Dog Walkers in Portland, PA

About: My family and I are animal lovers! We have one dog of our own who we love and care for and she LOVES to play with other doggie friends! I have dog sat for about 15+ years for personal friends and family as well as many dogs here on Rover. All of our children love dogs and we create a loving and caring family environment. We have a large backyard in a family oriented town. Our yard is not fenced, but there is plenty of room for dogs we watch to run around and play. My children take part in caring for the dogs we sit and like to give them lots of extra hugs and love. We also enjoy going on lots of walks! We can’t wait to give your dog a warm, friendly home away from home! I am work from home, so I am available to be present for your dog. He/she will have someone around almost at all times. If we have to run out for anything, if your dog does not chew and is trained, he/she can have run of our home. We have one very friendly dog to keep yours company. I have plenty of room in the house for a crate if necessary. If medications are necessary, I am able to administer that. Our yard is not fenced, however we have a long lead where he/she can have plenty of room to run around. Our family will be present at all times when your dog is outside.

“Brittney truly is the best! Extremely reliable and flexible. I've had to switch on her so many times because of my schedule and she's always so accommodating. Super plus is that the dogs love her. Any instructions I send her she follows with no hesitation. Super friendly and you can tell she loves what she does. Thanks Brittney for always keeping me at ease.”

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is the combination of genuine love for animals, reliability, and attention to each dog’s unique needs. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments, including those with special medical or behavioral needs.

I’m known for being flexible, dependable, and calm in unexpected situations—qualities that help dogs feel secure and happy in my care.

When caring for animals in my home, I ensure they have a clean, safe, and welcoming environment that mirrors the routine they’re used to—complete with regular feedings, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. When pet sitting in someone else’s home, I respect their space and closely follow all instructions regarding the pet’s care, including diet, medication, and behavior needs. I aim to maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress while keeping the home neat and secure. I also provide consistent updates, including photos and messages, to keep owners reassured while they’re away. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, love, and the highest level of care.

“Melanie has been walking my dogs now for two months. She is awesome with my two dogs. She is extremely responsible and supremely trustworthy. I have the confidence of knowing that she will take care of my home as I would. I trust her enough that she has my house keys and alarm code. She keeps notified about the dogs status as she arrives and leaves. Melanie is a gem.”

Nancy T.

“Darlene was fabulous with my 3 dogs. It’s like they have a new best friend. This was my first time using Rover and a pet sitter. She eased my anxiety within the first 5 minutes of meeting her. I would definitely recommend her to care for your fur babies and I will definitely use her again in the future.”

About: I love dogs and was Uncle Matt to literally hundreds of dogs at Camp Papillon over about 10 years. I will take the very best care of your babies too! I have had quite a few overnight guest dogs and many are repeat stays. Your dog will be completely comfortable at my house & have a great stay. This I can promise you! Summer is booking up fast so if you’re going on vacation and need somewhere great to take your dog, I’m your guy. Get in touch with me so we can get the ball rolling on their stay. I can most definitely do a meet and greet with your dog beforehand. As for walks, I am available most days - and times - early mornings are tougher, but I take each job ask on a case by case basis, so please don't hesitate to ask! Obviously the earlier notice the better & I don't travel too too far out of the Stroudsburgs area, but again, we can talk about it! Please check the calendar to see if I have availability on the days you are looking for. Things change from day to day & the app will update availability. Your doggos will have a comfy house with two bedrooms & a huge yard. There are also two dog parks that are completely fenced in within blocks of our home. It’s a great neighborhood for a walk as well. The household consists of myself, my girlfriend, and our two friendly cats. If your dog does not like cats, we can absolutely keep them separated.Dogs are allowed on our furniture, and in the bed if you allow that!! We can crate as needed (yours or ours). I always follow the rules you dictate for your dog, and try and limit the amount of stress while with me. We treat them as our own!
