“Monica was a great person very caring very reliable with my kitten. I appreciated how she updated me with pictures and also helpful with ideas to take care of my kitten. I highly recommend her and family!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Amazing puppy sitters for my babies. I got multiple pictures every day. Plenty of walks. And my pups were so happy and content when I picked them up. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟”
“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!”
“Hanelle has to be the nicest person but on top of that the best person to trust your pet with. She went above and beyond special care for our little Ginger and spoiled her with homemade biscuits on top of all the love she gave her. She exercised her regularly and listened to any additional information we gave her! Certainly recommend her and will be using her again”
About: I will give your dog(s) my undivided attention. They will be fed and taken for walks. I will engage with them throughout the day, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I will care for them just like they were my own pet. Being a dog owner myself, I understand how much they mean to their families. In case of an emergency at home or work, I will provide the necessary care for your dogs. I have a unique bond with every dog I meet and truly enjoy their company, ensuring they receive plenty of affection. In the past, I have cared for my family's dogs, feeding and walking them nearly every day. I am knowledgeable about how to handle dogs safely. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to dog-sit and walk the dogs entrusted to my care. Pet caring is one of my passion because they bring so much joy to our lives.

They will have access to my balcony for when they need cooling and some quiet.
“Maria was very kind to my senior dog. Very accommodating! Quick response, and updated me on how my pup was doing. It was so nice to know that Jasmine was taken care of while I was away. Thank you!!”
“Shantel pulled through for us on a last minute boarding. Kai seemed to enjoy her best life at Shantell's based on the pictures we got back. Great communication, would choose her again if we needed to.”
“Grace was awesome! She took amazing care of my 2 dogs and made sure they felt at home in her home with her family. They got extra snuggles, slept in the bed like they love to and had a great outdoor space to play in. She sent updates daily with lots of pictures. I will be using grace again for my next trip! She even made them special treats to come home with.”
“Roosevelt took great care of Tank! He sent us tons of pictures and updates, and I felt confident that Tank was safe and happy while we were gone. We will definitely be using Roosevelt again!”
“This was the first time Bento was away from us. He is now 11 months old. Aleja took good care of him. She sent pictures and brief statements so we could aways check how Bento was doing. We definetely would use her services again.”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Nicolas care for our beloved dog, Mazzie, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, it was clear that our pup was in great hands. Mazzie went on long walks, had incredible play time with their dog Sinatra, and we received tons of wonderful pictures, making our time away. It was evident that they were genuinely passionate about animals, and Mazzie was instantly comfortable, which gave us such peace of mind. Overall, we couldn’t recommend this pet sitter highly enough. They treated Mazzie as if she were their own, and we will definitely be using them again in the future. If you’re looking for reliable, compassionate, and attentive care for your furry family member, look no further!”
“SHE WAS AMAZINGGG, my baby Valentina seemed so happy and calm at her house! She sent me updates whenever I asked :) she was great, good communication, everything was good I’m leaving my baby kitty with her next time.!”
“I have a five-month-old puppy that Kevin kept overnight for me this past weekend. He sent me updates and pictures. Winchester came home very happy. I would definitely recommend Kevin for your pet sitting needs”
“Katie provided wonderful care for our dog at her residence while we were away. She took the time to get to know myself and my dog prior to her stay. It was our lab's first time boarding and Katie sent updates regularly throughout the day which helped ease the transition. Katie's professionalism, passion and love for the animals was evident throughout the entire experience. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart, and with experience caring for multiple cats of my own, I understand how important patience, gentleness, and routine are for them. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or affectionate, I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. From feeding and playtime to cuddles and companionship, I’ll care for your cat like they’re part of my own family.
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.
“Katherine was absolutely the best! I cannot recommend her highly enough. My shy, but friendly cat Mia, really warmed up to Katherine, eventually allowing her to play and have lap time. Katherine sent pictures and videos every day, which made a huge difference while I was out of town on vacation. I will absolutely reach out to Katherine the next time I leave town. Simply wonderful!”

“I can’t recommend Arianna enough! Leaving our two Cane Corsos in someone else’s care is never something we take lightly — they’re large, strong dogs with unique needs and big personalities. But Arianna handled everything with confidence, care, and professionalism from start to finish. If you’re looking for someone reliable and trustworthy who truly gets dogs, especially big ones like Cane Corsos, look no further. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
About: With a profound dedication to feline well-being, my journey in animal care has prominently featured the compassionate management of an animal shelter, where I honed my skills in creating a nurturing environment for cats.

Proficient in cat behavior and well-versed in creating a supportive atmosphere, I am poised to be an excellent choice for providing exceptional care and companionship to our beloved feline companions.
“Kimberly was awesome! She communicated with us everyday and always made sure to send several photos during her visits. It was a pleasure to work with her and we would absolutely work with her again.”
“Tammie was an absolute lifesaver while I was on vacation! She came three times a day to care for my cat, including administering oral medication, which can be a challenge—but she handled it with total professionalism and care. She was always on time, incredibly communicative, and sent regular updates that really helped me relax while I was away. When our flight was unexpectedly delayed, she didn’t hesitate to make additional last-minute visits to make sure my cat was safe and comfortable. Her flexibility and dedication truly went above and beyond. It’s such a relief to know my pet is in such capable and compassionate hands. I will 100% be booking with Tammie again and can’t recommend her highly enough!”

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 am a 33 year old disabled Army Veteran. I worked with Military Dogs during my time in the Army and I also had my own lovebugs at home. I am very experienced in obedience and basic command training, but I also give your Dog all the attention and love they need. I love taking them out for walks and playtime to get them powered out. In the Military I worked mostly with German Sheperds and Belgian Malanois, at home I gave my love to a French and an English Bulldog, so I am well aware of some of the health issues that these breeds have. Nonetheless I work well with all breeds and I am always excited to get to know New friends everywhere.
“I left my 11 week old cane corso with Carolina. He quickly became comfortable with her and her dog. She was very professional. Send lots of videos, pictures and updates on how he was doing. Our puppy has a strict training regimen and she made sure to follow it. I will recommend her to everyone and I will deft be leaving my puppy with her again! Thank you Carolina and luke ?”
About: Since pre-teen, I grew up with dogs mostly as my parents had several dogs in the house. I love to care for dogs and make sure they’re happy and loved. Before Rover, I’ve walked and looked after neighbors’ dogs and owners have confided in me to care for them while they are away (i.e., family vacations, business trips, etc…). Currently my job is fully remote and I can mainly dog-sit during the day on a weekly basis. During the weekends, I can board, house sit and help in any way that I can with advance notice. My apartment is pet friendly and it is safe environment for dogs of any type. Apartment has easy dog access and Center City neighborhood is very safe. I live in between Rittenhouse Square Park and Washington Square park (~5mins walk).
About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter and dog walker based out of Newton, NJ. Animals are my life! I’ve been working full time in petcare for close to four years, and as a caretaker for many years. Before going into dogcare full time, I was most recently working as a nursing home aid, and CHHA. Before that, I worked with farm animals at the Turtle Back Zoo, and volunteered with the cat adoption agency, ‘Kitty Kind.’ I’ve had and taken care of my dogs, as well as others, ever since I was a little girl. I missed working with our four-legged friends, and I’m very happy to have returned to this fuzzier kind of work. Right now at home, I’ve got two Malamute Labrador mixes. Needless to say, I do have experience handling big dogs, though I love the little ones, too! I am available for overnights, in most cases, so long as I’m not on schedule for another client. My main duty right now is taking care of my animals at home, so I’m also happy to take on whatever odd shifts people may need help with. How I would care for a client’s fuzzy friend would be an entirely personalized experience. I want to know how YOU want them taken care of, and what you are comfortable with and looking for. Then, I will enthusiastically and reliably fill that role, whilst ensuring a safe and protective experience for your pet.
About: My family has always had dogs and I had my first dog when I was 9yrs old. I’ve always felt a special connection with dogs and love to have them around and care for them. They bring so much joy, and are great company and entertainment. The 4 dogs I’ve had since I was a child have been of different breeds and sizes. My first dog was a medium sized rescued dog and we are unsure of his breed. The second one was a large Italian Mastiff, and I now have two small Cavapoos (Rocky and Lego) that are a wonderful addition to my family. Whenever we have family gatherings I always welcome family and friends with their pets and Rocky and Lego love having other furry friends over. I have the time and space to care for other dogs while their family travels, work or runs errands and know that their dogs are well taken care of in a loving home. I have cared for family and friends dogs many times before and I enjoy having them. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am pretty available during the week and some weekends, and if requested ahead of time, I can make arrangements to be available for long term stay if needed. I have a partially fenced yard, but would walk your dog leashed at all times to ensure his/her safety. I have a crate that can be used for your dog during the day or at night if that’s what your dog is used to and would make him/her feel safe. My two dogs are very friendly and playful and would make your dog feel right at home. I allow my dogs on furniture and would allow yours as well if that is part of your dynamic at home as well. I also have a deck where they can play outside, run around and get some sun. I have a field right in front of my home where we go for daily walks. I am also open for a phone call, FaceTime or an in person visit to meet me and my dogs before hand.
About: I have cared for all kinds of animals, but predominantly dogs and cats. I’ve nannied for years and cared for family pets with love. Dogs and cats are really God’s gift to humans! I work from home and I can also take my laptop with me anywhere in a pinch, and I know I also will have plenty of breaks through the day to care for the pups or cats! I live in an apartment where animas are welcome on the cozy sofa for lots of snuggles. Walks and dog park could be a good option or just potty trips outside and relaxing indoors with some walks in between. And play!
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.
“We were in New Orleans with our chocolate lab and needed someone last minute to watch her. Jackie responded quickly and Mickey absolutely loved her and her husband! She sent me frequent pictures and updates. She was easy to work with and appreciated her giving us the opportunity to do some dog-free tours and exploring of the area!”
“My pup Farrah is in her glory when staying with Hannelie. She has room to roam and two great pups to play with. Hannelie prioritizes safety and fun, leaving me with nothing but confidence that Farrah has the best care.”

About: I have worked with animals for most of my life and have experience caring for a wide range of animals, from dogs to horses. I have previously worked at a dog boarding facility for two years, where I handled daily care, feeding, cleaning, and exercise. I have have also grown up on a horse farm that has a wide variety of animals. I am comfortable working with both small and large animals and have experience administering medications, including insulin injections. I currently own both a dog and a horse, so animal care is a part of my everyday life. I also have a friendly dog in the home who enjoys playing with other dogs, which helps create a comfortable and social environment for pets in my care. I am patient, reliable, and passionate about making animals feel safe, cared for, and comfortable. I currently work remotely, Monday to Friday, from the comfort of my own home. I am currently working from home during the week so I have plenty of time for outside play and walks as well as constant supervision While my yard is not fenced in, I provide long walks around the lake and possibly even swimming for those warm days and water loving dogs.
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 will give your dog(s) my undivided attention. They will be fed and taken for walks. I will engage with them throughout the day, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I will care for them just like they were my own pet. Being a dog owner myself, I understand how much they mean to their families. In case of an emergency at home or work, I will provide the necessary care for your dogs. I have a unique bond with every dog I meet and truly enjoy their company, ensuring they receive plenty of affection. In the past, I have cared for my family's dogs, feeding and walking them nearly every day. I am knowledgeable about how to handle dogs safely. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to dog-sit and walk the dogs entrusted to my care. Pet caring is one of my passion because they bring so much joy to our lives. With this being said after work I do appreciate the love my fur babies give me. I love to play and run with fur babies and I also get my weekly exercise in! I have a yard that they can run freely in.

About: Hi! My name is Deja, and I’m someone who has loved and cared for animals my entire life. I grew up with both cats and dogs and currently have experience caring for multiple pets of my own, including 4 cats and 2 dogs. Over the last 1–2 years, I’ve also gained hands-on pet care experience outside of my own home. As a therapist, compassion, patience, and attentiveness are a huge part of who I am, and I bring those same qualities into the care I provide for every pet. What makes me stand out is the level of care, patience, and emotional attentiveness I bring to animals. I genuinely see pets as beings with feelings, emotions, and unique personalities, and I treat them with the same kindness and respect I would give another person. Being a therapist has strengthened my ability to be calm, observant, trustworthy, and responsive to individual needs, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure around me. I don’t just “watch” pets — I build connection, provide comfort, and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. I recently earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and currently work part-time as a therapist while continuing to grow my caseload. Pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy and intentionally include in my schedule because caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. Since I work part time, I’m able to dedicate focused attention, patience, and quality care to the pets I work with rather than treating it like a rushed side job. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and emotional needs, so I approach each animal with compassion, empathy, and attentiveness. Whether your pet needs playtime, comfort, companionship, or gentle patience, I will treat them with the same love and care I would give my own pets.

About: I am a 33 year old disabled Army Veteran. I worked with Military Dogs during my time in the Army and I also had my own lovebugs at home. I am very experienced in obedience and basic command training, but I also give your Dog all the attention and love they need. I love taking them out for walks and playtime to get them powered out. In the Military I worked mostly with German Sheperds and Belgian Malanois, at home I gave my love to a French and an English Bulldog, so I am well aware of some of the health issues that these breeds have. Nonetheless I work well with all breeds and I am always excited to get to know New friends everywhere.

I’m currently a college student on break and work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for dog walking and pet sitting. I enjoy staying active and making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away.

“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.”

“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!”
About: I will give your dog(s) my undivided attention. They will be fed and taken for walks. I will engage with them throughout the day, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I will care for them just like they were my own pet. Being a dog owner myself, I understand how much they mean to their families. In case of an emergency at home or work, I will provide the necessary care for your dogs. I have a unique bond with every dog I meet and truly enjoy their company, ensuring they receive plenty of affection. In the past, I have cared for my family's dogs, feeding and walking them nearly every day. I am knowledgeable about how to handle dogs safely. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to dog-sit and walk the dogs entrusted to my care. Pet caring is one of my passion because they bring so much joy to our lives. With this being said after work I do appreciate the love my fur babies give me. I love to play and run with fur babies and I also get my weekly exercise in! I have a yard that they can run freely in. They will have access to my balcony for when they need cooling and some quiet.

Katie's professionalism, passion and love for the animals was evident throughout the entire experience. Highly recommend!”

“I had an amazing experience with Alaine as my dog sitter. She was highly responsive, providing daily photos and a detailed "report card" summarizing Brizo's activities and well-being during the four-night stay. Alaine took exceptional care of Brizo, and her own dog, Pasta, was a wonderful host too. I highly recommend Alaine for her attentiveness, communication, and genuine love for animals. Brizo can't wait to visit again soon!”
