“Christine was wonderful, caring towards my dog Sebastian, and very responsive. Her home is warm and welcoming, and Sebastian came home happy and wiped out from his adventures :)”
“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! :)”
“Great experience for my Dude! He was very well taken care of. She was mindful of his skin condition and even attempted to bath him even when she was not asked too. Pictures were great especially the one with cinderellas castle in the background. Thank you Monica and family.”
“We were in a bind and Leila stepped up to help us out. We were super nervous to leave our dog with a stranger but it wound up being a great decision. She was excellebt with our old guy and she sent us photos and kept in touch. Will be booking again.”
“Thank you Maria you are awesome, so friendly and easy to work with. Something came up and we had to leave Lucy with her for another 6 hours and she was so nice to accept that and I’m sure that Lucy was so happy for staying with her. Thanks again”
“Heaven is an absolute amazing individual. She is so kind and caring to people and animals. I have a big dog who is extremely hyper and he loved her. Normally I worry about him and I honestly didn’t have one worry. That’s how comfortable she made me feel throughout this whole process. I will 100% use her services again. I definitely recommend her!!!! Thank you Heaven for being so amazing with Grizzly.”
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.
“Absolutely the most phenomenal, amazing & loving service you could ever get for your fur babies. Both my kitties stayed for a week & every day I woke up to videos of them and was updated throughout the day. Vanessa & Virlyn are so attentive and so sweet, they will absolutely be seeing my cats & I again. 1000/10 would definitely recommend!!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“If you would like a SUPER dog sitter for your fur baby, Shantel is your answer! She was a wonderful communicator during pre-care set up and all thru our fur baby's stay. (Although she did spoil him just a bit)! There is no question in our family that she will be the only person we request in the future if we are traveling in her area. We hope to see her in Sept and next summer again! THANKS to you Shontel and Jose for being Super awesome to our dog Zero. He misses you both!”
“Alexandra was great and we felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her for a long weekend. She has a beautiful property where she took our dog out for daily hikes. Great communication throughout her visit and we received regular photos. Highly recommend!”
“We are so thrilled with Emily! With how nervous our dog is, he warmed up immediately to her and even started to come out of his shell so soon. Emily is very thoughtful and courteous with how much she updates us. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Michelle was awesome!! Our original boarding plans fell through last minute (not through Rover!) and I reached out to Michelle on the Thursday before Labor Day weeekend. :( She was able to accommodate our overnight requests and walked me through everything I needed to know. She sent picture updates a few times a day while we were away, which put this nervous dog mom’s fears to rest. :) I could not be more pleased with our pups stay. He came home exhausted and clean!! She treated him like part of her family. Thanks Michelle!!!”

“Jennifer did not just come over and feed my kitties, she bonded with them my giving extra attention, playtime, and love. We came home to two happy kitty cats and could not be more grateful for what she did as it eased our anxiety and concerns. We will definitely rebook for Jennifer all events and future vacations due to the compassion she exhibited. Thank you for all you did/do.”
“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!!”

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!

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.

“Liddy always has a nice time visiting with Alexandra. She was wagging her tail and happy when we arrived and had just woken up from a nap in front of the fire when we arrived to pick her up. Liddy will be back again to stay with Alexandra the next time we are in the Poconos.”
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.

“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”
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.
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.
“We had a great experience with Rochelle! She was so nice and sent many videos of our girl throughout the day! Our mind was at ease know she was comfortable with her daycare!”
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.
“My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the care Joann and Angelina provided for Minnie! From the moment we met, I knew my Minnie would be in good hands. She sent regular updates and photos, which made me feel so reassured. My Minnie came back home happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. Joann’s attention to detail and genuine love for animals really showed. Highly recommend and will definitely book again! Thank you for treating Minnie like family! She misses Remi already !!!!”
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.
“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. She kept in touch with me throughout the two days, and sent me the cutest pictures of him. He truly loves her. We were able to enjoy our time at Wolf Lodge without any worries about our baby. Thank you!!! xoxo”

“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!”

“Kristin helped me through a tough time when my dog was suffering with separation anxiety. She was very sweet, giving her walks, lots of love and playing with her. She sent me lots of updates and even gave her meds when she needed them. It was so reassuring that I didn't stress like I have in the past. So basically she gave me the peace of mind I needed to do my job! Thank you Kristen! Five stars!”

About: I am willing to come to your home to care for any type pet - days, evenings and/or overnights in your home. I have had many different animals. I love taking dogs on walks/hikes, giving us both excercise. I have even taken a cat out on a leash for a client. I don't believe in punishment for undesireable behavior. They need positive re-enforcement. I have also fostered dogs. I have a love of all animals and tend to treat them like my "children. Pets need and want lots of care and attention which I love to give them. I enjoy taking animals on walks to give them the exercise they need as well as playing with them. No matter what your routine is you must fit you pet(s) into everything you do as they are also part of the family and deserve the care you give to your family members and children. I currently cannot take more pets into my home, but I will gladly come to you. In my clients home they get treated like royalty and I will also care for them the exact way my clients ask, especially for a special needs pet.
“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 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!
“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 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!(:

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.
“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.”

“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! :)”
“Heaven is an absolute amazing individual. She is so kind and caring to people and animals. I have a big dog who is extremely hyper and he loved her. Normally I worry about him and I honestly didn’t have one worry. That’s how comfortable she made me feel throughout this whole process. I will 100% use her services again. I definitely recommend her!!!! Thank you Heaven for being so amazing with Grizzly.”
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.
“Absolutely the most phenomenal, amazing & loving service you could ever get for your fur babies. Both my kitties stayed for a week & every day I woke up to videos of them and was updated throughout the day. Vanessa & Virlyn are so attentive and so sweet, they will absolutely be seeing my cats & I again. 1000/10 would definitely recommend!!!”
“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.”
“If you would like a SUPER dog sitter for your fur baby, Shantel is your answer! She was a wonderful communicator during pre-care set up and all thru our fur baby's stay. (Although she did spoil him just a bit)! There is no question in our family that she will be the only person we request in the future if we are traveling in her area. We hope to see her in Sept and next summer again! THANKS to you Shontel and Jose for being Super awesome to our dog Zero. He misses you both!”
“Alexandra was great and we felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her for a long weekend. She has a beautiful property where she took our dog out for daily hikes. Great communication throughout her visit and we received regular photos. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Michelle was awesome!! Our original boarding plans fell through last minute (not through Rover!) and I reached out to Michelle on the Thursday before Labor Day weeekend. :( She was able to accommodate our overnight requests and walked me through everything I needed to know. She sent picture updates a few times a day while we were away, which put this nervous dog mom’s fears to rest. :) I could not be more pleased with our pups stay. He came home exhausted and clean!! She treated him like part of her family. Thanks Michelle!!!”
“My pup came home happy and tired!!! Ana was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout the whole process and made sure to send me a picture of my girl every day!! I would absolutely bring her back and recommend Ana to anyone!!!”
“We left our boy with Cristel for 4 nights when we had to go out of town. She kept us updated with photos and videos at different times throughout the days to make sure we knew he was being taken care of. Baxter seemed relaxed and content when we picked him up. Would be glad to use Cristel again. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Astrid took wonderful care of our Malley! She kept us informed all week and sent lots of pictures. She made Malley as comfortable as possible and treated her like her own. We will definitely be hiring Astrid again!”
“Marleny was AWESOME! We met with her at her home with our pup before we committed to using her. Our puppy, after a little apprehension, almost immediately ran and played with her dogs and we had a hard time getting him to leave......typical child LOL. She was flexible with the date that we needed her for and we were much appreciative. She sent pics or videos nearly everyday and also continued him on some meds he was finishing at the time.”
“Stefi took great care of my dog, was accommodating of her raw diet, sent pictures, and gave regular updates. She was communicative and very flexible when my trip was unexpectedly extended and even worked with my later pickup time. The only thing I’d suggest is confirming any requirements (like rabies certificates) earlier in the process to avoid last-minute stress. Overall, very very thankful for her help and would book again.”
“My dog, Jaxon, had a great time staying with Laura. She communicated with us and sent us pictures of him daily on how he was doing. This gave us peace of mind while we were away from him. There is no doubt that we will put Jaxon under her care again for our future trips.”
“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!”
