“Very nice family. They provided the highest level of attention to my pet. They were versatile and adapted their schedule to accommodate our Stella. Stella loved going to stay with them.”
“Our two dogs seemed to be at ease with Megan during a four hour "day care" at her residence. They came home happy, tired and healthy. I think that's a good sign. I met her two dogs and found them to be gentle and well-behaved. Although our dogs were with her for only a four hour stay that day, she still somehow managed to get nice, little walk in for them! At this point, I feel comfortable with Megan and her ability to care for our doggies and would use her service again. She's very professional, cordial and accommodating. She provided quick responses every time I had questions. Thanks!”
“Pamela is an incredibly kind person who took such great care of my dog. I was genuinely amazed when I went to pick him up—he seemed like he wanted to stay with her, as if they’d known each other for years. It was such a profound and touching moment. I’m really grateful to have met Pamela, and I feel so at ease knowing I can trust her with my pup.”
“Thank you again, Scott! I appreciate all the pictures. I am so glad that McClane and Miss Watson are able to settle down and relax with you while I am doing chores or running errands.”
“Lori is the sweetest person I have ever met!! She was extremely kind to not only me but my dog as well. She went above and beyond and was incredibly flexible and understanding. She treated my dog like it was her own. I will always book my dog at her place because I know my dog has a great time there :)”
“Could not have asked for a more wonderful environment. Kim & her family was so welcoming and took great care of our little guy. Her home and yard were absolutely perfect for hosting your furry loved ones.”
“Equasia was fantastic and kind to me and my pup, and kept me updated all day. He came home very happy. They even brushed him and took him on multiple walks. Sent sooo many photos. I'm very happy and so is he! Would absolutely book again.”
“Roberta accepted our last minute booking which made it possible for my son and I to make a day of memories with a trip to the shore and back. Her communication throughout the long day was exceptional and she sent lots of pictures! I trusted from my first interactions with Roberta that she was the right person to leave our Marci with for the day! 10/10!”
“Dawn has been great! She was a great find for my Tahoe... I appreciate how she engages with my little girl, as well as sends numerous photos throughout the day. I have used more than a few "Rover Mom's" across the country...I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend Dawn. Thank you...”
“Kim is a loving and very attentive caregiver who gives multiple updates and photos during the time she spends with my sweet Honey. She pays attention to her signals and reacts immediately to make her feel comfortable and understood. I feel that Honey is being given excellent care in a safe and nurturing environment.”
About: As a nurse and experienced rescue volunteer, I bring a unique blend of medical knowledge, compassion, and hands-on pet care experience. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet seniors needing extra patience and support. I’m comfortable with medication administration, post-surgery care, and recognizing signs of distress. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. As the founder of a dog rescue and a stay-at-home mom, my routine is centered around caring for both animals and people. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medications, or giving extra cuddles, I make time every day to meet each pet’s unique needs. I also keep a flexible schedule to accommodate drop-ins, overnights, and last-minute bookings. Providing a safe, loving environment for animals isn’t just a routine—it’s my passion and purpose. In my home, pets are treated like family. They have a cozy, calm environment where they can relax, play, and feel safe. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walks, playing in a fenced in area and bathroom breaks, and I tailor care to each dog’s needs—whether it’s crate training, senior support, or giving extra attention to anxious pups. In clients’ homes, I follow all instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. Cleanliness, safety, and lots of love are always my top priorities—no matter where I’m caring for your pet.
About: Hi, I'm Chrystal, a new pet sitter in Hellertown with 22 years of experience owning and caring for dogs. I've cared for puppies, seniors, medication needs and dogs who need lots of love and attention. On visits, your pet gets any specific needs met along with a potty break and playtime, fresh water, and a photo update after every stay. A bit about me: I grew up with pets ranging from a pony to a fox as well as dogs and cats. As an adult, I have been lucky enough to have a Rottie, Frenchie and Boston Terrier. But no current pets at this time. I work from home full time and would love some company or chance to stretch my legs and do drop-ins I offer drop-ins, boarding and daycare. and I'd love to set up a free Meet & Greet so we can all get comfortable before booking. I can do walks or drop-ins during the day or in the mornings and evenings as needed. I'm an early riser so early visits are fine. I have no other pets in the household but do have a child in the house. Our yard is not fenced so any potty breaks would be supervised and leashed.
“We were so happy to find Beatriz as a last minute booking. She took wonderful care of our small Shih Tzu mix and sent updates with texts and photos. Her home was perfect with a fenced yard and a lovely neighborhood for dog walks. We will definitely use Beatriz again and will recommend her to others.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 351 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Emerald. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Emerald commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 351 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of PA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
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.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
