About: Hello, My name is Ezekiel or Zeke for short! I been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I love almost every animal I come across and would like to think they feel the same about me. I have been pet sitting professionally for about 15 years now. From trembling chihuahuas all the way to loving bumbling pitties. Through the rain or shine, I’ll make sure your pups are loved and cared for. Currently my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m available weekdays (and weekends as needed). All in all I’m pretty flexible with whatever you and your pet may need! 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 am more than happy to provide in-home sitting, drop-in care, and walking. 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.

I've been pet-sitting and dog walking for friends and neighbors for over a decade, and have extensive personal pet experience as well (of the mostly furry variety). I would love to spend time with your fur babies, and vow to treat them as if they were my own. I have extensive education under my belt to better care for your pet, including classes in dog CPR and first aid (Academy of Canine Educators), Zoo Science (animal enrichment), as well as Dog Emotion & Cognition (Duke University) and Dog Behavior Solutions (ASU). Your busy schedule does not mean your buddy has to be alone all the time! Let me help you give them the love they deserve :)

“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!”

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life, and I have over 40 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and other animals. I previously managed and worked in luxury animal care and boarding, where I cared for dogs with a wide range of routines, temperaments, dietary needs, medications, and specialized care requirements. I also founded and run my own land and wildlife sanctuary, where caring for both domestic animals and supporting a diverse array of wildlife is part of my everyday life. This background has made me deeply attentive to animal behavior, safety, routines, comfort, and compassionate care. I’m attentive, patient, dependable, and very tuned into each animal’s individual personality and needs. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or shy and sensitive, I take time to help them feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, bathing, senior pets, medications, multi-animal households, and providing calm, attentive day-to-day care. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for a beloved companion, and I treat every animal with warmth, gentleness, and respect. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been part of my life. I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable walks, check-ins, feeding, companionship, and attentive care throughout the week and weekends. care for pets with patience, attentiveness, and close attention to their individual routines and comfort levels. During walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets are safe, secure, well-supervised, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m attentive to feeding instructions, water, exercise needs, cleanliness, and giving pets calm companionship while their owners are away. I understand the importance of trust when caring for someone’s beloved animal, and I always aim to provide dependable, gentle, stress-free care. 🐾

About: I have shared my life and home with dogs for as long as I can remember, and today, I am the proud parent of two rescue dogs of my own. Managing a multi-dog household has given me firsthand experience in balancing different personalities, handling various energy levels, and maintaining consistent daily routines. Over the years, I have translated this lifelong passion into reliable pet sitting for multiple families who trust me to provide the highest level of care for their pets. When your pet is with me, you can expect strict adherence to their specific feeding, medication, and exercise schedules. I pride myself on being detail-oriented and organized, ensuring your home and pets are safe and well-managed. I also prioritize proactive communication, so you can look forward to regular, high-quality updates and photos that offer total peace of mind while you are away. I am currently going to school for my Master's Degree in Information Technology while also working full-time remotely. My current work schedule is Tuesdays-Fridays 8 AM to 6 PM EST. Being a remote worker and student gives me plenty of time to be able to give the exceptional care your pet deserves. I believe that pets aren't just animals—they are full members of the family, and I treat every guest at my client's home with the exact same love, respect, and high standard of care that I give my own two dogs. My primary goal is to maintain the comfort of their familiar routines so they feel safe, secure, and completely at ease. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space as much as I respect your pet, ensuring everything remains clean, secure, and exactly how you left it while sticking strictly to your established household rules. I focus on providing plenty of personalized attention, structured playtime, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your family member is in organized, capable, and loving hands.

“I cannot recommend Syd highly enough! She stayed at my home for two weeks while I was away and took amazing care of my Leo. From the moment I left, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She kept me updated, gave Leo plenty of love, attention and care, and treated him like he was her own. Not only did she take wonderful care of Leo, but she also looked after the fish, watered my plants, and kept my house in great shape. Coming home to a happy dog and a well-cared-for home was such a relief. She went above and beyond in every way, and I would absolutely book her again. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, Syd is the one!”

About: I’ve always had pets around growing up, such as Great Danes, mastiffs, and birds. I have 3 years of experience working with dementia patients and a degree in health science. In the past, I’ve volunteered at forgotten felines. I have worked at a pet store as well. One of my most rewarding experiences on Rover was with a repeat client whose two energetic pups I cared for several times over a few months. I’m now ready to open up my calendar more consistently and connect with new families who need a reliable, friendly sitter they can count on! Now accepting new clients for winter and holiday bookings! 🐾 I am free most of the week. I am available to watch your pets weekdays and weekends at the moment. I can stay with your pets for most of the time. I will always give your pet attention and plenty of play time and love, along with some outside time and/or walks. I would love to make new consistent connections!

“Brittany did 2 night house/dog sitting for my senior blind dog. She was very nice, communicative, and sent photos - no complaints here! One thing I really appreciated: there is a large gap in the day between feedings so informed her a head of time that she may leave for a bit like 1-4 hrs if needed for errands, appointments, etc (she did not ask! I came out with this and usually tell sitters this). I just dont want my dog alone all day and night as I work from home and am always here, and I do not want too much in and out or just walk ins. Closer to the scheduled sitting, she kindly let me know she would need to step out briefly which I confirmed was still fine. Without me asking her to do so, she messaged me when she left with expected time of return and messaged me when she officially returned”

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Palmerton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Palmerton is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $78 per night. 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 690 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 , 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 .

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 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.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
