“Thank you so much for caring for Hershey. We enjoyed seeing the photos and videos. I forgot her bowls and they had some available 🙌🏼 I appreciate it. Thank you !”
“Leila was a great host for Tye. He enjoyed his stay. Very welcoming and friendly and with this being my first time Leila made my experience a good one and took away all the anxiety I had. I would definitely recommend Leila.”
“Monica was amazing! She was so flexible with us and our two cats. She housed them for a night and then when we couldn't have them at our hotel took them back in for 4 days without question. They returned to us happy and healthy! She has a great space and sent us pictures of our boys where they would settle for the evening. Monica was also very responsive immediately if we had questions and with pick up drop off times. Definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Rochelle was AWESOME!!! Home away from Home, for MyMann!! Highly recommend her services....We left MyMann in her care for 4 days, we received daily photos and updates, very appreciated. Thank you for your love and care for MyMann!”
“This was my first time taking my frenchies to a dog sitter - I was so nervous! Heaven was absolutely amazing. She greeted us warmly, stayed in touch for the 2 days she had them, and made sure all of their needs were met. The dogs slept for an entire day after they came home, they were so played out. I will absolutely book again in the future!”
“Elaine was amazing! She kept me updated on Oreo’s care. She sent me photos. I felt happy to know that my dog was in great hands. Also, she had open availability. Which is great when you plan last minute trips. Highly recommend!!!”
“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!”
“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”
“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 :)”
“Once again Emily has taken great care of our baby! My dog was happy, relaxed and clean when I brought him home, which really shows how comfortable and safe he felt with her. Thank you!!”
“Alexandra provided just what we needed for our pup Liddy. We needed a 24 hour sitter close to our daughter’s house who was reliable and provided a warm and loving stay for Liddy. They had a nice time hanging out and Alexandra took excellent care of Liddy. We hope to have Liddy stay with Alexandra again when we visit my daughter (who has a territorial pup and doesn’t like dog visitors).”
“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!”
“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: 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!
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.
“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!”
“Alexandra is a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of our cats!! When we first met Alexandra we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our pets! When we came home after vacation, our pets were relaxed and happy. She was easy to communicate with, leave detailed messages on the app everyday. Thank you so much!!”
“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❣️”
“Laurie was attentive, responsive, and pleasant in all our dealings. She was very easy to speak with and our cat, April, seemed to respond to her immediately. Without question, would definitely recommend as well as use her services in the future. Thanks for a great job.”
“Melissa and Angel were great with Meeka , she sent me pictures and videos through the weekend. Meeka looked very happy and relaxed at their house. We will definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone”

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've taken care of cats for the past 2-3 years now and really appreciate their gentle elegant style and adorable ways of getting people to give them what they want. When I cat sit: • I clean the litter box at least 2x a day • make sure to sweep up & vacuum after the catsit • Spend a lot of the day at the house with the cat(s) & animals - playing with them and living within the same space. • I Enjoy getting to play with them and watch them interact with the other animals, chase flying things, their fascination with wildlife critters. • HAVE petsat for people who have only indoor cats & outdoor-indoor cats. • Always make sure animals are inside the house and everything is tied up - if I leave the house for a few hours.

“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.”

It was my first time using Rover, and was really nervous in general, but Alexandra handled it all wih well elegance and grace. She’s the best! Ragnar came back happy and loved! Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Awesome!!! Dasher made a new best friend! On our second day, he was wagging his tail and super excited as we drove up her driveway. He had a second home.

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.

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!

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.

“Alex was very responsive and flexible. She was able to meet and talk to me and my bf before taking our French Bulldog, Chicken, for a walk. It was very reassuring to talk to Alex first and I feel much more reassured that she'll be taking care of Chicken when I go on my trip!”
About: My Roomate and I have been working with dogs our whole lives. We both work full time at doggy daycares as managers. I also have experienced in working with farm animals as well. We want to eventually open our own doggy daycare and thought that this was the best way to get started. We have experience in bathing, nail trimming, administration of medication and supervising large play groups between 5 to 60 dogs by ourselves. Including dogs of all sizes and temperaments. We have 2 dogs and a cat of our own. We take pride in providing a sweet loving environment for every dog and making sure every dog receives the needs personalized to them. We would love to meet your fur babies and give them a fun time to enjoy their vacation just as much as you enjoy yours. We look forward to hearing from all of you. We are available for drop ins, walks and overnight boarding in our home from Friday nights to Tuesday mornings. During the time that your pet is with us we will be home with them 95% of the time to make sure they get the love and attention that they deserve. We give every dog 24/7 attention and activities that suit every dog based on their own needs. We supervise any group play with dogs to make sure of everyone’s safety.

“Thank you so much for caring for Hershey. We enjoyed seeing the photos and videos. I forgot her bowls and they had some available 🙌🏼 I appreciate it. Thank you !”
“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.”
“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.”
“Rochelle was AWESOME!!! Home away from Home, for MyMann!! Highly recommend her services....We left MyMann in her care for 4 days, we received daily photos and updates, very appreciated. Thank you for your love and care for MyMann!”
“This was my first time taking my frenchies to a dog sitter - I was so nervous! Heaven was absolutely amazing. She greeted us warmly, stayed in touch for the 2 days she had them, and made sure all of their needs were met. The dogs slept for an entire day after they came home, they were so played out. I will absolutely book 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”
“Alexandra provided just what we needed for our pup Liddy. We needed a 24 hour sitter close to our daughter’s house who was reliable and provided a warm and loving stay for Liddy. They had a nice time hanging out and Alexandra took excellent care of Liddy. We hope to have Liddy stay with Alexandra again when we visit my daughter (who has a territorial pup and doesn’t like dog visitors).”
“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!”

It was clear our dog bonded with her and her daughter when we picked him up. Tara is very warm and friendly with a very big heart for others. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Parcha came home pooped from all the fun she had at Dawn’s. Jasper, Dawn’s 5 month old dog and Parcha played day and night. Dawn’s boys did not want Parcha to leave. It’s a no brainer when I need someone to care for Parcha.”
“Jack and Joanne were absolutely wonderful to our 1 year old Weimaraner. Their property is expansive and perfect for a dog who requires a great deal of exercise. I could tell how much they love and care for animals. I highly recommend these wonderful, trustworthy people. We were updated daily with photos and videos of our boy!”
“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.”
