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.
About: Taking care of your pet, as if you were taking care of my one year old, beagle mix puppy that I do have at home! Currently I have a very easy, open and flexible schedule. You and yours will be my #1 priority. My routine always works around you, and your furry friend. Depending on what services are needed, I am very open for different service options. I have no problem crating animals if needed/wanted. Treat/feed options as well.
“Chloe took excellent care of our fur baby, Luna. She kept us updated on Luna’s well-being and shared photos that showed how cozy and comfortable Luna was with her. The updates were so reassuring! I’ll definitely be booking with Chloe again in the future.”
“Halona was wonderful with Rocky. We got lots of pictures and we know our big fella had a good time. Rocky was being watched during our wedding weekend and Halona was able to bring Rocky out to us for a few quick pictures. It was a very busy day with plans changing and it was such a bonus that she could work with us. Thank you!”
“Matt was absolutely wonderful! We got married in Bethlehem PA (we live in FL) and I felt so confident my boys were in great hands. Matt was so communicative and sent so many pictures and videos. 100/10 would book with Matt again!”
“I highly recommend Michelle! Bailey was well taken care of and they made her comfortable even with her separation anxiety. Thank you and will book again :)”
“Marleny and Luis are great to our pups. They always have a great time with them. We always feel comfortable knowing our dogs are in good caring hands!”
About: I will gladly help with your dog, and hopefully, it will also work well for mine. I have a seven-year-old English Springer Spaniel who will enjoy the company. Make sure to submit proof of valid vaccination to the sitter RABIES/BORDETELLA/DISTEMPER. Like a family member who needs time, it also depends on the size and habits of your pet and the daily needs of your pupil. Like a family member who needs time, it also depends on the size and habits of your pet and the daily needs of your pupil.
About: With years of experience walking and dog-sitting dozens of breeds—from high-energy hounds to mellow seniors—I’ve learned to adapt to every pup’s unique needs and personality. I work from home full-time, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, cuddles, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. My home is shared with two incredibly friendly, well-socialized doodles who love making new doggy friends. We have a spacious yard for outdoor fun, and plenty of cozy spots indoors for rest and relaxation. I’m extremely patient, calm, and attentive, and I’m happy to accommodate most special requests, from medication schedules to specific walking routines. Let me know how I can make your dog’s stay as safe, comfortable, and fun as possible! **54 FIVE STAR RATINGS ON WAG** I work from home and am a home body by nature. So I will always be around to make sure your dog is stimulated, happy, healthy, and calm. I have many staggered breaks throughout the day, and will work with you to determine best play/walk/feeding schedule. I care so much about providing an incredible experience, catering to your dogs every need. I am exceedingly patient, and understand how to communicate with a dog to make them feel as comfortable as possible.
About: I’ve owned 2 German Shepherds over the last 20 years- from puppy to senior & currently own a 5 year old mutt - since 8 weeks (she truly is a mix of everything) I am dog obsessed and can’t wait to get to know your yours! I work from home every Monday & Friday with hour long lunch breaks and am around most weekends! Plenty of time to care for another pup! I have a fenced in yard and a 5 year old puppy who would love to keep your dog busy! Dogs are family and should feel more than comfortable here!
“Amanda was so easy to work with and took great care of our sweet Zuzu! The entire process from start to finish was seamless and our pup came home very happy.
