“Adriana was great! We had to book at the last minute because we were traveling through and accidentally booked a hotel that didn’t allow pets. She was very accommodating. She sent us lots of photos of our dog during his stay. He clearly felt very comfortable at her house based on the photos. She is very friendly and her own dog is so sweet. If we ever need a dogsitter when traveling through Scranton again, we will definitely use Adriana.”
“If I could give more than five stars, I would—honestly, this was one of the most above-and-beyond experiences we’ve ever had with any service, not just dog sitting. From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and incredibly professional—but what truly blew us away was everything that happened *after* we booked her for what was supposed to be just a single day. Due to unexpected circumstances on our end, that one day turned into three… and she handled it with nothing but grace, flexibility, and genuine care. Not once did she make us feel like it was an inconvenience. In fact, she reassured us the entire time and treated our dog like her own. She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. You could tell our dog was not only well cared for, but truly happy and comfortable. It’s rare to find someone who connects so naturally with animals, but she absolutely does. And then—when we thought we couldn’t possibly be more impressed—she somehow raised the bar even higher. She went out of her way to return our dog to us, taking not one but TWO Ubers to make sure everything worked out smoothly. Who does that?! That level of dedication, effort, and positivity is almost unheard of. The entire time, she maintained the most amazing attitude—warm, patient, and completely unbothered—when most people would understandably be stressed or frustrated. It’s hard to put into words just how grateful we are. She didn’t just “watch our dog”—she showed kindness, flexibility, and a level of commitment that genuinely meant a lot to us during a stressful situation. If you are even *considering* booking with her, do it immediately. She is reliable, compassionate, communicative, and truly goes the extra mile (literally and figuratively). We would trust her again in a heartbeat and will absolutely be booking with her in the future. Thank you again for everything—you are truly one of a kind!”
About: I don't have much experience with dog care. My family briefly had a dog or two when we lived in Trinidad and Tobago for about 2 years. And my oldest brother briefly lived with a Husky. I've been surrounded by cats most of my life since I was about 15 years old and now I'm 42 years old. I plan on being the sole pet caregiver in my household for your pet(s) and I will treat your pet or dog like an extended part of the family. Whatever rules you wish for me to follow with your pet or dog I will follow and respect them. I have a deep compassion for animals and will treat your pet or dog with love and care. I'm currently a part-time home health aide or caregiver for my Autistic 14 year old son which takes place at our home. I have a family of 5 including three kids and I'm looking for a way to make extra income. We live with 4 cats who spend most of their time outdoors. We have a fenced up yard with plenty of room for your pet(s) to roam around in and play.
About: Hello all, I've owned cats, dogs, and horses for over 20 years now and was their main caregiver starting at 8 y.o. I've worked at many horse barns and pet sitter for many many friends over the years. I have skills in pet healthcare (administering medication, baths, cutting nails, etc), young animals, dog & horse training, rescue animals, and elderly animals. I do my best to provide stress free care for your pets. I am currently working from home full-time! So there is always someone around to take care of your pet! My husband and I mostly like to relax and unwind at home with the occasional dinner date or movie, but are flexible and will be upfront with owners if their pet’s needs cannot be met! When pets are in my home, I always take note of the their state of wellness, looking for stress or anything out of the ordinary. I also will inspect the environment to ensure dangerous items (small items/chocolate/other) are out of reach. While we do not have a fenced in backyard we do have a lunge line that will allow your pet to enjoy running around in the backyard but provides a limit so pets do not go near the back alley road! I make sure pets have access to water at all times. I am able to administer medications easily whether it is as simple as pill pockets or even injections. We also have two dogs of our own as well as a cat! Geordi is a 10 year old Australian Cattle dog who is energetic but respects other pets space, Thor is a 1 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi who loves other playmates, and Wynnona is that our 4 year old cat who tends to mind her own business!
“Carissa was a great sitter for Lennox - he seems to have enjoyed her care and the company of her pet, Judge. He came back happy! During his stay with her, Carissa kept in touch with me with appropriate updates, including photos and a few short videos. She was flexible on drop off and pick up times, which was great because my return home was delayed a little bit with traffic. I’d recommend her for sure and already booked Lennox for another stay with her in a few weeks!”
“Eileen was great! She took care of my kitten (Charlie) for 20 days and updated me with pictures and information about him throughout his stay with her. At first she was slow to respond to my messages before taking Charlie in but was great during his stay. I would be happy to recommend her to anyone.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals and pets my whole life. From puppies to senior dogs, I love taking precious l puppers under my wing while they need it! I am a long time pet owner who is now a medical student. My schedule is flexible and my work/study allows me to have time to care for pets and give them the time they deserve. I have a safe environment where pets will be given attention and love along with their everyday needs like food, water, walks, and potty times!
“My dog Jazzy loves Glenn! When I drop off my dog I know he is well taken care of!! Glenn takes care of his every need and I get notifications throughout the time he has Jazzy. Highly recommend!!”
“Mary did a great job. She sent us regular pictures and kept our energetic dog active and entertained. We picked our dog up much later in the day than we thought but Mary was very flexible w our schedule and stayed up till we arrived. I'd say she went above and beyond to take care of our pooch!”
“Hailey was the perfect sitter remedy for an unexpected cancellation from a previous sitter of mine. She provided constant updates on his well-being, along with pictures and videos. Seeing as Cooper is a special needs dog, and that he had a good time, is a huge plus. I would absolutely recommend her to anybody that asked, and will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Chrisie was a huge help! She is so clearly a dog person that even our shy Doodle settled in at her home with her pack. She sent photo updates so we could rest assured, and was flexible with our traveling timing. We are so appreciative and will recommend her to anyone with a small dog.”
About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own that I care for daily. I also care for my friends pets often and am excited to meet your pets and provide them the best care that they deserve. I am available all day on weekends and in the evenings every day. Some week days I am available more often. I am also available for overnights stays. I have a fenced in yard so would be able to have your pets in my home with no concern of them running off or anything like that. If I am caring for your pets in your home I will treat your home like my own, providing the best care.
“Samantha took such great care of our pups! She was friendly, super responsive and responsible! Our pups came home very content and seemed to have loved their stay with her family, we HIGHLY recommend!”
“Tara is great! She is very kind and easy to communicate with. My dog is a clingy and nervous chihuahua, and he felt very comfortable with Tara. She did a great job making him feel relaxed while sharing pictures with me while I was away. I appreciate her dedication and patience for making my dog, and myself, feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while I was out of town. Thank you Tara!”
“Anna was able to get my boy Timber in on short notice and he had a fun day getting tired playing with all the other pups (supervised 1 on 1 play). Convenient location, and good communication. Would call again if the need arose.”
“Right from the start, Kerri was so great to us. She came over to meet our dog beforehand and sent us messages with pictures while we were away. She really put us at ease, and we appreciate that so much. We recommend her 100%.”

“Megan was great with Lennox during drop-ins while I was away from home for a full day. She let him out, sat with him inside and on the back deck, gave him treats and kept him well-fed and happy. Her definitely seemed to have had a joyful day and Megan was reliable, courteous and very responsive with communications before, during and after her visits. I plan to utilize her expertise again soon.”
“Victoria is our go-to sitter in the area. She’s taken care of our cats multiple times and does an amazing job on every occasion. I would highly recommend booking her for your pets!”
“With Joanne, our cats weren’t just “looked after,” but were cared for and played with. I got great pictures every day and my anxiety of being away from them was eased greatly! Thank you, Joanne!”
“Eileen was great! She took care of my kitten (Charlie) for 20 days and updated me with pictures and information about him throughout his stay with her. At first she was slow to respond to my messages before taking Charlie in but was great during his stay. I would be happy to recommend her to anyone.”
“This was the first time we left our two cats together for any extended time, and were very happy with how well they were taken care of! Kacey and Kelly were very communicative and friendly, and our pets warmed up to them quickly- would highly recommend!”
“Freya was such a blessing and I would highly recommend her. It was a great relief to have my Nala stay at home while I was away on vacation especially after we just lost her sister. Freya went above and beyond to make sure she was taken care of and loved during this time. It was wonderful seeing all of the pictures and I was stress free knowing that my girl was taken care of. Above all, she is trustworthy and my Nala loved her! Will absolutely be booking her again in the future!”
“Alannah was a terrific cat sitter - attentive, communicative, and caring to our pets! I appreciated her accommodating a somewhat last minute request and I came home to some happy cats :)”
About: I’ve had my own cat for 4 years, so I understand how to care for cats and respect their different moods and needs. From feeding and litter box cleaning to playtime and cozy cuddles, I know how to make cats feel safe and loved. I’m patient, gentle, and always pay attention to what a cat is trying to communicate. I’ll treat your cat with the same love and care I give my own!
“Kendra was able come take care of my two cats after I had to schedule a very last-minute drop in. She was very communicative and did a wonderful job taking care of them. I’m super grateful to have been able to book her!”
About: Hi, I’m Tamera! I run Happy Howls Daycare and Walkies, where I bring over 11 years of professional pet care experience to every visit. One of my favorite aspects of this work is puppy care and foundational training. I understand the patience and consistency required for young dogs—from reinforcing potty schedules to working on basic leash manners and socialization. Whether you have a high-energy pup or a senior dog who needs a gentle pace, I tailor my care to their specific life stage. You’ll notice my last Rover review was in 2017; since then, I have been operating as a self-employed pet care provider for private clients. I’m returning to Rover now to meet new families and share my decade-plus of expertise with your furry friends. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and dedicated to making sure every "howl" is a happy one! I myself have 2 cats and 1 dog. I currently reside with my mother in a 4 bedroom house. My mother owns 5 cats, 1 small dog, and a ferret. All are friendly. Keep in mind if youd want care in my home. :) As a professional pet care provider, my daily and weekly schedule is designed entirely around the needs of my furry clients. Because I manage Happy Howls Daycare and Walkies as my primary focus, I am able to offer a high level of flexibility and dedicated attention that fits into a structured routine: Morning Energy (7:00 AM – 10:00 AM): My day starts early with morning 'potty breaks' and active walks. This is the prime time for puppies who are working on their training and need consistent outdoor reinforcement first thing in the morning. Mid-Day Adventures (11:00 AM – 3:00 PM): This block is dedicated to my core walking routes and daycare guests. I schedule midday visits to ensure dogs get their much-needed exercise and socialization while their owners are at work. Afternoon Wind-Down (4:00 PM – 6:00 PM): I focus on late-afternoon walks and feeding schedules. For daycare pups, this is a time for calm play and getting them ready for their evening transition back home. Seven-Day Availability: While my busiest days are Monday through Friday, I am also available for weekend 'walkies' and daycare by request. This ensures that whether it’s a standard work week or a busy weekend, your pet has a consistent and familiar face to look forward to. Throughout the day, I maintain a very organized schedule. I make sure to leave plenty of time between visits so I am never rushed, allowing me to give each dog my full attention, work on training cues, and send plenty of photo updates to you. When your pet stays with me, my home becomes their second home. I focus on creating a calm, structured environment where they can feel secure while you’re away." Safety First: I maintain a 'paws-on-the-floor' policy for greetings to keep excitement levels manageable, especially for puppies in training. My home is fully pet-proofed to ensure a hazard-free stay. Routine & Structure: I mirror your dog's home routine as closely as possible—including specific feeding times, nap schedules, and any 'house rules' you have in place. Supervised Socialization: If multiple dogs are present, interactions are always 100% supervised. I use my experience to read body language and ensure every pup feels comfortable and respected. Cleanliness: I maintain high sanitation standards to keep everyone healthy and happy. In Your Home: Walkies & Drop-Ins "My goal for home visits is to provide high-quality care while leaving your home exactly as I found it—with the addition of a very happy dog!" Secure Entry & Exit: I am extremely diligent with home security. I double-check that all doors and gates are locked and that security systems are reset upon my departure. The Walk Experience: Safety is my priority on 'walkies.' I use sturdy leashes, avoid high-traffic or 'unpredictable' areas, and keep a close eye on the pavement temperature and weather conditions. Puppy/Senior Care: For clients at your home, I customize the visit. For puppies, this includes cleaning any accidents and reinforcing potty training; for seniors, it may involve gentle mobility assistance or administering medication. Detailed Check-ins: I will let you know when they nap, eat, and do their business
“Hailey did a great job of taking care of our cat! We were able to schedule house sitting for the week on short notice. Cat's food and water was full, and the litterboxes were clean. House was in a great condition as well. We received timely and consistent updates and photos. Cat was in a good mood upon our return. Would recommend Hailey to others.”
“Imani is amazing she took excellent care of my cat Toby. I was so surprised that Toby felt very comfortable by the second day. For us it’s extremely important to have someone care for our baby Toby the way Imani did. Everyday she kept me updated on how Toby was coming along. I highly recommend her and will utilize her services in the further with no doubt in my mind.”
About: I have been caring for pets, including dogs, cats, birds, chickens, and more, in people's homes for 10 years, developing a wide range of skills. Additionally, my work at a pet resort that offers boarding, daycare, grooming, and training has provided me with extensive training and experience. I have successfully managed up to five dogs in one household simultaneously and, having three dogs of my own, am well-equipped to handle any situation with ease. My lifelong love for animals has driven me to ensure they receive the best care possible. Whether it's providing the right environment, understanding their needs, or simply giving them the affection they deserve. Pet care fits well into my routine. I currently live in Camp Hill and work part-time at a pet resort, which allows me plenty of time to care for your furry companion. My typical hours for work are either 6:00 am to 12:00 pm or 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm. This fall, as I return to college in Scranton, I’ll continue offering pet sitting services in the Scranton area and will come back for breaks around the holidays. I’ll make sure to stay in touch and would love to be updated on how your pets are doing whenever I’m not around. In caring for pets, in my home, at work, and in clients' homes, I bring a strong background in safety and responsiveness. My experience as a lifeguard and working with animals has honed my ability to manage emergencies and provide care. Originally trained in human CPR, I've adapted these skills for pets, allowing me to handle medical situations effectively. At work, I use skills in being able to quickly assess when a pet is in pain or something isn’t right and know how to act immediately. Additionally, having cared for an elderly dog that lived to 17, I’m experienced in managing age-related health concerns and providing attentive care to ensure pets remain comfortable and well cared for.

“Our dog had a great time at Adriana's. Between pictures and updates we could see he had a lot of fun with other dogs, including her dog Milo, who is super friendly and playful. The nice backyard set up she has for them to play around and constant supervision made Zync's stay pleasant.”
“Hailey took great care of our dog Mumford! He's a senior with some health issues, so we're always nervous about leaving him with someone new. She met with us before his stay, and even provided pick up and drop off to and from our home. I got pictures every day of him cuddling in her bed! He looked like he felt right at home! I'm sure he's looking forward to seeing her again soon; we've booked her to help with some daily walks. I feel very happy knowing that we can go out of town and have someone we trust to take care of him.”

About: I’ve always loved caring for pets and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and careful with feeding, walking, playtime, and routines.

I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep pets in a clean and calm environment, and make sure they are supervised, secure, and cared for with patience and kindness.

“Mera was wonderful with our 5-mo-old puppy (Briar)! She was very responsive and accommodating during the initial meet-and-greet and booking process, and she sent frequent photos and videos of Briar playing with Mera's dogs throughout the day. She followed our care instructions and was happy to work with our schedule. Thanks, Mera!”
“Bryan is professional and responsive and clearly has a great deal of experience with dog sitting. He was able to accommodate atypical drop-off and pick-up times and sent updates about our puppy's activities and behavior throughout the day. We've already booked another visit with him!”

About: I grew up surrounded by a variety of farm and domestic animals, but my new apartment is too small for dogs or cats... So I’d love to care for your pets! I have experience with little puppies and kittens, grumpy old pets, large athletic dogs and cats or dogs that need brushing or to be carried up stairs or crated. Simply let me know your pet’s needs and I’ll be delighted to meet them. My friends know me as a big fan of dogs, and a cat whisperer (even grumpy ones!). I even have a cat tattoo, so a pet is always with me. As long as I can remember I have enjoyed walking, feeding, swimming with, medicating, brushing, and petting my family and friend’s variety of sizes and breeds of cats and dogs. I have done overnight stays as well and had a blast. I also have experience caring for snakes, hamsters, and birds if you need. I am an intern and recent college grad.
“Honestly I don't think I could find a better person to care for my baby when we aren't home. Serena seemed to have a good time and was able to relax and not be nervous. She even ate some dinner (which she usually doesn't when we aren't around).”
“Our experience with Annie was terrific! She was great with our Mini Aussie Fred, even sending us some pics and updates while we were at a nearby concert. She was extremely friendly and made Fred's stay and our trip stress free and very enjoyable! Would highly recommend her to anyone interested in using DogVacay in the Scranton area!”

I host Doggie Daycare in my home daily and it’s very important all dogs are friendly with other dogs.

Cats are allowed to free roam with all dog guests during their stay unless advance plans are made. I am home all day. Your pet will not be left alone during daycare hours and never longer then a shopping / grocery trip while boarding. I have a securely fenced in yard that is very well maintained and also gates throughout the house to prevent accidental escaping when doors are opened.

About: I have loved and cared for my own pets for more than 17 years. I’m in college and without a pet, so I would love to hang out and take walks with every dog ever. I have great time management skills. My weekly schedule is mostly open for the summer. I will never put times that are unavailable for me. I will never take my eyes off of them. Their safety is a main priority. All advice and precautions stated to properly care for a pet with be acknowledged and followed.
About: Hi, I’m Tamera! I run Happy Howls Daycare and Walkies, where I bring over 11 years of professional pet care experience to every visit. One of my favorite aspects of this work is puppy care and foundational training. I understand the patience and consistency required for young dogs—from reinforcing potty schedules to working on basic leash manners and socialization. Whether you have a high-energy pup or a senior dog who needs a gentle pace, I tailor my care to their specific life stage. You’ll notice my last Rover review was in 2017; since then, I have been operating as a self-employed pet care provider for private clients. I’m returning to Rover now to meet new families and share my decade-plus of expertise with your furry friends. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and dedicated to making sure every "howl" is a happy one! I myself have 2 cats and 1 dog. I currently reside with my mother in a 4 bedroom house. My mother owns 5 cats, 1 small dog, and a ferret. All are friendly. Keep in mind if youd want care in my home. :) As a professional pet care provider, my daily and weekly schedule is designed entirely around the needs of my furry clients. Because I manage Happy Howls Daycare and Walkies as my primary focus, I am able to offer a high level of flexibility and dedicated attention that fits into a structured routine: Morning Energy (7:00 AM – 10:00 AM): My day starts early with morning 'potty breaks' and active walks. This is the prime time for puppies who are working on their training and need consistent outdoor reinforcement first thing in the morning. Mid-Day Adventures (11:00 AM – 3:00 PM): This block is dedicated to my core walking routes and daycare guests. I schedule midday visits to ensure dogs get their much-needed exercise and socialization while their owners are at work. Afternoon Wind-Down (4:00 PM – 6:00 PM): I focus on late-afternoon walks and feeding schedules. For daycare pups, this is a time for calm play and getting them ready for their evening transition back home. Seven-Day Availability: While my busiest days are Monday through Friday, I am also available for weekend 'walkies' and daycare by request. This ensures that whether it’s a standard work week or a busy weekend, your pet has a consistent and familiar face to look forward to. Throughout the day, I maintain a very organized schedule. I make sure to leave plenty of time between visits so I am never rushed, allowing me to give each dog my full attention, work on training cues, and send plenty of photo updates to you. When your pet stays with me, my home becomes their second home. I focus on creating a calm, structured environment where they can feel secure while you’re away." Safety First: I maintain a 'paws-on-the-floor' policy for greetings to keep excitement levels manageable, especially for puppies in training. My home is fully pet-proofed to ensure a hazard-free stay. Routine & Structure: I mirror your dog's home routine as closely as possible—including specific feeding times, nap schedules, and any 'house rules' you have in place. Supervised Socialization: If multiple dogs are present, interactions are always 100% supervised. I use my experience to read body language and ensure every pup feels comfortable and respected. Cleanliness: I maintain high sanitation standards to keep everyone healthy and happy. In Your Home: Walkies & Drop-Ins "My goal for home visits is to provide high-quality care while leaving your home exactly as I found it—with the addition of a very happy dog!" Secure Entry & Exit: I am extremely diligent with home security. I double-check that all doors and gates are locked and that security systems are reset upon my departure. The Walk Experience: Safety is my priority on 'walkies.' I use sturdy leashes, avoid high-traffic or 'unpredictable' areas, and keep a close eye on the pavement temperature and weather conditions. Puppy/Senior Care: For clients at your home, I customize the visit. For puppies, this includes cleaning any accidents and reinforcing potty training; for seniors, it may involve gentle mobility assistance or administering medication. Detailed Check-ins: I will let you know when they nap, eat, and do their business
About: I have grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. I took care of my childhood dog from a puppy through senior stages, and have dog sat a variety of pets from extra large puppies to small, 15+ year old dogs - at the same time! I am used to boarding and taking care of pets at their own homes, but I would also be able to have pets at my home! I am currently in medical school but only have class on Tuesday-Friday. Otherwise, I’m at home studying and can take breaks to care for pets! I am very flexible depending on the individual pet's preference! I live a rather active lifestyle and enjoy going on runs and hikes in my free time, and would be happy to take a pet with me, or spend time playing with pets in my yard. However, I am also happy to spend time sitting with pets who are less active inside, and still giving them the attention that they deserve. I dont mind pets on furniture or sleeping in bed with me if thats what they are comfortable with.
About: Hi! My name is Imani, and I am a caring, reliable pet sitter and dog walker who provides drop-in visits for both cats and dogs, as well as dog walking services. I have a natural love for animals and take pride in making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I follow all instructions carefully and make sure each pet’s routine is maintained, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning for cats, and playtime or walks based on their needs. I have several years of experience in childcare, home care, and supporting families, which has made me very responsible, detail-oriented, and trustworthy in people’s homes and with animals. I am available for drop-in visits for cats and dogs, as well as dog walking. I do not offer boarding at this time, but I am committed to providing consistent, loving care during each visit. I also understand how important it is for pets to feel calm and secure, and I always aim to be a gentle, dependable presence for them. I can supervise and give the love and affection he or she deserves. I can also provide pick up and drop off services, of needed. I care for your fur baby as you desire or as close to it as possible. Although I love all animals my current residence only allows cats.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I have been around animals my entire life, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. I also have experience caring for senior dogs. My own dog has since passed away, but I helped care for him throughout his later years, which taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and providing extra comfort and support. Because of this experience, I am comfortable giving medications, helping pets stick to their routines, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and affection. Whether that means going on walks, playing fetch, providing activities, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply spending quality time cuddling and keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Since I am currently a college student and school is out, I have a lot of free time and a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of attention to the pets in my care. I also work as a babysitter, but Rover is my top priority job. I make sure to schedule my time carefully so that every pet receives the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, or simply spending quality time together, I am committed to providing reliable and attentive care. Because of my flexible availability, I can easily accommodate different routines and help pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently have three cats who, despite not paying rent, are very well taken care of! Caring for them is a big part of my daily routine. I make sure they receive their daily feedings, fresh water, interactive playtime, plenty of attention, and daily litter box cleanings to keep their environment clean and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible so their pets feel safe and comfortable. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, administering medications if needed, and providing lots of love and companionship. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel cared for while their owners are away. My goal is always to provide dependable care, maintain a clean environment, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

I work from home, I have no problems with schedules Time is not a problem for me, you will always be welcome in my house The owner must give me the schedules for each pet and specific care.

“Hailey has been walking our dog daily for months and she has been consistently on time, flexible and extremely nice and helpful! Our dog loves her and gets so excited every time she comes to our door. We definitely highly recommend her and we will continue to use her in the future!”
“Aubriana was really great with my dog. Aside from walking, he takes meds twice a day and she was able to do that for him as well. He has a lot of energy during the first 15-20 mins of his walk and she was able to handle him just fine. She also kept me posted on when she arrived/walked/left. I would use her again.”
“Toni is awesome. On our first meet you would tell how caring she was and patient. We have a senior dog who needs special care and right away we knew Toni was the perfect fit. Our old lady is very receptive to her and Toni has gone above and beyond to give her the time and attention she needs.”
About: I have taken care of many different kinds of pets from a very young age. I grew up taking care of the many dogs, both big and small, in my house. My family used to breed English bulldogs, so I am capable of looking after puppies as well as older dogs. We now have 2 dogs and a pig that I help look after. I am currently a full-time student and student-athlete. This being said during the day I do have a couple of hours of classes/ practice. Obviously, I would be with pets any chance I can get before, after, and between classes as much as possible. I have been pet sitting for my neighbors and friends for years, so I am familiar/comfortable with all different kinds of dog breeds and their specific needs as well as other animals.
About: I grew up with dogs, my whole life. I’ve had everything from a mini schnauzer/dachshund mix to a German Shepherd/Chinese Chow mix. I have dog-sat for relatives and friends, from a few hours to a few weeks, including puppies in training and elderly dogs. I love going on walks and would love to bring your special pet with me. I have a very flexible schedule. I am free after 11 every day except for Sunday. With notice I can be available before 11. I generally don’t go on walks after dark but will do stop in visits after dark. I don’t have any dogs myself. My husband is allergic so we cannot have pets at my house. I would love to have some puppy snuggles at your house or on a walk. If your dog is a happy to be outside dog, we have a covered front porch and a backyard with a fence where we can have dogs come to our house.

“Adriana was great! We had to book at the last minute because we were traveling through and accidentally booked a hotel that didn’t allow pets. She was very accommodating. She sent us lots of photos of our dog during his stay. He clearly felt very comfortable at her house based on the photos. She is very friendly and her own dog is so sweet. If we ever need a dogsitter when traveling through Scranton again, we will definitely use Adriana.”
“If I could give more than five stars, I would—honestly, this was one of the most above-and-beyond experiences we’ve ever had with any service, not just dog sitting. From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and incredibly professional—but what truly blew us away was everything that happened *after* we booked her for what was supposed to be just a single day. Due to unexpected circumstances on our end, that one day turned into three… and she handled it with nothing but grace, flexibility, and genuine care. Not once did she make us feel like it was an inconvenience. In fact, she reassured us the entire time and treated our dog like her own. She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. You could tell our dog was not only well cared for, but truly happy and comfortable. It’s rare to find someone who connects so naturally with animals, but she absolutely does. And then—when we thought we couldn’t possibly be more impressed—she somehow raised the bar even higher. She went out of her way to return our dog to us, taking not one but TWO Ubers to make sure everything worked out smoothly. Who does that?! That level of dedication, effort, and positivity is almost unheard of. The entire time, she maintained the most amazing attitude—warm, patient, and completely unbothered—when most people would understandably be stressed or frustrated. It’s hard to put into words just how grateful we are. She didn’t just “watch our dog”—she showed kindness, flexibility, and a level of commitment that genuinely meant a lot to us during a stressful situation. If you are even *considering* booking with her, do it immediately. She is reliable, compassionate, communicative, and truly goes the extra mile (literally and figuratively). We would trust her again in a heartbeat and will absolutely be booking with her in the future. Thank you again for everything—you are truly one of a kind!”
About: Hello all, I've owned cats, dogs, and horses for over 20 years now and was their main caregiver starting at 8 y.o. I've worked at many horse barns and pet sitter for many many friends over the years. I have skills in pet healthcare (administering medication, baths, cutting nails, etc), young animals, dog & horse training, rescue animals, and elderly animals. I do my best to provide stress free care for your pets. I am currently working from home full-time! So there is always someone around to take care of your pet! My husband and I mostly like to relax and unwind at home with the occasional dinner date or movie, but are flexible and will be upfront with owners if their pet’s needs cannot be met! When pets are in my home, I always take note of the their state of wellness, looking for stress or anything out of the ordinary. I also will inspect the environment to ensure dangerous items (small items/chocolate/other) are out of reach. While we do not have a fenced in backyard we do have a lunge line that will allow your pet to enjoy running around in the backyard but provides a limit so pets do not go near the back alley road! I make sure pets have access to water at all times. I am able to administer medications easily whether it is as simple as pill pockets or even injections. We also have two dogs of our own as well as a cat! Geordi is a 10 year old Australian Cattle dog who is energetic but respects other pets space, Thor is a 1 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi who loves other playmates, and Wynnona is that our 4 year old cat who tends to mind her own business!
“Carissa was a great sitter for Lennox - he seems to have enjoyed her care and the company of her pet, Judge. He came back happy! During his stay with her, Carissa kept in touch with me with appropriate updates, including photos and a few short videos. She was flexible on drop off and pick up times, which was great because my return home was delayed a little bit with traffic. I’d recommend her for sure and already booked Lennox for another stay with her in a few weeks!”
“Mary did a great job. She sent us regular pictures and kept our energetic dog active and entertained. We picked our dog up much later in the day than we thought but Mary was very flexible w our schedule and stayed up till we arrived. I'd say she went above and beyond to take care of our pooch!”
“Hailey was the perfect sitter remedy for an unexpected cancellation from a previous sitter of mine. She provided constant updates on his well-being, along with pictures and videos. Seeing as Cooper is a special needs dog, and that he had a good time, is a huge plus. I would absolutely recommend her to anybody that asked, and will definitely be using her in the future!”
About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own that I care for daily. I also care for my friends pets often and am excited to meet your pets and provide them the best care that they deserve. I am available all day on weekends and in the evenings every day. Some week days I am available more often. I am also available for overnights stays. I have a fenced in yard so would be able to have your pets in my home with no concern of them running off or anything like that. If I am caring for your pets in your home I will treat your home like my own, providing the best care.
“Anna was able to get my boy Timber in on short notice and he had a fun day getting tired playing with all the other pups (supervised 1 on 1 play). Convenient location, and good communication. Would call again if the need arose.”
“Right from the start, Kerri was so great to us. She came over to meet our dog beforehand and sent us messages with pictures while we were away. She really put us at ease, and we appreciate that so much. We recommend her 100%.”
“Jack and Joanne are the best! Our Brittany Spaniel had the best time at their home while we were away, and we felt relaxed knowing he was in such good hands. It can be hard to trust others with your fur babies, but with Jack and Joanne, we knew he was being loved and taken care of just as if he was home. We can not recommend them enough!”
“Kaitlyn was very nice to work with. Maddie had a good stay and I felt very comfortable leaving her there. Kaitlyn kept us updated on how Maddie was doing and even sent pictures. I will definitely use Kaitlyn again to watch Maddie.”
“Adam was wonderful with Scout! I was a little nervous about boarding him since he usually stays with family, but Adam and his family truly made it feel like he was staying with relatives of his own. He sent regular updates and pictures throughout Scout's stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Every photo showed Scout looking happy, comfortable, and cozying up to everyone. It was clear he was getting plenty of attention and affection. When we picked Scout up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Adam made it so easy to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Scout was in great hands. We're incredibly grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely trust him with Scout again in the future!”

About: IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO KNOW BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICES: I work full-time from 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM Monday through Friday, and occasional weekend days/one federal holiday per calendar year. I have always been, and will always be an animal person. I have 3 dogs of my own currently: Lincoln (12 year old chihuahua), Ripley (4 year old mixed breed), and Tots (5 year old mixed breed); I also have a bunny named Bonsai (10 years old)! I have spent many years dedicated to the happiness and well-being of dogs of all ages ranging from 5 pounds to 150 pounds. I’ve socialized dogs for many years and can pick up on their cues of how they’re feeling, whether it be happy, anxious, or fearful. I’m well versed in medication administration as well, whether it be orally or topically given. I’ve prepped food that ranged from standard kibble to entirely raw. I’m also no stranger to cleaning up if a dog has an accident. I know how it is to worry when you’re away from your furry companions and that is why I uphold myself to high standards to make sure all animals are safe and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working full-time and am diligent about making sure my schedule is up to date as I like to stay organized and plan ahead. I work from 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and occasional weekend days/holidays. I have a fenced in yard. I have crates available in house if your dog is crate trained, whether it be for eating, sleeping, or general comfort/decompression. I have extra leads to make sure each dog is being walked safely. If your dog is on a retractable leash, I will make the call to use either a standard leash or British lead. It ensures the safety of both your companion and my own when on walks.
