“We had a wonderful experience with Andrew and would absolutely recommend him! From the start, his communication was excellent; he was responsive, reliable, and kept us updated throughout our time away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Andrew was incredibly professional and took great care of our two cats. It was clear that he was attentive to their individual needs and genuinely cared about making sure they were comfortable and well cared for while we were gone. We came home to two happy cats and everything exactly as it should be. It can be nerve-wracking using a new sitter for the first time, but Andrew made the entire experience easy and stress-free. We felt completely comfortable having him care for our cats and will be happily booking him in the future!”
“My two sickly, finicky, geriatric pups loved Ja-Laurel! I think they were actually disappointed when we came home :-D (they were hoping to see Ja again). She also left the house spotless and all the potted plants happily hydrated. Many thanks!!!”
“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!”
“Michelle was awesome! Our fur babies loved her! She let us know when she arrived and gave them lots of love. She sent us pictures and updates of our guys. She was great and we plan on using her again.”
“Phoebe house/dog sat for us. She took excellent care of Rocket and sent lots of pictures. She paid attention to all of our instructors and set our minds at ease that all was going well. Phoebe is a true animal lover and I won't hesitate to request her services again”
“Kailey was amazing. She was in constant contact with us. Sending pictures, videos and updates of our babies while we were away. She was very responsive and caring. My dog and kitty loved her. She was very respectful of our home. This was the first time we had someone stay at our house to take care of them. We felt extremely comfortable with Kailey and look forward to using her again in the future.”
About: Tailored pet care, where experience meets compassion. I have a huge heart for all animals! And would care for your pets as they were my own. I am currently working a full time working mom from Sat-Tuesday. I am home with our son We’d-Fri and looking to show our son the value in caring for others. unfortunately i couldn’t bring any furry babies home with me as our home is full, but we can always come visit them in their homes and offer walks, pets, and treats !
“Deanna was GREAT! Came to meet our dog and was immediately good with him. He is a 110 pound skittish boy and he accepted her immediately. Unfortunately he got sick the day before we left. Deanna was wonderful giving him medication unexpectedly, keeping tabs on his progress to the antibiotics, keeping us informed of how he was feeling, and even offered to take him to the vet for follow up. She communicated well with us and sent pictures. We will absolutely use her again when needed, as she kept our boy happy and safe!”
About: I have taken care of all different types of animals growing up.I grew up with a household full of dogs, and have gotten the chance to have dogs of my own now. I have watched and did weekend house sitting for friends/family. I have experience with most dog breeds. I have watched/taken care of a Cane Corso, Neapolitan Mastiff, and many other larger dog breeds. I have a two year old 160 pound Great Dane named Atticus and a 45 pound pitbull mix that are my entire world. I have experience with animals with diabetes and special diets. I love the outdoors and taking adventures with fur babies. I love the outdoors regardless of the weather, looking to take so more walks! I mostly work nights, my daytime and weekends are completely free. I have a fenced in yard, with many trails around me. I always keep a close eye on dogs when outside even in a fenced in yard.
“Ashley did an awesome job with our 3 dogs and one cat…. One of which is a ball of energy and has anxiety issues. She was willing to meet up ahead of our trip to make sure everything was good. We will definitely be using her again”
About: I've had dogs my entire life, pet sit for my friend and neighbors, and have a ton of experience in this field. I won't get mad about pet behavior or be unkind. I'm as excited to be there as they will be! I am a college student so on my free days I can spend my time doing stuff I love and helping you with your pets who you love! I understand boundaries and the trust you would be giving me to take care of them in your home or even walk them. It's a lot of trust but I have experience and know where I stand in my work, I offer a no judgement service.
“Ilene was amazing and took great care of our 2 dogs and cat while we were out of town for the weekend. Our dogs can be a little wary of new people, but warmed up to Ilene right away. We appreciated the updates and communication and would definitely rebook with Ilene again in the future!”
About: Animals have always been a massive part of my life. From lifelong companionship with my own dogs and cats to pet sitting for close friends and family, I know what it takes to keep pets happy and safe at home. I have worked with dogs for a long time, which has taught me strong animal body language skills, patience, and the importance of a strict feeding schedule. I treat every animal I visit with the same dedication I give to my own fur babies. I am available daily, making pet care my top priority. My flexible schedule easily accommodates last minute requests, strict feeding times, and multiple daily drop-ins. I provide dedicated pet care right at your doorstep, ensuring your animals stay safe and relaxed in their own space. I am highly detail oriented and committed to maintaining a secure, familiar routine for your animals. My experience allows me to easily adapt to your pet's specific needs, giving you total peace of mind.
“We were so grateful for the care Danielle provided for our French Bulldog during our 7-day vacation. She went above and beyond, keeping us updated daily with videos, pictures, and texts, which made us feel completely at ease. Danielle even surprised our pup with a few new toys as a thoughtful gift! She was incredibly respectful of our home, always asking for permission when needed. We couldn't be happier with how comfortable and well-loved our pet was while we were away. We've already rebooked Danielle for future visits and are so grateful to have found someone we trust completely with our fur baby. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and caring pet sitter!”
“Ryan was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs! He stayed in our home and took such amazing care of them. It was obvious from the beginning that he genuinely loved them and treated them like his own. They were happy, comfortable, and so well cared for when we got home. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Ryan to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their pets. We will definitely be using him again!”

Deanna is wonderful! Our 11 yr old dogs had never been away from us and we were going out of state for two weeks. As soon as our pets met Deanna, they fell in love with her. She sent us pictures and kept in touch throughout our stay. I recommend her highly and will absolutely be using her services in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Palmerton on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 701 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Palmerton. 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 Palmerton 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 Palmerton 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 Palmerton 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.

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.
