“Melanie is super attentive to our senior dog and she sends us updates while we were away for 10 days and also very flexible when our pickup is slightly delayed. Highly recommend!!

About: Hi, I'm Chrystal, a new pet sitter in Hellertown with 22 years of experience owning and caring for dogs. I've cared for puppies, seniors, medication needs and dogs who need lots of love and attention. On visits, your pet gets any specific needs met along with a potty break and playtime, fresh water, and a photo update after every stay. A bit about me: I grew up with pets ranging from a pony to a fox as well as dogs and cats. As an adult, I have been lucky enough to have a Rottie, Frenchie and Boston Terrier. But no current pets at this time. I work from home full time and would love some company or chance to stretch my legs and do drop-ins I offer drop-ins, boarding and daycare. and I'd love to set up a free Meet & Greet so we can all get comfortable before booking. I can do walks or drop-ins during the day or in the mornings and evenings as needed. I'm an early riser so early visits are fine. I have no other pets in the household but do have a child in the house. Our yard is not fenced so any potty breaks would be supervised and leashed.
“Anacelia is a dog lover who took the time to meet with us in advance to make sure she knew what our dog would need during her stay. We felt comfortable leaving our dog with Anacelia and her family!”
“Very communicative, very kind, sent me pictures of my babies, and accomodated the needs of my 13 year old dog and 2 very picky kitties. And at time of pick up she had every one and every thing I brought to her out and ready to go. 5 stars.”
“Tracy was nice - she video called prior to the booking, was very responsive and sent multiple updates each day. My dog was so tired after coming home from playing and having fun!”
“Peter is highly responsible and provided excellent care for my dog, offering regular updates and pictures, and demonstrating prompt responsiveness in communication. He kept my dog engaged with play, ensuring he did not feel lonely. Undoubtedly, Peter will be my 1st choice for caring for Lucky during my next vacation, and I recommend him to other pet owners.”
“Khalaya did a spectacular job caring for my rambunctious Maine Coon kitten Wesley while away in Europe. Communicated well with daily updates and pics with stories of playtime and reports of how well he was behaving. No brainer choice for future boarding arrangements. Thanks!”
“Carlina took excellent care of my senior dog. I received frequent updates and pictures while we were away, which made me feel so much more at ease. My dog came home happy and tired, exactly what I expected. I would absolutely use Carlina again in the future.”
“If you’re reading this comment then you should stop reading and BOOK ASAP! Emma was the best! 5/5 10/10 all the STARS! Great communication from asking questions and relaying drop off and pick up times. Couple updates daily with pictures and video. Couldn’t be happier! We will be bringing our beloved Monty back to be with his new Best Friend! Thanks again! Hope anyone reading this helps them in picking you! You are a blessing!”
“Amanda was great with our dog Hugo who has separation anxiety. He enjoyed the huge fenced yard to run around in. Amanda sent updates about Hugo and pictures. I would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I grew up in farm and ranch country caring for horses, cows, goats, cats and lots of dogs, so animal care has been part of my everyday life for as long as I can remember. Dogs are my favorite. I'm experienced with big, high-energy breeds like Bernese Mountain Dogs and German Shepherds, and I'm just as comfortable with small dogs. I have three of my own: Willie (a Dachshund), Shelby (an Australian Shepherd) and Reba (a Cavapoo). I love the outdoors, so your dog gets real exercise, like morning hikes at Nockamixon, Ralph Stover and the Delaware Canal towpath. You'll get photo and video updates every day. My work schedule varies week to week, but I always plan pet care around it. Your dog gets a long morning walk or hike before I leave, and my mom is often home during the day for potty breaks and company. Evenings are for walks, play and couch time with the pack. I usually have a couple of full days off each week to spend with the dogs, and I’m happy to work around your schedule for drop-offs and pickups. When boarding, your dog stays in my home on just over two acres in quiet, rural Ottsville. The property isn’t fenced, so guest dogs are always on leash or a long line outside, with plenty of room to sniff and explore safely. My three dogs are friendly and social, and every stay starts with a meet-and-greet so I can make sure everyone gets along. For house sitting and drop-ins, I keep your pet’s feeding, walking and medication routine exactly the same and treat your home with respect. Every dog gets its own cozy space to rest, and I can crate if your dog is crate-trained.
“Theresa took such good care of our two senior weimaraners---it was a short stay (this time), but they came home happy and well cared for. Theresa was very careful to completely understand the dogs' needs (diets, outdoor breaks, exercise, etc.) and was very accommodating for their 2 large beds. (She even slept with them downstairs that night rather than wake them to head upstairs!) We will not hesitate to arrange for her to care for them again; I think they miss Louie!”
“Missy is the best! I averaged about four photos every morning and then again later in the day that she sent to me. My very active Boston terrier had an absolute blast! Thank you, thank you thank you!”
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life! Growing up, I had a Greyhound, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also spent years pet sitting for friends and family, caring for both small and large dogs. We currently have a dog of our own, a loving mix breed we rescued in 2021. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’ll treat your dog with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. Im a full time work from home mom with a flexible schedule. I am available primarily Monday through Friday but can also open my availability throughout the weekends if needed. We have a small not fenced in backyard. Our loving 5 year old mix breed pup loves walks and is always happy for extra company on our daily trips around the neighborhood. All animals are treated like family and are given limitless love. I have a 2 year old who loves all the puppy cuddles but understands boundaries.

Ana was an absolute pleasure to work with! From the very first message she was warm, friendly, and super responsive. Communication was excellent the entire time — she kept us updated with photos and check-ins so we never had to wonder how the pups were doing. Our dogs clearly had a fantastic time with her. They came home happy, relaxed, and tired in the best way. It’s obvious Ana genuinely loves dogs and knows how to make them feel comfortable and cared for. We feel so lucky to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!
Kelsey and her family took great care of Murphy while we were away. She sent updates and pictures of him enjoying his time with her kiddos. It was easy to see that they loved him and really seemed to be very at home with the family. I would not hesitate to have Murphy stay with them again. This morning I think he actually misses the kids!

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 .
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.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
