About: As a dog lover, I know how important it is to make sure your fur baby is well taken care of. I am more than happy to spend time playing with and walking dogs, or if theyre more docile, I'll sit with them and make sure they have the love they need daily. I love all dogs and will not turn down based on breed. I'll make sure the dogs are fed properly (adhering to scheduled eating times), have plenty of fresh water, and get nice long walks in! I'll gladly take them to a dog park so we can play! I also dont mind walking dogs in winter. I currently work full time Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. I am able to check on any pet before work, between 5:00-7:00 am and after work from 5:00pm on. On the weekends I am available any time! I will follow any rules set up by the pet parents. I can easily crate dogs, and I can administer medicines to them with ease.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was very young. The majority of my life and career has revolved around the pet industry. I am a Healthcare representative for chewy. Before this I was a groomer. I work from home from 11am -8pm. I can do mornings and nights after 8 and Thursdays and Fridays I can do 3 walks/check ins/ play time I am there to make sure your pets health and well-being are taken care of with each visit! I also send pics from playtime or walks
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life from small to big, Terriars, Rottweilers, German Shepard, etc. I currently have a yellow lab named Rory. I have experience with all age dogs from puppies and elderly dog. I currently work full time 8-4:30 on weekday so I would be willing to come early morning, late afternoons, or nights. I am free anytime on weekends. I have an overly friendly Labrador at home who is very well trained. He goes on a walk at least once a day if not more but absolutely loves his big side yard where he gets to sunbathe! He has his spot on the couch where he naps most of the day away.
About: I have grown up around dogs since I was young. I know how to act around them and how they each have their own unique personalities! I will give your dog the treatment they deserve. Doing all the duties you may be too busy to do, and adding a sprinkle of love to it.🫶🏻 I am currently a college student at Marywood, so I will be doing this in my free time or whenever I can!! Also doing some work study as well. If I pet-sat I would ensure that I gave the animal the attention they needed while also giving them space as well. I am very good with reading dogs and cats body language. I’d also make sure they were fed of course and walked every hour or as needed!! If I were to petsit a cat then cleaning out the litter box. :)
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I will treat your dog or cat as part of my family. They will be trained through playing which is fun because then you will learn how they are and their behaviors. I am currently not working so this will give me an opportunity to take care of your pet the right way and get better aquainted of how they are. I will be able to take your pet for walks without interfernce of any kind. If any emergency happens I will let you know and quickly take them to the vet or a vet provided by you. For me to take care of your pet correctly I would like to know what protocols I have to follow so that I can make your pet comfortable and happy and that you know your pet is safe and sound with me, whether it be in my home or your home which ever one makes you comfortable.

“Victoria has been a wonderful caregiver for my German Shepherd, who normally struggles to trust new people. Her calm and caring nature quickly won him over, and now he lights up every time he sees her. She’s reliable, attentive, and truly loves animals.

Kayleigh M.
“Kayleigh is a trusted pet caretaker that has fed and watched my three cats multiple times before. Not only has she made sure all of my cats were safe and sound in my house while I was away, but she made sure to keep their tummies full and made them a little less lonely while I was gone. Even though animals cannot speak English, I’m sure if my cats could they’d sing her praises. If you’re looking for an excellent pet-sitter for your little demons or angels, give her a shot. I assure you that you won’t be displeased.”

Christina G.
“Christina is a very sweet girl/dog walker that I would highly recommend. She has taken care of my pup for 4 years on and off when we travel on vacation or when on business trips. She is very trustworthy and diligent. She always shows up. She gives my guy insulin and tests him 2x a day when we are away as well as giving him eye drops and medication for seizures as my dog is diabetic and gets dry eye from his condition. She texts us when she arrives and leaves and the results. She also waters our plants in the summer, and has pulled in our trash cans. She's a great dog sitter that I highly recommend!”

Scranton pet parents share their Rover experiences
Shayla was our first experience with in-home sitting for our goldendoodle Mac, who is reactive to new people. She gave her time and patience to give Mac the time he needed to be comfortable with her over several in-home visits with us until she did overnight stays with Mac. While we were away, we were able to relax knowing our dog was in capable and caring hands. She sent us updates/photos every day, and was understanding and accomodating when our vacation schedule changed at the last minute. We came home to a clean house and a happy and relaxed dog. Shayla will be our go-to for future vacations. We're grateful for the care and attention she gave our boy.
