Doggy Day Care in Pocono Pines

“Sophie and Finn seemed to do well and were calm and not stressed. And that’s really amazing for Sophie with a new person. Enjoyed meeting Jahada & her fiancé both are nice, friendly people. We definitely want to leave the dogs with them the next time we’re in the area.”

About: 🐾 Virlyn and Vanessa 🐾 I was born into a family of pets of all kinds. I also did voluntary animal rescue with my mom from the age of four up until leaving for college. I have cared for a maximum of 30 personal pets and rescues at once while also working at a veterinary clinic as an assistant for two years before leaving for college. My mom and I would love to help you care for your fur babies in our free time. We are available for boarding, drop-ins and walks on weekdays and most weekends. We are very flexible with our time so reach out, were more than likely able to accomodate you. If your pet is crate trained we can easily accommodate them in our home. For drop-ins however there is no special requirements, just leave your fur babies as you would whenever you leave for the day.

“I got a new puppy this year and Shelby was so so helpful to me. She guided me through everything on proper care, potty training, and general tips and tricks! She is the best when it comes to caring for animals. My puppy Maya was no stranger to her since she would always watch her whenever I would be away or didn’t have time to walk her. I would definitely recommend Shelby for her dog services aside from her already being one of my greatest friends ever.”

“My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the care Joann and Angelina provided for Minnie! From the moment we met, I knew my Minnie would be in good hands. She sent regular updates and photos, which made me feel so reassured. My Minnie came back home happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. Joann’s attention to detail and genuine love for animals really showed. Highly recommend and will definitely book again! Thank you for treating Minnie like family! She misses Remi already !!!!”

“This was our first time using Rover or Maria’s services and we are so happy we did! Our little Charlie (who is usually very nervous about new places and new people) ran right up to Maria’s door, and then to Maria. She happy to be there, which made us feel very comfortable to leave her for the day. She ate her whole bowl of food while she was there- a sign that she was content and at ease.”

“Great with my dog i have a husky that is very energetic. He loves brandon and gets excited every time I bring him back!! My husky stays with Brandon anytime Im out of town!”

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.

“Chloe originally watched Lokki for me so I could take my brother to a concert a few weeks ago, but when he went in the ER for his heart she really came through for me and helped me out with dogsitting Lokki. She is not afraid or handling big goofy dogs and is a very kind person. Lokki loved his visit and I've got some cute pics to prove it. :)”

“Astrid was amazing with our 10 month old, high energy puppy! Our boy was visibly sad leaving her home and is already set up for his second day care visit. We're so glad to have found Astrid! Thank you Astrid for taking such good care of Loki!”

“Incredible sitter! Cristel was so sweet she took great care of our puppy and provided frequent updates. Thank you for providing the attention and care that Thalia needed. Highly recommend to anyone looking for awesome and trustworthy pet care!!”

“Matthew watched my babies for me for a weekend and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! He made my big boy feel comfortable and kept my girl occupied. He made sure to keep me updated on how their days went as well. My dogs can’t wait to go back again.”

“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.”

“Jean is absolutely amazing! She’s very accommodating. We planned a last minute trip to the water park before heading home and couldn’t have been more fortunate to find Jean. Our girl Mya loved her visit. We plan to use Jean in the future when we return for another visit.”

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was a child, and my flexible schedule allows me to be home with them all day while working. I live in a spacious three-floor condo at The Villages at Camelback in Tannersville, PA, offering plenty of room for your pets to relax and play. Situated slopeside of Camelback Mountain, I'm just a short drive from fantastic trails and state parks. I enjoy taking dogs on walks or to the dog park for some fun and exercise! My dog Simba is very friendly and gets along well with dogs of all sizes, while my curious 8-year-old cat, Felix, loves meeting new canine friends. I’d be happy to arrange a meet-and-greet so you can visit the condo and introduce Simba before scheduling a pet sitting or walk. I know how nerve wracking leaving your fur babies can be, so rest assured I'll provide plenty of updates and photos of the awesome times we have while your away! Both me and my partner Alex are huge animal lovers and will make sure your pets are as comfortable, happy, and loved as possible while you are gone. There's nothing better than knowing your pet is having a blast while you are away and we'll do whatever is needed for your pets to make that the case, whether it's snuggles and love, hours of zoomies, playing, and fetch, or a mix of the two we'll make sure they have an awesome stay! Both me and my partner Alex work from home Monday - Friday from 9 am to 6 pm and both have a flexible schedule during the day to take the dogs out for potty breaks and adventurous walks. We do at least 1 longer walk (40 minutes +) during the day with our dog Simba and will be happy to do more for more active dogs! Let us know your dogs activity level and we'll adjust our walking schedule as needed! We have a large space with multiple floors for the dogs to stretch out in. We are home the majority of the time and will only leave the dogs alone for 1-2 hours at most if we need to run errands or have outings. We are happy to crate if needed or provide whatever space your pets need to feel comfortable!

“I would highly recommend Sukari! She was so communicative and friendly, and went above and beyond our expectations. I noticed how thoughtful she was with our dog’s transition to a new place, taking him for a walk and easing him in. Our dog had a fun time with hers, and we loved getting photos throughout the stay. Thank you Sukari!!!”

“Leila was super accommodating with my schedule and easy to work with. I would 100% recommend her.”

About: I possess a unique combination of skills and experiences that set me apart from other sitters. My background includes specialized training in puppy training, which allows me to effectively teach basic commands and proper behavior to young dogs, ensuring they develop into well-mannered companions. Additionally, I have experience in senior pet care, where I have learned to recognize and address the specific needs of older animals, including administering medication and providing gentle exercise tailored to their abilities. Moreover, my ability to create a nurturing and stimulating environment for pets enhances their well-being. I prioritize building strong relationships with both pets and their owners, ensuring open communication about any concerns or updates during my time with their animals. My commitment to ongoing education in pet care and behavior further equips me to handle various situations with confidence and compassion. Overall, my blend of training, experience, and dedication to pet welfare distinguishes me as a sitter who genuinely cares for the animals in my charge. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, as it encompasses various responsibilities that ensure the well-being of my pets. Each day begins with feeding my pets, which not only provides them with the necessary nutrition but also establishes a consistent schedule that they can rely on. This routine is essential for their health and happiness, as animals thrive on predictability. In addition to feeding, daily walks are a critical component of my pet care routine. These walks not only provide my pets with exercise but also offer them the opportunity to explore their environment and socialize with other animals. This interaction is vital for their mental stimulation and overall well-being. Furthermore, I dedicate time each day to play with my pets, which strengthens our bond and keeps them engaged. Weekly tasks include grooming and cleaning their living spaces. Regular grooming helps maintain their hygiene and prevents health issues, while cleaning ensures a safe and comfortable environment for them. I also set aside time for veterinary check-ups and vaccinations, which are crucial for their long-term health. In summary, pet care is woven into my daily and weekly routine through feeding, exercising, playing, grooming, and maintaining their health. This commitment not only benefits my pets but also enriches my life, providing companionship and joy. ## Caring for Pets in a Home Environment ### Understanding Pet Needs Caring for pets requires an understanding of their specific needs, which can vary greatly depending on the type of pet and their individual personalities. For dogs, essential aspects include providing **adequate exercise**, **social interaction**, and **mental stimulation**. It's important to establish a routine that includes regular feeding times, walks, and playtime to ensure their overall well-being. ### Creating a Safe Environment In a home with pets, creating a **safe and comfortable environment** is crucial. This includes having a **fenced yard** for dogs to play in safely, which allows them to enjoy the outdoors while being secure. Additionally, providing a **designated space** for pets, such as a crate or a cozy bed, can help them feel secure and reduce anxiety when left alone. ### Socialization and Companionship Having other pets, like friendly dogs, can greatly benefit a new pet by providing **companionship** and opportunities for socialization. It's essential to monitor interactions between pets to ensure they are positive and safe. Engaging in play and introducing new toys can also help keep pets entertained and mentally stimulated. ### Health and Wellness Regular health check-ups and vaccinations are vital for maintaining a pet's health. Ensuring that pets are on a proper diet and have access to fresh water is also essential. In addition, being aware of any behavioral changes can help identify potential health issues early on, allowing for timely veterinary care. By understanding and addressing these key aspects of pet care, pet owners can ensure that their furry companions thrive in a loving and safe environment.
