About: While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to pet care! I've been providing loving pet care for over 25 years and professionally walking dogs for the past two. I currently run a local dog walking business, providing dependable, personalized care for several dogs on a regular basis. Caring for animals is my true passion, and I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I live in the Hellertown–Bethlehem area with my husband, our two cats, and our chinchilla. We even volunteered with the rescue organization where we adopted our cats! Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I love building lasting relationships with pets and their families. ☀️ Weekday Dog Walks (My Specialty) I specialize in regular, recurring weekday dog walks for busy pet parents. Whether you work long hours, commute, or simply want your dog to enjoy some extra exercise and attention, I'm here to help! I provide dependable, personalized walks with plenty of exercise, fresh air, and affection. You can count on me to arrive on time and provide updates and photos after every visit. 🐾 Experience You Can Trust I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, including: • Puppies & Energetic Dogs: Regular potty breaks, exercise, and consistent routines. • Small to Large Breeds: Confident, attentive handling and safe, enjoyable walks. • Senior & Special Needs Dogs: Gentle pacing, extra patience, medication administration, and attention to individual needs. 🏡 Drop-In Visits & Cat Care In addition to dog walking, I offer drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. Whether you're working late, traveling, or need someone to check in on your pet, I'll make sure they receive the feeding, playtime, companionship, and attention they deserve while staying comfortable in their own home. I am a full-time dog walker and pet sitter, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I currently provide regular dog walks and pet-sitting visits and can often accommodate different schedules throughout the week. I enjoy getting outside for walks and spending time giving pets the exercise, attention, playtime, and companionship they need. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority. I carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care they may need. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, large and small dogs, cats, and pets with special needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Bryce was FANTASTIC with my dog Larry!! Larry was a rescue and is definitely afraid of a lot of things and people, and has some attachment issues. 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.”
About: I’ve grew up around German shepherds since I was 5 and I’ve always found to love just playing and taking care of them. I am good with taking care of dogs with high energy and even anxious dogs as well. Im very patient to each and every dogs needs and that not every dog needs the same care. My goal is when you see your dog again they feel happy, safe and loved while I’m caring for them I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and can also provide care on weekdays, especially after 12 PM. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I have a safe and welcoming home where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I have one older, friendly dog who is used to being around other animals. Since my yard isn’t fenced, I make sure pets are always supervised outside and safely leashed when needed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and crate time if needed. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care.
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!
“Carlina kept me up to date daily, gave my dog extra walks and managed her medication with no issues. Thank you, Carlina for taking good care of Sarah and staying with her at our home!!”
“Crystal is great! She recently stayed with our pups for 5 days and took great care of them and our home. She just did a few drop on visits for us too. She is reliable and experienced and the pups approve:). We look forward to using her again!”
“David R. Is by far the finest Dog Sitter I have encountered in my 30+ years as a pet owner. David cared for my two French bulldogs, Alma and Jessup, for five nights while I attended a conference. David sent comprehensive daily updates along with adorable pictures of my pups. He promptly responded to any questions and all inquiries! I would recommend David to anyone looking to pamper their pets!”
“Justina has housesat for us twice now (once for about two weeks and once for a weekend) and watched my two pups and cat. She’s done an awesome job, kept us informed, sent pictures, and left the house very clean. We’ll be using her again anytime we travel!!”

About: I have been watching family, friends and neighbors dogs for over 10 years. I have watched dogs a few weeks old all the way to senior age. I have also taken care of many different breeds of dogs and all different sizes. I have taken care of terroirs that weigh 3 pounds all the way up to Labs weighing over 100 pounds. No dog is too big or small! I am more than comfortable feeding dogs, walks, play time, administering medication, and of course treats and cuddles! I work full time remotely so I can take my work on the go! I am available any time of day, morning, afternoon and evenings! Since I work remotely, I am home most of the day! I have a fenced in back yard. I have also dog sat for families without a fenced in backyard and have no problem playing outside on a leash or if your dog in trained to stay in the yard. I have two cats who keep to themselves, but they have interacted with dogs before with no issue.
“Claire bonded with Niki the minute she walked in the door. As I was leaving for the day it was evident that Claire was more focused on Niki and the fun ahead then my exit.”
“Sara was wonderful! We met prior to my trip. She took care of my 2 kitties while I was away. I would def use her again. I appreciate getting pictures of my fur babies while I was away.”
About: I work remotely as a sales rep, so I have a lot of flexibility during my day. I have raised 5 dogs throughout my childhood life and have 2 wonderful furry pups of my own. I am well versed with large and small dogs (Great Dane to Pomeranian) and know that they need love, exercise and attention. I have cared for many dogs through Rover and my motto is love each dog as if it were your own. I’d love to work with you to fulfill your dogs needs and make sure they are getting the care that they deserve. I work remotely, so I have some flexibility during my day, and can drop by at almost anytime to walk or let your dog out. After 5pm is a little bit easier to achieve though. I love exercise and know that dogs need a lot of it, so walking or playing with your pup will be a first priority for me. I have a 6ft white fenced in yard and my dogs are treated like children so they have access to couches and beds.
About: I have had dogs, one or two, and a cat since I was born. I firmly believe that dogs that get outside for exercise and play will have a happier, healthier life. I'm currently finishing graduate school and happy to help out with animals of all sizes. I love to be outside and walking dogs is always a great way to spend some time. I'm happy to help walk dogs in the morning or evening and willing to provide house care as well! I work at a PT clinic close by, 8 hours a day so happy to care for your pets if this fits the need! I have 2 dogs who are very good with other dogs, we have a fenced yard and a big deck and a forest behind for exercise
“Gabrielle was the absolute best! She watched our 16yr old Maltese for almost a week. She sent updates and photos daily. Sophie is very attached to us and we were concerned about leaving her bc she has not been with anyone else for over 6 years. Gabrielle was so thoughtful, kind and easy to work with. Sophie also got along really well with Gabrielle’s dog Nova which was a huge surprise to us since she normally doesn’t like other dogs. Would highly recommend Gabrielle!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hellertown
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!!!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hellertown is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,718 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hellertown. 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 Hellertown 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 Hellertown 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 Hellertown 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hellertown. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
