“She was so great! Our pups were well taken care of, and our house looked great after we returned from being away for a week. Our 3 dogs were not easy either as 1 is still very young and energetic, and the eldest is partially paralyzed. She was very patient and understanding with our dogs and great with communication with us while we were away. Very happy with her service!”
“Jen is the most amazing person to spend time with my very elderly soulmate. She is so kind and gentle. Camo was so happy when she came to visit. Jen made suggestions regarding how to make Camo more comfortable knowing he was coming to the end of his life. Her kindness and compassion were beyond compare.”
“Great Drop In visit for Nash & Colbly by Rochelle and her mom Venassa. These folks are wonderful and so glad to have someone I can trust check in on our dogs while we are away. Highly recommend them.”
About: Shelby is your local dog lover and fashion designer; while caring for your beloved pup, she will also give them tips on how they can improve their runway walk and enhance their personal style! Shelby has experience with, and loves, all types of dogs and had a beautiful Golden Retriever of her own for 15 years.

“As always Kathrine was able to drop in for our fur kids they were well taken care of and I got some great pictures from her during check in. I love having her to look after them when we go out of town now that the cats are older and need special care. I would recommend Kathrine to anyone who needs a sitter in her area.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and other pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a Yorkshire Terrier, a Mini Goldendoodle, and a ferret, so caring for animals is part of my daily life. I have experience with basic training, administering medications, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. I personally trained my dog to become a service animal, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to build trust with animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I make sure each pet receives plenty of attention and care. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine and will do my best to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walks, and daily routines to help pets feel secure and stress-free. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs while providing plenty of affection, exercise, and companionship. I respect both the pet’s environment and the owner’s home, ensuring everything is kept clean, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to provide reliable care and peace of mind while you’re away.
“Bruna was absolutely amazing with my puppy, Kaia. From the start, she really took the time to listen and understand Kaia’s needs, and it showed in how comfortable and happy Kaia was in her care. Kaia can be pretty wary of new people, so I was a little nervous at first, but she warmed up to Bruna so quickly, even though they had only met once before at the meet and greet. That says a lot about Bruna’s calm and patient approach. Throughout the entire experience, it was clear that Bruna genuinely cared and paid close attention to what Kaia needed. I could tell Kaia felt safe and well cared for, which gave me so much peace of mind (I was out of town for 1 week). I would absolutely trust her again, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and attentive sitter.”
“Annamaria was amazing!! She took great care of my little pup and made sure to send me pictures! She spent an hour keeping him busy and made me feel at ease since we were away for the day! Highly recommend and will use again when we visit!”

I focus on making their stay stress-free with consistent structure, affection, and supervision. Caring for Pets in Your Home (House Sitting / Drop-Ins) When I care for pets in your home, I prioritize keeping them in the routine they know best.

I adapt to each pet’s personality—whether they’re shy, energetic, or need extra support—to give them the best experience possible.

About: I've grown up with dogs all my life since I was five years old. In my family we've had three labradors two yellow one chocolate, golden retriever, and a neighbor German shepher With experience from walking, play, dog park, care, medication, food, training etc. I'm quite flexible with schedules. Will do morning, afternoon, evening and overnight on weekends and weekdays. I make and sell pottery online in my spare time on Etsy SunshinyPottery. I keep cookies in pocket if outside for play and or walks to keep nearby. I've trained my dog to understand when we're going somewhere by saying "straight to the car".

About: I own a young pitbull named Loki who I bought from an inexperienced owner. Loki was quite timid and malnourished when I brought him home. Through careful training, love, and of course food he is now trusting and healthy. I wish to purchase another pitbull in the future and give Loki the brother I believe he deserves. Since I’m off from school I have plenty of free time to take care of your little/big one. Once classes begin again I’m sure a schedule can be worked out. If I am provided a schedule I will make sure your dog is on that schedule. If it is up to me my dogs have their own schedule I will most likely do the same for your pet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Pocono Lake on Rover is $21 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,165 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pocono Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Pocono Lake stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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.
