“As always Kathrine was able to drop in for our fur kids they were well taken care of and I got some great pictures from her during check in. I love having her to look after them when we go out of town now that the cats are older and need special care. I would recommend Kathrine to anyone who needs a sitter in her area.”


“This is our 2nd time using Ashley and once again she did amazing!!! Not only with my cats but with other little items I asked her to do while we were away. I definitely recommend her 100000%. Thanks Ashley!!!”


“Christian came to give our elderly cat subcutaneous fluids while we were on vacation. We were worried about how it would go, but as a vet tech, Christian was confident he could handle it. She got her fluids with no problems. Christian was great. We'll hire him again.”


“Our cat was very comfortable with Kristin and she did an amazing job following her routine.”


About: I’ve always had a love for dogs, and before I moved to America we owned two amazing high energetic dogs. I loved taking them on walks and letting them explore the environment. I will ensure your dog is having as much fun as I will on his/her walk. I like getting exercise through walking so your dog will be getting plenty of it. Your dogs safety is also a top priority to me at all times and I will ensure that whatever activities we’ll be engaging in, they'll be kept safe. I have plenty of time in the day to play and love your pup, my husband is also usually home as well and will generally help with care I have a fenced in backyard that I like taking the dogs outside to if they don’t need a long walk while they stay. We can also play.

“Amanda is awesome! She took wonderful care of both my kitties. I appreciate the fun pictures she sent while I was away. I will absolutely be rebooking with her!”


About: I am that person who stops everything wherever I am to talk to dogs walking or play with them in the pet store. Pets are great friends. I work full time from home. 6a-230p. I live right outside of Penn Estates. Weekends I am available at any time. During the week after 230. I walk my 2 dogs around on a leash. They have seatbelts/car seats for car rides. We also like playing in the park. Treats in a pocket are a great way to keep your furry friend next to you

“Thalia is a “Super Sitter”. Although she wasn’t feeling 100%, her #1 priority was ensuring our cat, Monkei, was well cared for. We truly appreciated the daily updates she provided. If you need sitter, Thalia is the person you want to hire!!!”


About: I’ve been around dogs and animals in general since a young age, with my grandpa running a small farm. I’ve grown up around breeds like German Shepherds, and have always taken care of friends’ dogs while they were in vacation. I learned a lot from my fiancé, who ran a successful dog walking business in New York City Give yourself peace of mind, your dog is in safe, loving, caring hands. I’m currently working from home with a special schedule which I take advantage of as it frees up a lot of time during the day. Pet care fits into it quite easily, as I have a daily routine I follow which includes dog walks, time with the dogs outside and of course feedings (and tending medicine when needed). I have a home situated on a quiet, secluded private lot that backs up onto a river with several trails within a short walking distance. The yard is secluded, well shaded and has ample space. I take care to be active with the dogs, so I usually toss frisbees or play fetch several times a day to keep them content. I walk my dogs twice around the neighborhood. Besides home, I have a number of dog-friendly trails and parks both in East Stroudsburg and nearby where I bring the dogs for some quality time outside. This includes hiking on trails and in the mountains, bringing the dogs to rivers or lakes, I mix it up each week depending on the weather conditions. Any time I go on an outdoor adventure, I make sure I have the owner’s consent. Their dogs will always be hydrated and have a snack. I only ask that if your dog has specific dietary needs or is taking medication, that you provide me with the necessary information and schedule. I have two modes of transport for dogs, both of which offer plenty of space, safety and comfort for the dogs while en route.

About: Hi there, I’m Emileigh! Since I was old enough to hold a leash, I have been the neighborhood pet sitter. I have lived in many different places and at each and every one of them, I have house-sat, walked neighbor’s dogs, and done regular checkups on pets of many different shapes and sizes. I have even had the privilege of working at a horse farm where I had the responsibility of feeding and caring for a variety of animals such as horses, cats, dogs, goats and donkeys. In other words, I deeply enjoy the company of animals, and I have found that caring for them is one of the most rewarding and worthwhile things that I can spend my time doing. I am a traditional artist with a constant desire for the company of furry friends, while also currently doing housekeeping on some weekday mornings. Due to the commission work I do being a very flexible, self-motivated type of profession, and my housekeeping commitment coming to a close in April, I am able to work around pet care, of which I primarily offer in the afternoons. The first goal that I set for myself when entering any pup’s home is to assess how they are doing while scanning the environment for any kinds of disturbances, or anything to note. When on walks, my priorities are safety, being aware of our environment, making sure that the pup is comfortable, and of course, making sure that we are having a good time! I fully believe that you can never ask too many questions, so I will make sure that I learn as much as I can about the pup and how to make them feel comfortable and cared for, as trust is very important to me. Overall, I will prioritize that both the pup and I are in the safest situations possible when it comes to both environment and being in the company of each other.

“Super job, as always!”

About: I came into this world greeted by dogs and have had one ever since! I have had dogs all my life, ranging from small to large breeds (one even weighing 120lbs)! At the moment, I have an energetic 6 year old Labrador who can’t get enough of “fetch”! I also have 10 years of experience taking care of cats! Message me for more information :) I’m currently working part-time, 2 days a week so I have plenty of time to care for animals. I am available at all times of the day depending on scheduling! At my house, I take my dog for her daily walks in order to get exercise. She enjoys swimming and running after her bunny toy. I also have a feeding schedule for her that I abide by in order to make sure she stays happy and healthy.

“Kyle is great to work with! Very quick to respond and easy to communicate with. He was able to accommodate me and my pup at the last minute, which was greatly appreciated. He is friendly and his care for my best friend is evident. We will definitely be working with him again”

Victoria D.
“We have had Victoria dog sit our three Shichons on many occasions. Each time, she was very responsible and did a fantastic job caring for our girls as we have two pups that require medications given before and during meals. Victoria made sure the medications were given at the appropriate times and the right foods were distributed and eaten by the correct dogs. She took the time to play with them and showered them with attention. She also made sure they got their exercise by walking them. She even used the dog stroller for the one who doesn't care to walk. On a very rare occasion that an accident occurred, she took responsibility and cleaned up after them. It's important to us to have someone who enjoys spending time with and loves animals look after our girls when we are not able to. Victoria has been the perfect person to do that. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a pet caregiver who will love and take care of your animal as if it were her own.”

Both of our pups love when her and Echo get to come over and seeing them happy to see her makes us happy!”
