About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors, so I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. Today I have a 5-year-old Golden Retriever and a 5-year-old cat. They grew up together and are honestly best friends (yes, they cuddle 🐶🐱) I'm a true animal lover at heart, and my dream is to one day open my own animal rescue. Until then, I'd love to visit and walk your furry family member and give them all the love they deserve! 💛 I'm a full-time mom, so my schedule is very flexible and I can easily fit visits and walks into the day. I love being outdoors as much as possible, so your dog will get plenty of fresh air and exercise with us! 🌳🐾 I only offer drop-in visits and walks, so your pet stays in the comfort of their own home 🏡 During visits, I follow your routine as closely as possible: feeding, fresh water, medications if needed, litter box cleaning for cats, and of course lots of playtime and cuddles. I always keep an eye on how they're eating, behaving and feeling, and I'll let you know right away if anything seems off. For walks, I adapt the pace and length to your dog's energy, age and needs, whether that's a calm stroll around the block or a more active outing at the park. I'll send you photos and updates after every visit so you can see how happy your baby is! 📸🐾
About: I have been taking care of dogs for friends, family, and acquaintances for 20 years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and have also administered daily medication. Myself and my husband have flexible hours and one of us is usually home. We are only not home for about 4 hours total a day. I have some experience in basic training as well. I have a dog park within 5 minutes of my home to be able to run and play. We do not have a fenced in yard, but we will be getting one in the near future. I live in Nazareth so the town is very quiet, but close to everything. Dogs are allowed on all furniture and can even come to bed with us. We want your dog to feel like part of our family.

“Jake did a great job taking care of my two cats (we did drop-in visits). He sent lots of pictures, provided detailed updates, and left all the dishes and food containers spotless. I was confident leaving them with him and would absolutely recommend his services to others. Thanks, Jake!”
About: Since I was born, I’ve always had dogs! Over my life, I’ve had seven dogs of my own. I currently have 3 large dogs, one medium. Since I was ten, me and my family have been fostering dozens of dogs of all different kinds! Newborn puppies, seniors, and every puppy in between. I’ve dealt with aggressive dogs, skittish dogs, and nervous nellies. I love dogs no matter what! Since beginning to foster, I’ve had to train many dogs, both younger and older. I’m skilled in leash training, commands (sit/lay/come), and much more. As of right now, my schedule is completely open! I am happy to accommodate to early mornings, late nights, and everything in between to fit you and your puppy’s needs! I live in the woods, far from dangerous, busy roads. I have PLENTY of room for running, playing, and walking. I have multiple walking trails behind my house, as well as a pond that my puppies love to play in. I currently have two very friendly dogs at my house, who can be separated need be via a soft gate I have in my home. I have multiple crates available if your puppy needs it. My house is full of toys, treats, and dog beds. A dog’s paradise! If not in my home, I will be sure to abide by all house rules set by my client!
“Sarah was excellent with Chase. She followed his routine carefully, communicated clearly, and handled everything with confidence. Chase is a senior tripod and needs a bit of extra support, and she managed his let‑outs, feeding, medications, and mobility needs without any issues. We had an unexpected power outage during our booking, and Sarah immediately stepped in with solutions to keep Chase safe and comfortable. She was flexible, dependable, and proactive throughout the entire situation. Chase was well cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was with her. We will absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend.”
“Lauren was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! She took care of Tilly our “spicy” and sometimes difficult cat with ease. She always sent us photos and was very communicative. I will definitely hire her again when needed and would highly recommend!!!”
About: Hello! I am an expert dog walker and I also offer check-ins for your pup! I have had a dog in my home since I could crawl and have always loved animals of any age, size and shape!

I would love to come meet your pup and walk them around your neighborhood anytime. I will love your pets like my own and I promise we will have a great time no matter what! I can’t wait! I currently work 3 12 hour shifts as a nurse and have 4 days off during the week, so I have plenty of free time! I will walk the pets in your neighborhood or check in on them when needed, but cannot board unfortunately! I will treat your pets like my own and ensure they have everything they need!
“Jonathan did a great job taking care of our boys. He was on time, took photos and our shy cat warmed up to him. We felt at ease while traveling because Jonathan was so reliable and loves animals. Thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats that are on scheduled feeding times as well as scheduled walking and outdoor time! I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats as a live-in pet sitter for weeks at a time. I love being outdoors and enjoying my time with the animals. You can rely on me to maintain your pets schedule as well as spending quality time with them. I am very flexible with my schedule, and would love to work to help pet owners by accommodating their schedules. With classes ending soon my schedule will free up more. When coming into your home I am diligent about following directions. I am experienced with feeding and watering cats and dogs, taking out pets to use the bathroom, as well as walking them and playing with them.
“Ashley is a wonderful pet sitter; both dependable and trustworthy. You can tell she loves animals, spending time during visits not just feeding them, but actually giving the pets love and attention. During my time away, she kept me up to date on the cats' status and sent a lot of photos of the cats being cared for.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of every breed, size, and energy level—from anxious rescues to giant goofballs. As a current volunteer at ACCT Philly, I work hands-on with all types of dogs daily, focusing on leash control, confidence-building, and reading body language. Friends and neighbors regularly trust me for overnight stays, multi-dog households, and high-energy pups because I stay calm, structured, and patient no matter what. I’m comfortable with puppy routines, senior care, and special diets, and I always make sure every dog gets the perfect mix of play, structure, and comfort. Whether it’s a jog around the block, a slow senior stroll, or bedtime snuggles—I tailor my care to your dog’s needs, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Pet care easily fits into my weekly routine. My schedule is flexible for walks, drop-ins, or overnights, and I make sure every pet gets consistent attention, playtime, and care. Whether it’s early mornings, lunch breaks, or evening cuddles, I’ll build my day around your pet’s routine. Safety and comfort always come first. In my home or yours, I make sure pets have a calm, clean, and secure space to relax and play. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, medications, and boundaries—so they feel right at home. I keep a close eye on body language and behavior to ensure they’re happy and stress-free, and I always send photo updates so you can see how well they’re doing. Whether it’s cats curling up for quiet time or dogs burning off energy, I create a safe, loving environment built on trust.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I have experience caring for pets with different routines and personalities, and I know how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a slower, cozy day, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. I’m dependable, patient, and will always care for your pets like they’re my own — plus you can expect plenty of photo updates along the way! I’m currently full time as a radiologic technologist with St. Luke’s. I normally work Tuesdays & Wednesdays 8-4p, Mondays & Thursdays 8-8p. If a Thursday or Monday is needed I could rearrange my schedule to accommodate if needed. Fridays I’m off and I’m available Saturday’s and Sundays when given enough notice. ☺️ When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely while making sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their own environment, so I work to create a calm, safe, and positive experience while you’re away. I also make sure your home is treated respectfully and kept clean and secure. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pets are happy and well cared for.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, including a Black Lab, Miniature Pinscher, Rottweiler, and German Shepherd. Being around such different breeds has taught me that every dog has their own personality, energy level, quirks, and way of showing you what they need. I also have hands-on experience caring for dogs in my family. I regularly help care for my sister’s two dogs—a 1-year-old Corgi and a 13-year-old English Bulldog. Having both a young, energetic dog and a senior dog has given me an appreciation for how different their needs can be. One may want to play, explore, and keep you moving, while the other may need a slower pace, extra patience, comfort, and a little more attention. I also frequently care for a French Bulldog in my family when his dad needs someone he trusts to look after him. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog individually and learning their routines, personalities, favorite activities, and little quirks. I also have experience caring for Ozzie, my mom’s boyfriend’s 7-year-old Whoodle. Spending time with Ozzie has given me even more experience caring for an adult dog with his own personality, routines, and preferences. I enjoy taking the time to learn what makes each dog comfortable and happy rather than assuming every dog needs the same type of care. And of course, I can’t forget Mochi, my boyfriend’s approximately 5-year-old Chihuahua-Terrier mix. Mochi is another special part of my life and has given me even more experience getting to know a dog’s individual personality, routines, habits, and quirks. Caring for him has also taught me that sometimes the smallest dogs have the biggest personalities! What makes pet care special to me is that I don't look at it as simply a job or a checklist of feeding, walking, and letting a pet outside. Your pets are family, and I want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you're away. I’m naturally very patient, attentive, and nurturing with animals. I pay attention to the little things—whether a dog needs some extra exercise, some quiet time, reassurance in a new situation, or simply someone to sit beside them and give them some love. I’m also comfortable giving pets the time and space they need to warm up to me rather than expecting them to immediately feel comfortable. Whether your pup is a playful youngster, a laid-back senior, or somewhere in between, I’ll take the time to understand what makes them happy and make their care feel as close to home as possible. And because I’m a lifelong animal lover, I genuinely believe that four little paws come with a whole lot of love—and deserve a whole lot right back. My schedule is currently flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including weekends when available. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they need. I communicate openly with pet parents and do my best to be dependable and flexible with scheduling. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or visiting for a walk or drop-in, I treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Before caring for a pet, I like to learn about their normal routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications if applicable, favorite activities, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. I’m patient with pets who may be shy or take some time to warm up to someone new, and I pay close attention to their behavior so I can recognize when something seems different. I’m also very mindful about doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, and keeping pets safely supervised. I want you to feel confident knowing that while you’re away, your pet is receiving loving, attentive care and your home is being treated respectfully. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable—and for you to have peace of mind while you’re away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Phillipsburg
I was very nervous about leaving my 18 year-old Pomeranian mix with someone I don't know personally. Kristen was great! She did everything she said she was going to do and then some. The communication was great and she always sent me pictures to see how things were going. I would absolutely call her again.
Sydney was amazing! We had a last minute family event and she was quick to help us out. It was so nice to keep Oakland in our home where she is relaxed and comfortable. I got lots of pictures and updates which just really allowed me to enjoy my time, stress-free. Our girl had a few accidents out of excitement but Sydney handled it and even sent me pictures of where they were so I knew for when I came home. I can't say enough great things about Sydney and we are relieved to know we have someone for the future if she's available. Punctual, on-time, and overall will care for your pet with compassion.
Another great experience with Brittany! I’m so glad I found her on Rover. My dog is always happy and well taken care of when he’s with her, and it makes leaving him so much easier knowing he’s in good hands. Brittany is great about communicating and keeping me in the loop, and I always come home knowing everything went smoothly. She has definitely become someone I trust and will continue to book with whenever I need someone to watch him. Highly recommend Brittany!
Kristie was excellent ! We met for the first time when she came to the house to meet the pups. All of them LOVED her, even our shy guy immediately took to her. She was kind, easy to talk to and great with all of our dogs. We will absolutely hire Kristie again if she will have us ! Thank you Kristie !
Clarissa was absolutely amazing! We were very hesitant at first since we had never used this type of service before, but with our senior dog, we decided to give it a try—and we are so glad we did. Clarissa was incredibly patient and gentle with our blind and deaf senior dog, as well as with our cats. She went above and beyond what we expected, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets and their well-being. She made us feel completely comfortable and gave us peace of mind knowing our babies were in such caring hands. I would highly recommend Clarissa to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets. She will absolutely be the only person we trust with our babies from now on!
Thank you Emily for taking such great care of Nova! Being the first time I needed someone to check in on him I was for sure nervous, but Emily was amazing and helped me feel very at ease. I loved the pictures she sent me to keep me updated. And she even helped clean a mess Nova had left in my kitchen. I got to enjoy the time away with my daughter knowing he was in good care. I will definitely use her services again, amd recommend her to others as well!!! Super super sweet girl.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Phillipsburg is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $44 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 November 2026, there are 2,373 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Phillipsburg. 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.
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 Phillipsburg 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!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
