“Cristel was so great- she provided so many updates throughout her stay that I never had to wonder how the dogs and cats were doing. Great communication and she left the house in better shape than she found it! Highly recommend.”

“This was our 2nd time having Sheila stay with our hyper and energetic pit mix. She was responsive, clean, and every helped with other household things (skimmed pool, watered garden). Our pup takes medication which was given as prescribed. Sheila sent photos and updates and I felt very at ease knowing our house and pup were in good hands. We will definitely be using Sheila again and recommend her to anyone.”

“Elizabeth did a great job with Mack and Aries, while I was out of town. She took them for multiple walks per day and respected my home. We already have a other stay booked with Elizabeth!”

“Andrew was great with Chips! It was our first time leaving our young puppy with someone and we felt confident after the meet and greet that we were leaving Chips with a sitter who was very knowledgeable about puppy behavior and was experienced caring for pets. Andrew even worked on some training with Chips. Thanks Andrew!”

“Jennifer was fantastic with our dog Murphy! She kept him very active and even helped with some of his training. She left the house in pristine condition and sent plenty of pictures while we were away. I cannot recommend Jennifer highly enough, you'll be so glad to have her caring for your pup!”


“This was a last minute booking, and then the details changed the day before due to a member of my family being hospitalized. Wilfred rolled with the changes and adjusted when to arrive and leave my house in order to give my pup a nice intermission from being stuck at home alone. Very communicative, conscientious, and punctual, with a genuine love and care for animals. Will definitely book again when needed.”

“We cannot say enough great things about Andrew! His amazing care for our furry kids and home was top notch!!! Our furry kids were so relaxed when we got home! He sent numerous photos throughout his entire stay and is a true animal lover. Wish we could give 100 stars!”


About: My family has owned a pet sitting business in Stroudsburg, called IOU Pet Care, for 15+ years. The first job I ever had was going to people’s homes and walking their pups for an hour, checking food and water bowls as well as litter boxes, or even staying the night there. For the past 15 years, since I was 15 years old, I’ve cared for almost every species of house pet you can think of, in just about every way that the owners needed. I genuinely love animals. Playing with them, training them, caring for them, it’s such a rewarding experience for both of us. I have 4 cats and 2 dogs of my own, and they make my life so much better. I’m always building cat walls and catios, new interactive toys for the dogs, and whatever else I can do to give them all the best lives they could possibly have. When working with my family’s business, it’s always been “customized pet care needs.” I plan to stick with that. I have no allergies. I’ve cared for all ages and sizes of cats, dogs, fish, birds, hamsters, and probably a few other species that aren’t coming to mind at the moment. I can walk, hike, run, feed, clean up after, and administer some medication to a vast majority of your pets. Let me know what you’re looking for, and as long as I can do it, I will!
About: I am a hairstylist the recently found a love in pet sitting and walking! The salon I work at actually fosters cats🐾 I always grew up with animals and always wanted to be a vet when I was younger. Since I’m unable to have my own pets, I am able to give all my lovings to yours🫶 I am able to complete any task asked of me. I am reliable, clean, and hardworking. Your pets will be in great hands! As I am a full time hairstylist, dog walking will be my most obtainable service! I am available Wednesdays, Friday and Saturday afternoons, and all day Sundays! I am able to provide pet care on Wednesdays, as well as Saturday afternoons, and Sundays. I occupy and entertain pets while inside, as well as take care of what is needed (feeding, cleaning, and medicine.) I monitor pets while outside, whether that be fenced in or not, as well as take them on walks.
About: Having always had a pet in my home growing up as well as my family life. Animals are a part of a family just as a family member .. having trained and cared for dogs my whole life . I care for each one as if they were my own. They will have plenty of open space to roam around never unsupervised . We live on 2 acre property With our two dogs lots of fetching mad rope tug... After a day outside we all come in to rest . Our two dogs are caged at nite with all newbies are comfortable upstairs with my wife and I. Come share in the love and affection of our family... Having the time now in my life after my children have grown I now enjoy the company of animals where we can play fetch and enjoy the great outdoors if it is only in the backyard or on the deck of my home and or yours. I have and there's a line fence property as well as a lead where all can play with plenty of room. Or animals that need to be crated are as loved as well as I do to my two dogs. As a long play day in the yard
“Moccha just loves Dawn and I think the feeling is mutual. It is so nice to be able to go away and feel good about leaving Moc and not having to bother family. They also feel good having met Dawn and let me know that Moc does not miss me. LOL How fortunate to have Dawn willing to do overnights for this neurotic pet owner. Big thanks!”

“Aaren was absolutely wonderful with our pup! She took good care of him and sent us pics and videos of him snuggling with her. Aaren has a unique understanding of dogs and we highly recommend her for sitting.”

“5 STARS!!!!! We absolutely love booking with Arianna, and our two dogs love her even more. We have so much peace of mind leaving them at home with her; we know they are in safe and incredibly capable hands. We were out of town for under two weeks, and knowing we had someone at home taking care of and loving our babies just like we would made our trip even better! We highly recommend booking Arianna to watch your fur babies, and we can't wait to book her again in the future!”

“I felt extremely safe leaving my anxious pup with Thalia! I was updated during the day and was very reassured when I expressed concern about Morti’s behaviors. Definitely going to book with Thalia again!”

“Maurie was great with our dog Finn for a week. She gave many updates and stuck to his routine, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. I would definitely recommend Maurie for your needs and will book again in the future!”

About: Hi there! I would love to have the honor of taking care of your fur babies! I have plenty of experience considering I have 9 dogs of my own... yes 9! Two big dogs and the rest are small to medium sized. So I am basically a dog walker at my own house just without the pay, haha. I am a recent college graduate from ESU with a BA in musical theatre but I would love to in the future become a veterinarian someday. My schedule is open and I also have my own transportation! I would describe myself as very reliable, kind, and caring. I hope you consider me to be your pups dog walker, I can promise you they will be in good hands!(:
“Jeimmy was awesome! She stayed in constant communication about the dogs and there overnight. Also sent pictures and was very active with dogs. I highly recommend her and would use jeimmy again for any future services!”

Appenzell pet parents share their Rover experiences
Cristol is amazing. She stayed over and took care of my older shepherd. You can tell my pup Lexie was well taken care of. My dog was happy and stress free. In addition, Cristol even cleaned my kitchen and refrigerator. Cristol is the best and I won't hesitate to use her again.

Absolutely fantastic sitter! You will not be disappointed. I was very anxious about leaving our girl, for the first time since losing her brother in October, but Cristel was so wonderful and reassuring during our initial meeting that I felt very comfortable and confident that Sophie would be in excellent caring hands. During our time away Cristel kept us constantly updated with texts, photos and videos which were greatly appreciated. And on our return, she had left our home spotless. Her service goes above and beyond for sure. I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful and caring person and will continue to use her for any future trips.
