“Michelle was great! this was my first time using rover and i definitely plan on booking with Michelle in the future. she went above and beyond for my family. my dog tends to not eat when no one is home. Michelle would stay longer than the scheduled visit to encourage her to eat. she also assisted when giving as needed medications, as Mochi tends to get itchy around this time of year and takes a pill to calm the inflammation. this was something i was extremely grateful for and indicates the type of person Michelle is. she sent me updates, assisted with feeding my fish, and sent lots of pictures. i was able to relax while on vacation because i knew Mochi was in good hands.”
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have always had dogs and cats of my own. My husband and I currently have two cats whom we absolutely adore! I began pet sitting in my 30s and have been dog walking professionally for the past two years. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I especially enjoy building lasting relationships with pets and their families through regular weekday dog walks. Whether your dog needs daily exercise, playtime, or a little extra attention while you're busy, I'm happy to provide dependable, loving care. I also offer drop-in visits for dogs and cats, including vacation care, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I have experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes and needs, including puppies, small dogs, large dogs, and dogs with special needs. During walks, I make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I also take photos and send updates so you can see how your pet is doing. For pet-sitting visits, I'm happy to follow your pet's usual routine, provide meals, spend quality time together, and give medications when needed. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pet when you can't be there. Animals have always brought so much happiness to my life. Spending time with them honestly feels like therapy to me—there's nothing quite like an animal putting a smile on your face. I work part-time from home, 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.

“Amazing job! So highly recommended! My cats were so happy and my place even looks better! What an amazing job I can’t speak highly enough! Thank you from my cat family and me!”

“Emma was amazing, came over prior to our last minute weekend trip for the holiday, met our pets, saw where everything was, and then took great care of them while we were gone -- checking in with me at each stop in. It was so appreciated!!”

Let my dream come true . My dog gets out to potty every 2 hours and all my animals get feed 3 times a day and my dog gets walked everyday
“Lauren did an exceptional job walking my dog Ollie while I was traveling. It was his first time with Lauren and immediately decided she was his bestie for the week. Her reports were thoroughly positive and detailed. Lauren will definitely be our first choice for future Josh sits!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I was always the one to clean up after them and ensure they had new toys and a clean space to enjoy. I am currently working part time and off Fridays. I would like to earn some extra cash to continue growing my daughters savings so she can get a good education. I have a fenced in yard. I currently have 3 dogs and a fish and a toddler. When walking my dogs, I usually take all 3 and make sure I am aware of my surroundings due to have frenchies I am always extra cautious.
About: I have been a pet care provider through a private company for 10 years, but my passion for pets started long before that. My first pet experience was with cats, which I have owned and cared for since the age of 5. My first dog was a Belgian Malinois, followed by two yellow labs, which gave me a love for bigger dogs. I raised and trains all of my dogs from puppy to adulthood. However, I have worked extensively with all breeds including pit bulls, chihuahuas, terriers, golden retrievers, and mastiffs, and German Shepards. Therefore, I am very adaptable to all types of dog breeds. My aim is to be as individualized and specialized to each owner and pets needs and expectations. Walking, drop ins, and training 7 days a week. Pet sitting/house sitting: Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday I am unavailable Wednesdays and Thursdays 2:30-10 pm I match how the pets are cared for in each of my clients homes. Again, my aim is to ensure my services are individualized to the client and pets needs. I would want to maintain the same standard of care to ensure maximum comfortability.
“Megan did a wonderful job taking care of my buns! Consistent check ins- followed instructions- they are usually shy but even came out for treats and photos. Such a great experience-can’t thank her enough! Highly recommend.”
“I’ve booked Olivia several times for check-in’s and she is very reliable and always comes through for us in a pinch! Great communication and of course Sully loves her - Thanks Olivia!”
About: I have experience with a wide range of dogs, including Belgian Malinois, German Shepards, Pugs, Boxers, Chihuahuas, etc. I also have experience with senior dogs and dogs with medications, so I have no problem spending time with more high-need babies. I am a sophomore at Lehigh studying Public Health and would love to be your new sitter!! I have two cats and one dog at home in Michigan. I'm a full-time college student but my schedule is flexible, with weekend, evening, and Friday all day availability. Please message me to see my availability and I'd love to work something out! I am more than willing to come to your home to keep your pets happy and healthy, so let me know of any concerns you may have with your babies health and happiness and I'll be sure to take great care!
About: I’m familiar with almost every breed, and have been training them since I was 10 years old. My last dog was a therapy dog I took into nursing homes, but his time has past. :( I have all my time to spend with your pets. I am available weekends too, very flexible schedule. Will walk daily and play with them depending on age etc. I have a fenced in yard with no other pets. I am looking for a dog for myself to adopt and turn into a therapy dog, so I don’t mind training or corrective actions if wanted/ needed. I don’t like crates, but that’s me, and will respect your wishes. If at your house, you make the rules and I follow them, willing to FaceTime etc. whatever you need.
About: I have been pet sitting for over 10 years now. Both cats and dogs. What I love about pet sitting is that I get to provide a safe space for the animals when they’re trusted, owner is away. Just like we as humans need support so do they . With that I am willing to do whatever is necessary to provide the best care. What I do Dog walk or Walk Cat Administered medication if needed Feeding Cleaning up any messes Making sure the animals are safe at all times Playing soothing music to keep the anxiety at all time low or stay quiet.* I will be mindful to their body language* Speak in soft and calm tones to keep the space safe Allow the pet to get to know me so I can build their trust. Take pictures or videos and send daily updates if the owner approves of this. I believe that pets need a trusted person while their owner is away. To do this I try to get the animals undivided attention. I try my best to not have too many things going on in my day so that way I can focus providing my best. If I am pet sitting overnight or for a full day, I’ll be sure to not leave the home for very long. That way it can minimize the pets anxiety. This includes me going to work I will make sure I’ll come right back however, I tend to pet sit on days I don’t have too much going on . It is important that both the pets and pet owners feel safe and comfortable with me . I will monitor body language and stick to the owners bathroom and feeding schedule . I can administer medication if necessary . Crating according to owners wishes. Clean up any messes and keep the environment safe and clean.

Lindsay is a fantastic communicator with attention to detail. Everything is clear from the get go. She is prompt, personable and flexible. The Rover cards were some of the most detailed i have seen.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hellertown is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 3,176 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hellertown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hellertown. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
