“Isabella did a great job caring for Roxie. She sent a bunch of nice pictures and reported that Roxie got along very well with her dogs, which was great to hear. Isabella is cheerful, flexible and very responsive to my messages both before and during the stay”
“Leila did a great job taking care of both my dogs. She had extra toys for them to play with as well as extra dog beds for afternoon naps. My dogs had humans to snuggle at night. Leila walked them in the morning and we received pictures every day. Great fenced in backyard. We will use again”
“Monica was a great person very caring very reliable with my kitten. I appreciated how she updated me with pictures and also helpful with ideas to take care of my kitten. I highly recommend her and family!”
“I found a great family to watch my dogs over the weekend! Melissa, Angel and their 2 boys made my pups feel right at home! They sent photos and a video each day of the dogs sleeping, playing, watching TV on the couch with family. Mellisa and Angel are my new go to people with Rover.”
“Our dog is Aurora, a GSD with some serious anxiety and Scott handled it like the pro he is. Everything was on her terms. He has 2 other wonderful Aussie shepherds that helped make Aurora feel comfortable over the 10 days she was in his care. Wonderful amount of land for running and playing and totally willing to put up with her diet. 10/10 recommend his family and will be working with him anytime we need a sitter!”
“After having a bad experience in the past, we decided to try booking a sitter through Rover once again. This time around, I have nothing but great things to say about Maria and her family. From the minute we booked, she was always in touch with us and sent us pictures whenever asked. The house was well kept and there was a fenced back yard for the dogs to play in. She took care of him as if Nico was her own and that made the entire experience even more special for us. What more can you ask for? I would highly recommend using her for daycare & boarding services because you will not be disappointed. I give Maria a 5/5 for customer service and experience!”
“Ana was an absolute pleasure to work with! From the very first message she was warm, friendly, and super responsive. Communication was excellent the entire time — she kept us updated with photos and check-ins so we never had to wonder how the pups were doing. Our dogs clearly had a fantastic time with her. They came home happy, relaxed, and tired in the best way. It’s obvious Ana genuinely loves dogs and knows how to make them feel comfortable and cared for. We feel so lucky to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Zeus loved his stay. I enjoy receiving multiple pictures of my fur baby during his boarding. Abner went out of his way to pick up Zeus, for which I appreciated, and reduced some of my pre travel stress. I will be using him again.”
“First time using Rover. 4 year old yorkie with alot of energy. Emily is super professional and loving. Her care is a 10/10 and we will be using her services for the foreseeable future. Thank you Emily for your tender loving care with our baby Toby ✨️”
“Sharon is wonderful!🌸 I can only trust her with my Cindy! Thanks to Sharon, I can go on vacation with peace of mind, knowing that my dog will be well taken care of. Cindy is no longer young and has serious health problems. Sharon always takes care of her with love.❤️”
“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!”
“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.”
“Piper loved staying with Jason and the other furry folks! She is a bit sensitive and Jason quickly made her feel secure and happy and loved. We will bring her back to stay the next time we travel.”
“Gwen took very good care for my little guy (Noel) as he had surgery days prior to his stay. Gwen made sure he took his medicine on time and sent me photos throughout his stay. He’ll look forward staying again next time we’re around. Thank you :)”
“Sarah and her husband accommodated another short notice overnight with my big, goofy puppy. She was very flexible with arranging the care and sent many updates through the day. They make sure dogs in their care get whatever they need- exercise, playtime, attention and love. 😀”
About: Hi! I'm Agatha, an animal lover eager to meet new pets:) | grew up around animals my entire life (birds, fish, cats, dogs). As an animal caretaker of many years, l've learned how to instill routine into pets' lives. Pet’s needs always come before my own, and your furry friend will be treated like they are part of the family! I make sure they get enough play time, training, and LOVE. We truly have so much more to learn from animals than they have to learn from us. I’m currently doing freelance work from home so no meetings or anything, your pet will have my full attention ! At most I will be gone for an hour a day to make some food. I live in my family home with 5 huskies who have their own fenced off area in the front side of the house. In the back of the house there's acres of land for your dog to exercise (also fenced off) and have fun. If you need boarding but your dog does not get along with others, l can still provide that as we have a large RV and a little air bnb cabin where I can stay with your pup or cat :)

“Isabella, a was very attentive to Koa! He does not get along with people but he was cared for and pampered enough that he came out of his shell. Kept us updated throughout and sent us loads of photos. Can’t thank her enough for the amazing hospitality!”
“Gilian is FANTASTIC! She had an instant rapport with all 3 of our kitties and she also was able to administer a pill to our cat Bruno easily. She has been awesome with communication and followed all our instructions perfectly. A+!”
“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.”

“Jonathan did an outstanding job of caring for my Chesapeake Bay Retriever in his home for a week while we were away. He kept us connected with regular photos and messages. I was left with the feeling that he truly cared for my dog with his heart, and I felt she was in a safe, secure and loving home for the week. I highly recommend Jonathan.”
“David did a great job caring for Audrey, my indoor/outdoor cat, keeping to a consistent routine, spending time with Audrey who does not easily warm up to new people but definitely trusted David. It was a comfort knowing someone would be checking on Audrey every morning. I had several deliveries and David brought the packages inside for me. I appreciated the daily photos of Audrey as well.”
“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!”
About: I've always wanted a cat of my own, but unfortunately my family is allergic. Even though I haven't been able to have one at home, I've always loved being around cats and have taken the time to learn how to properly care for them. I understand the importance of keeping litter boxes clean, providing fresh food and water, respecting each cat's unique personality, and giving them attention on their own terms. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers a quiet companion, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I'll give them plenty of affection (if they want it!), keep their routine consistent, and provide updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I know that every cat is different, and I'll always care for yours with the same patience, respect, and love I'd give my own if I were lucky enough to have one.
“Thalia accepted my reservation right before we had to leave for a trip and my cat needed medication to be given 2x a day. Thalia took care of it no problem, sent me photos where I could see how the eye was looking and made me feel at ease. My cat was so happy, healthy and well cared for. I will definitely be rebooking. Highly recommend”
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.
About: I have a deaf dog that is 10 years old who is my best friend and she learns with hand signals. I love every dog and treat them like they're my own. You can trust that I'm the one for your best friend. As of now my schedule is very open and flexible. We can set up a schedule that works best for you and your pup to get the job done properly. I am available to go to your home and check on your dog as often as needed. I will give them walks as often as they're use to in a neighborhood you're comfortable with. Also, if you have a fenced in yard, I am wiling to let them out and play with them there as well.
“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.”
“Jenna communicates so well! Inga is a rescue who had a rough 2 years as a pup. It has taken Inga 14 years of TLC from us to get to where she is - lovable and sweet. Jenna is experienced and knows how to approach Inga and win her over her affection. Kudos to Jenna❣️”

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.
About: I love all animals, especially cats! I love discovering their personalities and earning their trust. I have had my own cats for 5 years, everything from litter box cleanings to hair ball tips and tricks to FIV medication administration.

The pictures Seb sent during her stay kept my mind at ease. I highly recommend Seb. He is excellent with dogs and a genuinely kind and lovely person.”

About: Like most I have had dogs my entire life but my last soul mate of 16 years died a year ago and I cannot bring myself to get another dog. That being said, we love animals in this household and want them around all the time...I think you get it. My other job is a professional nature photographer so not only will you get amazing photos of your dog, I can bring them with me on my assignments if you like. Like I said in my experience, my other job is a professional photographer giving me hours and hours at my house editing my work. Also, my partner Julie is a yoga teacher who works for herself so there is always someone home. The most important thing is that it is your dog, your rules. We have the most inviting back yard but it is not fenced, however, our house is in a rural community with great neighbors. Your dog will never be off a leash if that is your wish.
“Wow! I can not say enough good things about Katie, Francesco and their pet-sitting! They took the best care of our pups, and our dogs came back nice and tired from having such a great time! I would highly recommend!”

“Estefania was amazing with Simba! Initially, I was a bit concerned about how her dog, Nova, would react to Simba since he’s very playful and persistent, but they ended up getting along just fine. When we first arrived for our meet and greet, Estefania’s home was clean and calm, and Simba immediately felt comfortable, heading straight for the toys. Talking with Estefania and hearing her insights on how puppies behave put my mind at ease, and I felt confident leaving Simba in her care. She also sent wonderful videos of Simba, and I could tell by his energy and excitement that Estefania treated him like her own. Simba can’t wait to visit Nova and Estefania again!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs with a wide range of needs. I currently care for three dogs of my own, including a senior dog who requires extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I also cared for my previous dog throughout his battle with epilepsy. Administering his medication on schedule and staying with him during and after his seizures taught me how important it is to remain calm, attentive, and compassionate during stressful situations. Because of these experiences, I'm comfortable caring for senior pets, administering oral medications, and providing extra attention to animals with special needs. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with plenty of patience, affection, playtime, and reliable care. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. Since I am a Nursing Student at ESU, my daily schedule is jam-packed with classes. However, my evenings are usually relatively open and I am always open to overnight sitting! I love animals with all my heart and spending time with different personalities is really special to me. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. In my client's home, I make it a priority to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible by following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, going on walks or playing as needed, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I'm also happy to administer oral medications and provide extra care for senior pets or those with special needs. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I currently care for three dogs, including a senior dog, and I previously cared for my epileptic dog, ensuring he received his medication on time and staying by his side whenever he experienced a seizure. Those experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and how to remain calm in unexpected situations. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless playtime, quiet cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I'll adapt to their individual personality and needs. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

About: Whether you own a cat or a dog or some other pet, every pet owner knows that our animals play a key role in our life. They are there through thick and thin, always wanting to provide comfort and pure love, while requesting it all in return as it is much deserved. I believe through compassion, love, and the pure joy of my love for animals, I am able to work with any animal giving them, alongside their owner, a true peace of mind. I have experience with senior dogs who may need a little more time to walk or some extra help up on the bed. I am able to provide medication (liquid, tablet, topical, ointments, etc.). I am very thorough and detail oriented and am able to provide that same form to both the pet and for the owner in their own individual ways. They say if you love what you do you will never work a day in your life: I have yet to work as I LOVE what I do. I look forward to providing the best environment, form of love, and any other need they may have, in order to provide an exceptional service to you and yours! Animals know when they are truly cared for and yours will note that from the moment we meet and it will shine through to you to see first hand and provide the high level of confidence in me with your loved ones! I am very thankful to have a job that is work from home so I am able to provide 24/7 care, many walks, and endless potty breaks! I have 2 amazing boys of my own: Hercules - French Bulldog and Leo - Old English Bulldog. These boys are my world and needless to say very spoiled. From laying in bed with me, to an endless supply of toys and treats, these boys get birthday parties and much more! I allow the pets to lay in bed, utilize the sofa and chairs, and have free roam of the house. I follow the client's routines to a T as well in order to maintain consistency as consistency is key!

“Thanks, Jenna! I should have mentioned Inga’s poop has been loose the last couple of days. We think it’s a combo of her heartworm/flea tick medication that is now in a combined dose and that we had decreased the amount of rice we give her. Not a good move…we’re upping the amount of rice, again.”

“Isabella did a great job caring for Roxie. She sent a bunch of nice pictures and reported that Roxie got along very well with her dogs, which was great to hear. Isabella is cheerful, flexible and very responsive to my messages both before and during the stay”
“I found a great family to watch my dogs over the weekend! Melissa, Angel and their 2 boys made my pups feel right at home! They sent photos and a video each day of the dogs sleeping, playing, watching TV on the couch with family. Mellisa and Angel are my new go to people with Rover.”
“Our dog is Aurora, a GSD with some serious anxiety and Scott handled it like the pro he is. Everything was on her terms. He has 2 other wonderful Aussie shepherds that helped make Aurora feel comfortable over the 10 days she was in his care. Wonderful amount of land for running and playing and totally willing to put up with her diet. 10/10 recommend his family and will be working with him anytime we need a sitter!”
“Ana was an absolute pleasure to work with! From the very first message she was warm, friendly, and super responsive. Communication was excellent the entire time — she kept us updated with photos and check-ins so we never had to wonder how the pups were doing. Our dogs clearly had a fantastic time with her. They came home happy, relaxed, and tired in the best way. It’s obvious Ana genuinely loves dogs and knows how to make them feel comfortable and cared for. We feel so lucky to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”

“This was the first time I ever left my dig with someone he did not know so I was a little nervous. I first met Brittany as a meet and greet and knew right away that Arlo would be well taken care of. Arlo was treated as one of the family. Brittany sent daily updates of Arlo having fun and I was a little worried he wouldn’t want to leave. Arlo definitely gives Brittany as a 5 paw rating! 🐾🐶”

“Katie provided wonderful care for our dog at her residence while we were away. She took the time to get to know myself and my dog prior to her stay.

About: Hi! I'm Agatha, an animal lover eager to meet new pets:) | grew up around animals my entire life (birds, fish, cats, dogs). As an animal caretaker of many years, l've learned how to instill routine into pets' lives. Pet’s needs always come before my own, and your furry friend will be treated like they are part of the family! I make sure they get enough play time, training, and LOVE. We truly have so much more to learn from animals than they have to learn from us. I’m currently doing freelance work from home so no meetings or anything, your pet will have my full attention ! At most I will be gone for an hour a day to make some food. I live in my family home with 5 huskies who have their own fenced off area in the front side of the house. In the back of the house there's acres of land for your dog to exercise (also fenced off) and have fun. If you need boarding but your dog does not get along with others, l can still provide that as we have a large RV and a little air bnb cabin where I can stay with your pup or cat :)
“Ivy was AMAZING with our new pup, Holly. Holly is a very curious pup and gets into things sometimes but she is a sweetheart. Ivy taught Holly the “stay” command and “paw” during her week stay with Ivy. Our Holly LOVED Ivy’s son and got along with their dog, too, which makes me really haopy”
“Natalia was great with my Cocoa. She treated her like her own, and she sent us tons of lovely pictures. She’s a great sitter and loves being around animals which makes leaving a little easier.”
