House Sitting in Pocono Laurel Lake

“Cristel was absolutely amazing to have house sit and care for our cats - she left our house in better condition than we left it! Can’t thank her enough for being an incredible sitter and taking such great care of our cats and our home.”

“Andrew was a lifesaver. I’m an anxious dog mom who was leaving for an international trip over Christmas and Andrew put my mind at ease. My dog has some stranger danger and it took some time to get her comfortable b it andrew was incredibly patient, kind, and full of knowledge re: dog behavior so the adjustment was quick and he got her comfortable in no time! I got plenty of pictures and updates and I know my pup had a great time. My home was left cleaner than it was when I left. THANK YOU, Andrew!!”

“This was a last minute booking, and then the details changed the day before due to a member of my family being hospitalized. Wilfred rolled with the changes and adjusted when to arrive and leave my house in order to give my pup a nice intermission from being stuck at home alone. Very communicative, conscientious, and punctual, with a genuine love and care for animals. Will definitely book again when needed.”

“Lexie stayed in my home for four nights and did a wonderful job caring for my dog. She was attentive to all of his little quirks and made sure he felt comfortable and secure. One night he was upset by an animal outside, and Lexie even got up in the middle of the night to comfort him, a level of care that really shows her dedication. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a house just as I left it. I would absolutely recommend Lexie to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and compassionate sitter.”

About: Since I was a child, I’ve been surrounded by beloved companions of all walks of life. Taking care of your companions is not just a responsibility but a genuine pleasure to me! I’m excited to offer trust, reassurance, and authentic love that you and your companions deserve. As someone who had a Golden Retriever, I understand what it feels like leaving your baby at home. I’m committed to providing you the peace of mind that your baby is receiving the love and care they deserve. I’m highly flexible and eager to accommodate a schedule that works best for both of us. The more notice you can provide, the better I can tailor my services to fit your needs. When your companion stays with me, they’ll enjoy a safe and comfortable environment. My home offers plenty of space to roam and play, including a large, open yard. I currently have a 8 month old kitten, Spirit, that is friendly with all animals. If needed, I can provide separate spaces for Spirit and your companion to ensure everyone’s comfort. I am happy to provide what you and your companion needs to feel secure!

“Elizabeth did a great job with Mack and Aries, while I was out of town. She took them for multiple walks per day and respected my home. We already have a other stay booked with Elizabeth!”

About: With over 15 years of experience caring for all types of dogs and cats, I provide dependable, loving care that keeps pets comfortable and owners at ease. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, and from playful kittens to shy, sensitive cats. My approach is patient, attentive, and tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I’m skilled in daily feeding schedules, walks, litter box and potty routines, medication administration, and reading pet body language to keep them safe and happy. Whether it’s active playtime, quiet companionship, or special-needs support, I make sure every pet feels secure and cared for. I also offer responsible house sitting, maintaining your home while making sure your pets stick to their normal routines. You can count on reliable updates, clean spaces, and a trustworthy presence while you’re away. I work from home Monday-Friday 9-5, with a very flexible schedule. i can work from anywhere, including your home so your babies are never alone during the day. My house is smoke free, no children or pets. I am available for most situations and schedules. Caring for Pets in My Home When pets stay in my home, I create a calm, comfortable environment that feels like a second home to them. I maintain their regular feeding, walking, and play routines so they stay relaxed and happy. Pets get plenty of attention, safe indoor/outdoor time (as allowed), and a clean space to rest. I focus on making their stay stress-free with consistent structure, affection, and supervision. Caring for Pets in Your Home (House Sitting / Drop-Ins) When I care for pets in your home, I prioritize keeping them in the routine they know best. I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter box care, and any household rules you have in place. I’m respectful of your space, keep everything clean, and make sure your home stays secure while you're away. I give lots of one-on-one attention, provide updates, and ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar surroundings. General / Covers Both Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, my goal is the same: to provide reliable, personalized care based on their needs and routines. I make sure they stay comfortable, happy, and well-loved, with plenty of affection, playtime, and attention to detail. I adapt to each pet’s personality—whether they’re shy, energetic, or need extra support—to give them the best experience possible.

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!

“5 STARS!!!!! We absolutely love booking with Arianna, and our two dogs love her even more. We have so much peace of mind leaving them at home with her; we know they are in safe and incredibly capable hands. We were out of town for under two weeks, and knowing we had someone at home taking care of and loving our babies just like we would made our trip even better! We highly recommend booking Arianna to watch your fur babies, and we can't wait to book her again in the future!”

“Andrew was great with our two Great Danes! He sent multiple updates with pictures each day. He was punctual and very respectful. Will use him again for sure”

About: Hi! My name is Deja, and I’m someone who has loved and cared for animals my entire life. I grew up with both cats and dogs and currently have experience caring for multiple pets of my own, including 4 cats and 2 dogs. Over the last 1–2 years, I’ve also gained hands-on pet care experience outside of my own home. As a therapist, compassion, patience, and attentiveness are a huge part of who I am, and I bring those same qualities into the care I provide for every pet. What makes me stand out is the level of care, patience, and emotional attentiveness I bring to animals. I genuinely see pets as beings with feelings, emotions, and unique personalities, and I treat them with the same kindness and respect I would give another person. Being a therapist has strengthened my ability to be calm, observant, trustworthy, and responsive to individual needs, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure around me. I don’t just “watch” pets — I build connection, provide comfort, and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. I recently earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and currently work part-time as a therapist while continuing to grow my caseload. Pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy and intentionally include in my schedule because caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. Since I work part time, I’m able to dedicate focused attention, patience, and quality care to the pets I work with rather than treating it like a rushed side job. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and emotional needs, so I approach each animal with compassion, empathy, and attentiveness. Whether your pet needs playtime, comfort, companionship, or gentle patience, I will treat them with the same love and care I would give my own pets.

“Jennifer was fantastic with our dog Murphy! She kept him very active and even helped with some of his training. She left the house in pristine condition and sent plenty of pictures while we were away. I cannot recommend Jennifer highly enough, you'll be so glad to have her caring for your pup!”

“I felt extremely safe leaving my anxious pup with Thalia! I was updated during the day and was very reassured when I expressed concern about Morti’s behaviors. Definitely going to book with Thalia again!”

About: I have had cats since I was born! I have many years of experience and consider myself well versed when it comes to kitties. I have taken care of many cats in my lifetime and am comfortable with all personalities and needs. Even "difficult" kitties become my friend in no time. I currently have 5 cats, two who have medical needs. Time and experience has helped me become knowledgeable in taking care of cats who may require special care such as medicine administration and senior needs. I work full time as a medical assistant and I am also a licensed massage therapist. Compassion and attention to detail come naturally to me! I provide stress free care for your pets while you're away. I currently work full time, Monday-Friday, 9am to 5pm. I can do after work drop ins/feedings on the weekdays. I am available on the weekends for house sitting and longer visits. I know how important routine is. Your pet thrives off having their routine thrown off as little as possible. My goal is give the best care possible while honoring their space.

I grew up with 2 dogs and 2 cats and now I have two rescue birds and cats that go inside and outside.. my dog Chance unfortunately passed on me last December from cancer. 11years old. Miss hun terribly. But anyway, I help people all the time in my area with their fur babies and I also help locate lost ones homes I’m open! I been getting myself together for the past almost 2 years now. I’ve got a wonderful girlfriend who loves me unconditionally and supports me in all I do or wanna do I treat them like my own. Spoiled rotten.. but of course rules will be followed from the owner! I’m very respectful like that. I wouldn’t want someone doing to me what I ms do to them

“Maurie has been a dream petsitter...she has a sixth in dealing with animals. Ever since we first contracted with Maurie to stay in our home and care for our four pets (two cats and two dogs), we've noticed distinct positive outcomes. Our pets are visibly calmer, happier, more rested, and less agitated and anxious. They all appear healthier and more trim. Maurie promotes long walks and consistent interaction with them, and she doesn't overdue giving them treats. Maurie is the greatest person...we recommend her wholeheartedly as a petsitter! Shawn and Jen McGlynn”

About: Hi there! I would love to have the honor of taking care of your fur babies! I have plenty of experience considering I have 9 dogs of my own... yes 9! Two big dogs and the rest are small to medium sized. So I am basically a dog walker at my own house just without the pay, haha. I am a recent college graduate from ESU with a BA in musical theatre but I would love to in the future become a veterinarian someday. My schedule is open and I also have my own transportation! I would describe myself as very reliable, kind, and caring. I hope you consider me to be your pups dog walker, I can promise you they will be in good hands!(:

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.
