“Monica took such great care of our puppy! We were nervous leaving him for so long for the first time, but she made us feel so much better with daily updates and pictures. He seems to have had a great time with lots of walks and attention, and she even bathed him and washed his blankets before we picked him up. We would recommend her to anyone!”
“What an amazing experience! It felt like I left my pup with family. They kept me in the loop and I could tell my pup was happy. What more can you ask for. Amazing. Thank you.”
“Scott was wonderful at keeping us up to date on Copper while he was staying with him. We were able to enjoy our trip so much more, knowing Copper was in good hands.”
“Leila was very nice, friendly and accomodating to our furbabies needs. Our babies didnt want to come home at all because of so much fun they are having with them. Everyday she sends pictures of updates. She was easy to communicate with and we didnt have any issues at all. We felt comfortable leaving our furbabies with her and family. We will book her again next time. Thank you Leila for taking care of our dogs. i highly recommend your service! :)”
“Laurie was great! Very nice lady. As soon as we met her I knew our pets would be safe with her.She updated me everyday, sent us videos or pictures. My furbabies had a great stay and didnt want to leave at all. They were having a great time with Laurie! Highly recommend her. Thanks Laurie!”
“Elaine was great! I could tell Vito was well taken care of she sent lots of photos. She was flexible with our schedule. I will always book with her from now on. Loved she only does one dog at a time. Vito slept with her so I knew instantly he felt safe!”
“Gwen had a wonderful time with Sukari and made a fast friend with Tex during her stay! Drop off went very smoothly and I received regular updates with pictures/videos of Gwen throughout her stay. Gwen clearly enjoyed her time away and got plenty of activity (evident by the day of peaceful napping following her pick-up XD). Will definitely book with Sukari again!”
“Daniela was very quick to respond and provided pictures and videos throughout the 2 day stay we had. My dog came back very happy and tired. I would absolutely book Daniela again if I am in the area.”
“Shantel pulled through for us on a last minute boarding. Kai seemed to enjoy her best life at Shantell's based on the pictures we got back. Great communication, would choose her again if we needed to.”
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.
“Maria took care of our Shiba Ina in the nick of time. Great host, perfect fenced in yard. Our lil guy was right at home as soon as he walked. Thanks you so much Maria for boarding Flex and keeping him happy. -Mike”
“Ana did a wonderful job caring for my Marley. She sent me daily pictures of Marley and made it so much easier to go on vacation knowing that my girl was being taken care of. I would definitely recommend Ana if you’re looking for a caring pet sitter.”
“Kristie was one of the best dog sitters we have had for Bruno. She was not only professional but deeply passionate about the well-being of animals. What truly stood out was her remarkable responsiveness and flexibility. Despite my last-minute request, she graciously accommodated my needs. Throughout my dog's stay, Kristie maintained excellent communication with cute photos of Bruno, keeping me informed and reassured at every step. She even gave my dog with a toy to take home with him. I wholeheartedly recommend Kristie to anyone seeking reliable and caring pet care services and I 100% would go to her again for future needs.”
“Michael and his wife Lisa took excellent care of my boy, Wilbur. He came home happy and tired from a full day of activity & attention. It's so nice to know there is a caring, attentive couple who I can now trust to take care of my boy. I would definitely recommend. ;)”
About: I have had dogs practically my entire life. Mostly mix breeds, but I love being around them and taking care of them. Providing them with love, cuddles, and play time. I work from home so I have the availability to take on walks around my neighborhood, play during the day, after work dog park trips (if ok with owners of course, Nuggets loves it there) If they come over for day care, I will treat them like I treat my own dog (who is treated like a prince) and will get many loves, cuddles and play throughout the day. If I need to go over and pick up the little furry friend, I treat others homes with respect and how I would want mine to be treated
“No words to express how satisfied I am with Tara and her family, so grateful for their caring for my Dog. They were like family and constantly giving me updates and sending pictures, it was a peace of mind since it was my first time using this platform. I highly recommend it and definitely when I’m back to this area I will contact them again. Thank you Tara!”
“Christina did amazing with Freckles, she definitely enjoyed her time there. While I was away on military leave Christina also kept me updated throughout the week on how she was doing, while also sending pictures and videos. I’ve never done this and she definitely made this process go smooth. Would definitely use again”
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.
“Stefi took great care of my dog, was accommodating of her raw diet, sent pictures, and gave regular updates. She was communicative and very flexible when my trip was unexpectedly extended and even worked with my later pickup time. The only thing I’d suggest is confirming any requirements (like rabies certificates) earlier in the process to avoid last-minute stress. Overall, very very thankful for her help and would book again.”

Shamika C.
“Shamika was a long time dog owner who loved her dog as much as I’ve ever seen someone love a dog. She is drawn to all dogs and sees the good in them, much like they adore their owners. She has taken care of my dog many times over the years, for days and sometimes weeks and I trust her implicitly. I can’t think of anyone I’d trust more with any dog or pet that I have or will have in the future. She will be a blessing to any person or family who wants their dog to have a safe and happy walking experience.”
