“This was our first trip away on vacation and leaving the dogs for any extended time. Amy went above and beyond to keep us reassured with daily updates, pictures and videos! When we returned home, they were both so relaxed and comfortable! Amy prepared special healthy treats, and their diet and meds were given per instructions! She spent so much time playing with the dogs! Our dogs were so happy and our home was clean! We truly could not have enjoyed ourselves without her care for our pups! We will book her again soon! *****”

“I am so happy I reached out through Rover to Joshua. I have two large dogs and one of them has endless energy, two large cats, a leopard gecko and 10 chickens. Kind of last minute, I decided to take a quick weekend trip. My younger dog is a handful and I was worried that I would not find the person to understand and care for my puppy and all the others. Then I contacted Joshua. Punctual, polite, knowledgeable about breeds and specifics and best of all!?!? Finn likes him. I had a wonderful trip. Joshua sent photos and videos and kept me updated on how everything was at home. He stayed at my home and also hous sat for me. Joshua kept the house the way I keep it. He made ire to collect my mail and some medicine that was accidentally shipped and needed to be refrigerated. I would highly recommend Joshua for both house sitting and keeping a bunch af what most people would refer to as a group of large animals. Thank you Joshua!!!”

“Khalaya is a very sweet person and took excellent care of my two dogs and cat. This was the first time I've hired someone to come take care of my animals, but she put me at ease when I met her. My dogs were excited to meet her and I felt comfortable leaving them with her for the weekend. She sent me pictures and a video of them while we were gone and they looked relaxed. I'm surprised my cat came out to meet her, but there's photographic evidence that she did! When we returned, our animals were happy and well cared for. They were happy to see us, but there is no doubt in my mind that they enjoyed getting tons of attention while we were away. I would absolutely have her back the next time we travel! Thank you Khalaya!”

He sent daily updates with pictures and videos and had wonderful communication throughout our trip which put my mind at ease while away.

Bryce broke right through those and the two were buddies by the end of the first day! He's so kind and compassionate, and followed my instructions to a T on how to care for Larry, and sent updates and pictures every step of the way! I will 100% call Bryce again the next time we go out of town.”

“Hands down, Guinevere has been the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She responded in a very timely manner, kept us updated on how our three dogs were doing and sent many pictures. Two of our dogs normally go on a hunger strike when we leave, but this was no problem with Guinevere there. She even won over our crabby dog! House was left cleaner than when we left. We’re excited to book with Guinevere again in the near future.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for family, friends, and Rover for years and am excited by every opportunity I get to spend with them! I've been a dog owner myself for over 5 years. I can easily adjust my sitting style for dogs with a lot of energy or ones that are a little more relaxed. I am happy to sit in and give belly rubs or take them out on a long walk with me! My home has a fenced in backyard and there are plenty of places to walk near me. I typically work full time during the week at a non-profit theatre, I'm always happy to meet in person before we make final arrangements. I love taking care of dogs and I'd be happy to spend some time with the dog in your life!

“This was the second time Andy watched our dog, Teddy, and once again he exceeded our expectations. Teddy is a young, very energetic golden retriever who needs a lot of exercise and attention. Andy stayed overnight at our house for 10 days while we were out of the country, and he took excellent care of Teddy the entire time. Andy handled all of Teddy’s routines perfectly, giving him his breakfast at 6 am and dinner at 6 pm each day. He also made sure Teddy got plenty of playtime, attention, and daily walks—which is no small task for such a hyper pup! We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog who clearly got lots of love while we were away. One of the things we really appreciate about Andy is his communication. While we were traveling, he sent us daily updates and lots of photos, which gave us total peace of mind. It’s clear that Andy really cares about the dogs he sits for, and he makes sure you know your pet is in good hands. We highly recommend Andy to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful sitter—especially if you have a dog who needs extra activity and attention. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!”

About: Had my first pet at a young age and I have always shown them love and attention. Love how much they just want to be Love and be Loved. Work part time and have lots of time to Pet Sit. Very flexible with my schedule and this is something that will be perfect for me to do as I love and do well with our Fur Family. I've got a yard with fence around it and for my cats they have a cat litter box on each for so they have easy access to it. I'm very attentive to making sure their cat litter gets scooped up daily to keep them happy, healthy and comfortable.

About: Hi! My name is Aniya, and I've been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with two dogs of my own, which taught me from an early age the importance of patience, responsibility, and providing loving care to our furry family members. Over the years, I've had experience caring for both young, energetic puppies and senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive approach. I'm comfortable adapting to each dog's unique personality, routine, and needs to help them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. I also have experience caring for a dog with epilepsy and allergies, so I understand the importance of following care instructions carefully, administering medications when needed, and being attentive to changes in a dog's behavior or health. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I genuinely love spending time with them. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having a companion nearby, I'll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own and give you peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I am a licensed esthetician and work on a commission-based schedule, which allows me to have a great deal of flexibility. As long as I am given at least one week's notice for requested dates and times, I can typically accommodate your pet care needs. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and committed to providing the best possible care for your pets. Your dog's comfort and safety are my top priorities. I live in a quiet townhouse community with plenty of open green space for walks, potty breaks, and outdoor time. While the area is not fenced, all outdoor activities will be closely supervised and dogs will remain safely leashed at all times. My home is pet-friendly, calm, and free of other pets, allowing your dog to receive my full attention without the stress of unfamiliar animals. I live with my mom and a male roommate, and all members of the household are adults but I will be the only person caring for your pup in the household. There are no children in the home, creating a peaceful environment where your pup can relax and feel comfortable. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a cozy place to unwind, I'll provide plenty of love, attention, and care to help them feel right at home while you're away.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better house / pet sitter! I was out of state visiting family for the weekend, and having someone so reliable and attentive in my home gave me total peace of mind. Knowing both my babies (cat and dog) were so well cared for allowed me to truly relax and enjoy my trip without a worry. I loved receiving regular updates and photos throughout the weekend—it was nice to see my pets happy and comfortable in their own home while I was away. My home was left in wonderful shape, and both of my pets were clearly loved and spoiled. This is the first time I have used Rover for pet sitting and it worked out well. I will book again if needed and highly recommend her for services anyone looking for caring and trustworthy pet care!”

About: Having grown up with dogs and pet-sat for close friends for years, caring for animals is a true passion of mine. You can count on me to treat your dog with the exact same love, attention, and dedicated care that I would give my own. As a remote OCD therapist, I have a flexible schedule with free mornings for dog walks. Since I work from home in the evenings, your dog gets plenty of daytime attention, consistent companionship, and attentive care. With extensive hands-on experience in dog sitting and daily walking, I treat every pet in my care with the exact same love, safety, and attention I would give my own. To me, your dog isn’t just a pet—they are family, and their comfort and happiness are always my top priorities.

Our regular sitter wasn't available so I was nervous about finding someone new to stay in our home with our feline brood. I found Amy and was immediately calmed. Amy is conscientious about house duties and warm and loving with our kitties. She was patient with my standoff-ish girl and medically challenged old man. She sent daily updates and pics and was flexible with her schedule. We really appreciate being able to rely on someone so responsible and caring.

We're so thankful we found Robert! As a bit of a neurotic pet parent, and with a whole bunch of special circumstances, we were worried we'd have a hard time trusting anyone to take care of our babies. From the first meet and greet we got a great sense of comfort from Robert, and even the dogs were comfortable with him almost immediately. He was able to take care of our paralyzed 19-year old and kept our other two separate due to behavior issues. We couldn't be happier and would 100% recommend Robert!

Crystal stayed with my dog and cat for a week while I recovered from surgery. She did a great job, sent frequent photos and updates, and walked Tucker several times each day. This allowed me to recover without worrying about my pets. The dog warmed up to Crystal right away. Sammy the cat, however, tends to be aloof and Crystal said he was friendly only at dinner time. Now that I have found Crystal I’m going to think about some vacation time after I fully recover.

We had such a wonderful experience with Sarah! Our cat is very shy and usually takes a long time to warm up to people, but she was so patient, gentle, and caring throughout the stay. The regular photo updates meant so much to us and really helped us relax while we were away. It was clear our cat felt safe and comfortable in her care, which is not easy to achieve with a shy cat. We came home to a happy, well cared for cat and a house that was just as we left it. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a warm and trustworthy house sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bethlehem

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Bethlehem on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,429 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bethlehem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Tip: 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!

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.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bethlehem. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
