Meet Koda's Helpers Thank you for visiting our website. Below you can find a little more information about the Koda Care Service staff. Each of our pet sitters will make sure your loved ones get the one on one they deserve. Debra Schwartz 
Let's start with a little bit about my pack. I have two dogs and two cats named Koda (Samoyed), Kalista ( Siberian Husky), Tales (Maine coon) and Hera (Siamese mix). From a young age I've had a strong passion for animals and have taken and every opportunity to be actively involved in their well being. Over the past several years I've worked in the veterinary field and gained experience with routine procedures such as: humane animal restraint, nail trims and administering vaccines. I am certified in pet first aid. I am a full time pet sitter in the Poconos and loving my career choice! Every pet sitting and dog walking is another chance to care for a furry friend.

While I've always loved animals, I've become much more involved since Koda Care Service started up. The well-known Koda Bear was initially supposed to be a foster but within 10 minutes, I was head over heels in love with his Samoyed smile. Since then I've been working to improve as a calm assertive pack leader. In case you're wondering, yes, I am a huge Dog Whisperer (Nat Geo) fan and Cesar Milan is an idol in my eyes.

A history of caring for animals from baby fawn to wild birds has led her to work with Koda Care Service. Beatriz is an animal lover through and through and always happy to work with dog walking or pet sittings. Val Nygard 
My daughter Sarah is 11 years old and my son William is 7. I have 2 dogs, 6 cats and 1 rat! I'm a Certified Veterinary Technician and currently work for a local Veterinary Hospital. I have experience caring for, and handling most species of animals and truly enjoy being around them all day at work and home!! I am looking forward to meeting new furry friends and their families with Koda Care!

I have a plethora of animals including but not limited to: a one eyed cat, a three legged cat, and a special chihuahua. I have a soft spot for special needs animals, and have collected most while working for an animal emergency clinic. I am originally from California and have been a veterinary technician for almost 7 years. I'm very excited to meet new pets and gain more furry friends! Jennifer Bartelson 
I’ve had a love of animals since a child. Initially, I became involved in the human medical field for over 10 years. I was fortunate to enter the veterinary medicine field many years ago and have gained valuable experience and education in the veterinary field. I love everything about veterinary medicine, especially the pets and people I meet. My love of animals does not end daily with my job at a local veterinary hospital, but continues through volunteering with a few local animal rescues. I am always willing to lend a paw to a pet in need. I have 5 cats of my own now and a hamster, but have had many animals over the years (even scaley pets). I am experienced with a variety of pet and animal care ranging from domestic pets to snakes and lizards. I have also been known to help with wildlife rescues when needed. I also have ample experience with cat grooming, which I started on my own animals. I am more than willing to help groom and trim a kitty in the comfort of their own home. I love every aspect of animal care and I am very fortunate to now be a part of the Koda Care Team! I hope to meet you and you furry friends soon! Janette Gonzalez

Koda Care Pet Sitting is my top priority. Some say that every dog has his day but I think every day should be for the dogs. With one paw up, I solemnly swear to give my best effort to ensure that all pets in the care of Koda Care Pet Sitting are happy, comfortable and safe. |
