“All went well with having Gypsy’s stay with Sukari! I plan on using Sukari for more dog sitting in the future as she is very sweet, is concerned about my pet and attuned to my dog’s needs.”


“Leila was super accommodating with my schedule and easy to work with. I would 100% recommend her.”


“Daniela was so great with our two dogs! They had so much fun at her house today. We appreciated the pictures that she sent while they were there 😊”


“I usually send my dog to daycare to a different person and he goes there every Tuesday through Wednesday, sometimes Saturday if he needs extra energy out by running in the large backyard. But the regular daycare lady had to go on a trip to her family in Hawaii and I had no where to send my dog to. I couldn't let him stay at home for 8 hours while my husband and I work. I looked through rover and found Monica. My dog seem to have fun, had 3 walks with her. I usually get a lot of videos and pictures from daycare but this time with Monica, I got enough and felt assured that he's okay. Thank you for taking care of my dog.”


“Maria is amazing loving person . She took great care of our baby. She was letting us know every few minutes how’s our baby doing . Our baby is going back to spend another day with miss Maria. Would recommend this place to everyone who ever visiting camel beach or surrounding area.loved her service.”


About: Hi, I’m Christine, a dedicated animal lover and your go-to local pet sitter! Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight stay, or just giving your pet some company and care while you’re away — I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. I also have 3 loving children who would be very happy to see and give love to more fur animals.💗I’m excited to offer personalized, loving, and reliable pet care services in East Stroudsburg, PA. You’ll get photo and video updates, so you never miss a moment while you're away. Pet care is something I naturally incorporate into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m already used to planning my day around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and keeping pets comfortable and happy. Whether it’s mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I’m flexible and committed to making sure pets get the attention and care they need. I find that caring for animals fits well into my lifestyle and brings me a lot of joy and purpose. I live in a gated community, with alot of nature. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the family. I keep things clean, calm, and comfortable, and always supervise interactions with my kids, who are gentle and love animals.

“Chloe originally watched Lokki for me so I could take my brother to a concert a few weeks ago, but when he went in the ER for his heart she really came through for me and helped me out with dogsitting Lokki. She is not afraid or handling big goofy dogs and is a very kind person. Lokki loved his visit and I've got some cute pics to prove it. :)”


“Took great care of my dog. Sent pictures and would use again and recommend.”



“Alisha was comfortable taking care of my pup through a busy weekend and we collaborated successfully! Thank you so much Alisha, highly would recommend this sitter and will consider requests in the future!”


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.

“Maggie had a great time at Scott’s. We felt very comfortable leaving Maggie with Scott and when we returned to pick her up we could tell that she liked him and was comfortable there. She will definitely be visiting again.”


“We had a great experience with our pup Precious staying with Danielle. Her lovely place was very pet friendly. The location was very convenient for our day trip to Camelback Mountain.”

About: Taking care of animals is my calling! They love me and I love them. I’ve always enjoyed working with animals since a young age. I have worked in the dog grooming business training to hopefully own my own dog hotel in the near future! I also have worked at boarding facilities for dogs/cats.

She’s so sweet and her daughter as well. I highly recommend Tara, she’s really a puppy lover and has a great personality. I will definitely use Tara again to take care of my puppy.”

“We are so appreciative to Michele. She was sable to accommodate us at the last minute. Her home is so inviting and dog friendly. Mason, our golden doodle enjoyed his time immensely and needed to be cajoled to hop back into our car to get home! I’ve never seen that before! I think he wanted to stay longer. Mason was safe, well cared for and happy. We will certainly reach out to Michele to look after Mason the next time we are in town again!”


About: I have had dogs practically my entire life. Mostly mix breeds, but I love being around them and taking care of them. Providing them with love, cuddles, and play time. I work from home so I have the availability to take on walks around my neighborhood, play during the day, after work dog park trips (if ok with owners of course, Nuggets loves it there) If they come over for day care, I will treat them like I treat my own dog (who is treated like a prince) and will get many loves, cuddles and play throughout the day. If I need to go over and pick up the little furry friend, I treat others homes with respect and how I would want mine to be treated


“Im so happy I decided to leave my dog with James. Quiet space with a lot of space. I was late and there was not a problem to extend the care time. It gelt comfortable for me to leave my dog in this place!”

Christine has patience, and with my Lucky that is needed. He is a big dog and needs additional playtime during the day. From walks to belly rubs, Christine keeps my pup happy and engaged. She is always very communicative, keeping me updated on their day and checking when she departs. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a very sweet, friendly and responsible pet caretaker!”
