About: I've been around animals my whole life chickens, cats, dogs, ect and I've had my own dog for about 7 and a half years while taking care of other people's dogs and cats I'm pretty flexible with my schedule and right now, my current job schedule is 3p-11p every Friday and 3p-11p every other weekend. By the end of August I will be busy on Wednesday afternoons I have my own car so in the event of any mishap, emergency, or just a change of scenery for your pet I can provide that. I'm also very detail oriented so I ask many questions to ensure I know as much as possible about your pet so that they can be safe and happy in your absence.
About: I have been a dedicated dog dad for over 4 years. While I have experience managing a multiple dog household, I currently only have my resident German Shepherd at home during sittings. He is a "big baby" super friendly, well-socialized, and great at making guest dogs feel welcome. I live to make these 4 legged animals smile, you can be sure your pup will have a good time when I’m around! As a dedicated dog owner for over four years, I offer a safe and structured 'home away from home' for your pup. My household is perfectly set up for socialization, featuring my friendly, 'big baby' German Shepherd who loves making new friends. To ensure a calm and focused environment, my other resident dogs stay off site during bookings, allowing me to prioritize your pet’s specific needs. Whether it’s managing high-energy play, providing gentle senior care, or maintaining strict feeding and medication schedules, I provide your dog with a reliable routine filled with backyard fun, mental enrichment, and plenty of cuddles. You can travel with peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for by an experienced handler who treats every guest like family! When a doggo stays with me, they aren't just a "guest" they become apart of the family. My goal is to keep their home routine so they don't feel the stress of your absence.
About: I've worked in a doggy daycare, boarding, and training facility for four years and am still at it, and dog sat in my own home for at least a year before then. Animals are my passion and I have experience caring for cats, birds, and all breeds of dogs. I try to work around my regular job and college classes as well as other activities such as karate and homework. I am very busy, but I will always make time for animals. I will respectfully take care of your pet in your home, or out in the yard or park with whatever items are specified. I will not touch anything else.
About: I have a bit of experience with dogs from babysitting for families that have dogs! I have done cat sitting before. I have even more experience with cats as I have a sweet one of my own! I’m a loving and caring person and would love to help with your furry friends 🙂 I am very flexible with scheduling. I am available most of the day during the week and weekends as well! I’m very reliable and loyal. I am big on safety and will ensure that your pet is safe at all time. I will also make sure to keep your pet happy and playful:)

“Nina did a great job taking care of my cats! I can tell they spent quality time with my cats while I was gone and sent great pictures. They are awesome at communicating and really go the extra mile!”

About: I’m an animal lover who’s responsible and reliable. I’ve had dogs my whole life, so trust your pets are in good hands. When left with me your pet and I will go for morning runs, afternoon fetch & lots of potty chances. We also have a fenced yard where they can run/play freely. I can bathe/ groom your dog if needed If your pets need any medication I can also give them the medicine I’m experienced in doing so. Currently working from home, so I have plenty of time to play and explore with your fur baby! I'm very energetic, just what your dog needs! I have a fenced yard and friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed as well, I try to keep the environment the same as you would in your home, to cause less anxiety for your pup. I’m all about happy tail wags !
“Absolutely AMAZING! Most of the time she stayed with our dogs longer than the designated time frame and took extremely good care of them. She left detailed notes and pictures EACH and every visit!!!! It was so nice to know my dogs were in great care while we were away on vacation.”
“Dani did a fabulous job working with my dog. My dog needs someone with patience and perseverance as she gets to know you. Dani had a number of techniques she utilized in an effort to gain my dog’s trust. I highly recommend Dani to care for your pet!”
“This was my first time using Rover, so I didn't know what to expect. Will is a lovely person & my cat liked him a lot too! I was surprised to receive a daily "Report Card". This not only informed me of all the tasks that Will performed during each visit, my cat's behavior & a few photos! Will was knowledgeable of the special diet & health situation of my cat & how to apply his medicines. I could tell that he was a highly skilled Cat Sitter. He also provided excellent & timely correspondence when I was sorting out my request. I highly recommend his services to any cat or dog. He loves them all!”
About: Grew up with big and small animals. I always wanted to work with animals growing up so I’ve raised everything from tadpoles to birds. I’ve watched small and large dogs and cats for family, and love walking and caring for pets. I am a very patient person, and can tolerate even the rowdiest of animals. I have had experience caring for dogs with medical disabilities and special dietary needs. I have no problem taking active dogs on runs or to parks if that is required. Overall, I would just love to take care of pets for those in need. Currently, I work full-time Monday-Friday, 9-5 PM. I am available on most weekends and some weekdays. I would love to communicate with you about you and your pet’s needs throughout the day/weekend option. While I am not able to keep your pets in my home, I am able to come to you. I will follow your pet’s schedule thoroughly, as I know how important that is to keep up the health of your loved ones.
“Carly is the sweetest and treated Charlie & Fred with the perfect balance of structure and affection while sending us photo updates. I was traveling for work so greatly appreciated the knowledge that my boys were safe and loved, as well as getting to see photos of them playing.”
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. Caring for dogs again feels like a meaningful way to share that love. I work from home, so your dog will have consistent supervision and companionship. We do morning and evening walks, midday potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I work from home, so pets are rarely left alone and are always supervised around my toddler.

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.
Kendall was fantastic with our dog and took such great care of them. Kendall also went above and beyond by rescuing our cat after he accidentally got shut in a bedroom during the day. We had total peace of mind knowing our pets were in such attentive, caring hands. Highly recommend Kendall!
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

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.
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 .
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.
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.

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.
