Alexandra was great! She communicated her visit timing and updated me on Luna and her activities. I also was given a few cute pictures that made me feel relieved that she was doing well and in good hands. Will definitely book her again!

About: For 13 years, I helped take care of and watch over our beautiful family dog. She loved to play in the yard and go on long walks around the neighborhood. Since then, I have attained more animal experience by house-sitting a friend's dog and cat for a weekend, as well as walking a dog almost every day for two years. I ran track at the University of Florida, and love fitness of any kind. I snowboard and hike regularly and can't wait for summer! Living in CA, watching or walking a dog is the perfect way to get me outside and exploring. Additionally, I am a good listener and follow instructions very well. Your dog will be loved, walked (or even run!) and overall, be in great hands. I’m currently working from home so I am very flexible when it comes to taking the dog out for potty breaks, walking, and playing with your dog! I have a fenced in backyard, where I often sit, read and eat. It’s perfect for any dogs to hang outside! I’m also close to parks and hiking trails.

About: Hi! I'm Megan. I am originally from Pennsylvania and am a totally animal lover. In high school, I started my own dog walking business. I would dog sit and walk dogs in the neighborhood which included feeding, walks and playtime. I have experience with small to large dogs of different breeds and personalities. I have pets of my own and grew up in a home with a black lab and 3 cats. I love going on walks and to dog parks as part of my routine walks. If I will be dog sitting for your pet, there is a dog park located at my apartment complex with a huge park for us to play fetch in. I look forward to meeting with you and your pet.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and taken care of them. That includes walking, feeding, playing with them, etc. I dog sat for a bunch of my babysitting families in the past over night I currently work full-time remotely, so I have a very flexible schedule. I love going on walks every day and would be happy to give your dog lots of exercise and attention I take dogs on walks and can also let them out in a fenced backyard. I’m happy to follow whatever routine or preferences the owner has

Khadijah has came over a few times now to let our 75 lb Lab/Pit/Setter Mix out and Feed him on our long work days. Khadijah came and took the time out of her own, to come over and meet us and Clarke, ahead of time before we even booked her, to make sure all would be okay. It really was to ease moms nerves cause I know he can be a lot to handle sometimes and a big baby when it comes to eating when we aren’t there. She has stayed over her time allotted just to make sure he eats completely, and goes to the bathroom. I really thank Khadijah for her help and recommend her to anyone and any big dog!

Fenway-Kenmore, Allentown, PA, 18104

About: I provide patient, personalized care for both dogs and cats, making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs, whether that means long walks and playtime for energetic dogs or a calm, stress-free environment for shy cats. I’m comfortable caring for puppies and kittens who need extra supervision and consistency, as well as senior pets who may require medication reminders, extra patience, or gentler care. I also prioritize communication and send regular updates and photos so owners always know their pets are happy and in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine since I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care. I’m able to dedicate time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and making sure pets stay on their normal routines. I also enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to rather than just fitting into my schedule. I always make sure pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions to help them feel secure and stress-free. I pay close attention to behavior and safety, keeping pets supervised, ensuring doors and gates are secure, and making sure they always have fresh water, a comfortable space to relax, and plenty of attention. In clients’ homes, I’m respectful of their space and make sure pets receive consistent care and companionship while their owners are away.

Mackenna was great with my two cats, giving some extra time for the one when the other had a medical issue and went to stay with my sister who was running him back and forth to the vet. Raven was lonely without him. She kept me up to date with texts and photos — I would highly recommend her services!

John is the best! He was available for a last minute booking of our 6 month old Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. He texted us pictures of everything they were doing, played with him, and took him out. Moose felt right at home with John, and treated him like he was his own pet. The peace of mind having someone like John watch your pet, is priceless. I could not recommend someone more. We will absolutely book John again! Professional, personable, and reliable!

About: For the past 6 years I have been dog sitting and I love it! I started sitting privately and then worked at a doggy daycare. I have been doing Rover for over two years and I enjoy every minute of it. I have experience with many different breeds. I have worked closely with large dogs and small dogs, old and young dogs. I make sure to send lots of pictures while you’re away and prioritize play time, make sure to always get walks in, and most importantly have lots of cuddles while you’re gone! I am currently a college student, so I am free all of summer. I make it a priority to be there for your pets multiple times throughout the day. I know how important it is to provide play time, snuggles, and treats for when they know you’re away. I understand dogs body language and love to see their personalities. I always make sure to follow your normal schedule as best I can, making sure your pups are always comfortable and get lots of love while you’re away.

About: Growing up, I cared for my own pets and neighbors’ dogs and cats. I’ve raised two puppies, cared for a kitten, and looked after my 15 year old senior dog. In college, I started house sitting and caring for pets while owners were away. (I have plenty of references if you'd like one as well). I recently graduated college and work remotely Tuesday-Friday, so pet sitting is the perfect fit. I am around to help almost all of this summer! I treat every dog or cat like my own. Recently, I’ve been providing overnight, in home care for pets while their owners are on vacation, and I’m also available for full day stays if needed. I try and leave the home as clean as possible:) I am open to house chores as well!

About: Hi! I’m Kyra, and I’m a passionate, dependable animal lover who treats every pet like family. I bring patience, responsibility, and lots of positive energy into everything I do - including caring for your pets! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I understand that every pet has their own needs, routines, and quirks. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with some extra cuddles, I’m happy to match their vibe and make them feel safe and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m attentive, communicative, and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and give them all the care (and belly rubs!) they deserve! 🐾 I’m a full-time teacher, so my availability is most consistent in the afternoons, evenings, weekends, the summer time, and school breaks. On weekdays, I’m typically available after school for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I have more flexibility on weekends and can often accommodate a variety of times. During the school year, I stick to a reliable routine and will always communicate clearly about my availability. Over holidays and breaks, my schedule opens up even more, allowing for extended care if needed! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to ensure they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive, patient, and always keep a close eye on pets during walks and visits. I follow all instructions carefully. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines and I make sure pets are in a safe, clean environment at all times. I also believe communication is key, so you can expect regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind. I treat every pet like they’re my own; with lots of love, attention, and care!

About: I’ve been taking care of my own pups since I was 9 years old. My family and friends have also relied on me to care for their pets for the past few years. I’m currently working part-time and trying to figure out my career but in the mean time I have plenty of free time to fit in meeting some new doggy friends! I have 2 friendly dogs, a puggle and frenchie, who love to play and show their love. They love their daily walks and enrichment time.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 8 years old, and have been pet-sitting since I was 14. I love all animals, but my heart melts for every dog I see! There is no dog I don't love on sight! I am not working any other full-time job at the moment, so I can spend plenty of time with your pet. I will most likely spend several hours at a time with your furry friend, taking breaks throughout the day for food and errands. Overnights can be arranged upon request. As I have two dogs in my own home, I would be caring for your pet in yours. I will leave your home neat and tidy, and will happily clean up after your pets while there. I will also send you pictures of your animals throughout my time with them, to let you know that they are sage and happy.

About: I’ve taking care of many animals for the past 4 to 5 years including family and friends. I can handle any size, age, and breed. I currently am not working and have the whole morning, afternoon, and night to take care of your animal(s). As well my weekends are free! Your dogs safety is my main priority. When on walks I will be cautious of other animals, make sure the right equipment that is provided is used when walking your animal, and keep your pup in a safe and clean environment. When I drop in I will make sure your pup feels safe and comfortable, make sure your pup eats, drinks water, goes out, and gets treats, and everything is cleaned and locked up before leaving your pup and home.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Mertztown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Mertztown on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,645 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Mertztown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Mertztown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Mertztown 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!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Mertztown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mertztown. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
