“Heather watched our 2 dogs and cat for our wedding day and I couldn’t say enough amazing things! This was the first time we ever had someone else take care of them while we were gone. Usually my parents do, and so I was nervous to say the least. Heather exceeded all my expectations! She loved our animals like her own, they loved her and felt so comfortable with her, she sent me updates, listened and followed all our instructions for what to do, and gave me peace of mind to enjoy my big day! I highly highly recommend Heather!! She was the greatest and we definitely plan to use her again in the future.”
“What a great first time experience on Rover with William and his wife. We were able to fully relax on our vacation knowing that Karli was in such good hands. Everything was very professional and the communication was excellent.”
“Jillian was a fantastic choice to watch our dog and we couldn't be happier with her care. Our dog had a great time while we were gone, she was very well cared for, and we were frequently kept up to date with updates and pictures throughout the week. She was also very easy to work with and very accommodating of ours/the dog's needs. I would absolutely recommend Jillian for anyone in need of a sitter!”
“Nicole was able to accommodate our last minute request when our previous arrangements fell through. She is friendly and knowledgeable with pets. She provided updates and sent us pictures of the fur babies. We will be having her watch our crew again for sure!”

I will care for your fur babies, both cats or dogs in your home. I have also cared for hamsters, fish, chickens, and watered plants.
“We cannot say enough great things about Andrew! His amazing care for our furry kids and home was top notch!!! Our furry kids were so relaxed when we got home! He sent numerous photos throughout his entire stay and is a true animal lover. Wish we could give 100 stars!”
“Peg was fantastic to work with and we will be using her again for all future trips. She took the time to meet with us prior to the trip so that she could get to know us and our pets and also give us the opportunity to ask her questions. She was knowledgeable and detailed and really cared about what we were looking for in a dog sitting experience. She took pictures every day to let us know how everything was going and really helped us with peace of mind during our trip. The pups both loved her and she left the sweetest dog bone message for us when we returned!”

About: Hi my name is Michael. I am a current senior at Wilkes who is looking to get involved in the local community. I have spent several years caring for dogs. I have two of my own at home in Stroudsburg (pit mixes), and in high school and over breaks I have pet sat and walked dogs for over a dozen homes in my community. I take pride in being a student leader and a future educator, as well as being responsible, dependable, and knowledgeable. For instance, I am well versed in dog body language, basic obedience, and many different breeds and personalities (small to big, guardian breeds, I love them all!). I am happy to reinforce the rules, expectations, and training that you have with your pet, or teach small new things like leash manners. Whether your dog needs to burn some energy, or just needs someone to check in on them throughout the week, I hope that you will consider me! Being a college student, my schedule is actually pretty flexible. I am generally available for: Morning/Midday walks/check-ins throughout the work week. Afternoon and evening visits on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Weekend stays or longer visits potentially as well. If you have any questions please reach out and I can see if we can work something out! Being a pet parent myself, I understand the varying needs and concerns when it comes to a pet sitter. Because of that, I take time to speak with all owners about expectations, routines, and how they would like me to approach their home and pets. I usually like to meet all pets with the owners before beginning care as well, simply to ensure that they are comfortable with me. Generally, I will also take notice and respond to any body language or comfort concerns, exercise and training expectations, feeding and medication routines, and any other requests that an owner or pet may bring! If you have any questions please also reach out!
“We had a great experience with Deanna while we were away for 5 nights! Leaving our two pups, Dino and Ghost, is never easy but knowing they were in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind. What stood out to us was how quickly Ghost, usually slow to warm up to new people, felt comfortable. That’s a huge deal for us as pet parents! Deanna was calm, patient, and clearly has a special way with animals. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs, and our home was just as we left it. We truly appreciated the updates and communication while we were away, and it’s clear our pups were loved and well taken care of the entire time. Highly recommend and would welcome Deanna back anytime! 🐾”

I pay very close attention to detail and I will make sure your dog is well cared for! My dog is on a strict diet and I make sure to follow it no matter what. My fur baby has tons of toys and puzzles and lick mats, he has more stuff than I do!
“Renee is a gem. I almost don’t want to give her a good review so no one snatches her up! But here I am doing the right thing. Super sweet and clearly loves my dogs who get along great with her. Will definitely be booking with her any time I’m going away!”
About: What Sets Me Apart 🐕 What sets me apart is the experience and care I bring to every pet I watch. I have five dogs of my own, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m comfortable caring for both playful puppies and senior pets who may need a little extra patience, attention, or assistance. Whether your pet needs help with their routine, extra playtime, or simply some good company, I’m happy to give them the care and attention they deserve. My Schedule 🗓️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet care throughout the week. I’m available full-time on Sundays and Mondays. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, I’m available after 5:00 PM. Wednesdays are a little later in my schedule, with availability beginning around 9:00 PM. I’m happy to work with your pet’s schedule and find a time that works best for everyone! I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. Whether they’re in my home or yours, I follow their normal routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they get the care they need while you’re away.
“I cannot recommend Syd highly enough! She stayed at my home for two weeks while I was away and took amazing care of my Leo. From the moment I left, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She kept me updated, gave Leo plenty of love, attention and care, and treated him like he was her own. Not only did she take wonderful care of Leo, but she also looked after the fish, watered my plants, and kept my house in great shape. Coming home to a happy dog and a well-cared-for home was such a relief. She went above and beyond in every way, and I would absolutely book her again. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, Syd is the one!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Hazleton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 254 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hazleton. 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 Hazleton 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 Hazleton 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 Hazleton 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.

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.
