Dog Sitting in Scranton

“I know Brea is in good hands with Kacey. We joke that Brea loves the attention from Kacey when we go away, that she is annoyed when we come home.”

About: I have been working around animals since I was 14, and my parents wouldn't let me bring a pet home. Since then I have worked with dog trainers, therapy horses, on therapy farms, with dog breeders, just so I could spend time around animals. As a mom to two little boys, I don't have the ability to take care of my own animal, but would love the opportunity to spend some time with yours. I am comfortable with all animals, of any shape and size, and have a knack of reading their body language so I can give them a positive experience. I understand caring for animals is not always about what I want to do with the animal, rather what makes the animal feel safe and comfortable. I am currently a stay at home Mom, and my boys are out of the house from 9 to 1:30. I would love to walk your dog or just stop by and say hello to your pet in the mornings. Safety First, for me and the animals I am caring for. I understand that all animals are different and have different needs and fears. I pride myself on being able to read an animal's body language to know if they feel unsafe or may do something harmful to themselves or those around them. Having worked extensively with animals and children I understand that pets and people need to monitored carefully when meeting each other for the first time. I also understand that animals are curios creatures and will try to get into anything that looks new and exciting. I am always on the lookout from an animal perspective of what a pet can get into.

About: I’ve checked in on multiple pets before. Friends and my own family and relatives message me to come in, walk their dog, feed and give them water, and keep them company for a while! I love pets so when I found out I could get paid for it, I was astounded! I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, with tender love and care. I am a working college student at the moment, so I would be working part time. I would make time for my clients though, especially how I often have time in between my classes and I also have time after school during the week and on weekends. While I currently do not offer pets in my home, I will respect your home by keeping it clean and untouched by the time I leave. Now I will keep your pet company if that is the service you’d like and by doing so, we might empty their toys on the ground and play for a bit. That being said, it will be cleaned up and so will messes made by their food or water before I leave the house as well.

“Gabriela was amazing with Teddy and Tessie. They get very excited when meeting someone new and they were but her calm manner made them calmer too. Look forward to booking Gabriela again 🐶❤️🐶”

About: ​Hi, I’m Tamera! I run Happy Howls Daycare and Walkies, where I bring over 11 years of professional pet care experience to every visit. ​One of my favorite aspects of this work is puppy care and foundational training. I understand the patience and consistency required for young dogs—from reinforcing potty schedules to working on basic leash manners and socialization. Whether you have a high-energy pup or a senior dog who needs a gentle pace, I tailor my care to their specific life stage. ​You’ll notice my last Rover review was in 2017; since then, I have been operating as a self-employed pet care provider for private clients. I’m returning to Rover now to meet new families and share my decade-plus of expertise with your furry friends. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and dedicated to making sure every "howl" is a happy one! I myself have 2 cats and 1 dog. I currently reside with my mother in a 4 bedroom house. My mother owns 5 cats, 1 small dog, and a ferret. All are friendly. Keep in mind if youd want care in my home. :) As a professional pet care provider, my daily and weekly schedule is designed entirely around the needs of my furry clients. Because I manage Happy Howls Daycare and Walkies as my primary focus, I am able to offer a high level of flexibility and dedicated attention that fits into a structured routine: ​Morning Energy (7:00 AM – 10:00 AM): My day starts early with morning 'potty breaks' and active walks. This is the prime time for puppies who are working on their training and need consistent outdoor reinforcement first thing in the morning. ​Mid-Day Adventures (11:00 AM – 3:00 PM): This block is dedicated to my core walking routes and daycare guests. I schedule midday visits to ensure dogs get their much-needed exercise and socialization while their owners are at work. ​Afternoon Wind-Down (4:00 PM – 6:00 PM): I focus on late-afternoon walks and feeding schedules. For daycare pups, this is a time for calm play and getting them ready for their evening transition back home. ​Seven-Day Availability: While my busiest days are Monday through Friday, I am also available for weekend 'walkies' and daycare by request. This ensures that whether it’s a standard work week or a busy weekend, your pet has a consistent and familiar face to look forward to. ​Throughout the day, I maintain a very organized schedule. I make sure to leave plenty of time between visits so I am never rushed, allowing me to give each dog my full attention, work on training cues, and send plenty of photo updates to you. When your pet stays with me, my home becomes their second home. I focus on creating a calm, structured environment where they can feel secure while you’re away." ​Safety First: I maintain a 'paws-on-the-floor' policy for greetings to keep excitement levels manageable, especially for puppies in training. My home is fully pet-proofed to ensure a hazard-free stay. ​Routine & Structure: I mirror your dog's home routine as closely as possible—including specific feeding times, nap schedules, and any 'house rules' you have in place. ​Supervised Socialization: If multiple dogs are present, interactions are always 100% supervised. I use my experience to read body language and ensure every pup feels comfortable and respected. ​Cleanliness: I maintain high sanitation standards to keep everyone healthy and happy. ​In Your Home: Walkies & Drop-Ins ​"My goal for home visits is to provide high-quality care while leaving your home exactly as I found it—with the addition of a very happy dog!" ​Secure Entry & Exit: I am extremely diligent with home security. I double-check that all doors and gates are locked and that security systems are reset upon my departure. ​The Walk Experience: Safety is my priority on 'walkies.' I use sturdy leashes, avoid high-traffic or 'unpredictable' areas, and keep a close eye on the pavement temperature and weather conditions. ​Puppy/Senior Care: For clients at your home, I customize the visit. For puppies, this includes cleaning any accidents and reinforcing potty training; for seniors, it may involve gentle mobility assistance or administering medication. ​Detailed Check-ins: I will let you know when they nap, eat, and do their business

“Danielle did a great job taking care of my dog and keeping him entertained. It was obvious they both had a great time!”

About: I have been caring for pets, including dogs, cats, birds, chickens, and more, in people's homes for 10 years, developing a wide range of skills. Additionally, my work at a pet resort that offers boarding, daycare, grooming, and training has provided me with extensive training and experience. I have successfully managed up to five dogs in one household simultaneously and, having three dogs of my own, am well-equipped to handle any situation with ease. My lifelong love for animals has driven me to ensure they receive the best care possible. Whether it's providing the right environment, understanding their needs, or simply giving them the affection they deserve. Pet care fits well into my routine. I currently live in Camp Hill and work part-time at a pet resort, which allows me plenty of time to care for your furry companion. My typical hours for work are either 6:00 am to 12:00 pm or 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm. This fall, as I return to college in Scranton, I’ll continue offering pet sitting services in the Scranton area and will come back for breaks around the holidays. I’ll make sure to stay in touch and would love to be updated on how your pets are doing whenever I’m not around. In caring for pets, in my home, at work, and in clients' homes, I bring a strong background in safety and responsiveness. My experience as a lifeguard and working with animals has honed my ability to manage emergencies and provide care. Originally trained in human CPR, I've adapted these skills for pets, allowing me to handle medical situations effectively. At work, I use skills in being able to quickly assess when a pet is in pain or something isn’t right and know how to act immediately. Additionally, having cared for an elderly dog that lived to 17, I’m experienced in managing age-related health concerns and providing attentive care to ensure pets remain comfortable and well cared for.

“Exceptional sitter for our 2 dogs while we went on vacation to Arizona! Very thorough, thoughtful & prompt! Will definitely use Kim next time we need a sitter!”

“Lynn was absolutely amazing. I had an issue with Rover double-charging me for a sitter I didn’t even use, and although it wasn’t her responsibility, Lynn was incredibly accommodating and willing to help in any way she could. She kept me updated with detailed messages twice a day about my pets and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She truly made this entire experience stress-free, and I’m so grateful for her kindness and professionalism. We need more people like her—10/10, highly recommend!”

About: I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages from kittens and puppies to seniors. Including potty training, regular training, food aggression, dietary needs, medication administration, exercising, basic commands, diabetes injections, aggression/behavioral issues. I work real estate so I have a lot of down time in between work to stop in and check in, walk and play with your furbabies. I will follow any routines owners have to a T and don’t mind any special requests. My only goal is to make your furbaby happy and your mind at ease while you’re away.

“Aubriana took great care of our pups! We’ll have her back for sure.”

About: Hi, I'm Aly! I am available for dog walking and drop-ins; I am also open to taking care of your cats.I have experience administering insulin as well since my cat has had diabetes. I have a large fenced in yard they could run around in. I have about 10 years of pet care experience (walking, feeding, potty breaks, etc). I will walk your pup as often as you like. Being a pet owner I understand what an important part of the family our dogs are, and would provide the best care possible. I have owned dogs my entire life, and will treat your fur baby like it is my own and we'll have the best time! I will always keep you updated with pictures & status updates :) I am very patient, responsible, and punctual.... I can't wait to meet you and your pup! Looking forward to hearing from you! My schedule is really open and flexible right now. I can make myself available anytime during 8AM - 5PM but I can be flexible if needed. As a remote worker and proud cat parent, I’m used to structuring my day around feeding schedules, playtime, and regular check-ins. Whether it’s giving morning meds, refreshing food and water, or simply providing some companionship, I enjoy making animals feel safe and loved. Caring for pets isn’t a chore—it’s a rewarding part of my everyday life. In both settings, I prioritize open communication with pet owners to understand each pet’s unique needs and preferences, ensuring a personalized and caring experience for every pet.

“I highly recommend Summer! She checked in our dog several times when my husband and I were out of town for a few days. I appreciated her updates, communication and photos. She took the time to play with our dog and give her lots of cuddles, building trust and comfort - it put me at ease knowing our dog was in such good hands! We’ll definitely be reaching out to Summer for dog sitting needs in the future!”

About: Hi neighbors! 🐾 My name is Matthew and I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have a 100lb Labrador who’s not just my pet—he’s my best buddy. We walk, hike, play, and explore every day, rain or shine! I understand how much your furry friends mean to you, and I’ll treat your dog like one of my own—with love, patience, and plenty of exercise. Whether you need regular walks, help on busy days, or just want your pup to get some extra attention, I’m here to help! Reliable. Experienced. Dog-obsessed. Let’s chat! 🐶💬 I currently work full time from home but I’m very active so I keep my dog active with me. We are up at 5am everyday going for runs/walks. On breaks we always get outside to enjoy the weather and allow him to use the bathroom if needed. After work if I’m not busy I love to take him to the dog park or on another walk around the neighborhood. So I’m available every weekday from 5am-8am and after work from 6pm-9pm I have a big open yard that I have an electric fence for my dog to go out as he needs with or without me. When leaving the yard he gets his harness put on and a leash with poop bags. We walk on the sidewalk at all times. We stop and sit before looking to see if we can cross the road.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always bonded to them. From young puppies, to senior dogs I’ve learned a lot about care and training along the way. Currently i have a good amount of free time but owning a dog in my apartment is not possible. I’d like to be able to care for & spend time with dogs in my free time. I live in a walkable area with parks nearby. I also have toys and doggie puzzles to pass the time. Fue babies will be treated like family always!

“I highly recommend Tonilynn. She is caring and reliable. I have four pets with different needs and she’s attentive to each one. I never have to worry about them when they are in her care.”

Joanne G.

About: I will treat every dog like a friend, or like my own pup. I have fostered and helped care for several dogs many sick and elderly the past few years and every second was worth all the effort and some. I take my time in getting to know each dog and to bond with them so I know who they are. It is most important that I gain the owners trust as well as the dogs. This trust is only gained through patience and understanding. Some dogs are friendlier and energetic where as some may be shy and reserved and it is all about taking your time to know them and allowing them the time to know you. Not only am I willing to do this but this is something I love to do.

“Anna was friendly, responsive, and great with my two pups! It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while I was away for the day.”
