About: I have had a wide range of experience caring for a variety of pets ever since I was a young child. I have taken care of dogs and cats for over a decade. Your pet will have all the attention and care they need during their time with me or in my home. I work Monday to Friday with weekends off. I am able to care for them before and right after work, with family home during the day as well. I care for pets by feeding them their proper diet, playing with them/making them feel welcome, making sure their bathroom needs are met, and updating the owners.
“Meena has been an absolute god-send to me & more importantly our dog Jackson. Meena truly cares and her approach is professional & loving. Her communication is timely and I really appreciate that our dog, who is visually impaired and a diabetic. is so well cared for when being watched by Meena. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life including 4 dogs of my own, local neighbors dogs and overnight care and drop ins for my friends dogs My schedule is fully open to stop by and take care of your dogs. I can do drop ins, take your dog to the park, and take them for short or long walks. I will care for your dog like they are my own. Lots of love, lots of walks, and lots of attention. Dogs deserve the world.
“Amia is a very professional cat sitter. She provided all affection , love and care to our Simba cat during the visits. I received all updates regularly. I will definitely go ahead with her upcoming visits.”
About: As a dedicated pet lover with experience caring for both dogs and my own three cats, I understand that every pet has unique needs and deserves personalized attention. I provide dependable, loving care that includes feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and plenty of affection. I take the time to follow each pet's routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I'll care for your pets as if they were my own and keep you updated always! I work full-time but in the summer I am off completely and have plenty of free time. During the week, I am done at 3pm and have the entire night to take care of your pets! I always make your pet's comfort and routine my top priority. In your home, I'll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, fresh water, medication (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I know pets are happiest when their routine stays consistent, so I'll make sure they feel safe and cared for while you're away. In my home, we follow the same routine daily to keep my cats on the same schedule.
“Ruth is the best. She is so reliable and good with our cats. I feel comfortable with having her do the difficult things like medication to giving them love while we’re away. And I love seeing the pictures.”
About: I have much experience with pups! From corgis to golden retrievers to Bernese mountain dogs, I have cared for dogs dating back 5 years. I enjoy playing with them, taking them on walks, and making sure they have everything they need while you are away!! 🥰❤️ I currently work full time, but have flexible hours as some weeks I have plenty of time during the week and weekends. Pretty open to any hours as long as I'm off!! I will make sure your dog is cared for and played with while I walk them and/or are with them!! 😆 Whether it's taking them out for the bathroom, walking around, or just keeping them company.
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I currently have three dogs of my own and have cared for seven dogs throughout my life. From 2020–2023, my family and I have fostered puppies through an animal rescue, giving me hands-on experience caring for puppies and learning to work with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve also volunteered at adoption events and continue to help out when I can. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with energetic puppies, dogs who need extra attention, and pups who simply want lots of love and companionship. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I am currently working part-time as an structural engineering intern. Evenings I will always be available and certain days I am available as well during the day including weekends! I am very flexible and willing to discuss further! I am an extremely loving and caring pet owner! Growing up I have always been surrounded by dogs as well as working with young children at a daycare for numerous years throughout college. With my experience I am someone who is attentive and patient with any scenario I may be put in. My dogs are family and I will care for anyones pet the exact same way I would care for my own!
About: I have owned a couple of dogs, along with caring for families and neighbors animals. I have experienced caring for animals with medical issues as well. I am a new mom looking for some extra work where I can bring my little one with me. I have a very flexible schedule. I will treat you home as I would want mine to be treated!! Any rules given will be followed and if your pet could talk they would ask where I am to play when I am not there ◡̈
“Alex was great with taking care of Cooper! She was reliable and easy to work with! She also kept us informed with check-ins and photos. It was wonderful to be able to relax on vacation knowing our pup was in good hands!”
About: I loved growing up with a dog so much, so after college I joined Rover and started pet sitting + walking. I gained 10 years experience (walking, boarding, and sitting) through apps like Rover, Wag!, and Trusted Housesitters, and connections. I I am always around animals whether at home with my one eyed dog or at a pet sit + drop in. I am comfortable with most dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for them. When I have a sit or drop in, I will dedicate my time to loving and supporting them. I would love to support their routine and activities, where they can get plenty of pets, affirmations, play time, and any necessary medication, while you're away. I have experience with administering injections, oral meds (pills + liquid), diapers, and specific conditions like early IVDD, seizures, anxiety, no teeth, one eye, and hip dysplasia. I've looked after puppies to seniors, and breeds like english/french/american bulldogs, labs, dachshund, mini poodle, cavapoo, pit mixes, boston terriers, newfoundland, and irish wolfhound to name a few. I'm currently a pet sitter full-time, so I can offer my complete attention to the care of your animal(s). My availability is updated often for sits and drop-ins. I'm very comfortable with short and long term sits after pet sitting across Europe last year. I care for pets with a decade of pet care experience. That means preparation prior to bookings, taking notes on their needs + care, asking necessary questions, maintaining their daily routines, respecting your personal spaces, and offering clear communication + updates through your preferred method. My goal is to support your pet's well-being as well as your peace of mind. I understand the trust it requires to allow another to take care of your pet + home.
“Boryana was very attentive to our kitties and made time to play with them. We appreciated the detailed updates and pictures. She took care of everything and made us feel at ease while away from our fur babies.”
About: I have been trusted to take care of multiple dogs over the past several years, as I am the go-to contact for family and friends! I also owned a dog for 12 years myself. I work full time, but I am available before or after my job or in between meetings when I WFH! My WFH days may change occasionally. I am very thorough with any feeding, walking or house instructions. I will make sure your pet is satisfied and loves me before I leave!
About: Ever since I was a little girl i've always been the designated pet sitter when family or friends would go on vacation and I've gained so much experience throughout the years I have a lot of availability now since I graduated and I adore animals so I figured i'd use some of my time to do what i love which is being with animals, Im so excited to start this journey! I always make sure any pet that I am caring for has 100% of my attention and I will go above and beyond to make sure your animal is safe, happy, and healthy
About: I've had dogs since I was 14 and have taken care of them for family and friends over the years. That includes small and big dogs, young and old. Dogs in general seem to be drawn to me. I'm currently working part-time so that gives me more time to care for your pets and give them the attention they need and deserve. The best thing I can do is make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible while you're away. I do that by keeping them in their same routine everyday and giving them a lot of attention.
“James was great during drop-in visits with our two cats! His rover cards were very thorough, and he was easy to communicate with. Even our cat who is shy around strangers felt comfortable and wanted pets from him by the end of his time caring for them. I will definitely rebook with him in the future!”

Another great experience with Meena. She was available for a Friday night and Saturday am/pm drop in schedule. My dog Cocoa is a total diva and now on a special diet. Meena followed the feeding instructions and treated Cocoa with patience and care. I look forward to working with her again. Thanks, Meena!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Allentown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Allentown. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
