About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, caring for animals throughout New Jersey, Philadelphia, and now Northeast Pennsylvania! 🐾 Growing up with a Boxer-Lab and a Husky sparked my love for animals, and today I’m a proud dog mom of three: two mature boys (a Terrier mix and a German/Dutch Shepherd mix) and our newest addition, a female Dutch Shepherd. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from Chihuahuas to Australian Shepherds and everything in between. I also have plenty of hands-on experience with working breeds, including Australian Shepherds, German Shepherds, and Dutch Shepherds, so I’m comfortable with high-energy, intelligent, and strong-willed pups who need extra exercise, stimulation, and patience. My animal experience goes beyond dogs, too! I’ve owned and cared for cats, farm animals, reptiles, including turtles, leopard geckos, bearded dragons, and snakes, as well as birds and small rodents. I believe pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, or specialized care, I’m happy to help make sure your furry (or scaly or feathered!) friend feels safe, loved, and cared for! My daily routine with my three dogs revolves around exercise, enrichment, consistency, and plenty of love! 🐾 All three get daily walks and lots of outdoor time to play, explore, and enjoy the fresh air together. We start the morning with a walk, followed by meals, playtime, and relaxation throughout the day. Our 7-month-old Dutch Shepherd puppy keeps me on my toes! We work on training and mental enrichment 2–3 times a day in 10–15 minute sessions to keep her mind stimulated and continue building good habits. We also incorporate sensory toys, interactive play, and plenty of positive reinforcement into our routine. One of our dogs is a service dog who spends most of his day working & getting his enrichment & play while on the road, while our Terrier mix is more of a couch potato who loves his walks, sunbathing in the yard, and relaxing with the family. We finish the day with another walk in the late afternoon and a final nighttime walk with the whole pack. My dogs enjoy two hearty meals a day, lots of cuddles, outdoor adventures, and a balance of activity and downtime. Having three dogs with different ages, energy levels, and needs has taught me how important it is to tailor care to each individual pup. I love creating a routine where every dog feels happy, stimulated, comfortable, and loved! While I don’t offer boarding in my own home, I’m happy to provide drop-in visits and house-sitting in your pet’s home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment! 🐾❤️ Drop-In Visits: I typically schedule 2–3 visits per day, depending on your location and your dog’s needs. Visits can include walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, trips to the park, and plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every household is different, and if your dogs need separate care times, individual walks, or one-on-one attention, I’m comfortable accommodating those routines. House Sitting: I can provide all the same care throughout a longer stay, helping maintain your dog’s normal schedule for meals, walks, exercise, potty breaks, and relaxation. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to keep your pets happy, safe, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I’m flexible, attentive to individual needs, and always happy to discuss a routine that works best for you and your furry family!

“Deanna was GREAT! Came to meet our dog and was immediately good with him. He is a 110 pound skittish boy and he accepted her immediately. Unfortunately he got sick the day before we left. Deanna was wonderful giving him medication unexpectedly, keeping tabs on his progress to the antibiotics, keeping us informed of how he was feeling, and even offered to take him to the vet for follow up. She communicated well with us and sent pictures. We will absolutely use her again when needed, as she kept our boy happy and safe!”
About: I have done both dog and cat sitting for multiple people over the years, in addition to volunteering with a dog rescue center during the time i lived in Mexico. Ive also done my part in rescuing and helping animals in my own time. I am an avid cat lover, but also very comfortable with all dog breeds and am sure to make sure your pets feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I work part-time in hospitality, and have a decently flexible schedule. I always have time in my day for outside time and walks. I am happy to listen to my clients' concerns on schedule needs and adjustments. We have 3 cats and a dog in my household, so i am used to the happy chaos. I know how to stay on top of feeding times, litter box cleans, and outside time. I am happy to listen to my clients specific instructions on how their pets live, and how I can make them the most comfortable during my stay.
“Paisley was very helpful throughout the entire process. She kept us informed with pictures and other updates of our dogs while we were away. She also brought in mail and left an adorable drawing of our boys to enjoy when we returned home. We will consider using her again in the future.”

About: I've been caring for dogs on Rover since 2017, and after 9 years, I've had the privilege of caring for all kinds of personalities, routines, and needs. I absolutely adore animals, and when you leave your dog with me, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. That's why I keep owners updated with plenty of photos and videos throughout their pet's stay or visit. You'll be able to see how they're doing, what we're up to, and most importantly, that they're happy and being well cared for. I'm available for house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, boarding, and daycare, depending on your dog's needs. For house sitting, I can keep your dog's normal routine as consistent as possible while you're away. For drop-ins, I can provide meals, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. And for walks, I'm happy to give your dog the exercise and enrichment they need. I also enjoy exercising myself, so energetic dogs are welcome to get some extra activity. There's a peaceful bike trail near my home that's a great place for walks, and I enjoy spending time outdoors with the dogs I care for. I'm flexible with my schedule and can accommodate longer stays when needed. I'm also happy to work with dogs who have specific routines, medications, senior-care needs, or other special requirements. Most importantly, I want your dog to have a positive experience while you're away. Whether we're going for a walk, playing in the yard, relaxing together, or simply keeping each other company, I want them to feel like they're spending time with someone they can trust. 9 years on Rover • 100+ five-star reviews • Frequent photo/video updates • Personalized care Thank you for considering me to care for your best friend! ❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate different routines, including longer stays and last-minute requests when my availability allows. A few important updates about my availability: At this time, I can accommodate a maximum of 3 dogs from the same household for boarding/daycare. I am not currently able to combine dogs from multiple households. I am also balancing my schedule with college, so I limit the number of dogs I take at one time to make sure every pet receives the attention and care they deserve. For boarding/daycare, I require a confirmed booking before arranging a Meet & Greet. This allows me to keep my home and schedule organized while protecting everyone's privacy. Please note that I do not have a car, so I am unable to provide pickup or drop-off services. Thank you for understanding, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Your dog's safety comes first. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time and stretch their legs without leaving the property. I also supervise dogs while they are outside rather than simply letting them out unattended. For boarding and daycare, I require dogs to be comfortable with crate use. Crates provide a safe place for dogs when I need to shower, sleep, run an errand, or otherwise cannot directly supervise them. I view the crate as a safety tool and want every dog to have a secure, comfortable space of their own. I'll also follow the routines and safety instructions you provide so I can care for your dog in a way that is familiar to them.
“Susan put me at ease the moment I met her. I chose Susan based on her reviews from Rover which are all 5 star reviews. Susan took the time to come visit with our dog several times before our trip. This was so important to us. My dog is very timid and weary of strangers. Susan sent daily pictures and updates which was reassuring. I came home to a very happy, healthy dog!! My house was clean and tidy which was wonderful. Susan is amazing! She stayed at my house for 16 days, allowing us peace to truly enjoy our trip. I will be using her for all future trips!! Thank you Susan ❤️”
“Maurie was great with our dog Finn for a week. She gave many updates and stuck to his routine, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. I would definitely recommend Maurie for your needs and will book again in the future!”

Nova was amazing!! She came over to meet with us and our dogs prior to us leaving and was so patient and understanding of all our concerns and requests. We have a senior dog and she needed some special attention and Nova was so accommodating. Our dogs barely noticed that we were gone because they were so loved on while we were away. Highly recommend booking with Nova.

FAQs for House Sitting - Coaldale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 547 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Coaldale. 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 Coaldale 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 Coaldale 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 Coaldale 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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
