“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.”
“We always appreciate how helpful Jahada is and how wonderfully she takes care of our pets while we’re away. Our cat warmed up to her quickly and we loved all the photos. Thank you again!”
“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.”
About: * Former Private Nanny Caring for Children and Pets ( decades of experience) * Training and Caring for Dogs, including my own dogs. * Pre-school teacher who has summers off, convenient care for vacationers. * Physically Fit, High Energy and able to be the alpha in any canine situation. I am currently off of work for the summer, as I am a teacher. I am available most days in summer, and weekends when school resumes. I may also be available in the after-school hours, depending on my teaching schedule. I have a fenced in yard for our dog. We feed her a mix of homemade dog food and raw food. She is groomed nightly and professionally once every 6 weeks. We make it a point to play with her, take her for long walks, and running at the park. Her care is our priority, as she is a member of our family.
“Grace was amazing! gentle and caring with our cats! We highly recommend Grace. She was on time, reliable and easy to communicate with. Everything was clean after, they were happy. Thank you so much!”
“Jennifer was amazing with my pets! She was always quick to respond, sent regular updates and photos, and made me feel at ease while I was away. She was also very flexible and accommodating, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“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.”
“A constant 5 star sitter for our cat. They have come in snow rain and hail over the years. If you need a person who will care about your pet and their needs, this is your one stop shop.”

Caring for Pets in My Home When pets stay in my home, I create a calm, comfortable environment that feels like a second home to them. I maintain their regular feeding, walking, and play routines so they stay relaxed and happy. Pets get plenty of attention, safe indoor/outdoor time (as allowed), and a clean space to rest. 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’m respectful of your space, keep everything clean, and make sure your home stays secure while you're away. I give lots of one-on-one attention, provide updates, and ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar surroundings.

I make sure they stay comfortable, happy, and well-loved, with plenty of affection, playtime, and attention to detail. I adapt to each pet’s personality—whether they’re shy, energetic, or need extra support—to give them the best experience possible.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,163 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pocono Summit. 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 Summit 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pocono Summit. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
