“Once again, Christian came to care for our 18 year old cat while we were away. Having someone who is confident, comfortable, on time and trustworthy to care for our old cat gives us great peace of mind.”
“Gwen took excellent care of my 16 year old cat Polly while we were away. Polly is a sensitive cat and it can take some time for her to warm up to new people. Gwen had no problem giving Polly her liquid oral meds in our absence. I was able to have peace of mind during my vacation knowing Polly was in good hands.”

“John is very polite and took great care of our girl. She is normally very shy and hides from new people. Most of the time anyone that is taking care of her when we are not here, never gets to see her. Lovey not only came out to see John but allowed him to pet her and play with her. Very impressed with John's updates and his professionalism. I was a bit nervous using this site for the first time, but it was a great decision and John turned out to be our new pet-sitter! ER”


About: Grew up with dogs (Labradors, golden retriever, pit bull, and King Charles Cavalier) and cats. Took care of a litter of kittens from my first cat. Ready to give belly scratches. I work full-time during the week 8 to 5. I would be able to work on weekends and weekday nights. The time I have, I will make free for you as I’m trying to save for my wedding I would be able to drive to your home or location to give your pets food, affection, and potty breaks. Pets normally gravitate to me and I can understand pet body language.
“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.”


“Jenna communicates so well! Inga is a rescue who had a rough 2 years as a pup. It has taken Inga 14 years of TLC from us to get to where she is - lovable and sweet. Jenna is experienced and knows how to approach Inga and win her over her affection. Kudos to Jenna❣️”
“I’m so happy I found Jahada! She is a reliable and experienced animal lover. I can’t say enough good things about her. I will definitely ask her to watch Riley and Cinnabun again.”

About: Hi! My name is Karina, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had four large dogs, four cats, and small pets all at the same time, so caring for animals of all kinds has always come naturally to me. I graduated from SUNY Delhi with a degree in Veterinary Technology, where I received professional training and hands-on experience working with both small and large animals. My background gives me the knowledge and confidence to care for pets with attention to their health, safety, and individual needs. Today, I share my home with three cats and help care for my dad's rescue pit bull, so I understand the importance of finding someone you can trust with your furry family members. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, companionship, medication administration, or just some extra love while you're away, I will treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. Certified, experienced, and passionate about animals—I can't wait to meet your pets! 🐾 I’m an elementary school teacher so I have summers off. I am available Monday-Friday from 9am-3pm but can also sometimes make other times or weekends work depending on the notice given! When going to a client’s home I like to make sure I treat it like my own! I know how important it is to be very careful and mindful of ensuring that your pet doesn’t get out of the house, is left from my care with everything they need for the rest of their day, and have someone who is constantly vigilant. Whether you have a fenced in backyard, just want me to pop in and stay inside to play with your pet, or take them for a walk, I always make sure that I am aware of my surroundings and are careful to keep your pet, myself, and others, safe and healthy. Please let me know if your dog has any specific health issues, allergies, or behavioral issues, such as aggression towards other dogs, reactive toward animals, or people.

About: My family has owned a pet sitting business in Stroudsburg, called IOU Pet Care, for 15+ years. The first job I ever had was going to people’s homes and walking their pups for an hour, checking food and water bowls as well as litter boxes, or even staying the night there. For the past 15 years, since I was 15 years old, I’ve cared for almost every species of house pet you can think of, in just about every way that the owners needed. I genuinely love animals. Playing with them, training them, caring for them, it’s such a rewarding experience for both of us. I have 4 cats and 2 dogs of my own, and they make my life so much better. I’m always building cat walls and catios, new interactive toys for the dogs, and whatever else I can do to give them all the best lives they could possibly have. When working with my family’s business, it’s always been “customized pet care needs.” I plan to stick with that. I have no allergies. I’ve cared for all ages and sizes of cats, dogs, fish, birds, hamsters, and probably a few other species that aren’t coming to mind at the moment. I can walk, hike, run, feed, clean up after, and administer some medication to a vast majority of your pets. Let me know what you’re looking for, and as long as I can do it, I will!
“Laura responded quickly to my request. My neighbor said she was professional and a natural dog person. Laura was prompt, checked in and let me know how my dogs did. I recommend Laura and hope to use her services again in the future.”

“Autumn did a great job! She gave attention to all 5 cats, fed them and played with them. One cat needed a pill and the other an insulin injection. She did great and we would have her sit for us again!”

What an excellent caregiver. John was the first person I ever hired to do a drop-in care for my cats, both indoor and a colony that lives on my property. John showed his dedication to caring with being timely, listening and execution of the care requested along with updates at each visit. Bottom line, John does not disappoint, you can have peace of mind with him to care for your pet family.
