“Christina and Alexander were wonderful dog sitters. My GSD baby Max felt spoiled, surrounded the love of their family. He was well taken care of. He was well fed, exercised and trained. They followed all my instructions. They provided daily updates with the pictures and videos. They reinforced Max's potty training and obtained the superb results. I was very happy and felt very reassured that Max was in a good hands.”
“Leila was amazing. I was very nervous at first because I went into this not doing a meet and greet due to distance but once I met her, all my fears went away and I was completely comfortable leaving my Oliver with her. She communicates well and sends lots of pictures. Will definitely be using her again.”
“Absolutely amazing, Monica was very responsive, she sent photos, she definitely knew exactly what she was doing!!! She managed to make a good experience out of a tough day for my cat. I will never not appreciate how much love and comfort she provided for my fur baby.”
“Melissa and Angel are so amazing! They did a fabulous job at looking after my sweet girl and sent me lots of updates with pictures and videos. She looked so comfy and cozy. She had a blast! My girl had an ear infection at the time of boarding as well and they did very well making sure to stay on her medication schedule. She was very calm and not agitated at all coming back from her stay. We had a huge hiccup with car troubles and needed to extend her stay 2 more nights. Melissa and Angel made me feel so comfortable and assured me that everything would be okay when extending the times. They worked with me the entire time! Thank you both and Sheva hopes to see you again! :)”
“This is the second time we have trusted Emily with our dog Jenny and it was just as great as the last time! Emily made sure that Jenny was comfortable and helped ensured that she adjusted well. We also received many pics of her while we were away which was an extra peace of mind. She’s the best!”
“Joanne was fantastic and made me feel she would protect (and spoil) my two high-energy dogs. Joanne was very responsive and kept us updated frequently. I would 100% recommend. Thank you, Joanne!”
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.
“Elaine was great with my fur baby. She has great communication and we felt very safe leaving him overnight. We will definitely use her again after we return from FL in the spring.”
“I highly recommend Laurie for dog sitting! She took excellent care of my dog, showing great attention and affection. Laurie was reliable and responsible, and she kept me updated with photos and messages, making me feel at ease. My dog came home happy and well cared for. Thank you, Laurie, for your outstanding service!”
“Very friendly and communicative. Sent photo updates. Very quick response time. Oakley seemed so happy to be there and got along with her family well. My dog had an uncharacteristic accident (pee) over night and Ana handled this without issue or frustration. She helped Oakleys settle in and feel comfortable so this didn’t happen again!”
“I cannot say enough positive things about Abner. He was very communicative from the start and helped ease my anxiety about leaving my dogs with a stranger. Throughout my trip away, he sent photos and updates on both of my babies. My dogs came home happy and I could tell that they were on their own mini vacation over the weekend. Abner was a delight, and I hope to have him take care of my babies again in the future.”
“Jazmine (and her boyfriend Norman) took wonderful care of our 12-year-old black Lab, Judy, who is a cancer survivor and a bit particular—sweet, but needy and not a fan of other dogs. Jazmine cared for her in her home, made sure she had her morning medicine, and sent us daily updates with snuggle photos that made us feel completely at ease. Judy was clearly loved and beautifully looked after. Warm, professional, and trustworthy—highly recommend.”
“6 stars needs to be on the scale. Been using rover for a while, Scott and his family are friendly, easy going and a joy to “work” with. Welcoming to are puppy (at the time of) Cheesy. He was transparent the entire stay with picture dumps and updates daily. Two thumbs up”
“Jason and Brit are so sweet. They treated my Cayenne like their own. And they really seem to know all the personalities of the dogs they care for. Can’t say enough good things about them. We will use them again for sure!”
“Shantel pulled through for us on a last minute boarding. Kai seemed to enjoy her best life at Shantell's based on the pictures we got back. Great communication, would choose her again if we needed to.”
“Michelle, Sheila, and family were amazing with our girl, Oakland. They took our last minute booking which was a life saver and right away put us at so much ease as they accommodated her high energy and nervousness. Oakland is our family so we are very picky with who watches her, but right away I knew she was in good hands. We got lots of updates and pictures and for the first time in a very long time, we enjoyed our trip without worrying about our girl the whole time. She returned home tired out and happy! I will 1000% be using Michelle and Sheila again. Overall such kind people that you can trust with your best friend!”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter and dog walker based out of Newton, NJ. Animals are my life! I’ve been working full time in petcare for close to four years, and as a caretaker for many years. Before going into dogcare full time, I was most recently working as a nursing home aid, and CHHA. Before that, I worked with farm animals at the Turtle Back Zoo, and volunteered with the cat adoption agency, ‘Kitty Kind.’ I’ve had and taken care of my dogs, as well as others, ever since I was a little girl. I missed working with our four-legged friends, and I’m very happy to have returned to this fuzzier kind of work. Right now at home, I’ve got two Malamute Labrador mixes. Needless to say, I do have experience handling big dogs, though I love the little ones, too! I am available for overnights, in most cases, so long as I’m not on schedule for another client. My main duty right now is taking care of my animals at home, so I’m also happy to take on whatever odd shifts people may need help with. How I would care for a client’s fuzzy friend would be an entirely personalized experience. I want to know how YOU want them taken care of, and what you are comfortable with and looking for. Then, I will enthusiastically and reliably fill that role, whilst ensuring a safe and protective experience for your pet.

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!
About: I’ve always had a love for dogs, and before I moved to America we owned two amazing high energetic dogs. I loved taking them on walks and letting them explore the environment. I will ensure your dog is having as much fun as I will on his/her walk. I like getting exercise through walking so your dog will be getting plenty of it. Your dogs safety is also a top priority to me at all times and I will ensure that whatever activities we’ll be engaging in, they'll be kept safe. I work full time but still have plenty of time in the day to play and love your pup, my husband is also usually home as well and will generally help with care I have a fenced in backyard that I like taking the dogs outside to if they don’t need a long walk while they stay. We can also play.
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.
“Autumn is awesome and reliable! She goes wayyy above and beyond! And she actually gives Kelce (cat) attention and gets her toys out and plays with her. Don’t hesitate to book with her!”
“Ashley is a wonderful pet sitter; both dependable and trustworthy. You can tell she loves animals, spending time during visits not just feeding them, but actually giving the pets love and attention. During my time away, she kept me up to date on the cats' status and sent a lot of photos of the cats being cared for.”
“Many truly went above and beyond while caring for my cat. She sent me regular updates and pictures and even took time to play my cat's favorite game while I was gone. The temperatures in Seattle rose to dangerous levels in my absence. Mandy eased my anxiety by checking the heat level on the back of my cat's ear to make sure she wasn't overheating. I didn't know about this tactic beforehand and am grateful I could learn from her. It was a comfort knowing my cat was in such good hands.”
“Jennifer was excellent. Prompt, attentive, and went above and beyond to care for my cats while I was away. She gave detailed information and sent me pics, which was awesome! Even though the cats were hiding!”
“Logan was a delight to work with. She took time to personally meet and greet prior to our vacation departure which added to our sense of security that our fur baby would be well cared for. Logan arrived each morning during her scheduled time frame which provided continuance of routine for our kitty. We really appreciated her daily reports and photos. She is very responsible. I will definitely ask Logan to care for our kitty in the future and give her the highest recommendation.”
“We had such a great experience! Our request was very last minute, and she was incredibly accommodating and responsive. She even came by before our trip to go over everything, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was so kind, attentive, and clearly cares about the animals she looks after. She not only took great care of our cats, but was also able to check on our chickens, which we really appreciated. It made being away so much easier knowing all of our animals were in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!”

“Melissa and Angel are great! They took great care of my dog Whiskey, providing walks, playtime, and plenty of pictures throughout. I will definitely use them again when I’m in the area. Highly recommend!!”
“Leila was amazing, this was the first time Ash had been away from us since we got him last year. He was nervous and made a mess at Leila's, she was so kind about it! We are working on his anxiety and she made it much easier for us to leave him for the day. We will absolutely be using her again!”
“Maggie had a great time at Scott’s. We felt very comfortable leaving Maggie with Scott and when we returned to pick her up we could tell that she liked him and was comfortable there. She will definitely be visiting again.”

About: I’m very attentive and careful with dogs—I have a wonderfully silly pup of my own, so I understand how curious (and mischievous!) they can be. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I’ll make sure they’re well-fed, well-cared for, and having plenty of fun while they’re with me. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from a sassy medium-sized Terrier to an extremely large, goofy Malamute/Husky. I’ve also regularly cared for my cousin’s Yorkies and currently share my home with a very loved Coonhound/Terrier mix. Because of this, I’m comfortable adapting to different energy levels, temperaments, and routines. I truly believe dogs deserve patience, affection, and consistency. I go above and beyond to ensure every dog in my care feels loved, secure, and never overlooked—just like they would at home. I work from home during the following hours, which allows me to provide frequent attention, potty breaks, and supervision: Monday–Friday: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM I work from home Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, allowing me to provide frequent potty breaks, meals, playtime, supervision, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day! I live in a spacious two-bedroom apartment designed to be a comfortable and safe environment for dogs. There are multiple cozy, high-quality dog beds throughout the space so pups always have options for relaxing and settling in. I also have a window perch overlooking Main Street, which dogs love for observing the world go by. My town is very walkable and dog-friendly, with several nearby businesses that welcome dogs—perfect for safe walks, enrichment, and (of course) quality people-watching. My own dog is extremely gentle and well-socialized—best described as a “cat in a dog’s body.” She is calm, respectful of other dogs’ space, and enjoys playful interactions when invited, making her a great companion for visiting pups.

“Christine and her family made my dog feel very at home during his stay! He went on so many walks and played for hours and I know he came home happy! I would highly recommend booking with Christine😊”
About: You name it, I have had that animal friend growing up, especially dogs and cats. My cat Mama of 20 years had recently passed. I took care of her in her elderly state making sure she got the proper medications and attention she needed. I currently own an American Long Hair named Felix. He is fixed and friendly. Our newest memeber of our home is Cloud, a cuddly Golden Retreiver. We are fostering him. His owner left him behind when he moved out of state. I am capable of taking care of your loved one however needed. Walks, being brushed, bathed, medicine, playtime...you got it! I also live near a lake so there can be some water play! I look forward to meeting your pet! I do work part time, but am available to have most of my hours spent with your pet/s playing outside, at the lake, or in my yard. I can crate your pet if that is what you recommend. I do have a yard and an outdoor screen house. My pets are available to play with yours, or I can baby gate certian rooms off. I also live on a private lane and have many safe quiet roads to take pets for walks.
“Thank you so much for responding super promptly and at the very last minute! The area is nice and stress free for Bronte, especially since it was a last minute booking. I will surely be a repeat customer next time I am in the Poconos.”
“Emily is wonderful. I had my first puppy for less than 1 month when my work schedule demanded that I work a Saturday all day and night. I found Emily on Rover.com and trusted my instinct that she would be a great puppy sitter, for my puppy ...and for me. Before finding Emily I feared I'd spend 9 hours worried about my dog, and the day/ night would drag on feeling like forever. Thanks to Emily I had no worries whatsoever! I loved seeing the photos and video she sent, further boosting my confidence my dog was happy, healthy, safe and in the best of care. Please if you are seeking any services for dog sitting/ care, know that Emily and her household (her dogs, animals, and husband) are trustworthy, responsible, and the best! This coming from an over anxious first time puppy owner who was a complete stranger to Emily before luckily finding her on this website. I decided on utilizing Emily over friends/ family because of her knowledge and experience. Im so glad I did, it was the best choice. Thanks so much Emily, and I'll 100% be reaching out for future puppy care again! :)”
About: As a nature-loving Poconos local, I bring a mix of deep care and joyful energy to every walk. I was the proud mama of a small dog who lived to be 15— she my best friend and like a child to me—so I understand the depth of love, trust, and nuance that comes with caring for a beloved fur baby. Whether your pup is sprightly or senior, playful or shy, I tune into their personality and pace. I offer more than just care—I offer connection, trust, and peace of mind. I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to offer consistent, reliable walks throughout the day. I’m happy to communicate updates, photos, or notes so you always feel connected and confident. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I bring a calm, attentive presence to every walk, always keeping a close eye on surroundings, leash safety, and your fur baby’s well-being. With years of experience as a devoted dog mama, I understand how to build trust—through consistency, gentle communication, and honoring each dog’s unique needs.
About: Taking care of animals is my calling! They love me and I love them. I’ve always enjoyed working with animals since a young age. I have worked in the dog grooming business training to hopefully own my own dog hotel in the near future! I also have worked at boarding facilities for dogs/cats. I have found that I truly love anything that provides a better space for animal boarding/care. I’m excited to have expanded my experience in dog sitting/walking! I will be offering grooming to the pups I dog sit/walk so feel free to ask about getting a bath/groom! Currently I work full time at a veterinary facility/grooming facility. I can provide my services so long as the dates are available on my schedule! :) Each pet would be cared for differently according to their needs. Lots of love will be given to each dog I sit/walk, if allowed a few treats and toys for good behavior, and safety for the dogs and myself will be the main priority.
“We are so appreciative to Michele. She was sable to accommodate us at the last minute. Her home is so inviting and dog friendly. Mason, our golden doodle enjoyed his time immensely and needed to be cajoled to hop back into our car to get home! I’ve never seen that before! I think he wanted to stay longer. Mason was safe, well cared for and happy. We will certainly reach out to Michele to look after Mason the next time we are in town again!”
“Super sweet, professional, and accommodating- loved the updates and my pup had the best time!! I think my dog has a new best friend! 😂🤍 thanks for taking such good care of our little guy”

I am great with commands and a great alpha for the dogs to follow.
About: As a proud owner of a Great Dane, I’ve gained firsthand insight into the unique needs and challenges that come with caring for larger breeds, and I’m well-equipped to manage dogs of all sizes with their energy, health, and well-being!🐾 As a student-athlete, my schedule can be pretty packed during the season, but right now, I'm in the off-season, which gives me more flexibility to dedicate time to pet care. I make sure to prioritize pet sitting around my routine, whether it’s morning walks, playtime, or administering care. I structure my day to allow plenty of time for the pets I care for, ensuring they get attention, exercise, and love! When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, safety and trust are my top priorities. In my own home, I ensure that the environment is pet-friendly and secure, with designated spaces for pets to play, rest, and feel comfortable. At client’s home, I follow their guidelines carefully to make sure their pets feel at ease in their familiar surroundings. I always take extra precautions to pet-proof the area, ensure doors and gates are securely closed, and maintain a calm, consistent routine for the pets.

“Gill was able to do a meet-and-greet with us and walk Poppy on short notice! It is reassuring knowing that our puppy was able to have great care right off the get-go. Gill sent us pictures and gave us a descriptive update on how the walk went while we weren't home. We appreciate her love for animals and the thoroughness of care!”

I also have access to a fenced in area of the yard so that your pet can run around safely. I also have a friendly cat that warms up to other cats and dogs after a short getting to know you period.

“It’s obvious from the minute you communicate with Thalia she loves animals. She even works for a shelter to help animals in need. Thalia was dependable, a great communicator & very conscientious. I was gone both times can’t wait to meet her!”
“Autumn is great, Jace loves when she visits. She works the days she says she can and is very up front and honest! We are glad she will be continuing to care for Jace!!”
About: Hi there! I would love to have the honor of taking care of your fur babies! I have plenty of experience considering I have 9 dogs of my own... yes 9! Two big dogs and the rest are small to medium sized. So I am basically a dog walker at my own house just without the pay, haha. I am a recent college graduate from ESU with a BA in musical theatre but I would love to in the future become a veterinarian someday. My schedule is open and I also have my own transportation! I would describe myself as very reliable, kind, and caring. I hope you consider me to be your pups dog walker, I can promise you they will be in good hands!(:
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: Stay at home mom with large fenced in yard, many years of experience with dogs. We currently have a 20lb Puggle/Terrier mix and 110lb Great Dane. Both are crate trained and friendly with other animals. I am generally available seven days a week, 24 hours a day for boarding, daycare, walks, training, etc. I have reliable transportation and can be available on short notice. We own a 3400 sq foot home in East Stroudsburg on .75 acres. The dogs are generally kept on the first floor with multiple dog beds and welcome on the furniture. I have crates available if needed. Our large backyard is fenced in with locks on the gates. The dogs are usually supervised while outside. We leave water down all day for the dogs and share treats such as apples, carrots, peanut butter and milk bones.
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!
About: As a proud owner of a Great Dane, I’ve gained firsthand insight into the unique needs and challenges that come with caring for larger breeds, and I’m well-equipped to manage dogs of all sizes with their energy, health, and well-being!🐾 As a student-athlete, my schedule can be pretty packed during the season, but right now, I'm in the off-season, which gives me more flexibility to dedicate time to pet care. I make sure to prioritize pet sitting around my routine, whether it’s morning walks, playtime, or administering care. I structure my day to allow plenty of time for the pets I care for, ensuring they get attention, exercise, and love! When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, safety and trust are my top priorities. In my own home, I ensure that the environment is pet-friendly and secure, with designated spaces for pets to play, rest, and feel comfortable. At client’s home, I follow their guidelines carefully to make sure their pets feel at ease in their familiar surroundings. I always take extra precautions to pet-proof the area, ensure doors and gates are securely closed, and maintain a calm, consistent routine for the pets.
“Melanie has been walking my dogs now for two months. She is awesome with my two dogs. She is extremely responsible and supremely trustworthy. I have the confidence of knowing that she will take care of my home as I would. I trust her enough that she has my house keys and alarm code. She keeps notified about the dogs status as she arrives and leaves. Melanie is a gem.”
“Amanda’s perfect mix of knowledge, skill and kindness In taking care of our German Shepherd-Hound mix, gives us peace of mind that our senior dog is in terrific hands when we are away for the day!”
About: I love taking care of fur babies and I had a 120lb Great Pyrenees and mini schnauzer myself. As an experienced dog handler, I'll be sure your dog gets excersize, stays safe, and is taken care of and loved when you're gone. Whatever your dogs needs, just let me know and I will be sure to provide for them and send daily pictures too! Walk, play, bathe, visit, cuddle, or stay overnights. If you are training your dog I can continue it so they get all the practice while you're gone. Anything else, feel free to ask with a message! Please include in your messages your pets schedules and any special care, training, or behavior instructions to note. I work from home so pets usually stay around me the whole day! I get breaks to take them out and play. Home dinner time and wind down before sleep. Fenced yard, will walk on leash around neighborhood, crate is great to bring if they are used to sleeping in it, I let them go in and out as they please
About: My family has owned a pet sitting business in Stroudsburg, called IOU Pet Care, for 15+ years. The first job I ever had was going to people’s homes and walking their pups for an hour, checking food and water bowls as well as litter boxes, or even staying the night there. For the past 15 years, since I was 15 years old, I’ve cared for almost every species of house pet you can think of, in just about every way that the owners needed. I genuinely love animals. Playing with them, training them, caring for them, it’s such a rewarding experience for both of us. I have 4 cats and 2 dogs of my own, and they make my life so much better. I’m always building cat walls and catios, new interactive toys for the dogs, and whatever else I can do to give them all the best lives they could possibly have. When working with my family’s business, it’s always been “customized pet care needs.” I plan to stick with that. I have no allergies. I’ve cared for all ages and sizes of cats, dogs, fish, birds, hamsters, and probably a few other species that aren’t coming to mind at the moment. I can walk, hike, run, feed, clean up after, and administer some medication to a vast majority of your pets. Let me know what you’re looking for, and as long as I can do it, I will!
About: I’ve been taking care of animals all my life and worked in a doggy day care for over a year. I am educated in general animal anatomy and common conditions given that I was previously enrolled in veterinary courses. I am on track to become a veterinarian so your pet’s wellness is at the top of my priority list!! I’m also extremely comfortable working with all kinds and sizes of animals! I am currently enrolled in a biology program for my pre-vet degree in which I am unavailable Mondays and Wednesdays. I can do day check ins/walks on Tuesdays and Thursday-Sunday at any time. I am also available Thursday-Sunday for pet sitting as well. I will be more than happy to go above and beyond the given instruction as per the client. This includes (if requested) long walks/runs, extra play time, and thorough clean up. I will ensure that the client comes home to a sleepy and happy pet!!

“Melissa and Angel are so amazing! They did a fabulous job at looking after my sweet girl and sent me lots of updates with pictures and videos. She looked so comfy and cozy. She had a blast! My girl had an ear infection at the time of boarding as well and they did very well making sure to stay on her medication schedule. She was very calm and not agitated at all coming back from her stay. We had a huge hiccup with car troubles and needed to extend her stay 2 more nights. Melissa and Angel made me feel so comfortable and assured me that everything would be okay when extending the times. They worked with me the entire time! Thank you both and Sheva hopes to see you again! :)”
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.
“Very friendly and communicative. Sent photo updates. Very quick response time. Oakley seemed so happy to be there and got along with her family well. My dog had an uncharacteristic accident (pee) over night and Ana handled this without issue or frustration. She helped Oakleys settle in and feel comfortable so this didn’t happen again!”
“I cannot say enough positive things about Abner. He was very communicative from the start and helped ease my anxiety about leaving my dogs with a stranger. Throughout my trip away, he sent photos and updates on both of my babies. My dogs came home happy and I could tell that they were on their own mini vacation over the weekend. Abner was a delight, and I hope to have him take care of my babies again in the future.”
“6 stars needs to be on the scale. Been using rover for a while, Scott and his family are friendly, easy going and a joy to “work” with. Welcoming to are puppy (at the time of) Cheesy. He was transparent the entire stay with picture dumps and updates daily. Two thumbs up”
“Jason and Brit are so sweet. They treated my Cayenne like their own. And they really seem to know all the personalities of the dogs they care for. Can’t say enough good things about them. We will use them again for sure!”
“Shantel pulled through for us on a last minute boarding. Kai seemed to enjoy her best life at Shantell's based on the pictures we got back. Great communication, would choose her again if we needed to.”
“Michelle, Sheila, and family were amazing with our girl, Oakland. They took our last minute booking which was a life saver and right away put us at so much ease as they accommodated her high energy and nervousness. Oakland is our family so we are very picky with who watches her, but right away I knew she was in good hands. We got lots of updates and pictures and for the first time in a very long time, we enjoyed our trip without worrying about our girl the whole time. She returned home tired out and happy! I will 1000% be using Michelle and Sheila again. Overall such kind people that you can trust with your best friend!”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter and dog walker based out of Newton, NJ. Animals are my life! I’ve been working full time in petcare for close to four years, and as a caretaker for many years. Before going into dogcare full time, I was most recently working as a nursing home aid, and CHHA. Before that, I worked with farm animals at the Turtle Back Zoo, and volunteered with the cat adoption agency, ‘Kitty Kind.’ I’ve had and taken care of my dogs, as well as others, ever since I was a little girl. I missed working with our four-legged friends, and I’m very happy to have returned to this fuzzier kind of work. Right now at home, I’ve got two Malamute Labrador mixes. Needless to say, I do have experience handling big dogs, though I love the little ones, too! I am available for overnights, in most cases, so long as I’m not on schedule for another client. My main duty right now is taking care of my animals at home, so I’m also happy to take on whatever odd shifts people may need help with. How I would care for a client’s fuzzy friend would be an entirely personalized experience. I want to know how YOU want them taken care of, and what you are comfortable with and looking for. Then, I will enthusiastically and reliably fill that role, whilst ensuring a safe and protective experience for your pet.

“Laura and her family treated me and my dog so kindly! She scheduled a meet and great prior to help introduce my dog and her dog together. She listened to everything I may had worries about confirmed that she would do everything she would to keep Stormi safe! This is the first time I ever used this app/service and I’m so lucky I found Laura and her family! I would 100% recommend Laura to anyone and will be using her services in the future!! I also loved she kept sending me pics and videos of Stormi! She made sure Stormi was comfortable, safe, and loved and that all I could have asked for.”

“Joan was a great sitter for our baby, Nimer. I loved receiving daily updates on how he was doing as well as pictures and videos. We chose the boarding option, and Nimer had the best time at Joan's house, sleeping on her bed, playing in the cat tunnels, and climbing the cat trees. He also got along so well with her ferrets! Her house is free of any harmful products and is a safe space for just about any pet. Nimer will definitely be coming back when we go on our next trip. Highly recommend!”
“Jahada is just wonderful! She treats my dog like one of her own. I always know he’s in good hands while he’s in her care. I highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Our two large dogs had a great time with Heather and came back so well-rested and happy! We really enjoyed receiving photos during their stay, seeing how much fun they had! Thank you, Heather!”
“Our dog, Frankie, stayed with Marleny and Luis for the second time! He had a great time playing and relaxing with them. They were so responsible, flexible and kind. We even got to keep up with our boy throughout the weekend through pictures sent! We would bring him back there.”

“At this point David has become family. I am truly grateful to have found such a kindhearted and genuine person to look after my baby. I had an urgent need for his services and he responded right away. His kind words were much needed during my trip, and as always he kept me updated on Phoenix. I knew from our first contact that David had an amazing spirit. I can’t thank you enough for your kindness and support during my time of travels.”
