About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I have experience caring for pets with different routines and personalities, and I know how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a slower, cozy day, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. I’m dependable, patient, and will always care for your pets like they’re my own — plus you can expect plenty of photo updates along the way! I’m currently full time as a radiologic technologist with St. Luke’s. I normally work Tuesdays & Wednesdays 8-4p, Mondays & Thursdays 8-8p. If a Thursday or Monday is needed I could rearrange my schedule to accommodate if needed. Fridays I’m off and I’m available Saturday’s and Sundays when given enough notice. ☺️ When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely while making sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their own environment, so I work to create a calm, safe, and positive experience while you’re away. I also make sure your home is treated respectfully and kept clean and secure. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pets are happy and well cared for.
About: Hi! I’m Jen, a lifelong dog lover with a soft spot for rescues and senior pups. I recently said goodbye to my own dog, Eric, a golden mix I rescued at one year old and was lucky to have for almost 15 years. Caring for him through every stage of life gave me deep experience, patience, and a genuine understanding of what dogs need to feel safe, loved, and happy. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, companionship, and timely care, never rushed or left alone for long stretches. I truly miss having a dog around for daily walks, company, and that quiet joy dogs bring to everyday life, and pet sitting has been a wonderful way to share that love again. I’m active and enjoy walks that match your dog’s energy level, whether that’s a relaxed stroll or something a bit more adventurous. I also volunteer with a nonprofit called Hauling Hopes, which has further strengthened my comfort with different dog personalities and needs. I care for pets as if they were my own, keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to feeding, walks, playtime, and medications, and I closely monitor behavior and wellbeing. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, pets get plenty of attention, companionship, and timely potty breaks. I’m always happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Joan was great! She checked in on our 2 dogs while we did a day trip to Maryland. She was great about communicating and sending me updates & pictures. My dogs loved her!”
“Eren and Luca are great ! Felt so reassured that our cats were getting great care , the senior boys need some extra attention and they were great . Communication was spot on and pictures were wonderful. Will definitely use them again”
About: I have loved and taken care of dogs all my life. I’ve had dogs from puppies to seniors and understand how to care to all their needs. Along with that I take the time to really get to know each dog on their own and establish a connection so that each party is happy. I currently work a full time job. However I work from home so that allows me to be flexible with my time and always there to attend to the dogs. I have a fenced in yard and a dog of my own to give your fur baby’s company. The dogs can free roam around the house but I’ll always make sure I can see them. If preferred to be caged that is also possible.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats since I was 16 & before then we have always had pets in my family. I love & cherish animals & make sure they get what they need. I am currently working part time so I have a lot of free time to play/walk/feed any animals as needed. I am pretty much free any time as long as I have a days notice I care for my pets at home like they are my children. Make sure they get all the attention they want when they ask for it & make it easier on my older dogs. I’ve just built a ramp for my girlfriends dog to get in & out of bed easier & make sure she eats at a routine that she is used to with her meds included
“Nina was wonderful! Kept me updated the whole time and sent great pictures. I could tell my cats were well taken care of by the way they greeted me at the door. Will be working with Nina again!!”

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.
About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every dog like my own. I currently have two dogs cooper and teddy. Teddy lives with me but cooper does not .I grew up with a family dog, and have experience dog sitting for my grandparents and in-laws , so I’m very comfortable with all types of personalities and routines. I have also worked with senior dogs, so I understand the extra patience and care older dogs need. I’m reliable, attentive, and big on communication—I’ll keep you updated so you always feel at ease. Whether it’s helping a puppy stick to a routine or giving an older dog extra comfort, I adjust to what each pet needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work 8–4 Monday- Friday so outside of those hours I am home and fully available to give pets attention, exercise, and care. I love being active—going on walks, hikes, and trips to the park with our dogs, I also have a dog park at my apartment complex, and my dog loves it there —so any pet in my care will get plenty of exercise and engagement. I also make sure pets stick to their normal feeding, potty, and routine schedule so they feel comfortable and at home. 🐾 I care for pets like they’re part of my family and always try to keep their routine as normal as possible. In my home, they’ll get lots of attention, playtime, walks, and a safe, comfortable space to relax. I follow feeding schedules closely and make sure they get plenty of exercise and love. In a client’s home, I respect your space and stick to your pet’s usual routine so they feel secure. I’ll handle feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m very attentive to behavior and comfort, and I always keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.

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.
