“Emily is wonderful. I had my first puppy for less than 1 month when my work schedule demanded that I work a Saturday all day and night. I found Emily on Rover.com and trusted my instinct that she would be a great puppy sitter, for my puppy ...and for me. Before finding Emily I feared I'd spend 9 hours worried about my dog, and the day/ night would drag on feeling like forever. Thanks to Emily I had no worries whatsoever! I loved seeing the photos and video she sent, further boosting my confidence my dog was happy, healthy, safe and in the best of care. Please if you are seeking any services for dog sitting/ care, know that Emily and her household (her dogs, animals, and husband) are trustworthy, responsible, and the best! This coming from an over anxious first time puppy owner who was a complete stranger to Emily before luckily finding her on this website. I decided on utilizing Emily over friends/ family because of her knowledge and experience. Im so glad I did, it was the best choice. Thanks so much Emily, and I'll 100% be reaching out for future puppy care again! :)”

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

“Just picked up Spencer from his 5th visit with Sukari (and Tex). We feel lucky to have found someone who treats our dog as part of the family.  Thanks again!! 😊”

“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 😊”

“Buddy had a great time. Maria, took great care of Buddy and kept me posted every couple of hours about buddy. She is very accommodating. Thanks Maria”

“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.”

“Ashley was a life saver for us as she responded to our last minute late night request and even came to pick up our pup. She was very responsive and kept us up to date with pictures/videos of Gatsby, which helped to put our mind at ease. I recommend Ashley for daycare and boarding. We picked up our pup happy and almost sad to leave. Thanks Ashley!”

“So sweet and very caring!!! 10/10 recommend!!!”

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.

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

“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.”

About: As a proud owner of a Great Dane, I’ve gained firsthand insight into the unique needs and challenges that come with caring for larger breeds, and I’m well-equipped to manage dogs of all sizes with their energy, health, and well-being!🐾 As a student-athlete, my schedule can be pretty packed during the season, but right now, I'm in the off-season, which gives me more flexibility to dedicate time to pet care. I make sure to prioritize pet sitting around my routine, whether it’s morning walks, playtime, or administering care. I structure my day to allow plenty of time for the pets I care for, ensuring they get attention, exercise, and love! When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, safety and trust are my top priorities. In my own home, I ensure that the environment is pet-friendly and secure, with designated spaces for pets to play, rest, and feel comfortable. At client’s home, I follow their guidelines carefully to make sure their pets feel at ease in their familiar surroundings. I always take extra precautions to pet-proof the area, ensure doors and gates are securely closed, and maintain a calm, consistent routine for the pets.

“James has an excellent background in dog behavior, training, and handling. He volunteers with a dog rescue group and has worked with rescued ‘problem dogs’ that were not socialized or were abused. He can handle those frightened dogs in a way that both the dogs, and others around him, feel safe. Because of his deep love of dogs, he is patient and kind with all dogs. His work socializing abused dogs that came from a dog hoarder has provided him with experience and understanding that few others can match! I highly recommend James as a dog walker and pet sitter.”

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. I have found that I truly love anything that provides a better space for animal boarding/care. I’m excited to have expanded my experience in dog sitting/walking! I will be offering grooming to the pups I dog sit/walk so feel free to ask about getting a bath/groom! I currently clean Airbnb’s part time. Recently it’s been even slower than part time working only 1 day a week. I can provide my services so long as the dates are available on my schedule! :) Each pet would be cared for differently according to their needs. Lots of love will be given to each dog I sit/walk, if allowed a few treats and toys for good behavior, and safety for the dogs and myself will be the main priority.

“Lizzy has so much love in her heart. She is a gentle soul and full of fun and smiles. She is amazing with animals and very responsible. She takes special care of anything she has been blessed to take care of.”

“Cindy can guarantee that your pet will have the best photos and an enjoyable experience while in her care. She is dedicated to ensuring that every dog she looks after has a fantastic day, which includes going on plenty of walks and helping to develop your pup's skills with new tricks.”

“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: When I’m not taking care of my students at school, as a teacher, I’m taking wonderful care of my family and friend’s pet-kiddos. I am obsessed with animals and have been blessed with my own for 14 years. I was honored to be a pup-mama to two amazing Pekingese puppers before they crossed the rainbow bridge and is a head-over-heels mama to my tuxedo cat, Keebler. I love to provide all animals with safe and loving care! Ensuring their well-being and safety is my priority. I currently work as a full-time special ed. teacher, therefore, my schedule is open during after school hours and my WEEKENDS are available! Most holidays will be available due to school breaks. I keep my calendar updated regularly and will share when I am not available. Keeping your fur baby safe is so important to me! I make sure that your fur baby is in a safe and clean environment, providing a comfortable space for all animals! If you prefer your fur baby to be placed in a separate area away from other pets, I have the available space and baby gates to ensure that request.

“4 paw review - Christine is the BEST! She is a great pet-sitter! She loves animals, big and small, and treats them as though they were her own. 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!”
