Cat Sitting in Shoemakers

“Abner was an amazing dog walker! He was reliable, professional, and clearly loves animals. My dog was always so excited to see him, which says a lot. I really appreciated the updates and photos after each walk—it gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was in great hands. Abner was punctual, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”

About: I am a dog lover and owner just like you. I know how difficult it can get sometimes but no worries. That's what I'm here for. Your dog will be in excellent hands. I will play, exercise, and create a bond with your dog as if they were my own. I will always keep you updated since I know how nerve wrecking it may be sometimes. I have experience with many different dogs such as but not limited to Maltese, Pitbulls, German Shepherds, Collie's, Yorkie's, and more. Don't hesitate to contact me ever (even if it's just to say hello to your baby's - I understand). I'll make sure your dogs are feed and they get a well enough walk before taking them home to rest. I'm currently a full-time dog sitter/walker, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your doggies. I am available at anytime, reach out with your request! If I am caring for your fur-baby in my home I have an unfenced yard to 3 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I do have an outdoor doggie playpen. I can easily separate and crate your dog as well as mine if needed. I like to work with your dog, so introductions to my dogs as well as my yard will be done at your dogs pace. I am great with commands and a great alpha for the dogs to follow.

About: I will give your dog(s) my undivided attention. They will be fed and taken for walks. I will engage with them throughout the day, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I will care for them just like they were my own pet. Being a dog owner myself, I understand how much they mean to their families. In case of an emergency at home or work, I will provide the necessary care for your dogs. I have a unique bond with every dog I meet and truly enjoy their company, ensuring they receive plenty of affection. In the past, I have cared for my family's dogs, feeding and walking them nearly every day. I am knowledgeable about how to handle dogs safely. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to dog-sit and walk the dogs entrusted to my care. Pet caring is one of my passion because they bring so much joy to our lives. With this being said after work I do appreciate the love my fur babies give me. I love to play and run with fur babies and I also get my weekly exercise in! I have a yard that they can run freely in. They will have access to my balcony for when they need cooling and some quiet.

About: I have had cats since I was born! I have many years of experience and consider myself well versed when it comes to kitties. I have taken care of many cats in my lifetime and am comfortable with all personalities and needs. Even "difficult" kitties become my friend in no time. I currently have 5 cats, two who have medical needs. Time and experience has helped me become knowledgeable in taking care of cats who may require special care such as medicine administration and senior needs. I work full time as a medical assistant and I am also a licensed massage therapist. Compassion and attention to detail come naturally to me! I provide stress free care for your pets while you're away. I currently work full time, Monday-Friday, 9am to 5pm. I can do after work drop ins/feedings on the weekdays. I am available on the weekends for house sitting and longer visits. I know how important routine is. Your pet thrives off having their routine thrown off as little as possible. My goal is give the best care possible while honoring their space.

“Once again our fur babies were well taken care of while I was out of town. Thank you so much for taking time with them all.. so glad I found a sitter I can trust.”

“Heather is very communicative and followed instructions very well. She took care of three of our cats, two requiring medication. The cats seem happy. We'd definitely be using Heather again in the future.”

About: Hi! My name is Deja, and I’m someone who has loved and cared for animals my entire life. I grew up with both cats and dogs and currently have experience caring for multiple pets of my own, including 4 cats and 2 dogs. Over the last 1–2 years, I’ve also gained hands-on pet care experience outside of my own home. As a therapist, compassion, patience, and attentiveness are a huge part of who I am, and I bring those same qualities into the care I provide for every pet. What makes me stand out is the level of care, patience, and emotional attentiveness I bring to animals. I genuinely see pets as beings with feelings, emotions, and unique personalities, and I treat them with the same kindness and respect I would give another person. Being a therapist has strengthened my ability to be calm, observant, trustworthy, and responsive to individual needs, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure around me. I don’t just “watch” pets — I build connection, provide comfort, and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. I recently earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and currently work part-time as a therapist while continuing to grow my caseload. Pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy and intentionally include in my schedule because caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. Since I work part time, I’m able to dedicate focused attention, patience, and quality care to the pets I work with rather than treating it like a rushed side job. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and emotional needs, so I approach each animal with compassion, empathy, and attentiveness. Whether your pet needs playtime, comfort, companionship, or gentle patience, I will treat them with the same love and care I would give my own 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.

I am available to board throughout the week, nights and weekends. If any special request are required please let me know in advance .. I love dogs!

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of all ages, including my own. From puppy stage to senior. I’ve been trusted by friends and family to care for their dogs including walks, play time, and any special needs they may have. I work taking care of your pet into my schedule, early mornings or late nights are no issue. I set aside as much time as needed for play, walks etc. I have a very large back yard in a low traffic neighborhood. I have two dogs of my own that are very well behaved and love to play!

Meredith B.

“Kimberly was awesome! She communicated with us everyday and always made sure to send several photos during her visits. It was a pleasure to work with her and we would absolutely work with her again.”

Nijinsky D.

“I can’t recommend Arianna enough! Leaving our two Cane Corsos in someone else’s care is never something we take lightly — they’re large, strong dogs with unique needs and big personalities. But Arianna handled everything with confidence, care, and professionalism from start to finish. If you’re looking for someone reliable and trustworthy who truly gets dogs, especially big ones like Cane Corsos, look no further. We’ll definitely be booking again!”

About: I’ve taken care of foster cats, chicken, and dogs larger than me for over a decade! Folk have often relied on me whenever a safe presence is needed for their animals to gain trust around. I am currently a freelance artist, so I have a lot of free time to take care of your animals! I also adore the outdoors, so any sort of walks around neighborhoods are also a yes! Pets are family, period. They deserve the respect and love anyone else should get, so my approach to mine wouldn’t be any different to yours. Mine are regularly groomed, played with, trained well enough to respond to my voice, the works. They get all the affection and yummy treats as well!

About: My family and I have fostered puppies and dogs since I was 12 years old which gave me plenty of experience with lots of different dogs, breeds, ages, and genders. We have always had our own family dog, and I continue to dog sit/dog walk for neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve also been volunteering at the Thomas J. O’Connor Animal Control and Adoption Center in Springfield,MA since July of 2025. This has allowed me to gain even more experience with so many different types of dogs and behaviors. I always want to preface that even if it says I don’t have availability, always reach out anyways because depending on what services you may need, we can work something out. I do have a demanding work schedule, but typically I am available in the afternoon and early evening (1pm-5pm). Of course I have weekends available as well. I would never take a gig if I’m too busy and can’t provide the best care possible for your pet. I would prefer to take care of pets in their own home. I believe that pets in their own environment is the best situation for the pet, and myself.
