Pet Sitting in South Sterling

“A constant 5 star sitter for our cat. They have come in snow rain and hail over the years. If you need a person who will care about your pet and their needs, this is your one stop shop.”

“Shiela is a wonderful pet sitter! She is dependable and very responsive. She really loves animals and goes above and beyond with every visit. Our kitties absolutely love her! Many times we’ve asked for a few extra things (pick up packages, check on house items) and she is always happy to help. We feel very lucky to have found Shiela!”

“Vanessa was incredible with my little fur babies. I knew they were in good capable hands the whole time I was gone with all the cute pictures and videos she sent through the whole time she sat for them. And I could tell my cats loved her! I’m so happy to know I have someone to trust with my kitties if I ever go away again.”

“Brittney was very responsive and eager to help on late notice for our drop in needs. She was prompt and spent time with our dogs while we were out each day of our weekend. They were well cared for and we would book with Brittney again.”

About: As a dedicated pet professional with years of experience in dog shows, obedience training, and specialized behavioral care, I bring a level of expertise that goes far beyond basic pet sitting. My background includes handling and training dogs across all breed groups from high-energy Sporting breeds to gentle giants; with a focus on positive reinforcement and evidence-based methods. I do not use intimidation, aversives, or outdated techniques; my approach is rooted in patience, science, and an understanding of canine behavior. I specialize in working with fearful, reactive, and anxious dogs, helping them build confidence through structured, compassionate guidance. Whether it’s maintaining training routines, socializing puppies, or supporting special-needs pets, I tailor my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs. My experience in the show world has also given me a keen eye for health, structure, and proper conditioning—so your dog receives not just love, but knowledgeable, attentive care. For safety reasons, I do not care for pets on raw food diets. Research shows that dogs fed raw shed pathogenic bacteria in their saliva at levels high enough to pose risks to healthy adult humans and other animals. My clients’ well-being is my priority, so I adhere to strict hygiene practices to ensure everyone stays happy and healthy. Currently a college student with a flexible schedule, I treat every pet as if they were my own—whether it’s a lively walk, an overnight stay, or just some extra reassurance while you’re away. Let’s chat about how I can provide your dog (or cat!) with the expert care they deserve. As a part-time worker and student, I update my Rover calendar biweekly and accept bookings around my variable per-diem shifts. I prioritize pet care during my free hours—whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, and always confirm availability promptly. Need last-minute care? Just ask! I’ll let you know immediately if I can accommodate. I prioritize fear-free, positive reinforcement techniques tailored to each pet’s needs—whether it’s helping reactive dogs feel secure or enriching high-energy pups’ routines. With experience in medical care and rehabilitation, I follow protocols meticulously (meds, mobility support, etc.) and keep detailed updates for you. Every visit includes: • Stress-free handling (no forced interactions) • Custom mental/physical stimulation (puzzle games, scent work, etc.) • Environment checks (pet-proofing, hazard awareness) • Medical vigilance (experienced with injections, special diets, post-op care) For house sitting: I maintain your pet’s home routines to minimize anxiety and always leave spaces cleaner than I found them.

“Grace, I am so happy to have you part of pur puppies lives and that you have been so reliable in all that you do with quality and care for our babies while I am away taking care of my mom. Thank you”

“Kayla was great! From the first time she stopped by to meet Luna, I felt comfortable leaving Luna in Kayla's care. She took photos to show me anything important and Luna seemed happy and healthy when I came back. I'm very happy and would definitely recommend Kayla. I will absolutely be rebooking her next time I go away.”

“Nicole was great! All animals were happy and healthy when we returned home! At the meet and greet, she even offered to water any plants and check on mail as well! We will definitely be returning customers.”

“Nate took good care of my 2 senior cats while I was away on vacation. He did daily drop in visits, litter box, fed/watered, gave 1 daily medication, and spent time with them. He also sent pics and gave me updates. My house was clean when I got home. Nate was prompt to respond on the site, we met in advance at a public eatery to get to know each other, and he came to my house after to meet my cats and get a basic run down on their needs. He was very pleasant, easy to talk to, and my cats took an instant liking to him. I would highly recommend him to others and will hire him again in the future! It's so hard to find good, reliable yet reasonable pet care. Thank you so much Nate!!!”

About: The last 2 years I was helping run a foster for over 25 cats. That included rescuing them on our own if needed. I have always considered myself an animal whisperer, I can get along and bond with any of your pets. In my time running a foster I've had to help administer shots and medication. I am currently available at any time. I will always have the time to take care of and look after your pet. Making sure to give time to their needs and yours. You and your pets safety and satisfaction is my number one priority. If left with guidelines on your pet I will follow it exactly how it’s put so you are satisfied.

“Brydee was great. She communicated with us quickly and took the time to bond with our cat who had just moved into a new house.”

About: I've been surrounded by animals all my life living in the country. I spent my childhood riding horses and had a home full of Great Danes, pugs, and cats. I have currently for the past five years taken care of many dogs / cats surrounding Nay Aug Park, Scranton area, Clark Summit, and Lake Ariel. I own an Arabian horse, five ducks and two cats near Moscow PA on ten acres in the countryside. I promise to love your animals just like my own and so look forward to giving them a lovely time while you are away. I work for myself from home in documentary film so I have a very flexible morning and daytime schedule that I'm sure will be able to fit your needs. I make sure to take care of each pet as their owner wishes knowing that each pet and home is different. I always stick to a client's schedule knowing that animals are very routine based.

About: I currently have a dog and have had both dogs and cats my whole life. I love walking and animals so I figured this would be great second job. I am willing to discuss any arrangement that works for you and both of our animals. I am currently working part time and have time to drop in for walks, water plants, etc. Evening shift is better for me . Weekends anytime. My schedule varies. If you work 3 to 11 weekdays I am a perfect fit. I will care for your pet in your home. If walks are needed that is fine. If just outside play.. that will be fine. I am flexible

About: I've had dogs at home my whole life (I am 23), have experience working for a dog walking/pet care company, and have experience walking and caring for dogs of friends and neighbors. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and have experience walking multiple dogs at once. My hours for my job are flexible and I am always available to take care of pets. I am available 7 days a week and would love to help you and your pet(s). I will strictly follow the pet owner's instructions on how to care for their pet. This is obviously owner dependent, but I will also be sure to respect the space and time of the pet owner.

About: I’ve been a dog owner for 8 years, but a dog lover my whole life. Growing up without a dog, it was my dream to one day not only own a dog, but to care and love for all animals. As soon as my husband and I bought our own place to live, we knew adding a dog to our family would be first on our list. We now have 2 sweet, high energy labrador retrievers. Our yellow one, named Copper, was born in 2016 and our black one, named Buddy, was born the following year. We have had both dogs since they were about 7 weeks old. I also have experience in care of small dogs too. My parents have had 2 shih-tzus since 2012 & 2013 and I’ve occasionally cared for them, more so when I was in college. (But I see and play with them on a regular basis) I have some small farm animals in our backyard. I have had 2 Nigerian dwarf goats since 2022 and chickens since 2024. I currently am a stay at home mom of two little ones, but I work part time during the week 2 days. My schedule is flexible, but I’m mostly open on the weekends Friday afternoon through Monday night. I will care for your pets the same way I care for my pets, with lots of love and lots of attention. In my home, our dogs sleep on the bed with us, lay on the couch with us, get lots of snuggles and lots of play time outside.

About: I have been training and taking of dogs, from medium to large aggressive breeds since I was 13. It is a passion of mine that I hold dearly to my heart. I have adopted and have brought dogs and have successful trained them myself. I now have 2 County Cane Corso who are highly trained and loved. I have also in the past owned a Ankita, a Pitbull and a German Shepherd. I have also worked with Rottweilers and also Ankitas that were not mine who were mainly male dominant and allowed me to work with them. Also I have worked with old dogs and young abused rescue dogs, ones with anxiety and health issues. I find trust to be the biggest quality and also genuineness. For me I have always felt a dog can read your heart and soul and intentions with in a few mins. That includes if you are willing to be there. With this said I also have all my clearance backround checks, CPR certificated and medical technician certification as well. I have also worked with abused children and even though it is something I love to do that brings joy to my heart, dogs bring something different, that I need more of and that is peace. I not only enjoy this job but I take pride in all my work but it's the love they give back that makes me love going to work. I have children and my husband works so this job is very flexible for me and I do have child care so I can go to work. When arriving at the home I am very cautious and respectful to the animals space. I also have a ball or a toy that squeaks of some kind, I usually sit by the door and wait for them to come greet me and than I proceed to their treats and give one before the walk and after the walk. After the walk, than play and feed them food and water. While waiting for food to digest we relaxe watxh TV. Definitely work on some training as this helps develop a bond and play before back out for another walk and treat. Before leaving I pick up any pop outside and clean any mess dogs made, including their bowls and I clean the floors. If dog is able to be washed by other people I will also give the dog a bath the last day of sitting so that the owners come home to a clean house and a clean brushed dog. That is of they want me to wash their dog or dogs of course. If I must leave I do come back in the night or early morning like 5am to take care of them and stay with them for a few hrs before leaving again. I also leave on soft instrumental music on while gone if dog has high anxiety to sounds outside.

About: NOTE: Shae is my legal name but I go by Freyja. Having grown up with dogs (black labs mostly), rabbits, birds, fish, lizards, and amphibians, I am quite comfortable around all animals. It seems only natural that I ended up working in the Denali NPS Kennel and ran sled dog tours on Svalbard. I worked at a dog daycare for about 4 months and a pig rescue/boarding facility for a few months as well. I LOVE big dogs! I am self-employed though I am a student, so my schedule is a bit different most days. Generally, afternoons and evenings are available. As my self employment requires me to be at my home office, I prefer not to do overnights regularly. As each pet requires something a little different, I like to ensure that I know what they need to thrive and will do my absolute best to make sure they receive it.
