“Rochelle showed up on time and showed just how much she cared to get the job done. My dogs were not going to cooperate today, but she stayed to calm them and got what they needed done. Thank you, Rochelle!”
About: I have loved my socially challenged senior pitbull for 6 years as well as 10+ years with 3 cats of multiple personality types. I'm very patient and gentle and will be kind and loving to your furry pets. I have my own online business, which gives me time and availability to do overnights, and come by for check ins and walks. I'm excited to meet more fur-babies! I will be happy to work with your specific instructions for your pets and make sure they are safe and well cared for. I'll keep in contact with you to let you know how the visit is going as well.
“Nola was absolutely wonderful taking care of our two cats while we were overseas for two weeks. She was very reliable, caring, and attentive throughout the entire time we were away. She sent us photos and updates every day, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing the cats were happy and being well taken care of. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and treated them like they were her own. Being away for two weeks can be stressful when you have pets at home, but Nola made the whole experience completely worry free. We came home to two happy, healthy cats and everything in great shape. I would absolutely recommend Nola to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: Hi! I'm Shelby, your local dog lover and fashion designer; while caring for your beloved pup, I will give them tips on how they can improve their runway walk and enhance their personal style :) I have experience with, and love, all types of dogs and had a beautiful Golden Retriever of my own for 15 years. I am looking to make connections with regulars to establish relationships with the dogs that I am caring for, so feel free to reach out to me frequently! I recently moved to the Poconos from the suburbs of Philadelphia so I am accepting clients in both locations.
“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.”
“We called Jen last minute for a family need. She was needed to watch our 2 big doggie girls for an extended period of time with a very varied drop in schedule. She sent pictures and videos with our girls providing detailed information, which put me at ease being away for so long. It was clear that our girls loved spending time with Jen. I would highly recommend using Jen for your pet care needs. Thank you Jen!”
“Tara was amazing with our pup Henry! He felt comfortable and happy with her. She kept us updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, which gave us such peace of mind. Highly recommend Tara if you’re looking for someone caring and reliable to care for your pet!”
About: I currently have 2 dogs + 4 cats! I love them and care for them like they are my babies. I always make sure I keep them stimulated and happy to ensure a healthy and loving life. I would love to care for and love your animals like my own! I am working per-diem starting in october. My schedule is changing but if you just reach out i'd be happy to share that with you! I am super flexible and can help you with anything! My dogs are very dog friendly and loving to almost all other dogs. They are very socialized to other dogs and cats. I can walk your dog, let them out, or you can drop them off at my house for daycare or meet me to exchange them as well! If your dog isn't dog friendly I would be happy to keep them separate and comfortable! I have a fence for the dogs to run around and play. I also have ties outs for the dogs as well. We live in a wooded neighborhood on a dirt road that is super quiet!
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little. My family bottle fed and raised kittens, I’m a 2 year old golden doodle mama! I’ve pet sat for a few different families, including overnight stays as well. The longest I have pet sat for was a week straight! I’m a very flexible sitter. Although I do work, I have very flexible hours. I am usually home all the time if not working, so your pet will get lots of attention and love from me! Every pet owner has different rules and boundaries for their pet. Please let me know what they are, and I will work alongside you to make sure your pet follows those rules and boundaries under my care!
“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❣️”
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!
About: I've volunteered at AWSOM Animal Shelter walking dogs & caring for cats. I've walked & taken care of dogs for friends and neighbors. Personally, I have 3 cats and a dog! I have a flexible schedule. I am available days & nights as well as on short notice. My Rover calendar is updated frequently, so booking availability is accurate! I have experience taking care of puppies and dogs that require close supervision. I can stay with pets when necessary, or drop by for visits & care throughout the day depending on your and your pet's needs.
“Jennifer was a great cat sitter while we were on vacation. She feed and cleaned up after our kitty and sent plenty of pictures. She is definitely my go to cat sitter going forward.”
About: I love dogs so much that I adopted a puppy for my dog, who I could tell wanted a friend. I am known to spend all day with my dogs taking them out on doggie dates. We often visit others at the pet store or at the dog park. My older dog loves to run and loves to meet other dogs. My youngest is an adventurer. I have been in a dog-friendly home since I was 9. Cared for my great grandmother at an early age and my first dog as well. I believe that paying attention to your dog is one way to learn from them about what they need. So you can give them the life they can love. Training-wise, I believe in positive reinforcement and the repetition of rewarding good behavior. I work full-time at home M-F, off weekends. My fianceé is home during the afternoon (and will be after COVID) and nights. His work schedule is mornings, off M-W. This makes us uniquely flexible to meet your needs. Our house is a one-story. So you do not need to worry about stairs. We live in a wooded community away from heavy traffic. We have dog runners, which allow the dog to roam outside at his or her own pace while supervised. We live near a dog park that is well-maintained and has separated fences for small or large size dogs. We have a puppy called Dudley and an adult dog named Duke at home that are very friendly and well socilaized. Dudley's favorite game is tug of war. Duke loves to run, meet dog buddies, and eat his bones.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pocono Summit
Bruna was absolutely amazing with my puppy, Kaia. From the start, she really took the time to listen and understand Kaia’s needs, and it showed in how comfortable and happy Kaia was in her care. Kaia can be pretty wary of new people, so I was a little nervous at first, but she warmed up to Bruna so quickly, even though they had only met once before at the meet and greet. That says a lot about Bruna’s calm and patient approach. Throughout the entire experience, it was clear that Bruna genuinely cared and paid close attention to what Kaia needed. I could tell Kaia felt safe and well cared for, which gave me so much peace of mind (I was out of town for 1 week). I would absolutely trust her again, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and attentive sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,083 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pocono Summit. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Pocono Summit stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pocono Summit. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
