“I genuinely do not have words for how amazing Shantell and Jose were with our puppy. So beyond communicative, sent so many pictures and videos and not only through that but once we got home we could tell she had the time of her life. I couldn't recommend Shantell more - if you have the opportunity, BOOK HER. We never once had a single doubt about our dog's safety and happiness. Thank you Shantell and Jose!!!!!”

“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!!”
“This is my second time booking with Gwen. Each time was a phenomenal experience. Gwen was extremely thoughtful, provided frequent updates, and several pictures of my pup's vacation. Always appreciated, thank you!”
“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.”

About: Hi! I'm Shelby, your local dog lover and fashion designer; while caring for your beloved pup, I will give them tips on how they can improve their runway walk and enhance their personal style :) I have experience with, and love, all types of dogs and had a beautiful Golden Retriever of my own for 15 years.

About: while every animal i meet if incredible, i am truly a cat lover. i have had four cats, one currently. i have a special place in my heart for the medically fragile cats. all my cats have had some kind of medical need, so i have all sorts of experience with various medications, etc. (sub-q fluids? been there done that got the t shirt!). if you have a kitty that needs care and love, but especially if you have a kitty that has any kind of special needs, i’m here for you!
“Nola was absolutely wonderful taking care of our two cats while we were overseas for two weeks. She was very reliable, caring, and attentive throughout the entire time we were away. She sent us photos and updates every day, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing the cats were happy and being well taken care of. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and treated them like they were her own. Being away for two weeks can be stressful when you have pets at home, but Nola made the whole experience completely worry free. We came home to two happy, healthy cats and everything in great shape. I would absolutely recommend Nola to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: My family has owned a pet sitting business in Stroudsburg, called IOU Pet Care, for 15+ years.

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, both growing up and as an adult. Right now I share my home with my nine-month-old golden retriever, so I'm fully in the world of puppy energy, training, and keeping curious noses out of trouble. I've also helped my mom raise several litters of Newfoundland puppies. That taught me how to handle big breeds and wiggly newborns, and how much patience and routine young dogs need. I know that every dog has its own personality, and I pay attention to what yours needs to feel comfortable and safe. I work from home, so I'm around throughout the day during the week and on weekends too. Your dog won't spend long stretches alone. Their day can include regular potty breaks, meals on your schedule, and plenty of company. If your dog enjoys being active and is up for it, I love taking dogs hiking on the trails nearby. For dogs who'd rather keep things low-key, relaxed walks and couch time work just as well. I'll follow your dog's usual routine as closely as possible. Your dog stays in my home, where they'll be treated like part of the family. I don't have a fenced yard, so every trip outside is on a leash, with no exceptions. That way your dog is always under my control and never has a chance to wander off. I live in a quiet rural area without busy roads, which makes for calm, low-stress walks. I'll introduce your dog to my golden retriever slowly and supervise their time together. I'm also happy to send photos and updates so you always know how your pup is doing.

Agnes comes back happy and sleepy everytime - it's a win for everyone!”
“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.”

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.

Have experience petsitting for groups of animals, up to 5 long term ( 3 cats, 2 dogs), often 2 dogs at a time, or 2 cats at a time. I also make sure to keep the house clean during and after - checking the mail regularly and keeping it in a bag or box for you on your return. I have worked in Hospitality @ 2 different businesses (spanning 6 years) - and worked in the room cleaning & turnover aspect. Through my petsitting on Rover and TrustedHouseSitters, I always do a thorough cleanup of the house before leaving- removing dust and debris that piles up. Let me know if you have any sensitivities/ prefer certain cleaning products. Look Forward to meeting you & your pets and learning about their needs. I make sure to feed the pets based on what their owner has prescribed and follow the routine! I also try to provide the dogs as much exercise as I can - if this is suggested -- so they get exercise and get to run around outside. For cats, I always clean the litterbox 2x a day - and spend time with them playing or cuddling. Dogs get loads of cuddles, scritches, and backmassages too. If you have cats that are part time outdoor cats and also indoor cats -- I will only let the cats out, while I am at the house 100% of the time and supervising them, as I want to ensure that your pets are safe.
About: * Former Private Nanny Caring for Children and Pets ( decades of experience) * Training and Caring for Dogs, including my own dogs. * Pre-school teacher who has summers off, convenient care for vacationers. * Physically Fit, High Energy and able to be the alpha in any canine situation. I am currently off of work for the summer, as I am a teacher. I am available most days in summer, and weekends when school resumes. I may also be available in the after-school hours, depending on my teaching schedule. I have a fenced in yard for our dog. We feed her a mix of homemade dog food and raw food. She is groomed nightly and professionally once every 6 weeks. We make it a point to play with her, take her for long walks, and running at the park. Her care is our priority, as she is a member of our family.
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!

“Wonderful people with hearts of gold! They cared for our dog like he was their own—he had an incredible time filled with long walks, playful moments, and lots of love. We couldn’t have asked for better care.”
“Rochelle is amazing! She sent me pics of my dog, allowed me to bring my pup earlier than scheduled. Even helped her with feeding properly. My puppy absolutely loved her stay and passed out for hours after I picked her up. Thank you Rochelle!”
“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.”
“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.”
“I genuinely do not have words for how amazing Shantell and Jose were with our puppy. So beyond communicative, sent so many pictures and videos and not only through that but once we got home we could tell she had the time of her life. I couldn't recommend Shantell more - if you have the opportunity, BOOK HER. We never once had a single doubt about our dog's safety and happiness. Thank you Shantell and Jose!!!!!”
“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!”
“We were a little nervous since we’d never used Rover before, but everything went so smoothly. Owen & Emily took great care of our precious girl overnight, sent us updates, and made us feel completely at ease.”
“Scott continues to do an amazing job as a dog sitter for our dog Odysseus. Our dog has surgery and he is more anxious now. I was nervous about him staying someplace overnight again but we trust Scott and again he did not disappoint. He is so caring about animals in general. Shows so much compassion and love. Honestly, if you need a sitter or care in the area for your pets Scott is it! Thank you so much Scott!”
“I was super nervous about leaving my dogs with someone else for the first time and I’m so grateful for Adriana! She sent me photos throughout the day each day and updated me multiple times a day with how they were doing. She has the perfect backyard for dogs and my puppies made themselves right at home with her family! I highly recommend!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Dawn and my dog Milo’s 8 day stay. First off he’s young, just shy of 4 months, so we had concerns that he’d be a handful for anyone. Dawn’s love for dogs and in depth knowledge is clear in every interaction. Milo came back so well behaved it was amazing. Each day we were away we got multiple pictures detailing his playtime with the other dogs and her adorable sons. She continuously made us feel confident in our decision to leave Milo. I would leave Milo again without hesitation. She’s a pro with heart. Thanks again Dawn!!”
“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!”
“Laura was great with our dog Shadow. He has anxiety and she was very patient with him. She kept us up to date on how he was doing. We definitely will be using her as our dog sitter in the future.”
“Seb was great with Prince. He kept me updated and took plenty of pictures. He was very patient with Prince too since he still has accidents every now and again. I would absolutely book with Seb again!”
“Cristel is amazing. She was responsive, wanted to do a video call to understand Teddy’s needs, and sent several updates for his one night stay with her in preparation for a much longer stay later this month. We are very happy to have found her because we can tell she really enjoys caring for others’ pets.”
