About: My family has had pets my entire life, including large breed dogs such as huskies and bully breeds, cats, reptiles, and amphibians. I frequently pet sit for family and friends, which ranges from stopping in for potty breaks on a long work day or in-house pet sitting for up to a week at a time. I am a freelancer so my schedule is super flexible and I am looking forward to making your fur babies a consistent part of it! I follow client instructions to the T: always on time, no unapproved snacks (no need for upset bellies!), and following the pets' lead when they take a little extra time to warm up

I have experience with dogs of all sizes—from small breeds to large, high-energy pups—as well as both trained and untrained dogs. I’m patient, adaptable, and comfortable handling different personalities, whether your dog needs structure, extra guidance, or just a fun, active walk. I also have a soft spot for cats and understand that each one has their own unique personality. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or independent, I take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable while keeping their routine consistent. Safety and trust are always my top priorities.

“I was going to be longer then expected and didn’t want to leave my new puppy in her crate for so long. I reached out to Emma last minute to see if she was able to take my new puppy out for a walk/potty and she was able. Emma was great and very kind. She sent me pictures and update. She brought peace of mind and I didn’t feel bad leaving Cookie so long. Emma thank you for your help.”

About: Hi! I’m Maria, a lifelong dog lover and work-from-home mom to two teens and a toddler. We recently lost our beloved dog, and our home feels a little quieter without paws around.

About: Dog owners will definitely love the fact that I am dog owner myself and equipt to most dogs.

My animals ranged from a whole lot of fish to 6 guinea pigs to a bird to 3 dogs. Currently raising two 12 week old puppies. So I am a animal person. I would say that I am home all day to take care of my two small pups Max and Brody. I do have a good amount of time with each dog I am taking care of at the time. I would say my specials skills with animals are I try to talk to them and also try to calm them down. I do have a part time job that work the evenings mon-wednesday, Friday- Saturday schedule so I am limited at night, but during the day I can provide care for any pet here on Rover. I would make sure that everything they are taken outside that if you would have a gate that it would be closed and locked and also help secure a nice play area for the pet.

He did very well taking care of our dog Pebbles especially after we lost our oldest dog the day before he visited. Pebbles truly loves him and I could see she bonded with him well, he's a very kind dog sitter and was attentive to Pebbles. Will always recommend!
Casey was available last minute for check-ins on my dog while I was in the hospital. She put me at ease during our meet-and -greet and Joy really liked Casey too 💛 Casey is great at communicating and will definitely have her help me again when the need arises.
Absolutely amazing sitter. Will is an amazing communicator and incredibly professional. You can tell he really loves animals. He leaves detailed notes on the Rover cards and mentions even the smallest thing you might want to know about your pet. Will absolutely be contacting him in the future

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Allentown choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Allentown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
