About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs with a wide range of needs. I currently care for three dogs of my own, including a senior dog who requires extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I also cared for my previous dog throughout his battle with epilepsy. Administering his medication on schedule and staying with him during and after his seizures taught me how important it is to remain calm, attentive, and compassionate during stressful situations. Because of these experiences, I'm comfortable caring for senior pets, administering oral medications, and providing extra attention to animals with special needs. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with plenty of patience, affection, playtime, and reliable care. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. Since I am a Nursing Student at ESU, my daily schedule is jam-packed with classes. However, my evenings are usually relatively open and I am always open to overnight sitting! I love animals with all my heart and spending time with different personalities is really special to me. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. In my client's home, I make it a priority to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible by following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, going on walks or playing as needed, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I'm also happy to administer oral medications and provide extra care for senior pets or those with special needs. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I currently care for three dogs, including a senior dog, and I previously cared for my epileptic dog, ensuring he received his medication on time and staying by his side whenever he experienced a seizure. Those experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and how to remain calm in unexpected situations. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless playtime, quiet cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I'll adapt to their individual personality and needs. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

“Gilian is FANTASTIC! She had an instant rapport with all 3 of our kitties and she also was able to administer a pill to our cat Bruno easily. She has been awesome with communication and followed all our instructions perfectly. A+!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12, including my own Pekingese and my family members dogs. Every dog to me are babies no matter how big or small they are. They deserve the best care which I can give them. I adapt fast to any type of personality. Dogs just like humans have their own unique personalities. I’m currently back from college and I have plenty of time to take care of your babies. I currently am looking for a part-time job which still leaves me with a lot of time to look after your pups. I have one friendly Pekingese, who can keep your dog company if needed. I will always make sure to clean up after the pups. I will always leave your home the same way it was when I arrived

“I wish I could give her 100 stars, but 5 is the limit on this app! Madison is amazing - she kept our dogs fed and happy while we were on a long trip! Our dogs loved her so much and we'll definitely have her sit again! She even came for a meet and greet before to make sure the dogs were warmed up to her and was so kind and thoughtful. It was great to know what the dogs were doing while we were away and it made our trip easier, and I really looked forward to her updates and pictures!”

“Autumn was great! Bear was very happy and tired after her drop in visit. He got a lot of his energy out! I will definitely be rebooking with her!”

Samar S.

“Jennifer did not just come over and feed my kitties, she bonded with them my giving extra attention, playtime, and love. We came home to two happy kitty cats and could not be more grateful for what she did as it eased our anxiety and concerns. We will definitely rebook for Jennifer all events and future vacations due to the compassion she exhibited. Thank you for all you did/do.”

“Shelby was great with our dogs and they warmed right up to her. She did everything we asked and even reached out to see if we wanted to modify our plan due to impending rain which was very thoughtful. We plan to book with her again and use her regularly!”

Marissa Z.

“Deb was the exact pet sitter we’ve been searching so long for. First, she was available on short notice when plans came up for us unexpectedly. She also had no problem doing a meet and greet within 24hrs notice. She was so sweet to Sam and clearly loved animals. She was happy to walk through all the quirks of the animals and was in no rush. So many sitters on Rover show up for five minutes, let our pup out, and tell us they are leaving (despite the fact that we pay for a 30min visit). I’d resigned myself to the fact that it’s just the way Rover is. Then we found Deb. She texted when she arrived for the visit and checked in on how Sam was and let him out the first time. She sent a few pictures on how he was (and even checked in on how our cat was even though he wasn’t on the docket for the day). Then much later she checked in again and took Sam out a second time. She used up all the 30mins and more. She shared how much she knew animals are social and value human connection. I’ve been searching far and wide for a sitter who understands that. Deb is that person. We will without a doubt be using Deb going forward. She is one of a kind.”

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.

“Abner was an amazing dog walker! He was reliable, professional, and clearly loves animals. My dog was always so excited to see him, which says a lot. I really appreciated the updates and photos after each walk—it gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was in great hands. Abner was punctual, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”

“Contacted Alyssa through Rover.com and she replied very quickly. When asked if she could come over to meet our dogs, she agreed and was open to any time of day or night. With our busy schedule we were finally able to meet her at 9:30pm (our fault not hers). We have 1 calm dog and one excitable dog. Alyssa handled each very well, even though our excitable dog barked quite a bit each time she came over. Seeing how she handled each dog individually based on their personalities was amazing. She had great patience and got a long great with our animals and us. Alyssa has a down to earth personality, has great communication skills, and goes above and beyond for her clients. Our dogs are so very important to us, they are like our children, and after meeting with Alyssa and seeing her interactions and care for our pets, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
