“Heidi has watched my dog overnight on two separate occasions; she is very sweet with my dog and sends updates frequently. I would book her again and would recommend her to other pet owners.”
“Shiloh (my dog) really enjoyed her stay! She was well taken care of and in great spirits upon my return. Yahaira was very accommodating and great at communicating any relevant updates”
About: I've cared for dogs for 15 years, I focus on dogs 25lbs and less. I follow your dogs normal routine and send pictures updates I currently work from home on Thursday and Friday and can care for your fur baby on the weekends. I offer overnight stays and drop in visits I have a fenced in yard and a small Boston terrier that enjoys playing and walking in the park. I can keep them separate if you prefer
“Jazmine (and her boyfriend Norman) took wonderful care of our 12-year-old black Lab, Judy, who is a cancer survivor and a bit particular—sweet, but needy and not a fan of other dogs. Jazmine cared for her in her home, made sure she had her morning medicine, and sent us daily updates with snuggle photos that made us feel completely at ease. Judy was clearly loved and beautifully looked after. Warm, professional, and trustworthy—highly recommend.”
“Becky is an amazing and caring sitter! She administered oral medication to our cat with ease, was able to introduce him to her cat, and provided insightful feedback on his temperament and needs. Rest assured your fur baby will be in good hands - I can’t oversell our experience nor recommend her enough.❤️❤️❤️”
About: Small, large, & giant dogs are met with tender, loving care! I have rescued numerous animals, caring for and training them to live their very best lives. Your furbaby will be loved, and doted on while you are away. I’m available evenings and weekends during the school year, and with summers off, my availability increases! Preference during the school year is to provide evening walks, weekend sitting and walking. At home, I have a fenced yard dogs can enjoy, along with well-loved furniture that all animals are welcomed to use. I have two dogs, two birds, and a bearded dragon that make our home pawsitively loving!
About: Hello! I'm an energetic and enthusiastic individual with a HUGE love of dogs of all sizes. I love them so much that I go out of my way to say hello and pet dogs on the street (with permission, of course!). I love playing fetch, tug, and running around with dogs. I even love brushing them, so if you are in need of a good grooming for your friend, I'll raise my paw for the task! I used to have a rescue pitty, so rescues have a soft spot in my heart. I once went on a trip and slept in a bed with three super sweet rescue dogs, coming home smelling of dog...and I couldn't have been happier! I've pet-sit cats* ever since I was a child, and have also watched rabbits and a turtle. I have personally owned and cared for fish, reptiles, and a dog. I currently have a few fish and lots of plants. I have worked with a dog with anxiety and, though not a certified professional, helped train, gain trust, and saw improvement. When a client of mine was about to get a puppy, I read puppy books so that I could do my best when I cared for her and her sister. If you'd like my help with your pet, PLEASE READ MY PROFILE DETAILS FULLY BEFORE SENDING A REQUEST/MESSAGE. I will know if this has not been done and it'll save us both time if you do. I currently work from home. If house-sitting, I could stay at your house if you like, so long as I'd have strong, fast wifi and the ability to comfortably work from my computer. Whatever works for you and your pet and our combined schedules! Please note: I request scheduling a one-time Drop-In as a meet-and-greet to account for my time when we first meet. If you are out of my service area, I may discuss a fee to cover mileage for bookings. At your home, it's your rules! I like to leave a space as I've entered it: clean and as if I wasn't even there. I like playtime with pets and like to send photo updates as well as text updates (unless you need peace and quiet, which I respect, too). I do NOT sit at homes in which cameras are used upon me inside the home out of personal privacy. *Please note: I can and have cared for many cats, but am allergic. If I stay overnight at your house, I will need a cat-free zone to sleep. I do not take house-sitting requests without this zone or with more than 2 cats. I am vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19 and take CDC-recommended precautions with illnesses. If I care for your pet, please know that I may use their picture, including them being in or around your home, on my profile. If you are not comfortable with this, please discuss this with me, as I value everyone's privacy. At my home, pets will need the ability to go up and down stairs, though I can pick them up to do so if this is requested. The floors are mainly wood (tile in the kitchen); most floors have carpets on them. Dogs may need their own bed or designated place to sleep, as they are not allowed on the bed. The yard is not fenced, so leashing is a must for safety, and walking will be on town streets with potential occasional passing cars. I do not generally take dogs out in the car, but, should we need to, my car has a dog back seat cover and seatbelt (I ask that you please supply a harness in case we should need it). For boarding and day care, I request that we do our meet-and-greet at your home first so that I can see what your pet is used to and assess if I will be able to accommodate their needs. If we agree that this seems plausible, I will happily invite you to my home for your assessment so that you can feel safe knowing where your fur family will stay. I do not do boarding or day care for cats. If you'd like my care for your pet, please mention the phrase "safety is my #1 concern" in your request to me. I have been harassed by predators on Rover and take everyone's safety very seriously.
“Yuli and her family were amazing and welcomed Buddy into their family with open arms. We got tons of updates, pictures and videos and it was clear he was so happy and relaxed with them. I appreciate them so much and will definitely use her again!”
“If Joan is available, book her! Our boy immediately felt at home, and was loved and cared for so well. He was happy to see us….but was in no hurry to leave. Joan adapted everything to his needs, asked all the right questions, gave him lots of attention and kept us updated. It is hard to find the right sitter, and we will travel out of our way for Joan to sit Mac again.”
“Nicholas did an awesome job taking care of of my energetic puppy who can be a real handful! I could tell that she had a lot of fun with Nicholas and Carson and made some new friends with the other dogs who were staying there too!”
“Melissa & Angel were wonderful hosts to our American Staffie, Boo Radley. They were completely chill despite Boo's high energy entrance into their home! And they kept us connected with multiple photos video's each day of Boo's stay.”
“Very great service provided for our puppy. Anacelia communicated with us about how Harley’s day was and provided feedback when we picked her up. We will definitely be using her in the future. Thank you”
“Nikki is a lovely lady who is kind and gentle with our old lady lab. She always greets us all with a smile and welcomes our pet into her home. We are very appreciative of her kindness and warmth!”
“I don’t have enough nice things to say about Amanda! She took wonderful care of my dog while I was away for the week. She took into consideration for my dogs routine and his safety. She was very attentive to my dogs needs. He came home happy and tuckered out! 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!!”
“Melissa and her family took care of our fur baby like she was one of her own. Her home is doggie heaven with a fenced in yard, lots of treats, and cuddles on the couch. Melissa’s dogs got along great with ours and she sent us lots of pictures while we were away. Highly recommend and will use again.”
“Barbara and James were great hosts for my pup! He had a blast playing on their beautiful property and I got great updates and photos during his stay. I will absolutely reach out to them next time for another booking!”

Equasia was an outstanding host for my cat Zebra. I was very nervous since it was our first time being apart and she eased my fears every day. I received daily feedback and pictures and videos. She was always quick to respond if I asked how she was doing. Zebra and I were very happy with her loving care. She comes highly recommended by me.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mikaela ! She took such amazing care of my pup while I was away on vacation, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, she was incredibly gentle, patient, loving, and attentive. She kept me updated throughout the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind while being away. My pup was a little stressed and anxious being away from me, but Mikaela handled him with so much patience, care, and love. You can genuinely tell that she has a heart for animals and treats them as if they were her own. Knowing that my pup was in such caring hands allowed me to enjoy my vacation without constantly worrying about him. I appreciate you more than you know, mikaela! Thank you for being so sweet, understanding, and dependable. I will absolutely be booking with you again and would recommend you to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur baby. ❤️🐾 Thank you so much, Mikaela! Creed and I appreciate you! 🐶❤️
Dwright was very communicative and helpful, he responded quickly and took a very last minute booking. Navy had a great time with him and his dog!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Boarding in Allentown is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $53 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 829 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Allentown. About 92% of Allentown sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
