About: I’ve been around and cared for all kinds of animals my whole life. From dogs and cats to snakes and rats. I currently have 2 cats of my own and occasionally watch pets of my friends. I’m currently available most days and times. I’m an early riser so early mornings work well for me. I’m not much of a night owl Your pet is my priority. I’ll make sure to monitor them closely and report to you with any information you’d like and unusual activity if it occurs. And of course send photos to give you peace of mind. I’m currently available most days and time. I prefer not to do later in the evenings as I’m not a night time person, but I can be available early mornings I respect your pet and your home. My cats have anxiety when I’m not home, so I understand pets need special attention when their routines are slightly off, and I want to make sure your pet is comfortable while you’re away.

About: Lifelong animal lover. Although I’ve never had a dog of my own growing up (thanks mom), I’ve always been the go-to person for pet sitting within my family and immediate circle—even amongst my mom’s clients who trust me for comfort & care for their fur babies. I’ve been around animals my whole life so I feel like I’ve done it all (yes… even eaten kibble once 🫣), and I’m comfortable with pets of any size or breed—every pet is welcome!

I’m always happy to work around you & your pet’s routine to make sure they get all the love, care, and attention they deserve while you’re away! Currently, I’m not able to host pets in my apartment due to building rules 🤧 However I happily provide in-home sitting and drop-in care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority, and I treat your home and pet with the same care I would my own—just elevated to a five-star level. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
About: Hi! I'm a dedicated dog lover based in the Lehigh Valley area. I've had my own dog for the past 6 years, and one of my favorite things to do is get outside and go on walks with him. Caring for dogs has always been a part of my life, and I've helped family, friends, and neighbors with feeding, walking, and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand that every dog has different needs, whether they're energetic and love long walks or prefer a slower, more relaxed pace. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their well-being. You can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and communicative. I'll make sure your pup gets the exercise, attention, and care they deserve, and I'll keep you updated along the way. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I’m a recent college graduate and currently looking for work. In the mean time I feel like this is the perfect opportunity to get outside and enjoy the time off while i search for a career! The safety of the dog is my number one priority whenever I walk or play with dogs. If a dog needs to be kept away from other dogs or humans, I am always attentive toward my surroundings making sure that is followed. A dog’s routine is always important and I can make sure that it is kept up while I am entrusted with their care.
“We can’t recommend Alexandria enough! Her first time sitting for us involved rain/snow and she was flexible with everything that comes with dogs and weather! She was very communicative and took great care of our dogs. Was a huge relief to know they were well taken care of and happy with her! We will defiantly book with Alexandria again!”
“This was our first home stay with Liz, and she was fantastic with our pup Winnie! She is super caring, great at tiring out our energetic girl, very communicative and sent lots of photo and video updates throughout our trip. Liz was also gracious enough to bring in our mail and water our plants, and generally take great care of our home in our absence. We are very happy Winnie fell in love with Liz and had a wonderful time while we were gone, and we’d highly recommend Liz to anyone looking for an excellent pet caregiver. We will certainly be booking Liz for future Winnie care ☺️”
About: I've pet sat since 2014, I've taken good care of their pets for my family and friends.I have a wealth of knowledge of all breeds and love to spoil and play with dogs and cats. I'm looking to work as a full time as a dog walker or pet sitter. I have an open and flexible schedule to provide the best care. I have a questionnaire that helps me learn your pets needs so that I'm ready to step in and make vacations or work days easy on your pet(s).
“Robert went above and beyond our expectations. He was very responsible and met every need for my 2 dogs and 2 guinea pigs. He sent daily updates with pictures and videos and had wonderful communication throughout our trip which put my mind at ease while away. I highly recommend him to care for your pets and will definitely rebook with him again!”
About: I have worked 2 week long dog sitting jobs before. I have owned pets my whole life, so I am comfortable with the process of taking care of them. I am an electrical engineering student home from college trying to pay off my loans. I am free all summer so please give me work!! I am friendly and have a lot of time to match any request your pet needs. From difficult animals to sweet ones I can watch them.
“Su is the best! She met me on very short notice to meet me and my pup. I felt instantly at ease with her. She was prompt , kept me updated and sent videos throughout the day. Cannot recommend her enough.”
“I cannot speak highly enough of Hailee. This was her first time dog sitting for us, and every single thing that could have gone wrong in our house did. Our water heater broke right before she arrived and started flooding the finished basement, the plumber that fixed the water heater accidentally left the gas off so there was no heat for 24 hours, and there was a fire down the street that caused them to turn off the power to our grid. And yet, Hailee made it all a breeze. Between coordinating with our plumber, keeping the dogs calm with the commotion in the house, and keeping us in the loop. We came home to a clean house and happy & tired dogs. You would have never known that it was a crazy week. Highly recommend if you want peace of mind & will be rebooking!”
About: I’ve lived with and helped care for dogs since I can remember, and cats for the past decade now. I truly believe that our pets are a part of our family, and will bring that approach and belief with me into your homes. In the past 10 years I have helped raise 4 dogs and 4 cats, as well as caring for an elderly dog requiring special care. I hold a passion for animal safety and care, and believe that will show in my work. In our household I am an active participant in pet care. Typically I am involved in feeding both cats and dogs, taking dogs outside as needed, helping clean litter boxes as needed, etc; most often on a daily basis. In addition to the typical pet care information already provided, I take great care in providing a safe and fun environment for our pets. That includes playing with both the dogs and cats, taking our dogs on walks, etc. Overtime, our household has gotten to where we are now with 3 dogs and 4 cats total. I’ve come to learn and appreciate all of their individual quirks and personalities, and that only helps me care for them better. I look forward to meeting and getting to know your pets as well!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Old Orchard
We had a great experience with Juliette. This was our first time using Rover and we will definitely be back again. When we arrived home from our nine day trip, everything was just as we had left it and our 11-year old Rottweiler was snuggled up on the couch right where he likes to lay. He was super happy and in good spirits, which is the most important thing. Thank you Juliette, for taking such good care of our boy and for looking after the house while we were away!!
Miah is amazing!! She has watched both of our dogs, previous and current, and we always have the most wonderful experience!! We know our fur baby is well taken care of, she shares cute updates throughout the duration and we could not ask for more. 10/10 recommend, we absolutely cannot say enough good things!! 😊
Certainly! Here’s a polished and heartfelt review you can use or adapt: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 - Outstanding Dog Sitter! I can’t say enough great things about our dog sitter! She stayed overnight to care for our two dogs and truly went above and beyond. From the moment we met, it was clear she is responsible, kind, and had a genuine love for animals. Our pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved when we returned home. She kept us updated with messages and photos, followed all instructions to a T, and left our house spotless—maybe even cleaner than we left it! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dogs and home were in such capable hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and amazing with animals, look no further. We’ll definitely be booking again !!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Old Orchard
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Old Orchard on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,446 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Old Orchard. 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 Old Orchard 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 Old Orchard 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 Old Orchard 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Old Orchard. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
