House Sitting in Porters Sideling

“I know I can leave my pets in their hands whenever we need to get away! We always come home to happy pets and they're great at communication, too. I never need to worry!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for different family members and friends. Your animals would get plenty of attention and love with me. I wake up at 6 am. My week days vary from having class from 9-11 MWF, Tuesday at 2, and Thursday at 11. I live off campus about 3 minutes away, so I can easily check in/take out the pets. I do not have a fenced in yard, but there is plenty of grass and a park within walking distance. I am more comfortable walking with a leash unless there is a fenced in yard. My apartment has 1 roommate and plenty of space for dogs/cats to roam or lay down.

“I can not recommend Lauren enough. She was incredibly attentive to my pets. My dogs absolutely loved her, they were looking for her when we got back, and even this morning. My chinchilla has some new found confidence as well because of her. I am just honestly blown away by her care for animals and the communication is by far the best I’ve ever experienced. Look no farther, she will be the first person I will reach out to, to watch my dogs from now on. Kennels no more!!”

“John is a kind and caring person who I've no doubt will take good care of your pets when you need extra help. My mini dogs are sensitive and each has their own quirks and needs John had an instant rapport with each one. My first booking was an overnight stay and I will be booking with him again!”

“Rita, you are simply amazing! We cannot thank you enough for taking such care of our Knoxie boy for 2 days. Knox is a very anxious and nervous pit bull rescue. He took to Rita immediately. Knox was also having belly issues most likely from stress, and she took such good care of him. She updated me the whole time with pics etc. and spent lots of time with him. I was so stressed leaving him, but she put me at ease. We are blessed to have found Rita!”

“Jessica was so fantastic. She took great care of our crew of 5! They seemed so happy and relaxed when we got home. We will be booking again in the future. She was great to communicate and send updates throughout the day. She even didn’t mind having a puppy pile on her during sleeping. We can’t say enough how happy we are with her work!”

Lauren G.

“Communication was wonderful!”

About: I have several years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I am currently pursuing my education to become a veterinary technician, with the long-term goal of becoming a veterinarian. Through my experience, I have developed strong knowledge and skills in pet training, dog walking, proper nutrition and feeding, and medication administration. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work a part-time job, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule. I keep my Rover calendar up to date to reflect my availability, though occasional changes may come up. I always encourage clients to reach out, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs and ensure the best care for your fur baby! I do not offer in-home boarding, but I am happy to provide care in your home. I strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. When possible, I am available for extended stays, which can provide added consistency for your pet’s care and fit well with my schedule. I also recommend that clients leave detailed care instructions, as every pet has unique needs, routines, and preferences.

“We truly could not ask for a better sitter. She cares for our dogs as if they were her own babies, and that kind of love and attention is priceless. We always come home to happy, well-cared-for pups and a home that is just as clean and tidy as we left it. One of our favorite things is how many updates and photos she sends while we’re away—it brings us so much peace of mind (and joy!) to see how loved and comfortable our dogs are. She is kind, respectful, reliable, and goes above and beyond every single time. We would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!”

Candice P.

“Juliana and Caleb were fantastic! They accommodated our last-minute request without hesitation and took wonderful care of our pup who was recovering from knee surgery. They communicated with us throughout, which gave us such peace of mind during a stressful time. Our dogs clearly adore them, and we couldn't be more grateful. Highly recommend!”

“We cannot recommend Ronny highly enough! When another sitter backed out at the last minute, we reached out to Ronny on short notice. He responded promptly and was more than willing to come by for a meet and greet, which immediately put us at ease. From the moment he walked in the door, our cats were comfortable with him which is not always the case. Ronny took his time answering all of our questions and asked thoughtful questions of his own. Even though we admittedly have a very detailed list of instructions, he did an amazing job remembering all the little things and checking in regularly with messages and photos throughout his stay. It was clear that Ronny genuinely cared about making sure our cats were happy, comfortable, and well loved while we were away. He was also incredibly respectful of our home, leaving everything exactly as we left it. He even went above and beyond by offering to clear our driveway after an unexpected snowfall. If you’re looking for someone who truly goes the extra mile and treats your pets like their own, Ronny is absolutely the person to book!”

Sierra L.

“Kerri is the BEST! She stayed at our house for over a week taking care of our dog and cat. Because our dog is large (70lbs) and sometimes anxious/reactive, it can be difficult to find a sitter that is a good fit. Kerri came prepared, asked lots of questions, sent daily updates, and our dog loved her. We will definitely book Kerri again -- highly recommended!”

Jessie M.

“Delphie was a wonderful sitter for our boy, Cisco. He sometimes has trouble adjusting to new people, but he quickly took to Delphie. We highly recommend her for your pet care!”

Greg S.

“We're fairly new to PA & needed someone to come house sit with our dog & cat while on vacation. Melisha was available during our anticipated days away & from her profile/bio she seemed a good fit. I booked a meet-n-greet & while speaking with her in person, I knew she was THE one to watch Gunther & Honey. She's very personable, very knowledgeable, and experienced. I had requested she send daily pictures & updates, & that's exactly what she did - kept in daily communication (unlike other sitters I've had in the past). She also walked Gunther daily, & fed him at my requested times to keep his schedule as close to normal as possible. I will be booking Melisha again to watch our fur babies during future trips out of town! She was excellent, & I highly recommend her!!!”

About: Home Environment I live in a spacious house featuring a securely fenced back yard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets to play and relax. My Chihuahua, who is notably sociable and friendly, enjoys interacting with other dogs, cats, and people alike. Resident Pets In addition to my Chihuahua, I share my home with two cats that I rescued from the local animal shelter. Both cats are well-adjusted and accustomed to living with dogs. Typically, after a brief introduction consisting of a few sniffs and perhaps a hiss, they are able to coexist peacefully with other cats. Experience and Availability Since retiring from the Army, I am available around the clock to care for your beloved pet. With more than 26 years of experience in owning and caring for both dogs and cats, I am well-versed in understanding and meeting their unique needs. Commitment to Care I promise to care for your pet as if it were my own, ensuring its safety, comfort, and happiness. Every animal entrusted to me is treated as an extended and respected member of my household. I am a retired Army veteran and parent of a Chihuahua and 2 cats. I am available around the clock to take care of your fur baby as a respected member of my household. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly Chihuahua to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. My cats ignore dogs that don't want to play. If your dog dislikes cats, I am able to separate their living areas while your dog is on-site.

“Ashley does a great job with our 4 dogs. When they see her coming they are so happy. I don't have to worry about them while I am gone. She sends pictures and updates. She feeds them including any.medical needs my.dogs have. She keeps our house clean(cleaner than when we left!) I would highly recommend her as my.dogs are well taken care of and she.is trustworthy. I appreciate all the.love she shows our dogs while we are away!”

About: What sets me apart is my experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I’m skilled in basic training, ensuring pups learn good habits, and I offer extra care for seniors, adapting walks and attention to their needs. Pet care is a top priority in my daily routine. I plan walks, playtime, and feeding around my schedule, ensuring each pet gets the attention and exercise they need. It’s not just a job; it’s a passion. When caring for pets in their home, I stick to their familiar routines, including feeding, playtime, and walks. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable, keeping their environment consistent. If pets stay in my home, I offer a cozy, supervised space where they can relax, with plenty of outdoor time and lots of affection. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family.

“We had to leave town quickly for a family emergency and Madison was very accommodating for our needs . It was great to know my pets were in good care while dealing with other stressors. Madison is great at communicating too. Came home to two very happy girls!”

“Nicole did a great job taking care of my dogs and my house! Everything was in perfect order and she kept me updated on the dogs throughout my trip. I will definitely request Nicole again!!”

About: We currently have 2 Dogs, 1 cat, and 2 kids. I have had animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with 3 poms and multiple cats. I have handled ALL different types of dogs through family and friends. Would also be willing to take care of other pets if needed. We currently foster cats and walk dogs when able through spca. I have delt with young pups to seniors with mediation. I love all animals and take care of them like my own. I can be flexable. I am a stay at home dad with my daughter and son who is currently in cyber school. Going on walks around the area or to the park to play are some easy ideas. Love walking or jogging a pet if they are up for it. I can drop in, take them for a walk, play with them at the park, play in home or back yard or whatever you/they need.
