“You will never find a better sitter for your furbaby than Karen and Donald. They love animals. They are like family to my Jax. Sometimes I think he likes being there more than he likes being home!”

“Jack and Joanne are always fantastic with our dog, Rowan! They take such good care of him and we can tell he's happy with them. They have so much space for dogs to run around, and 3 very sweet dogs of their own that they take excellent care of! 10/10 would recommend!”

“Jahada took care of two of my Dogo Argentino and did great! She knew how to keep them happy, healthy and playful. The two came back like if they had gone in a honeymoon!”

“Fatima took care of our 75lb high energy Pitbull like it was her very own dog. We left for a vacation for 16 days and Fatima took over as both Mom and Pack Leader. She walked, fed, gave medication, cleaned ears, bathed, played with, etc. We got photos and vids daily, which gave us peace of mind that Leo was in great care. Highly Recommend!”

“The moment I met Annie at our meet-n-greet, I could tell how wonderful of a woman she truly is. She was so unbelievably patient with my 11 week old golden retriever, Penny, who had never been away from home. Between the photo and text updates, there was never a moment where I worried about my puppy. Annie is the perfect fit for any dog in need of love, patience, compassion, and fun! I am so blessed to have found a care taker whom I trust completely with my puppy. Annie, thank you for being the wonderful person that you are! Penny can't wait for her next vacation! I bet she didn't even miss home haha.”
“Adam did a great job boarding and caring for our 80lb higher energy labrador. Very communicative and sent pictures. We also requested Adam apply an allergy meds which he was great at. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Adam!”

“Daniela did a wonderful job with my dog, Troy. She sent pictures of him playing, he seemed very happy and enjoying time with her and her dogs. I’ll definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter for their pets.”

About: I love taking care of pets, I’ve had all kinds growing up! It’s great to have someone you can trust to love and nurture your pets too. Currently I am free any day of the week and anytime. Your pet is in good hands while you’re away. I am very open to what works best for you and your pet. Safety is #1! I hope to gain your trust and your pets with time. I am great at communication you’ll always count on me for updates, any info necessary.
“We never have to worry when our Kal is with Jennifer! She takes great care of her, truly as if she is her own dog. Happy to be a repeat client! Would recommend to anyone ☺️”


“Kaitlyn was great! She was responsive, easy to deal with. She accommodated my short notice needs. She sent photos and updates on Sallys status. I felt Sally was in good hands and would take her back to kaitlyn again!”
“SHE WAS AMAZINGGG, my baby Valentina seemed so happy and calm at her house! She sent me updates whenever I asked :) she was great, good communication, everything was good I’m leaving my baby kitty with her next time.!”

“Casey is such an amazing host! We just relocated to the area and feel so lucky to have found Casey! From the initial conversations online to a phone call she made us comfortable to leave our furry friends with her. Our dogs were well taken care of and happy when we picked them up. We will definitely be working with Casey again and I know our boys will be excited to spend time with her again! ”

“MariJeimi and David did an amazing job watching our Peanut and Hershey - you can tell they truly love and care for animals. They gave us great peace of mind while away with frequent updates/photos on how they were doing. They truly went the extra mile to make sure our pups felt welcome. Both our babies looked like they felt right at home with them and were treated fantastic! It's tough finding the right people to trust with your fur babies but if you've been lucky enough to land on this profile you have to look no further. We definitely will be using them again in the future and are so thankful we found them to care for our pups.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and other pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a Yorkshire Terrier, a Mini Goldendoodle, and a ferret, so caring for animals is part of my daily life. I have experience with basic training, administering medications, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. I personally trained my dog to become a service animal, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to build trust with animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I make sure each pet receives plenty of attention and care. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine and will do my best to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walks, and daily routines to help pets feel secure and stress-free. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs while providing plenty of affection, exercise, and companionship. I respect both the pet’s environment and the owner’s home, ensuring everything is kept clean, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to provide reliable care and peace of mind while you’re away.
About: IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO KNOW BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICES: I work full-time from 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM Monday through Friday, and occasional weekend days/one federal holiday per calendar year. I have always been, and will always be an animal person. I have 3 dogs of my own currently: Lincoln (12 year old chihuahua), Ripley (4 year old mixed breed), and Tots (5 year old mixed breed); I also have a bunny named Bonsai (10 years old)! I have spent many years dedicated to the happiness and well-being of dogs of all ages ranging from 5 pounds to 150 pounds. I’ve socialized dogs for many years and can pick up on their cues of how they’re feeling, whether it be happy, anxious, or fearful. I’m well versed in medication administration as well, whether it be orally or topically given. I’ve prepped food that ranged from standard kibble to entirely raw. I’m also no stranger to cleaning up if a dog has an accident. I know how it is to worry when you’re away from your furry companions and that is why I uphold myself to high standards to make sure all animals are safe and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working full-time and am diligent about making sure my schedule is up to date as I like to stay organized and plan ahead. I work from 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and occasional weekend days/holidays. I have a fenced in yard. I have crates available in house if your dog is crate trained, whether it be for eating, sleeping, or general comfort/decompression. I have extra leads to make sure each dog is being walked safely. If your dog is on a retractable leash, I will make the call to use either a standard leash or British lead. It ensures the safety of both your companion and my own when on walks.
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I absolutely love animals. I hope to one day open my own shelter to keep dogs off the streets & give them all a second chance at life. I currently have a 3 year old Keeshond male (neutered) who i have raised since a puppy. I have trained him myself & am currently studying different ways of training dogs. I also have experience with senior dogs. I watch a 15 year old husky regularly. I currently work in a restaurant so i go into work later in the day. my boyfriend & i work opposite days so your fur baby will never be alone if you are boarding with me. i do not accept boarding on days i cannot give your pet my full attention. my schedule for walking & drop in visits is very flexible. i also understand that life happens so any last minute cancellations are 100% okay! As previously stated i have a 7 year old pup to keep your babies company! he loves people & animals! we go for walks around the neighborhood & often go to the dog park. This can absolutely be an option for your dog as well as long as they are up to date & do well with others! in my home i also have a cat & a chinchilla. my cat is very easy going & my chinchilla will always be in the cage while your pet is in my home.
Scranton pet parents share their Rover experiences
If I could give more than five stars, I would—honestly, this was one of the most above-and-beyond experiences we’ve ever had with any service, not just dog sitting. From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and incredibly professional—but what truly blew us away was everything that happened *after* we booked her for what was supposed to be just a single day. Due to unexpected circumstances on our end, that one day turned into three… and she handled it with nothing but grace, flexibility, and genuine care. Not once did she make us feel like it was an inconvenience. In fact, she reassured us the entire time and treated our dog like her own. She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. You could tell our dog was not only well cared for, but truly happy and comfortable. It’s rare to find someone who connects so naturally with animals, but she absolutely does. And then—when we thought we couldn’t possibly be more impressed—she somehow raised the bar even higher. She went out of her way to return our dog to us, taking not one but TWO Ubers to make sure everything worked out smoothly. Who does that?! That level of dedication, effort, and positivity is almost unheard of. The entire time, she maintained the most amazing attitude—warm, patient, and completely unbothered—when most people would understandably be stressed or frustrated. It’s hard to put into words just how grateful we are. She didn’t just “watch our dog”—she showed kindness, flexibility, and a level of commitment that genuinely meant a lot to us during a stressful situation. If you are even *considering* booking with her, do it immediately. She is reliable, compassionate, communicative, and truly goes the extra mile (literally and figuratively). We would trust her again in a heartbeat and will absolutely be booking with her in the future. Thank you again for everything—you are truly one of a kind!
