About: I've owned three dogs in the past 20 years. A greyhound (rescue), a border collie/retriever mix (rescue) and a chihuahua. Each one unique in their personality, energy level and needs, giving me a broad understanding of dog care. I recently retired and can't think of a better way to spend some of my free time, than with pups. I'm available M-F, and we could probably negotiate some weekends if needed. I love taking dogs for walks. We frequently walked our dogs at Kolapechka park and utilized the dog play areas. I could do the same for yours. Open to broadening my services to include overnight stays in my home once a bond/trust is developed between myself and your pet.
“I am so relieved to have found Kim! Juliet and Gracie spent a week with her and she kept me updated with photos and texts all through my trip. I hate leaving my dogs when I go away, but now I feel confident that they will be in good hands for any future vacations. Juliet is especially challenging (being a high strung toy poodle!), but due to Kim's expertise as a dog trainer, she knew exactly how to manage her. Thank you, Kim (and husband Dan who is a very good sport)!”
“I don’t have enough nice things to say about Amanda! She took wonderful care of my dog while I was away for the week. She took into consideration for my dogs routine and his safety. She was very attentive to my dogs needs. He came home happy and tuckered out! 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!!”
“This was my first time having my dogs stay outside the house, and having four wasn’t easy to find someone. Brittany was very excited to watch the boys has a big fenced in backyard, sent daily updates on them along with daily photos. Will definitely be booking with Brittany again and highly recommend her!”
“Doug and his family were so welcoming to our pup and took the best care of her! They helped her fit right into the family, and updated us all the time about the fun things they were doing. Our dog can be a little shy at the beginning, but they were very patient and helped her out of her shell. We will definitely use their sitting services again, and are so thankful for their care and attentiveness!”
“No issues. Did a meet and greet prior which was helpful, kept in communication while we were away, took him on walks and sent some pictures. Went smoothly.”
“Tim was very responsive prior and during Chase’s stay, sent pictures throughout and had him ready to go when I arrived back. Chase clearly had an enjoyable stay and I would recommend him for any future stays!”
“As always, Kristin is awesome. She is so responsive and communicative. I love that Wyatt got a bath this time after a long week of "vacation" at her house. He is always exhausted and happy when he comes home.”
“I don't know why it took me so long to post this review. Tyler was absolutely amazing with my dog, Austin! I had originally booked Austin with Tyler for one week but due to housing issues I had to extend his stay. I actually had to extend Austin's stay a few times and Tyler was always happy and willing to house Austin for as long as we needed. Tyler let me come visit Austin periodically since I missed him so much, and every time I visited Austin looked great and seemed truly happy there. I will 10/10 rebook with Tyler! I am forever grateful for Tyler's help throughout that difficult time and highly recommend using him for whatever length of stay your pup or kitty needs.”
“Liz was fantastic with Daisy Mae! She was quick with her responses and her regular updates were on point! Daisy Mae loved hanging out with Liz and her two wonderful dogs. Thank you!”
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 had a very good experience with Sai. She took regular photos and communicated how things were going while we were out of town. She took really good care of our dog and we felt comfortable with how she handled every situation that arose. I would recommend her to anyone that needs dog sitting. She was great!”
About: My father was a dog trainer my whole childhood, exposing me to a love for all dogs! I’ve fostered and had my own dogs my entire life. I’ve had the pleasure of helping my families dogs and others. Walking, feeding, bath time, and playing are all up my alley with your fur babies. I am currently a college student at Drexel University, which can provide me with free time. On days like Mondays, Wednesday, and Fridays I’m free in the morning and afternoons and nights. On weekends, I’m almost always free. I’ve always been gentle with dogs and plan to care for your dogs accordingly. I have training skills to help even with difficult puppies. Whatever you need, I am willing to help!
“Amber was communicative with us during our time away from Kong and sent pictures to make us comfortable. Her house and yard were clean and well maintained; she had toys and a bed for him as well. We would definitely recommend using Amber and will be using her in the future.”
“Fernando took excellent care for my cat, Senko. He sent me daily pictures and even videos! Not a single problem and he was more than accommodating for my cat's needs! Highly recommended!”
“Wendy took incredible care of my boy while I was gone for the weekend. She was very accommodating & kind. Her yard & house is perfect for a pup & her yard has lots of smells to sniff! Perfect for a doggy who needs some outdoor time. I highly recommend her.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 846 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Mertztown. About 91% of Mertztown sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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 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.
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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
