House Sitting in Porterdale

“Catecha was hands-down, the best decision we made for our Sobo! Given this was our first experience using a sitter, she made us feel so comfortable and communicated with us the entire length of our trip. Her skills and knowledge as a trainer is apparent in the way she interacted and bonded with our baby. 10/10 would recommend her and she will definitely be seeing our family again. She also left our home in mint condition and even helped correct some of Sobo’s behavioral issues. Her patience is unmatched! Thank you again Catecha !!”

“Excellent pet/house sitter. I know my cat Sean was so well taken care of and my home was left absolutely picture perfect. Getting pictures of Sean while gone was a bonus that made me feel secure and happy. I know I will be using Kira again in the future, great job”

About: I’ve taken care of an array of dogs since I was a child. Calm, engaged, and fun dog mom. Teacher full time needing a summer gig. I currently work full time as a middle school teacher. I want something to fill my time over the summer. What better way to do it than with animals? My current dog care happens in the morning and afternoon/evening. I currently have open availability aside from a few pre-planned activities. I have a large unfenced yard. I have an older spayed female chipoo that is friendly with other dogs. She is on a set routine which includes going outside multiple times a day, meals twice a day, play time, plus more. I regularly clean the bottom, paws, face, etc. to ensure things are always fresh and clean.

“The dogs absolutely loved Mary. We felt so comfortable leaving them in her care. This was the first time they’ve been with anyone else and they’re senior pups set in their way! So happy we have found someone so awesome and reliable to call on now!”

About: I have had pets all of my life, and I have helped take care of them from puppies to seniors. I have applied that knowledge into my professional work as well. I can feed and bathe pets, walk, and administer pills. I have previously worked with dogs, cats, birds, and bunnies. I am also close to several animal shelters and help socialize, walk, help with adoptions, and foster when needed. I am currently working as a contractor worker, so I have free time and flexibility to take care of your fur babies! I take care of my own person kitty cat, but other than that I am completely free to take care of your fur kids. When caring for animals at a client's home, I make sure to find out any and all safety features or precautions needed for their pets. I try to make sure the pets stay on their schedule, including any routines they may have such as walking a certain path, going out a specific door, etc.

“Megan was great with our 3 dogs on our weekend away. She came for a meet and greet in early July and came back to see them again the week we were leaving to check in with us and make sure the dogs remembered her. We will certainly book with her again!”

About: I've wanted to work with animals my entire life. I had my own dog for 9 wonderful years and recently experienced the joy and responsibility of raising a litter of puppies. Over the past 10+ years, I’ve cared for the pets and homes of family and friends, building trust and gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or special care needs, I treat every pet like they’re my own. This is currently my full time job and looking for new opportunities as I start up my new trades and services. I will have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets. I currently only offer services at clients homes so all our future furry babies can become familiar with me before going anywhere with me. If your pet has any special needs or medicines, don’t hesitate, I have experience with that too.

About: I have been a RVT (a vet “nurse”) for 9 years with some of that working with large animals and also in small animal emergency. I also grew up on a large dog breeding farm. I am experienced with all ages and all breeds of dogs. I can give all forms of medications (insulin, SQ Fluids, oral meds, etc). I have 4 large breed dogs of my own and love every dog I have the pleasure of working with. I also like to leave houses clean from overnight stays. Pet care is a daily routine for me as I have a geriatric large breed dog and all of my dogs are on special food or medications I would care for your pet like it was my own. Daily walks if needed and continuous love and care for them. I want to create a space that doesn’t disrupt their normal day to day activities.

“I'm so grateful for Brandi! She truly loves animals and did an excellent job with watching my 2 fur babies! She took excellent care of my spoiled girls and we will be using her again!!!!”

About: Hi, I’m Josh—and I offer nothing but the most reliable pet care around, tailored to you and your pets needs! 🐾 I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly believe every pet deserves kindness, routine, and a whole lotta love (and maybe a treat or three). From playful pups to wise old doggos, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether it’s: 🐕‍🦺 Gentle strolls for seniors 🦴 Play-packed walks for energetic pups 🧸 Cozy care for anxious or shy pets 🎓 Basic routine reinforcement …I meet every animal where they’re at. Your pet won’t just be walked or watched—they’ll be nurtured, entertained, and treated like family. Plus, I’m a firm believer in consistent communication! You’ll get updates, pics, and plenty of peace of mind while your pet is in my care. Right now, I’m home full-time—so your pet’s schedule? It becomes my schedule! Early morning potty breaks, midday zoomies, afternoon sunbathing, or evening snuggles… I’ve got the time and the treats. My days are pretty flexible, so whether your pup needs structure or just someone to hang out with while they nap, I can make it happen. I keep things calm, cozy, and consistent—because pets thrive when they feel safe and seen. Basically: if your pet has a routine, I’ll stick to it like peanut butter on a chew toy. 🦴 And if they’re more of a go-with-the-flow type? We’ll create a new groove together. Let me know what makes your fur baby happiest—and I’ll make sure every visit or stay feels like a mini vacation (with belly rubs included, obviously). My home is a peaceful, pet-friendly space where your furry friend will feel right at home. I’m home full-time, so pets are never left alone for long, and I’m always nearby for cuddles, potty breaks, or the occasional “did someone say treat?” moment. A fenced-in yard is in the works soon (yay!), but in the meantime, we’ve got instant access to Academy Springs Park—just a few steps away—and we’re a short drive from the Chimney Park dog park too. Plus, my quiet, sidewalk-lined neighborhood is perfect for low-stress walks and curious sniffing adventures. I keep my space clean, calm, and cozy. No overwhelming noise, no overcrowding, and definitely no chaos. Whether your pet needs space to lounge, room to play, or a quiet spot to decompress, we’ll create the right setup for them. I care for every animal like they’re my own—because honestly, they kinda are while they’re with me. 💛

About: I have had experience pet-sitting multiple different types of dogs from puppies to large. I spent 4 years as a dog walker at an animal shelter, so I believe that I am highly capable of handling a plethora of personalities. My favorite dogs are rottweilers and labradoodles! I work full-time, so I am available before 8:30 and after 5 on Monday through Thursday. I work virtually Friday, so I have more flexibility. My weekends are open when not traveling My apartment has a dog park and long walking trail that connects to it, so I am happy to do lots of enrichment time and walking. I am used to be around pets 24/7 from my clingy childhood dogs, so I can keep a very watchful eye in a home if needed!

“Ed is amazing, plain and simple. This is actually my second time booking with him, just first on my new account. Both times he provides dedicated time to my dog and my cats. The walks and updates were incredible. I knew immediately upon meeting Ed he was the right guy for the job. He was so patient and calm with Lily and gently corrected even the worse of her bad behaviors. Highly recommend you book this incredible individual. He’s my go to guy from now on!”

“Jack was awesome with Cooper! He took very good care of him and I could tell that Cooper loved him and had a great time while we were away. We will definitely call Jack back the next time we need someone to watch over our boy.”

I love any and all animals and i am studying to become a veterinarian ! I am usually always available!! I do work but of course that could be adjusted. I am willing to go above and beyond for those who trust me with their pets!!! My two dogs have a very large yard and it is fenced off.

About: Hi there! So lovely to meet you! My name is Loan and I have cared for pets since I was 18! I’ve dog sat and was a frequent dog walker up until December of 2021 when I got my very own pup! I am now back in business and ready to love your pup as if they were my own and my own pup will love your pup as if they were her siblings! I have a full-time work from home job so your pup will always have someone watching them (unless I am running errands). Although I do not have my own yard, potty breaks are always frequent and I never miss walks! Your pup will never be left alone as I have the friendliest pup ever but if things get overwhelming, I can always crate all dogs and make sure everyone is happy and calm. Since I WFH, your pup will always be on 24/7 watch so there won’t be any room for concern!

About: I have taken care of a Yorkshire terrier for 16 years and a golden doodle puppy for 2 years. I have also babysat many of my friends dogs (up to 5 at a time!) and I have a love for animals and would love to make some extra cash by doing something I love! I enjoy being around all types of dogs and my dog is very friendly towards other animals too. Thanks for looking at my page! I am a full time parent, so I am flexible. Just let me know your needs and we can make arrangements! I can have my dog present or not, depending on preference. I have a small yard, but can leash walk. Pet-friendly home! I have gates in my home to help keep dogs in one particular area if needed for their safety.
