currently pursuing certifications that will help me teach dogs with behavioral issues that the world is ok! I am experienced with multi-dog homes that need "crate and rotate" care, "hands off" care, puppy care, and if you leave instructions I could do just about anything- I am not bothered by reptiles, amphibians, non-flying (pet or feeder) bugs, although I am nervous of birds. I'm very detail oriented. My background in home healthcare ensures that your home and pet(s) will be respected, and I am comfortable administering oral or topical medications. My availability is from 9am-5pm Monday-Thursday, Fridays from 8am-3pm. On Fridays, my 5 year old is home with me and will likely accompany me to drop-ins. She is dog savvy (for her age) and is respectful of dogs and cats, but since she is small I can only visit cats and well-mannered pups! I am a fan of cooperative techniques. I would rather spend 15 minutes strategizing how to entice "Fluffy" back in their crate than try to force them. For potty visits, I prefer to clip a long drag line to the dogs harness or collar- just in case they don't respond to a recall from me, or if there is any chance at all they might make a break for it! That way, we can still play and have fun, but with a safe guard in place. For walks, I will always want to specify if you are wanting a structured walk or a sniffari, or a combination. Structured walking is only available to dogs that already know how to walk on a loose leash. If you are interested in loose leash walking, that is something we can work on! For feeding or medications, I will need exact instructions! How much food, what you use to measure it (example: 1 full scoop with the blue cup on the counter, 8oz raw thawed in fridge, fill up the black kong, etc), and amount of supplements or extras. For oral meds, please specify if it needs to be "hidden" and what to hide it in (wet food, pb, etc.)

“Thank you for being dependable for Corrie’s mid day walk. I had peace of mind knowing you were coming each day.”

About: I've always had a dog growing up that I loved and cared for. When I turned 16, I started dog sitting and walking. I have cared for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. I do work full time Tuesday to Friday. So I'm mostly available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I may be available on other days too if you reach out to me with more details (approximate location of your home and/or how often your dog would need to be let out). I am extremely responsible and I have been trusted by many people to take care of their dogs. I can do drop in visits and sitting at your home.
