“We knew within minutes of meeting Alannah that she was going to be a good fit to watch our pups. She had genuine interactions and care for both of them. You can tell she’s an animal lover! She was very prompt with her check ins and always gave us detailed info about what was going on. We’ll absolutely book with her in the future!”
“Madison did great with my cat and dog. She was very professional and friendly, and they both took to her right away when she came over for a pre-trip meet. She was also punctual and polite and always uploaded pictures when she came by for the feed/walk. I will definitely be a repeat customer of hers.”
“Olivia was great! She took really good care of our boys, including our senior dachshund. She was communicative and always sent photos when she came to feed them! Definitely going to use Olivia again!”

About: I have been researching animals and animal care since I was able to read, I was always at the library as a kid! I worked as a dog trainer at PetSmart for two years (worked with the company for three years total!) and have met and worked with a variety of breeds. I volunteered at a dog shelter all throughout highschool as well. I have had many animals of my own and have even fostered orphaned kittens and puppies in the past! Working with animals gives me a purpose I cannot find anywhere else :) I work half remotely so I have plenty of open availability, let me know what works best with you! I'm always willing to make accommodations. When watching your pets at your home I would likely ask many questions regarding you/your pets routine so I can make things as comfortable for your pet as possible! I would never leave the pet unattended unless directed otherwise! I have experience handling large, strong breeds of dogs and have no doubt in my capabilities to keep your pet safe and comfortable.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 6 years now, all different breeds and sizes. My family, friends, neighbors, and bosses have hired me to take care of their own dogs for days at a time. This included walking, playing, feeding, taking to vet appointments and much for for their beloved dog. I am currently a junior at West Chester University, studying Finance. I will be free everyday in between classes, after classes, evenings and weekends. I have a very flexible schedule! I live in an apartment so I would not be allowed to have dogs stay for a long period of time. I do have my own reliable transportation so I can be anywhere where I am needed!

I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can accommodate boarding, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I have a fenced yard for supervised play and a friendly dog for companionship. I follow each owner’s feeding, walking, medication, and crate instructions carefully
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I was the little kid that visited the neighbors just to see their dogs. I have dog sat on many occasions. I am very detail oriented and love abiding by schedules. I do not mind the size of the dog either. The more dogs you have the better. I will gladly meet the dog(s) beforehand to see if they are comfortable with me. Other pets are also welcome too! The most animals I have watched at one time was three dogs and one cat. I am not opposed to light cleaning for the animals when necessary. Any routines you have for feeding or walking will always be followed. If you have any questions please ask me. I look forward to meeting your pets!
“Kora is an excellent sitter for our dog, Ginny. She is always willing to stay longer to provide comfort to our pup, send photos, and keep me updated. I’ve used Kora each time we’ve gone away for the last 2 years and she is just wonderful. This past trip we took she noticed dishes in our sink and did them. It wasn’t even necessary but she went the extra mile to provide incredible service. We feel so confident leaving our pup home, as we can’t board her due to her anxieties around other animals, and we are able to enjoy our trip. She is always available even last minute and she is dependable. Recommend Kora 100x over!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Old Forge is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $22 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 361 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Old Forge. 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
