Dog Sitting in Duryea

About: I have learned a lot from our one dog especially over the years. I attended trainings for him to help him and he is thriving today. I have also done dog walking with wag for a year. I may be able to do some services after 4pm during the week. I am available mostly every weekend for services. It all depends on the service needed. I won't be offering services in my own home since our one dog suffers with anxiety. I will follow the rules with whatever the client is saying. I will ensure a safe and loving environment for your babies.

About: ​Hi, I’m Tamera! I run Happy Howls Daycare and Walkies, where I bring over 11 years of professional pet care experience to every visit. ​One of my favorite aspects of this work is puppy care and foundational training. I understand the patience and consistency required for young dogs—from reinforcing potty schedules to working on basic leash manners and socialization. Whether you have a high-energy pup or a senior dog who needs a gentle pace, I tailor my care to their specific life stage. ​You’ll notice my last Rover review was in 2017; since then, I have been operating as a self-employed pet care provider for private clients. I’m returning to Rover now to meet new families and share my decade-plus of expertise with your furry friends. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and dedicated to making sure every "howl" is a happy one! I myself have 2 cats and 1 dog. I currently reside with my mother in a 4 bedroom house. My mother owns 5 cats, 1 small dog, and a ferret. All are friendly. Keep in mind if youd want care in my home. :) As a professional pet care provider, my daily and weekly schedule is designed entirely around the needs of my furry clients. Because I manage Happy Howls Daycare and Walkies as my primary focus, I am able to offer a high level of flexibility and dedicated attention that fits into a structured routine: ​Morning Energy (7:00 AM – 10:00 AM): My day starts early with morning 'potty breaks' and active walks. This is the prime time for puppies who are working on their training and need consistent outdoor reinforcement first thing in the morning. ​Mid-Day Adventures (11:00 AM – 3:00 PM): This block is dedicated to my core walking routes and daycare guests. I schedule midday visits to ensure dogs get their much-needed exercise and socialization while their owners are at work. ​Afternoon Wind-Down (4:00 PM – 6:00 PM): I focus on late-afternoon walks and feeding schedules. For daycare pups, this is a time for calm play and getting them ready for their evening transition back home. ​Seven-Day Availability: While my busiest days are Monday through Friday, I am also available for weekend 'walkies' and daycare by request. This ensures that whether it’s a standard work week or a busy weekend, your pet has a consistent and familiar face to look forward to. ​Throughout the day, I maintain a very organized schedule. I make sure to leave plenty of time between visits so I am never rushed, allowing me to give each dog my full attention, work on training cues, and send plenty of photo updates to you. When your pet stays with me, my home becomes their second home. I focus on creating a calm, structured environment where they can feel secure while you’re away." ​Safety First: I maintain a 'paws-on-the-floor' policy for greetings to keep excitement levels manageable, especially for puppies in training. My home is fully pet-proofed to ensure a hazard-free stay. ​Routine & Structure: I mirror your dog's home routine as closely as possible—including specific feeding times, nap schedules, and any 'house rules' you have in place. ​Supervised Socialization: If multiple dogs are present, interactions are always 100% supervised. I use my experience to read body language and ensure every pup feels comfortable and respected. ​Cleanliness: I maintain high sanitation standards to keep everyone healthy and happy. ​In Your Home: Walkies & Drop-Ins ​"My goal for home visits is to provide high-quality care while leaving your home exactly as I found it—with the addition of a very happy dog!" ​Secure Entry & Exit: I am extremely diligent with home security. I double-check that all doors and gates are locked and that security systems are reset upon my departure. ​The Walk Experience: Safety is my priority on 'walkies.' I use sturdy leashes, avoid high-traffic or 'unpredictable' areas, and keep a close eye on the pavement temperature and weather conditions. ​Puppy/Senior Care: For clients at your home, I customize the visit. For puppies, this includes cleaning any accidents and reinforcing potty training; for seniors, it may involve gentle mobility assistance or administering medication. ​Detailed Check-ins: I will let you know when they nap, eat, and do their business

“Sarah has been a huge help with our golden retriever, Sadie! Sarah is accommodating, awesome with animals, and so sweet! Would highly recommend.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attentiveness, and personalized care I give to every pet. I take the time to understand each animal’s routine, personality, and comfort needs so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m experienced with puppy care (including basic training and potty routines), senior pets who may need extra support or medication reminders, and cats of all temperaments—from shy and quiet to playful and curious. Whether it’s structured walks, enrichment play, calm companionship, or keeping a consistent routine, I tailor my care to what each pet needs most. My goal is to make your dogs and cats feel genuinely loved and to give you complete peace of mind. I currently work full time. I am available after 4pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. I will communicate if my schedule does change. When caring for pets—whether in my home or in yours—I focus on safety, comfort, and maintaining a routine that helps them feel secure. I follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet’s routine as familiar as possible. I handle feeding, walks, litter care, medication (if needed), playtime, and cuddles just as you request. I’m respectful of your space, keep things tidy, and provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I also pay attention to behavior and energy changes to ensure they’re happy and comfortable while you’re away. No matter the location, my priority is creating a safe, loving, and low-stress environment where your pets feel cared for and understood.

“Tammy was an amazing pet sitter for my four cats while I was gone on vacation!! I just needed her for two drop in visits originally, but she was available at a moments notice when I needed to add another date + for a quick emergency visit to the house because my cat knocked over his water fountain. My cats liked her a lot and she always sent plenty of photos :) Next time we have to travel I will absolutely see if she's available to check on them again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life starting with a family pet grooming business. Beyond that I’ve cared for family and friends dogs as needed. My two most common pups I take care of are a golden doodle and cattle dog mix. I work from home full time, which means I can do early morning (done by 8:30 am), lunch time (approx 11-1) and evening visits (after 5:30 pm). On weekends I’m available more time slots. If you’re unsure if I can fit your needs just ask! I have experience doing feeding, potty breaks on a leash, as well as in fenced in yards. The more detail/instructions you provide on care needed the better I can provide that. I am and will continue to be respectful of your dog and your property. If you have any specific questions please let me know.

“Mary is a wonderful sitter! She had long drop in visits with my cat Lola and provided a detailed description of the visit and plenty of pictures. Thank you!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I have been around animals my entire life, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. I also have experience caring for senior dogs. My own dog has since passed away, but I helped care for him throughout his later years, which taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and providing extra comfort and support. Because of this experience, I am comfortable giving medications, helping pets stick to their routines, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and affection. Whether that means going on walks, playing fetch, providing  activities, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply spending quality time cuddling and keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Since I am currently a college student and school is out, I have a lot of free time and a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of attention to the pets in my care. I also work as a babysitter, but Rover is my top priority job. I make sure to schedule my time carefully so that every pet receives the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, or simply spending quality time together, I am committed to providing reliable and attentive care. Because of my flexible availability, I can easily accommodate different routines and help pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently have three cats who, despite not paying rent, are very well taken care of! Caring for them is a big part of my daily routine. I make sure they receive their daily feedings, fresh water, interactive playtime, plenty of attention, and daily litter box cleanings to keep their environment clean and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible so their pets feel safe and comfortable. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, administering medications if needed, and providing lots of love and companionship. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel cared for while their owners are away. My goal is always to provide dependable care, maintain a clean environment, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: Hi, I'm Aly! I am available for dog walking and drop-ins; I am also open to taking care of your cats.I have experience administering insulin as well since my cat has had diabetes. I have a large fenced in yard they could run around in. I have about 10 years of pet care experience (walking, feeding, potty breaks, etc). I will walk your pup as often as you like. Being a pet owner I understand what an important part of the family our dogs are, and would provide the best care possible. I have owned dogs my entire life, and will treat your fur baby like it is my own and we'll have the best time! I will always keep you updated with pictures & status updates :) I am very patient, responsible, and punctual.... I can't wait to meet you and your pup! Looking forward to hearing from you! My schedule is really open and flexible right now. I can make myself available anytime during 8AM - 5PM but I can be flexible if needed. As a remote worker and proud cat parent, I’m used to structuring my day around feeding schedules, playtime, and regular check-ins. Whether it’s giving morning meds, refreshing food and water, or simply providing some companionship, I enjoy making animals feel safe and loved. Caring for pets isn’t a chore—it’s a rewarding part of my everyday life. In both settings, I prioritize open communication with pet owners to understand each pet’s unique needs and preferences, ensuring a personalized and caring experience for every pet.

About: I have been researching animals and animal care since I was able to read, I was always at the library as a kid! I worked as a dog trainer at PetSmart for two years (worked with the company for three years total!) and have met and worked with a variety of breeds. I volunteered at a dog shelter all throughout highschool as well. I have had many animals of my own and have even fostered orphaned kittens and puppies in the past! Working with animals gives me a purpose I cannot find anywhere else :) I work half remotely so I have plenty of open availability, let me know what works best with you! I'm always willing to make accommodations. When watching your pets at your home I would likely ask many questions regarding you/your pets routine so I can make things as comfortable for your pet as possible! I would never leave the pet unattended unless directed otherwise! I have experience handling large, strong breeds of dogs and have no doubt in my capabilities to keep your pet safe and comfortable.

“Ashlynn did a fine job caring for our cats.”

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets. I am currently unemployed so taking care of your dog(s) is my top priority! So whether it’s staying at your house over night, or just coming in occasionally to check on your dog, I’m your guy! I work well with dogs in any environment, big yards, small yards, or even no yard at all. I am very good at commanding dogs & keeping them out of trouble while also letting them have fun at the same time.

Dogs really love my yard and patio and the ease of going outside from the patio doors. This house is a perfect set up for dogs.

“I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Victoria! This was the first I left me cats for an extended period (16 days) and the first I used Rover. Victoria was incredible to deal with and took great care of my 2 cats. Each day she spent time playing, feeding and cleaning up after them and also sent me 8-10 pics each day! Knowing she was caring foe my girls allowed be to enjoy the trip of a lifetime. I am so thankful I found her!”

About: I have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I've housetrained three of my own [all of which are happily old man living around the country], enjoy long walks on the through parks and giving belly rubs that last eternity. I also, surprisingly enough, do not mind giving dogs their bathes in between grooming visits [if they get those pampering spa days to themselves, of course]. Brushing, playing fetch, and of course - tug of war reign supreme. But so does chilling on the couch watching the Puppy-Bowl or dog show with a fuzzy little space heater wedged between me and the arm of the couch. If I were to be reincarnated, I would definitely choose a dog. They just have the life. **I do work full time\ in Plains, PA from 6:30am - 3:30pm. I have to go home and rescue my senior dog from his crate for a bit of a stretch and dinner before I really do anything else Monday - Friday. But I am available on the weekend! I play Dungeons and Dragons on Friday and Saturday nights!** I work during the week, and I play dungeons and dragons on the weekends. But I am more than happy to do some drop-ins or walks during the day on Saturdays and Sundays to let you have more out and about time! Drop-in visits and walks rely on a good relationship between visitor (me) and the animal that is being walked or visited. They get easier over time, and everyone loves making new friends!

“Andrew comes highly recommended. He is extremely dependable, thorough, and spends every minute of that window with your pet. He is very communicative, flexible, and further, is a consummate professional. Your pet is in good hands and to this day we take advantage of his availability every time we get the opportunity.”

“Jessica was delightful. She sent pictures and videos as well as notes on the visits. I knew my pets were well taken care of. Infact they were fine when I came home. They weren't acting like a had been away. Maybe they miss Jessica. 🤷‍♀️”
