Doggy Day Care Pocono Laurel Lake

“Getting better, my dogs, not the sitter. Our dogs are not used to being away from us or from home. We are prepping them for a weekend away. They did better today. They like Jahada and go with her easily, it's my mama dog who is still a little anxious. She will just pant though. Not exhibiting any other bad behaviors. She will use the bathroom while with Jahada, both poop and pee, which is fantastic because if she were to feel completely uneasy, she wouldn't do either. We're about to attempt an overnight stay! Thanks Jahada.”

“Leila was amazing, this was the first time Ash had been away from us since we got him last year. He was nervous and made a mess at Leila's, she was so kind about it! We are working on his anxiety and she made it much easier for us to leave him for the day. We will absolutely be using her again!”

About: I’m very attentive and careful with dogs—I have a wonderfully silly pup of my own, so I understand how curious (and mischievous!) they can be. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I’ll make sure they’re well-fed, well-cared for, and having plenty of fun while they’re with me. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from a sassy medium-sized Terrier to an extremely large, goofy Malamute/Husky. I’ve also regularly cared for my cousin’s Yorkies and currently share my home with a very loved Coonhound/Terrier mix. Because of this, I’m comfortable adapting to different energy levels, temperaments, and routines. I truly believe dogs deserve patience, affection, and consistency. I go above and beyond to ensure every dog in my care feels loved, secure, and never overlooked—just like they would at home. I work from home during the following hours, which allows me to provide frequent attention, potty breaks, and supervision: Monday–Friday: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM I work from home Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, allowing me to provide frequent potty breaks, meals, playtime, supervision, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day! I live in a spacious two-bedroom apartment designed to be a comfortable and safe environment for dogs. There are multiple cozy, high-quality dog beds throughout the space so pups always have options for relaxing and settling in. I also have a window perch overlooking Main Street, which dogs love for observing the world go by. My town is very walkable and dog-friendly, with several nearby businesses that welcome dogs—perfect for safe walks, enrichment, and (of course) quality people-watching. My own dog is extremely gentle and well-socialized—best described as a “cat in a dog’s body.” She is calm, respectful of other dogs’ space, and enjoys playful interactions when invited, making her a great companion for visiting pups.

“Thank you Michelle! She was great with my problem fur baby. Sent me pictures and updates all day during his stay. Would highly recommend Michelle!”

About: My name is Monica. I have taken care of pets for over 29 years. I currently have 3 cats both neutered. One is a senior 15 yrs old, then there is 7 yrs and 1 yr. They keep to themselves. Over the years many dogs and cats have came and went each showing their individuality. Each pet has a need which will be met according to your standards. If you book me for a Board or even a day stay I promise to have you and your furry friend 100% satisfied. I can also walk them,and do drop bys. Your pet will always have someone around in my home(if they like children). It can be hard to find someone as trustworthy as it is for me. They are just as much children and finding the right person takes time. I'm willing to show I am trustworthy And will treat them as my own. I have 3 floors,so if any pets I care for needs personal space I can accommodate. We also have a spare room where they can relax. Due to health I can only take dogs up to 18 lbs. Please note my drop-off and pickup fee is for within a 15 mile radius. If you need pickup outside that range higher fees apply. I'm a stay at home mom who works from home. I am flexible. Other then appointments and cooking. I'm usually available during the week and most weekends. My house has unfenced yard I have 2 floors,so if any pets I care for needs personal space I can accommodate. We also have a spare room where they can relax.

“Liddy always has a nice time visiting with Alexandra. She was wagging her tail and happy when we arrived and had just woken up from a nap in front of the fire when we arrived to pick her up. Liddy will be back again to stay with Alexandra the next time we are in the Poconos.”

About: As a nature-loving Poconos local, I bring a mix of deep care and joyful energy to every walk. I was the proud mama of a small dog who lived to be 15— she my best friend and like a child to me—so I understand the depth of love, trust, and nuance that comes with caring for a beloved fur baby. Whether your pup is sprightly or senior, playful or shy, I tune into their personality and pace. I offer more than just care—I offer connection, trust, and peace of mind. I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to offer consistent, reliable walks throughout the day. I’m happy to communicate updates, photos, or notes so you always feel connected and confident. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I bring a calm, attentive presence to every walk, always keeping a close eye on surroundings, leash safety, and your fur baby’s well-being. With years of experience as a devoted dog mama, I understand how to build trust—through consistency, gentle communication, and honoring each dog’s unique needs.

“What a gift! Very organized and very knowledgeable. She eased my fears with her constant videos. Excellent communicator and responds almost immediately. You can immediately tell that she has been working with pets and pet owners for a while. My dog was scard at first...by day 2...her tail was wagging high in the air and I knew she was ok. When we got home...she was the same bubbly dog I knew. Highly recommend”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and other pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a Yorkshire Terrier, a Mini Goldendoodle, and a ferret, so caring for animals is part of my daily life. I have experience with basic training, administering medications, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. I personally trained my dog to become a service animal, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to build trust with animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I make sure each pet receives plenty of attention and care. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine and will do my best to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walks, and daily routines to help pets feel secure and stress-free. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs while providing plenty of affection, exercise, and companionship. I respect both the pet’s environment and the owner’s home, ensuring everything is kept clean, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to provide reliable care and peace of mind while you’re away.

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.

“Popi had a very relaxing time. Marleny is great at letting dogs be themselves. He boards here next month and am looking forward to him having a great time. As long as she's available I'll be a repeater.”

“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!”

“Inky had the best time! Kadie was super responsive before the booking and sent great photos and updates throughout the day. Will definitely be booking again!!”

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! Currently I work full time at a veterinary facility/grooming facility. 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.

“Great sitter! Was able to accommodate last minute.”

“Archie really enjoyed his stay with George and family. He was very comfortable around them when we picked him up. I will use them again.”
