“Amanda was kind enough to text me all through her visit. I have one dog that is very shy. Amanda sat with her until she was comfortable enough to come out of hiding. Then Amanda took the dogs for a walk. She sent me pictures of my crazies. Amanda is very nice. We had a meet and greet with the dogs and myself two days before. I will use Amanda again if her and my schedules work out.”


About: I am that person who stops everything wherever I am to talk to dogs walking or play with them in the pet store. Pets are great friends. I work full time from home. 6a-230p. I live right outside of Penn Estates. Weekends I am available at any time. During the week after 230. I walk my 2 dogs around on a leash. They have seatbelts/car seats for car rides. We also like playing in the park. Treats in a pocket are a great way to keep your furry friend next to you

About: "With a wealth of hands-on experience managing the day-to-day operations of an animal shelter and specializing in dog training, I bring a unique blend of practical knowledge and heartfelt dedication to the field of animal care. My role involved not only overseeing the well-being of diverse animal residents but also implementing tailored training programs to enhance their adoptability. My commitment to fostering positive connections between pets and their future families has not only been a professional endeavor but a personal passion. This comprehensive background positions me as an ideal choice for anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled individual in the realm of animal care. Integrating pet care seamlessly into my daily life is not just a routine; it's a cherished commitment. With two dogs of my own, each day is filled with moments of joy, responsibility, and unwavering companionship. From morning walks to evening playtime, my life revolves around ensuring the well-being, happiness, and health of my four-legged family members. This personal dedication reflects my genuine understanding of the profound role pets play in our lives and underscores my passion for extending the same level of care to others' beloved companions. I extend the same attentive care to others' pets as I do with my own, creating a home-away-from-home experience. With two incredibly friendly dogs of my own, I understand the importance of a warm, welcoming environment. Proficient in crate training, I ensure a secure and comfortable space for all furry guests. A fenced backyard provides a safe area for play and exercise. Respecting the unique needs of each pet and their home, my commitment lies not only in their well-being but also in maintaining a secure and loving atmosphere during their stay.

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.

“Working with Sam was a great experience from start to finish! She was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and kept me informed about how my pups did during my time away. She interacted well with my pets and had no problem providing them medication. She had excellent communication, quality service, and gentle care. I highly recommend Sam anyone needing help caring for their pets!!”


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.

“We had a wedding at the Stroudsmoor with our dogs in the wedding and we asked Autumn to watch after the dogs during the wedding ceremony and photos before and after the ceremony. She did an excellent job handling our two fur babies and doing all the was necessary to make our dogs part of our big day. If you need any dog services I highly recommend Autumn!”


“Alexis took great care of our sweet boy and followed all the instructions as needed. We have a senior baby so he requires just a little more attention to detail and Alexis made sure he was well taken care and checked in often. She sent us pics and and updates, was very flexible and easy to reach. Thank you Alexis for taking good care of Porkie :)”


“My dog loved Matthew (she was crying when he left after the walk, LOL). He is super knowledgeable about dogs and gave me several helpful recommendations which I appreciated. Thank you Matthew!”



“James was a delight. He showed up the day before for a visit and talk, and was very easy to talk to and warmed up to our dog who is very picky. We'd use him again in a heartbeat.”


“Amy is wonderful! She is kind, understanding and accommodating. This was my first time using the app so I was a little nervous but Amy def made the experience easier! I would def recommend her!”


“Alexis did an incredible job watching my 3 dogs while I was away for a few days. She is very responsive, takes lots of photos, and gives you great updates after each visit. I highly recommend Alexis services and will definitely reach out to her again for future bookings!”

Kristin A.
“Kristin is the best!! I'm so glad I found her to walk and board my dog, Remmy. It's so much better than dropping my dog off at a boarding center. Her home is cozy and spacious and Remmy always feels at home and loves the yard to play! Kristin goes above and beyond too! I know she treats her with as much love as possible which makes me feel comfortable while I'm away. Gives me great peace of mind and I would recommend her services to anyone! Very affordable as well for the value that both my pup and I receive.”

Katherine D.
“I can’t say enough good things about Katherine! She takes amazing care of my two cats, Dobby and Nova, when I'm away. She is very communicative, sending daily updates with photos and keeping me informed if their behavior is off in any way. One of our cats Dobby can be a bit shy, but she won him over with her patience and her gentle approach with cats. My other cat Nova is more energetic and Kathy always sets aside time to play. Their food, litter, and routines were handled perfectly, and I came home to happy ans cared for cats. Kathy is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. I’d trust her with Dobby and Nova anytime and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter on Rover!”

Andrea M.
“I believe Andrea would be a great candidate for a Rover caregiver. She’s compassionate and patient, she is such an awesome dog mama to her own little guy Dundee who needs special care due to his seizures. She’s on top of that a wonderful mother to her own two boys and has always been caring and loving to my own child. She is very responsible, punctual and I believe would treat other pets with the same love that she gives her own.”


Deborah H.
“I've known Debbie Hall over 10 years. She owned and managed a doggie day care, boarding and grooming business. In all those years, Ive watched Debbie take incredible care of every dog entrusted to her. Her love of dogs is evident and her experience allowed her to handle any issue that arose with efficiency and grace. Any dog in her care would get the best care possible and would completely trust her with my dogs.”
