“Jahada and Heaven were excellent with my baby Cloud. I was afraid I wouldn’t find anyone on such a short notice that my dog would get to know and trust so easily. He has been attacked by other dogs in the past and hurt by people so I was worried he wouldn’t like any new people but boy was I wrong! He loved being at their house and got to run around outside and got yummy healthy treats ? I’ll definitely be using them in the future ❤️”
“Maria was very kind to my senior dog. Very accommodating! Quick response, and updated me on how my pup was doing. It was so nice to know that Jasmine was taken care of while I was away. Thank you!!”
“This was last minute! I contacted here to meet the night before. And after we met we were able to drop our Luna the next day , while we went to camelback She was really good with our dog and sent videos and pics throughout the day. Definitely would recommend on your next visit near the poconos.”
“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.”
“Charlie had so much with Jack and Joanne that he came home and crashed for four hours straight. He was so happy when we arrived, he snuck up behind Jack, tapped him with his front paws, and licked him. He doesn't even do that to me. Thanks so much!”
“Bodhi loved staying with Melissa and Angel! He was well taken care of and had a lot of fun with their son and the other dogs they were watching. I'd definitely reach out to them again to watch him.”
“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”
“Alexandra was super great to leave Blue with! I was reassured throughout my trip that Blue was in safe hands and it looked like she had the best time. This was a very last minute booking too so I am very grateful that Alexandra was able to take Blue in for the week!”
“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.”
“Abner was great! We just moved to the state and had no clue where to start with a dog sitter, but we felt comfortable leaving our pup with Abner very quickly. Very kind, and he clearly loves dogs. Our girl is pretty nervous but he took the time to make sure she was comfortable and she ended up having a great time.”
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.
“Jennifer and Jon were fantastic!! Our 8 month old King Charles Spaniel was taken care of and treated like family. We were sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend and were kept updated about Maisy’s activities. It was wonderful to go away for the weekend and have no worries that our puppy was in great hands. We will definitely have our precious puppy stay with them again!! We give Jennifer and Jon our highest recommendation without reservation!!”
“Seb and his wife were so kind and accommodating to our pups. They provided many updates and responded very quickly. Thank you so much!!! Will definitely book again when staying in the area!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Adriana take care of my 5-month-old pit bull mix, and I can't recommend her enough! From the moment we met, she showed genuine love and care for my pup. She took the time to understand his needs and habits, ensuring he felt comfortable and safe while I was away. Adriana kept me updated with messages and photos, which really eased my worries. It was clear that my dog was having a great time with her! She engaged him in playtime, took him on walks, and even made sure he was fed on his regular schedule. I could see how much she truly enjoys spending time with dogs, and it gave me peace of mind knowing my furry friend was in such capable hands. If you're looking for someone to watch your pets, Adriana is the perfect choice!”
“This is the second time my little Ellie has stayed with Grace and I swear Ellie lives her best life there!! Grace keeps me updated in how she is doing with pics and texts!! I will definitely being booking with Grace in the future!!”
“Joann and Angelina were amazing with our dog! My Sully is a very anxious pup and attached to his humans. This makes it hard to leave him with someone new. Joann and Angelina made this difficult thing to do so much easier! Joann texted me throughout the day and even sent me some pictures to assure me that he was okay. Oh and their dog Remi is such a sweet boy and loves people and was so good with accepting my dog as well. Our day went longer than we expected and Joann and Angelina were willing to help out longer than expected. I am so thankful to them for taking care of my dog and will definitely book with them again when needed.”
“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!”

“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.”
“Wonderful! Chester is a nervous kitten with new people, and this was the first time for us leaving him with someone else, but they made both of us feel so much better about it. Rochelle was responsive right away and we chatted about the booking. Vanessa (her mom) stopped by that evening for a meet and greet to see Chester and talk a bit about his routines. She sent us pictures and videos of Chester during his stay and it was great to see him getting acclimated and exploring the new space even though we couldn't be there. 100% recommend them for future trips!”
“Jen was an outstanding cat sitter. She accepted my last minute request and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my cat in her care. My cat requires multiple medications throughout the day, and she handled everything flawlessly. She was kind, attentive, and even took the initiative to research my cat’s condition to better understand his needs. Coming home to a clean house and litter box was so nice after a long day of travel. I couldn’t have asked for better care—highly recommended!”
“Virlyn was very sweet and patient with my senior! I can tell he felt comfortable with her almost immediately. She took great care of Oliver during her visits and I’m so happy I was able to find someone close for when we have to step away. Would definitely recommend!”
“Grace was amazing! gentle and caring with our cats! We highly recommend Grace. She was on time, reliable and easy to communicate with. Everything was clean after, they were happy. Thank you so much!”
“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!”
“Bruna was absolutely amazing with my puppy, Kaia. From the start, she really took the time to listen and understand Kaia’s needs, and it showed in how comfortable and happy Kaia was in her care. Kaia can be pretty wary of new people, so I was a little nervous at first, but she warmed up to Bruna so quickly, even though they had only met once before at the meet and greet. That says a lot about Bruna’s calm and patient approach. Throughout the entire experience, it was clear that Bruna genuinely cared and paid close attention to what Kaia needed. I could tell Kaia felt safe and well cared for, which gave me so much peace of mind (I was out of town for 1 week). I would absolutely trust her again, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and attentive sitter.”
About: I have had friends with cats my entire life and have helped take care of them. I used to consider myself a dog person but now I know that I love dogs and cats equally! Cats are independent and have their own boundaries, which I greatly respect. I know some people don't like cats for that reason. I've fed, snuggled, played with, and cleaned the litter boxes of kitties many a time. Hearing a cat purr is one of my joys in life. Whatever your cat needs, I will be happy to provide!
“We always appreciate how helpful Jahada is and how wonderfully she takes care of our pets while we’re away. Our cat warmed up to her quickly and we loved all the photos. Thank you again!”
“Thank you Tara! You are incredible: reliable, timely, and communicative. Our cats looked healthy and fluffy when we returned after a month. It was the longest we have ever been gone, and you made it work out well for all of us. Thank you. Thank you.”
About: My entire life I have had a passion for all animals. Growing up I always had dogs. They were mainly large gentle giants. Great Dane, mastiff, newfoundland, boxer, English bulldog, shitzu, Maltese. Each and every one had their own beautiful personality and I clung to every single one. I've been dogsitting for close friends and just word of mouth. I would absolutely love to do more with pets and gain more experience with animals. Currently I have a 1 year old high energy boxer and a 5 year old cat who thinks he is a dog. The dogs I am watching go on walks, hang out in their yard, on cold days i will play with them inside or just sit with them to be company. They get treats for being good boys and girls.
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: 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!
“Sharon was great and sent me some awesome pictures! She loves animals... ALL kinds and spent time with our Mia. We had done a meet & greet and my husband and I fell in love with Sharon.

We hope to start planning a few more 2 night trips and a week's vacation now that we have someone we can trust and gives us peace while we are away! Thank you so much Sharon”

“What a gift! Very organized and very knowledgeable. She eased my fears with her constant videos. Excellent communicator and responds almost immediately. You can immediately tell that she has been working with pets and pet owners for a while. My dog was scard at first...by day 2...her tail was wagging high in the air and I knew she was ok. When we got home...she was the same bubbly dog I knew. Highly recommend”
“Getting better, my dogs, not the sitter. Our dogs are not used to being away from us or from home. We are prepping them for a weekend away. They did better today. They like Jahada and go with her easily, it's my mama dog who is still a little anxious. She will just pant though. Not exhibiting any other bad behaviors. She will use the bathroom while with Jahada, both poop and pee, which is fantastic because if she were to feel completely uneasy, she wouldn't do either. We're about to attempt an overnight stay! Thanks Jahada.”
“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😊”
“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!”
“Maria and her husband watched our pup while we went to great wolf lodge for the day ave it worked out perfect! They were located close by and were easy to work with seeing we had to pick up earlier than expected. Would recommend to anyone who needs someone to watch their pup.”
“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”
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: 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.

“We canceled with Connie because of change of plans but offered to pay for half the chargers, but she refused saying that she wouldn’t accept any money if she didn’t perform the services. We look forward to using Connie in the future. She was very easy to deal with and very kind. Sure, she would’ve taken really good care of Cody.”

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.
About: You can rely on me to take care of your pet because I love animals. I’ve owned animals for as long as I can remember. I have owned cats, dogs, birds, and have loved them all. I don't take the bond that someone can have with an animal lightly; I will pay extra close attention to every animal I care for. Your dog likes to eat stuff off the floor? Got it. I always have my eyes open to minor details. I currently own one cat, who is 2 years old and I have been taking care of her since she was around 4-6 weeks old. I also have a puppy who I’ve been taking care of since she was 3 months old. I have experience with younger and older animals. My schedule is very flexible. Im usually open to any request that comes my way, since I’m currently home full-time. I have a lot of space in my home (3 bedrooms), and your pets are allowed on the furniture! I enjoy going on long walks, and I live in the perfect neighborhood for doggies to explore and have fun with me (Williamsburg)! I’m usually home full time so I can watch your pet 24/7. I usually keep them in my room with me and we chill together and then go outside around every 4 hours! There are several fenced areas in my neighborhood where I can put your dog to run and play with my dog! There are also dog parks.
About: I have cared for all kinds of animals, but predominantly dogs and cats. I’ve nannied for years and cared for family pets with love. Dogs and cats are really God’s gift to humans! I work from home and I can also take my laptop with me anywhere in a pinch, and I know I also will have plenty of breaks through the day to care for the pups or cats! I live in an apartment where animas are welcome on the cozy sofa for lots of snuggles. Walks and dog park could be a good option or just potty trips outside and relaxing indoors with some walks in between. And play!

I am a mother of a younger boy who goes to school. I’m always up at 8 a.m. every morning to put my pups out to use the bath. When I have other people pups they get most of my attention. I have an open yard however, I have a rope on my back porch and the front of my house that I ties the pups on and they are free to roam as they please. They go out three times a day. And when the weather is nice they get to enjoy the weather. However, I don’t put the dogs to interact with each other unless I have help.
About: I'm a caring individual who genuinely loves dogs. I have owned dogs for over 10 years of my life with breeds ranging from golden retrievers, to border collies, to a Maltese mix. I have done clicker-training and was told that I was a natural by the trainer I worked with. I find the work of understanding animal behavior to be incredibly interesting and rewarding. I am an honest and kind person with the desire to write books and attend grad school in order to become a professor. I put a lot of time and care into my work and I think that this type of job is perfect for me! I'm a compassionate, scholarly, book loving - introvert type person. I am also very active: running, hiking, and working out are some of my necessary activities.
“Jahada has been great with my 70lb mixed-breed dog. She takes him regularly for a 30 minute walk and is always great with communication and very punctual. My dog is always happy to see her. She is able to handle him well and it's great to know my dog is getting a positive interaction and good exercise with her.”
About: I've lived with dogs of different breeds and sizes and ages my entire life. My favorite thing is to make them feel loved by giving them the care they deserve. I am a college student trying to discover what my passion is. I love dogs and want to expose myself to this field of experience. As a dog lover, I understand an owner's concern for their dog's safety and happiness. My goal is to alleviate these concerns and to ensure their dog is well taken care of so they can take care of their obligation without stress over their pets.
“Grace was so wonderful - she took such great care of our pup - played with her and took her on a long walk. We love that we were updated with so many cute photos and a video of them playing. She was also very accommodating of our last minute changes. Would absolutely hire again!”
About: I enjoy training dogs I volunteer at an animal shelter I’ve cared for puppies and older dogs. I currently have a husky myself I love a dog that I can give treats to or play tug with I work part time at the moment and I don’t go into work until afternoon so I’m free in the mornings so I could easily fit a few walks in for your pup I have a secure home by a lake with many hiking trails my family is also great with animals and we will make sure your dog is safe
“Tara was great with our dog, Daisy. She definitely came in clutch since we needed someone to walk Daisy last minute on New Years Eve. She was professional and gave Daisy lots of love. 10/10 would recommend and hire her again. She did everything I asked and was super sweet. If you are on the fence, you will be pleasantly surprised, this is your sign to book with Tara.”
About: Taking care of your pet, as if you were taking care of my one year old, beagle mix puppy that I do have at home! Currently I have a very easy, open and flexible schedule. You and yours will be my #1 priority. My routine always works around you, and your furry friend. Depending on what services are needed, I am very open for different service options. I have no problem crating animals if needed/wanted. Treat/feed options as well.
About: I love dogs so much that I adopted a puppy for my dog, who I could tell wanted a friend. I am known to spend all day with my dogs taking them out on doggie dates. We often visit others at the pet store or at the dog park. My older dog loves to run and loves to meet other dogs. My youngest is an adventurer. I have been in a dog-friendly home since I was 9. Cared for my great grandmother at an early age and my first dog as well. I believe that paying attention to your dog is one way to learn from them about what they need. So you can give them the life they can love. Training-wise, I believe in positive reinforcement and the repetition of rewarding good behavior. I work full-time at home M-F, off weekends. My fianceé is home during the afternoon (and will be after COVID) and nights. His work schedule is mornings, off M-W. This makes us uniquely flexible to meet your needs. Our house is a one-story. So you do not need to worry about stairs. We live in a wooded community away from heavy traffic. We have dog runners, which allow the dog to roam outside at his or her own pace while supervised. We live near a dog park that is well-maintained and has separated fences for small or large size dogs. We have a puppy called Dudley and an adult dog named Duke at home that are very friendly and well socilaized. Dudley's favorite game is tug of war. Duke loves to run, meet dog buddies, and eat his bones.

“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!”
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.

“Great job. Will definitely ask her to come again. She was great with the dogs. So important to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone trusted and I think Sharon fits the bill”
“Shelby is great! I'm thankful we were able to connect. Things have been very hectic in our world and having someone we can trust walk our very bouncy 80lb puppy has been unbelievably helpful! Shelby asked some good questions about our pup before starting out and I trust her to take good care of Agnes while on their walks. Agnes comes back happy and sleepy everytime - it's a win for everyone!”

“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.”

“Jahada and Heaven were excellent with my baby Cloud. I was afraid I wouldn’t find anyone on such a short notice that my dog would get to know and trust so easily. He has been attacked by other dogs in the past and hurt by people so I was worried he wouldn’t like any new people but boy was I wrong! He loved being at their house and got to run around outside and got yummy healthy treats ? I’ll definitely be using them in the future ❤️”
“This was last minute! I contacted here to meet the night before. And after we met we were able to drop our Luna the next day , while we went to camelback She was really good with our dog and sent videos and pics throughout the day. Definitely would recommend on your next visit near the poconos.”
“Charlie had so much with Jack and Joanne that he came home and crashed for four hours straight. He was so happy when we arrived, he snuck up behind Jack, tapped him with his front paws, and licked him. He doesn't even do that to me. Thanks so much!”
“Bodhi loved staying with Melissa and Angel! He was well taken care of and had a lot of fun with their son and the other dogs they were watching. I'd definitely reach out to them again to watch him.”
“Alexandra was super great to leave Blue with! I was reassured throughout my trip that Blue was in safe hands and it looked like she had the best time. This was a very last minute booking too so I am very grateful that Alexandra was able to take Blue in for the week!”
“Abner was great! We just moved to the state and had no clue where to start with a dog sitter, but we felt comfortable leaving our pup with Abner very quickly. Very kind, and he clearly loves dogs. Our girl is pretty nervous but he took the time to make sure she was comfortable and she ended up having a great time.”
“Michelle and her husband were absolutely amazing with my fur baby Titan. They catered to his needs and gave him his individual time to get to learn his likes and dislikes even with other fur babies there. They kept me updated the entire time. There is more than enough space for the animals to run free. My Titan can be a bit much sometimes with his high energy levels but they were patient with him. I would absolutely let Titan stay with Michelle again. Thank you guys!”
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.
“Seb and his wife were so kind and accommodating to our pups. They provided many updates and responded very quickly. Thank you so much!!! Will definitely book again when staying in the area!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Adriana take care of my 5-month-old pit bull mix, and I can't recommend her enough! From the moment we met, she showed genuine love and care for my pup. She took the time to understand his needs and habits, ensuring he felt comfortable and safe while I was away. Adriana kept me updated with messages and photos, which really eased my worries. It was clear that my dog was having a great time with her! She engaged him in playtime, took him on walks, and even made sure he was fed on his regular schedule. I could see how much she truly enjoys spending time with dogs, and it gave me peace of mind knowing my furry friend was in such capable hands. If you're looking for someone to watch your pets, Adriana is the perfect choice!”
“Cristel has watched my Bella twice now while we take day trips up in the Poconos. She is always prompt with replies and sends updates multiple times during a stay. Highly recommend and will definitely book her again!”
“Working with Astrid was such a wonderful experience! She took such great care of our dog, Toby! This has been our BEST Rover experience ever. She communicated frequently with photos and pictures. I’m pretty sure our dog didn’t even miss us while under her care! We will definitely use her again! Thanks Astrid!”
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.
“Nefertari was great with my dog Beni! He has separation anxiety but she took great care of him and he was happy and healthy when I picked him up. I think he was sad to leave his new friend Sky (her dog) as they got along great. She sent updates and walked him frequently even though he’s not great on a leash. Would definitely recommend!”
“Julie took excellent care of my Otis. She would send updates from time to time and i never felt worried about Otis while away on vacation. I would re-book w Julie if I needed someone to take care of Otis.”
