“Abigail did a fantastic job watching our critters! She was great about sending pics of Oban and Mabel, and she kept our house looking nice and clean. We would definitely have her house sit again and recommend her!”
“Laura was phenomenal. It was a last minute booking and she went out of her way to make our life easy while I’m out of town and my husband having a changing work schedule. She was an extra hand that adapted to changes quickly which we both appreciated.”
“Amanda was great with our girl! Our pup is a bit vocal and has a few quirks; like needing doors closed, a sound machine on when we’re out, and a special diet…but Amanda handled everything. Communication was easy and consistent, and we came home to a happy pup. It’s clear she really cared, and we’ve already booked her again.”
“There aren't enough wonderful things to say about Edith and my experience with her when she recently took care of my two dogs and my house for five days. From the minute I reached out to her she responded almost immediately and made me feel that she was open to help in any way. She was punctual for our 'meet and greets', and my dogs loved her the minute she came through the door. While I was out of town I was totally comfortable knowing that my dogs and everything they needed was taken care of. Edith is extremely knowledgeable about animals. Since one of my dogs is a senior, she needs extra care with meds and slower walks. Edith handled her with so much tenderness and understanding. I knew that my home and dogs were in the best hands with Edith. I cannot recommend her enough! She is exceptional. Thank you, Edith!”
About: A lifelong love of animals has led to me learning how best to care for them from a young age. I'll make sure your pets feel happy, comfortable and safe! I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, turkeys, and guinea pigs, and I'm willing to work with all animals except arachnids and insects. I wake up at around 8 every day and go to bed around 11, and I can adjust pretty easily if I need to be up earlier or later. I can mold my schedule to another routine very easily (and enjoy doing so!) and working with animals fills me with so much joy that doing the best job possible is barely a job at all. I'll meet your pet where they're at. If they don't want to be sociable, that's fine! I'll make sure they're fed and have water and they can come to me in their own time. If they want to be attached to the hip from moment one, I love that too.
“Lillie did a wonderful job caring for our dog. She kept us informed on how he was doing and their activities together. She also kept our house as clean as we left it! We will definitely ask her to care for our precious Cheo again!”
About: I love dogs and cats too, I got into dog - sitting when I first moved to Georgia and my neighbor went out of town I watched her dog while she was gone and have been dog sitting ever since. I love going out and walking dogs and playing with dogs. I make sure they feel like they are loved and with their owners when I watch animals I love making them even little treats and dinners. Also if you have specific thing your animal eats then you can count on me to make sure they have a good healthy meal, I also am good about giving them their medication. I understand how people love for their animals as if they were their children and I totally get it. You worry about them and want to make sure they are taken care of well. I myself even hate the thought of my animal being alone for over a long period of time because of work or school.
“Alanna is so good with Murphy! I think their energy levels match each other! Alanna is very active and is always doing fun activities with Murphy! I look forward to having Alanna back!”

I’ve dog sat for several different families and love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, playing outside, or just giving them lots of love and attention!

“Words do not express how grateful I am for Temi. I was a first time Rover user, for an overnight stay for 5 days. I have two dogs that vary in temperament. We originally were simply going to board our dogs at a local pet “hotel”. These plans fell through, and we decided to give Rover a try. From the moment Temi decided to accept our overnight booking, she was VERY professional and personable. She asked all the right questions to understand how to best support our two fur babies while we were out of town. Her communication is TOP NOTCH, and she continued to update us via the APP. It felt good to get pictures and videos, which confirmed our first babies were happy and well cared for. Temi is amazing because she immediately caught on to helping our younger fur baby with improving her leash manners. In today’s society it’s not always you find someone who goes above and beyond. Temi did, and I am so appreciative that she accepted our booking. She will now be our go to for any out of town visits. Thank you 🙏🏾 so much Temi!!!”
About: Dogs aren’t just my passion—they’ve been my way of life for as long as I can remember. Having raised and cared for breeds of all shapes and sizes, from tiny lap dogs to gentle giants, I understand that every pup has a unique personality and pace. As an active foster parent, I specialize in creating a calm, supportive, and safe environment tailored to your dog's exact needs. Whether your pup thrives on high-energy hikes, loves exploring neighborhood trails, or prefers gentle neighborhood strolls, I make sure every outing is safe, engaging, and thoroughly exhausting in the best way possible. When your dog stays with me, they get the full royal treatment. My home features a spacious, fully fenced yard for safe daily zoomies, alongside a comfortable, loving indoor setup where they can stretch out and relax like family. I’m currently building my full-time career around doing what I love most: providing top-tier care, safety, and endless belly rubs so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. i do currently work part time monday-friday so i am available for dog walks after 1pm and i am open friday after 1pm- sunday evening for any stay the nights i do have a fully fenced back yard, tons of room for fur babies to run. 3 fur babies of our own along with a senior cat. i have 2 senior fur babies along with a 4 year old that is great with both seniors and puppies.
About: I have been watching puppies for about four years now, my brother and his wife have had two puppies for about that long, and I play with them all the time. I give them baths, I give them treats, I absolutely adore them with all my heart, and I love them so much. Of course there are boundaries when it comes to them being bad or giving them treats! I am trying to find a side hustle to make a little bit extra money, and I absolutely adore animals, and my schedule is open all the time pretty much! most of the time I will go to my brother’s house and watch the dogs, or they’ll come to my parents, and I will still watch them! I will take them on walks play with them outside, anything.
About: Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved animals. I have always had a family pet and I currently have a sweet puppy of my own, his name is Ollie. In high school I volunteered at local animal shelters and started dog/ farm sitting for friends and family. It is one of my lifetime dreams to open up a doggy cafe and maybe even a doggy day camp. So if you ever need anyone to dog sit, walk your pups, or even just hang out with them for a little while… I am super flexible and more than willing!! I have a very flexible and remote job, so I can always find time to escape to go play with some pups! I’m available more often than not for dog/housesitting, walks, and check ins throughout the week!! My biggest concern is that your fur baby is happy and healthy. Every family is different and every dog may require different needs, I understand that and know that all too well. I am pretty flexible and up for anything to ensure your pup is living their best life. I am a big fan of communication so I will always ask questions if any situation arises. And I will keep you updated with tons of cute photos of your sweet babies.
“Leslie was great with my pup Bogey! She communicated often, sent pictures and kept me updated on everything during the stay. The house was probably better than I had left it when I got home! I will definitely use Leslie again!”
“Gina was responsive when I reached out and my pup seemed happy when I returned home. House was clean and tidy so no complaints there. Didn't really have a whole lot of communication while I was away so am assuming all was good!”

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Bethlehem walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bethlehem maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Bethlehem 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!

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
