“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.”


“This is my 2nd time entrusting Joann & Angelina with my baby. He returned home safe and sound. Thank you.”


“Chrisie was AH-MAZING!! We were in a pinch 8 hours from home and seeing how our baby weighs 162 pounds, finding a caretaker isn't the eaiest of tasks! Even with 5 dogs under 15 pounds in her home she was still willing to atleast give us a meet & greet. The meet went great and Maysen proceeded to stay with Chrisie that weekend! She treated him with Love & Gentleness that you would Not get from a kennel!! Thank you Chrisie for taking such good care of our baby and leaving is worry free! Highly recommended!!”


“Jahada is amazing!! She took such good care of my puppy and kept me up to date on her progress. I would highly recommend her to care for your pup.🐶❤️”


About: https://www.rover.com/sit/jessic48903 Hi there! I am a patient and knowledgeable all around “dog mom,” with many years of experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes and personalities. Nothing brings me more joy, then spending time with animals and I would love the opportunity to assist in any pet sitting needs you may have. I work remotely so my time and attention will be dedicated to your pet. I work remotely so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets needs. My schedule can be very flexible and I can tailor to your needs! I have a small fenced yard and a gated deck where my dogs like to sit and sun bathe. I like to take dogs on daily walks.

“tayanna was so good to my pup. She is the sweetest! She sent pictures and videos and assured this nervous mommy everything was ok. My pup went right to Tayanna and cuddled. My pup has been scared of people she doesn’t know and was 100 percent comfortable. I will be asking Tayanna to watch my pup again this month and again in November.”


About: I love animals. I always have. I don’t just think of them as animals they are family and while your pet is here they are my family too. Ohana means family and family means nobody gets left behind. I also did dog training and completed it. I just never actually got to open my own dog training program. I’m currently a stay at home mom. I do sometimes sub at my kids school. But for the most part I’m home. Means lots of time to play with your babies and give them all the attention they need. While I am able to do that I am still a mom and I do have to do things while I’m not home your baby will safely be kenneled. I have a huge yard it is not fenced but I do have a small area that is fenced. I have 2 friendly dogs that love to play. I will also be able to crate them for their safety when I’m not home.

“I cant say enough about Sairy. To see how much my dog loves her time there makes my Heart happy. She sends me videos and pictures keeping me engaged with her daily activities. She is forever Remy's keeper when I need her in the future. She luvs luvs luvs her Aunt Sairy. ❤️❤️❤️”


About: I've taken care of pets since I was young. I've always had a dog, cat or bird in my home. My current dog is a rescue. I rescued her 13 years ago and she is now 14 years old. I love all animals, but you can be assured your pet will be treated like a member of my home. They will be loved, respected and treated like royalty. I'm retired, so I have plenty of time to spend with your precious pet. I'm with my dog all day. I even take her with me when I run errands. My yard is fenced in, but I will still take your pet out on walks frequently. I have a small dog, who is the love of my life, to keep your pet company. I recently rescued 2 small dogs. A toy poodle, 2, and a Yorkie-poo, 10 months. They are a mother/daughter duo.

She was kind, caring, flexible, and amazing at watching my dog. She sent multiple daily pictures reassuring me that Alex was in great hands. I would book again with her in a heartbeat and will do so in the future. Alex has a special diet and medication, and she had no problems with his needs. Amazing care from an amazing person!”

She seems very trustworthy and genuine and i would love to have my coco board with her again . Great experience.”


About: I am an MSW student and small business owner who has been in Luzerne County for a little over two years. As a pet owner, I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family members behind when you're away. I bring over 30 years of pet ownership experience with me when I come to care for your pets. I love hiking and exploring the outdoors and also love a day on the couch watching movies. I no have issues hitting a 10 mile trail with an energetic dog or spending the day watching Star Wars with a docile cat. I have a dog and a cat of my own and nothing in the world makes me happier than spending time with them. I am excited to bring the same energy to your dogs and cats! I am open and available and have a very flexible schedule. I would prefer to set up bookings with about 1-2 weeks of advance notice. Any earlier and I might already be booked. Any further out is too far in advance for me to commit. I am currently focusing the bulk of my time on an online grad school program. I can bring my work with me when needed. I am basically available 24/7. I understand how tough it can be to invite a stranger into your home to care for your pets. As a pet owner myself, my aim is to follow your precise instructions and make sure all of your pet's needs are met. My dog is getting up there in age and requires daily oral medication. She also isn't a fan of taking her pills. I am no stranger to coming up with inventive ways of getting my pets to take their medicine.

“Donovan was amazing with Kai - we had just moved to the area and were looking for a new sitter, and were incredibly grateful to have connected with him. He was very communicative before & during the stay, and took great care of our pup! I would happily trust him with Kai again, and would recommend his care to others.”

“I have been looking for a quality dog sitter for several years and I finally found one. Natalie is a gem! I have a large, sweet, anxious dog and in the past she has come back from sitters a nervous wreck, sometimes taking a week or so to get back to normal (with diarrhea sometimes). I pick up my pooch this morning after a week away and she was her happy, calm self with normal poo! Looks like my dog had a great week. Natalie knew just what to do with a nervous dog and gave me regular updates throughout the week. She even gave my dog a bath! I highly recommend Natalie.”
