House Sitting in Porterdale

“Just wanted to share the great experience we had with Catecha this past weekend—and on very short notice! My pitbull, Jug, has some serious separation anxiety issues; issues we weren't fully aware of either, since this was his first time being watched by someone outside the family. Catecha was absolutely amazing and seemed to understand Jug's delicate personality right away. She kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos, which helped put my mind at ease. Her communication was top-notch, always responsive and not afraid to ask questions. She left our home clean and tidy—a huge bonus to come home to after traveling! I HIGHLY recommend Catecha if you need a dog sitter, especially if your pup is a bit high-maintenance, like mine. After the initial anxiety of leaving in general wore off, I felt comfortably at ease leaving Jug in her care, and that's priceless. I will definitely be using Catecha again in the future!”

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.

About: I love being active and outdoors, dogs always have a special place in my heart. I am currently a veterinarian assistant and have been working with animals for over 7 years through the military. I have been trained on: first aid, grooming, hygiene, and care for all animals. Working with dogs of all sizes helps me better my skills so I can someday be a vetanarian and open my own hospital. I strongly believe that dogs are men best friend and should be treated with the best care and love. Running around with young and energetic dogs or walking and relaxing with older and relaxed dogs I love them both. And I look forward to having this great opertonity and experience with your dog. I work relief for a vet hospital but my availability is very flexible. I am able to take your pet out twice a day if needed. I have a fenced in back yard and a nice neighborhood where we are able to run and walk with our dogs. So there is plenty of space to play and relax.

“Brandi is a pet sitting gem! We have two pups with big personalities, and she was patient, reliable, and adaptable. She communicated every step of the way. She maintained professionalism but also loved them like they were her own. Yuna and Bumi hope to see Brandi again soon!”

“Kayleigh was great! This was my first time using Rover. After reviewing many people, I chose Kaylea based on her reviews. She is absolutely outstanding with my dog, Khloe. She kept her at her house for the weekend while I was out of town. Chloe came back, excited, clean, healthy, and happy. Kaylea paid special attention to Chloe, even allowing her to sleep in her bed, which is where Chloe is used to sleeping at my house in mine. I would highly recommend Kaylea if you need your pet looked after. I will definitely use Kayleigh again. Next time I travel out of town.”

“Tara was excellent caring for my cats during a weekend trip I took. Aside from the basics, she gave them companionship and loving care during my absence. I will absolutely use Tara again. She was respectful of my home, communicated with me often and sent pictures while I was away. Thank you so much Tara!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets my whole life. From dogs and cats to pigs and horses! My family jokes that I’m our animal whisperer I have open availability so please don’t hesitate to let me know when you need me! I don’t require advance notice, so I can be flexible based on your pets current routines. I have plenty of walking experience and basic training needs. Based on your needs I can take pets to the park, play in the yard or stay local in the neighborhood. I’m flexible based on each individual pet and owner needs. I look forward to working with you and your fur baby!

About: Back home, I grew up with 13+ animals (dogs, cats, birds, a racoon, a squirrel, and even sugar gliders!!!) and through that experience I have gained knowledge and understanding of how to correctly take care of a pet. Whether it be play-time, going on walks, baths, or even being fed, I am definitely the girl to contact if you want to make sure your pet is well taken care of. I'm currently a college student, although I tend to finish my work early, and I am focused on pursuing the career I was called to do, so Rover is just a side job for me, however, given enough of a heads up, I would gladly love to work with you and your fur-baby! I'm unable to house animals in my house (landlord forbids animals, sadly), however, during walks and or sittings, I have no issue with aiding to the animal's needs and ensuring their safety with guided measures. I would also take into consideration how you, the owner, take care of your fur-baby in order to maintain civility.

About: I have had dogs for majority of my life and i have taken care of a variety of animals such as cats, guinea pigs, and birds. In my free time i take care of strays. 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. They have plenty of toys and i often find myself spending money on bunches of things for them. I treat every animal as my own and i have learned to recognize signs from them. Any animals are welcome to me and i treat them as if they were my children.

“Kira never disappoints… I’m so blessed to have found you on Rover bc we never have to worry when you’re house sitting our baby Harlee.. thank you again for all that you do..”

About: I am an animal lover and veterinary nurse so my love for animals is very real. I've raised 2 of my own dogs from puppies (6 weeks and 2 months) and I didn't let them go until their passing a couple years ago. I currently have 1 dog named Honey and she loves other dogs and I would love to help other take care of their dogs as this is my career choice! I look forward to loving on your dogs as I love on my own. I’m great with giving meds, changing bandages, giving injections, nail trims, ear cleaning, and expressing anal glands if needed as well. Most importantly I do require all pets that I board be on flea and heart worm prevention as I do live in a townhouse and we will be going on a lot of walks. This is for the safety of your baby(ies) and mine. Also if you have an intact female dog (not spayed/able to have puppies) please be sure she comes with the proper coverings if she is in heat. Thank you for your consideration. I currently work daily as a veterinary nurse so I will take the fur babies to work with me so that they are still being cared for throughout the day. I treat all pets as if they are my own so they get lots of love, fed, treats, walks, and trips to the dog park as well while under my care.

“We are truly appreciative of Jonah! He is great with Tito.Jonah is always on time and provides great updates with each visit.”

About: At 28 Years Old, I have nearly always had a dog living with me. 8 dogs have been apart of my life in the past and currently 4 reside in our large loving home. Nearly every single one of my dogs have been rescued and cared for, where I try my best to change my own routine to better fit their needs rather than trying to change them to fit my own. In the past two years I have boarded relatives' dogs at my own home and would like to continue helping dog parents with any dog care they might need. Because I've had so many dogs in my life, I have had to experience both the beginning and end of their lives. I especially enjoy giving extra care to senior dogs to make sure they are most comfortable in the golden age of their lives. I am working only part time so I have plenty of time to give your dogs as little or as much attention as you need. My schedule is extremely flexible. Weekends or Weekdays are perfect for me. My home sits on a hilly and forested 3 acres, with fenced in portions as well as a long circular driveway perfect for walks! In the fenced area, there is a pool perfect for any water loving dog in the summer! There is also an enclosed run of chickens that are unbothered by any rambunctious and curious dogs. Currently we have 4 dogs, one an outdoor Rottweiler dog that is all too happy to play with another dog, but with her own separated fenced in area. We have 4 indoor dogs, 2 Rat Terriers and 2 Chihuahua. All of them have shown friendly tendencies to unfamiliar dogs of similar size. They have had mixed feelings over larger dogs and I know that not all dogs enjoy the company of others. Should your own dog be more comfortable being alone and dislike other dogs, our house is set up in a way that your own dog can have their own private space away from my dogs and still get whatever attention is needed while still allowing my own dogs ample space.

About: Ive loved animals since the age of 4 when I asked my mom to take in all the strays around our house. I have worked and volunteered for animals since I was 13. I also walk and do baths and nails trims. I can administer medication for clients with fur babies that need extra attention. I am very flexible with my schedule so if consistent services are needed, I can accommodate. I have very few time limitations but booking in advance ensures that there will be no schedule conflicts I would like to meet with the pet parent in order to understand the pet that I’ll be working with as well as any specifications that I would need to know. (Any medication’s that would need to be administered etctetc)
