“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 !”
“Heaven was a great sitter for our pup Zara! Our original Rover sitter had a last minute cancelation and Heaven stepped in with a days notice. Would highly recommend!”
“Leila and her two kids did a great job taking care of my 7 year old Yorkie x Bichon Frise baby Toto. I know that Toto was a bit of a handful since she missed her mom while she was staying with Leila for 2 nights. Leila even gave her a bath when it was needed. Would definitely recommend.”
“Monica was an awesome sitter for my mahina. She worked with my last minute booking, and was flexible when I needed an extension. I adored the pictures she sent us while I was away. I whole heartedly recommend Ms. Monica as a 5 star sitter.”
“Maria and her family treated my dog like family. We got tons of pictures that kept our minds at ease!! Their house was very clean and full of love we will definitely use Maria again whenever we travel!!!! Her reviews speak for themselves you won't be anxious leaving your puppy with this family!”
“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!!”
“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!!!!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“We could not have been happier with the care our miniature poodle received while staying with Sharon for one week. She was an outstanding caregiver for our dog while accommodating our needs, and made the entire process stress-free. Sharon is an exceptional communicator. She gave us daily updates with messages, photos and videos so that we always knew how our dog was doing and within the first day or two we could see he was content and happy. She was astute in reading the nuances of our dog's behavior around food, treats, medication, and playing, and adjusted her responses accordingly. It was evident she treated our pet like part of her family - her nurturing, patient nature and genuine love for animals really showed. Even her family got involved, and it was comforting to know our dog was pampered by everyone. We returned home after our vacation to a happy and relaxed dog who had clearly received excellent care. We recommend Sharon without reservation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring and reliable caregiver for their dog.”
“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!!!”
“Michelle did an outstanding job looking after and taking care of my little Java. Lots of pictures and updates throughout the days which made me smile and know Java was very happy. I will without a doubt use Michelle in the future when I vacation. Thank you Michelle!!”
“Jazmine (and her boyfriend Norman) took wonderful care of our 12-year-old black Lab, Judy, who is a cancer survivor and a bit particular—sweet, but needy and not a fan of other dogs. Jazmine cared for her in her home, made sure she had her morning medicine, and sent us daily updates with snuggle photos that made us feel completely at ease. Judy was clearly loved and beautifully looked after. Warm, professional, and trustworthy—highly recommend.”

“Repeat customer here. Gwen was a huge help with my 16 year old cat Polly. While away, we got a notification that our power went out. It was easy to get in touch with Gwen through the Rover App to discuss the situation. She made sure Polly was safe and secure during the outage and even asked if there was anything else she could do for us during her drop in visit. I’m so glad that Gwen was available to watch Polly while we were away; I could rest assured that Polly was in good hands.”

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.
“Loved Alisha! She came before to meet Spitfire and do a quick walk through. She was very thorough and detailed with her updates. I really felt at ease not being home knowing my baby was in good hands with Alisha.”
“Autumn did a great job! She gave attention to all 5 cats, fed them and played with them. One cat needed a pill and the other an insulin injection. She did great and we would have her sit for us again!”

About: Hi! I’m Karina, a lifelong animal lover and certified veterinary technician with professional training from SUNY Delhi. I specialize in providing calm, attentive, and knowledgeable care for cats of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. Growing up surrounded by multiple dogs, cats, and small animals, I’ve always been deeply comfortable caring for pets in busy, multi-animal households. Today, I have three cats of my own, so I truly understand feline behavior, routines, and the importance of keeping cats comfortable in their own environment while their owners are away. My cats are my babies and I know feeding routines, medications, playtime, etc. is VERY particular for some cat families and I myself am particular when it comes to my cats and their caretaking. My veterinary background gives me experience with health monitoring, medication administration, and recognizing when something doesn’t seem right. I focus on creating an stress-free experience for your cat while maintaining their normal routine, whether that means feeding, litter care, playtime, companionship, or quiet check-ins for shy cats. I treat every cat like my own and aim to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. 🐾

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: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a child. My parents owned 10 acres and I helped care for dogs, pigs, rabbits, birds, sheep, goats and more. I currently own a four year-old golden retriever who I have trained since a puppy, and I am currently beginning training for him to become a Therapy dog so he can bring joy to others, as much as, he’s brought to me. I have been a physical therapist assistant for over 15 years and I am looking to focus more on my family who is getting older and the more important things in life. I’m also looking to find a new path with animals, which is why I am available daily with notice to ensure there is comfort for myself, my dog and for you and your pet as well! I have a 2 1/2 acre yard, it is not fenced so I would need to know if your dog needs to be on a leash or is trained to stay by command. My dog Oakley is four years old, trained by commands and is extremely friendly and has never had any problems with another dog. I sadly cannot take cats because he is scared of them. I am home 24/7, so I am able to be there for all their care, especially if younger and needing to be let out more often or if older and need medicine given at certain times. I have a crate if needed that could be used for small, medium or large breeds.
“Thank you so much for responding super promptly and at the very last minute! The area is nice and stress free for Bronte, especially since it was a last minute booking. I will surely be a repeat customer next time I am in the Poconos.”

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: Hello, my name is Amber! Growing up I have always had animals (ferrets, dogs, cats, horses and more). I have 7 years experience as a vet tech. I currently work part-time 2 to 3 days a week at a veterinarian office the other days I am at home with my two children and pets It can be a very stressful process to try and find someone that you trust with your fur babies. Before scheduling the house sitting or drop ins, I would love to do a meet and greet to not only get to know you but your fur babies. Safety is my number 1 priority when it comes to pets. Having them get to know me and be comfortable with me is very important. I also have experienced with dogs that can be stress with meeting new humans. I am willing to do a few meet and greets before you go away to make sure your fur babies is 100% comfortable with me.
“Wonderful experience with Michelle and Sheila! I contacted Michelle on a Thursday night, as we had an emergency need for care and our puppy was in her care Friday morning. They picked her up and she had a wonderful day with their family and other pups and they dropped her off that night, a happy, tired puppy!! They even gave her a little dry bath with a brushing and helped our pup conquer her fear of steps! We’d definitely use them again, we got pictures and a few updates throughout the day. Thank you!”
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: 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: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and other pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities.

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.

“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: 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!
About: I have always had pets my whole life.furry friends mean the world to me.it is good to have someone who truly cares when you can't be there yourself. I work another job part time so I am flexible. I have 2 fur babies of my own, a shepherd and a little mix.

“This is the first time I've used an online service to walk my dogs and I was definitely nervous. We have two rotties and needed to make sure they would be walked safely and the walker could match their energy. They are not aggressive but are big dogs that can easily drag you if you are not in control of the walk. Ashley came for a meet and greet and from the way she handled the very first interaction we knew she was the right fit for our dogs. We were out of town and getting pictures of the dogs while out on the walk was really comforting. I loved seeing their faces as they enjoyed their time out with Ashley. I absolutely recommend her and will be booking her again!”
About: Hi! My name is Brooke, I’m 24 and a dog mom to my Zeusy man for almost 7 years and have had dogs my whole life. Currently just trying to make some extra money on my off days and figured this would be good route to go! I’m experienced in all dog behavior and can handle reactive and/or aggressive dogs as well! I’ll protect and take care of your babies as I would my own :) I also own a photography/marketing business called Knecht Co so if you ever want some permanent memories of your fur babies, I’d be happy to do so! :) I work full time Monday - Thursday so my availability is Friday - Sunday. I can do check ins during the week after 6pm at the minimum! I’m not able to provide boarding, we have 3 dogs in our house. I am able to do dog sitting and walking! I treat my dogs like my own and sleep snuggled up next to my guy every night! One thing I can provide is peace of mind that your babies are taken care of and loved while your away :)
“Fantastic! We did a walk at her home. Our dogs have never been to anyone else's home. They were comfortable and acclimated nicely. They are so comfortable with her.”
“Amanda’s perfect mix of knowledge, skill and kindness In taking care of our German Shepherd-Hound mix, gives us peace of mind that our senior dog is in terrific hands when we are away for the day!”
About: I’ve been a Dog Mom for 16 years. I’ve also been entrusted to dog-sit multiple neighbors’ dogs, including a wolf/Husky hybrid named Loki; 2 “pitbull” mixes, Dicey and Scooby; and a GSD/Lab mix named Mya who has regular sleepovers at my house. I have experience giving dogs oral, drop, injectable, and subcutaneous IV medications. I take care to pay attention to the temperature outside and a dog’s needs and adjust walks accordingly (no walking on hot asphalt, make sure dogs with no undercoat are suitably dressed in cold weather, etc.). I’m a firm believer in letting dogs experience the world around them through smell, and allow them to sniff to their nose’s content on walks. If your dog is prone to pulling, please have a suitable harness available for use. (I highly recommend PetSafe EasyWalk harnesses.) NO prong, choke, or shock collars! I look forward to meeting you and your pup!! I work from home and my hours are flexible, so I am able to arrange my work schedule around the needs of you and your dog(s)! I always ensure that your dog’s collar/harness and leash are secure so they won’t slip out on a walk. I bring poop bags on every walk, and a water thermos and bowl on longer walks. Food, potty breaks, and medicine administration can all be given at drop-ins. I have experience giving oral medications, eye drops, injections, and sub-q IV drips to my own dogs, and can do so for yours as well with as much care and love as if they’re my own.
About: I have many years of experience with animals. As a teenager I worked at a vet for about a year were I helped clean kennels, take dogs out for walks as well as feed and clean up after them. I have also had my own pets since I was very young. Including dogs and cats as well as rabbits and hamsters. I have taken care of kittens as young as a week old to pets being days away from passing on. I am currently a stay at home mom. I have a 2 month old little boy and a 6 year old boy. I also have 2 dogs myself. A almost 3 year old beagle and a 2 year old red heeler. They certainly keep me on my toes but I am willing to take on the needs of other peoples pets as if they were my own. I know how heartbreaking it is to have to keep your pets inside alone all day while having to work or are going away and need some reliable to help with them so me being able to help you and them is something I want to be able to do. I have 2 dogs that are my other babies. While I’m home I’m constantly taking them outside for walks when I can as well as playing with them. My beagle is a cuddly girl so we definitely spend some time lounging around and cuddling on the couch as well.
“Laura was kind compassionate about my dog and she truly connected with Rhett and I. I am very comfortable with her , Rhett was comfortable and she communicated with me about him. I am booking her again !!”
About: My name is Gaia, and I walk dogs with my dad - Jimmy. I grew up my whole life surrounded by animals, and love caring for them big or small! I can train young pets (although I am not certified to) to do simple commands. I try my best to make your dog(s) feel safe and happy each time I see them. I take time to get to know each pet, whether they are shy, playful, or energetic 🥳 My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home! I am 15 years old and a student. My schedule is somewhat flexible and I am available Monday-Thursday from 2pm-6pm. My rates can vary depending on how I need to care for your pet. I prefer to do drop in visits in YOUR house, I have a big dog that may not be friendly with other dogs 🙃 I’ve had dogs, cats, hamsters, and bearded dragons growing up. I am a volunteer at a wildlife rescue center and can care for any animal very well! I can feed, walk, or let your pet out for a quick break if needed.

“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 !”
“Heaven was a great sitter for our pup Zara! Our original Rover sitter had a last minute cancelation and Heaven stepped in with a days notice. Would highly recommend!”
“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!!!!!”
“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!”
“Michelle did an outstanding job looking after and taking care of my little Java. Lots of pictures and updates throughout the days which made me smile and know Java was very happy. I will without a doubt use Michelle in the future when I vacation. Thank you Michelle!!”
“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.”
“Jason was attentive and attuned to Fennel and sent us lots of pictures across his extended weekend stay. He has a lovely house and wonderful large fenced yard for the pups to play in. We’d board Fennel again with him next time we fly out of Newark!”
“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.”
“Jessica is excellent. Kept us informed throughout the whole time. She sent us picks and walked China with her dogs. China seemed very happy near her and her dogs. If I visit PA again and need a pet sitter/boarding, I will def. Will look for her services.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a child. My parents owned 10 acres and I helped care for dogs, pigs, rabbits, birds, sheep, goats and more. I currently own a four year-old golden retriever who I have trained since a puppy, and I am currently beginning training for him to become a Therapy dog so he can bring joy to others, as much as, he’s brought to me. I have been a physical therapist assistant for over 15 years and I am looking to focus more on my family who is getting older and the more important things in life. I’m also looking to find a new path with animals, which is why I am available daily with notice to ensure there is comfort for myself, my dog and for you and your pet as well! I have a 2 1/2 acre yard, it is not fenced so I would need to know if your dog needs to be on a leash or is trained to stay by command. My dog Oakley is four years old, trained by commands and is extremely friendly and has never had any problems with another dog. I sadly cannot take cats because he is scared of them. I am home 24/7, so I am able to be there for all their care, especially if younger and needing to be let out more often or if older and need medicine given at certain times. I have a crate if needed that could be used for small, medium or large breeds.
“It was an absolute pleasure leaving our fur baby, Ace, with Johanny and her wonderful family. This was our first time being away from Ace, and naturally, we were a bit anxious—but Johanny made the entire process so easy and stress-free. She kept us updated throughout our vacation with multiple pictures and videos, which truly helped put our minds at ease. We’re incredibly grateful to have found someone Ace is so comfortable with, and we can’t wait to use Johanny’s services again!”
“David is Wonderful, pets , sitter He care with attention to details, follow up , professionalism, and love . We were gone for a week and he gives the best care to my two dogs . He updated us with a beautiful pictures .. thank you David”
“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.”
“Always a wonderful experience. I never need to ask for updates, they are coming regularly, very detailed and with lots of pictures. Cristel takes amazing care of Pizza and makes sure he feels like home when he’s staying with her.”
“Stefanie was excatly what I was looking for!!! She took amazing care of my four legged child. I will ask her again and again. This was my first time using a sitter that wasn’t a friend or family. Seriously a wonderful experience she’s kind, compassionate, caring 💕for my elderly dog💕”
