Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I build my schedule around consistent walks, feeding times, and check-ins, so your pet gets reliable attention whether it's a quick midday visit or a longer stay while you're away. Your pet's safety comes first. In your home, I follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, stick to your pet's routine, and send updates so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Jule is amazing. She is so caring and compassionate and my dogs absolutely adore her. She has such a calming presence which is very helpful, since my dogs are very excitable. She was able to help me out on very short notice, which made my life less stressful. I highly recommend Jule! She will treat your fur-babies like her own.”
About: I have a lifelong passion for animals and extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs. I attended veterinary technician school and worked at an animal hospital, where I gained valuable knowledge about animal health, behavior, and safety. I've had dogs my entire life and currently care for four of my own, giving me daily experience with dogs of different personalities, sizes, and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have provided dog walking and pet sitting services for neighbors, family members, and friends over the years. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. My background allows me to provide attentive, reliable care while ensuring your pet stays happy, safe, and comfortable. My schedule as a part-time server gives me flexibility, allowing me to dedicate time to dog walking, pet sitting, and providing personalized care for pets throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so incorporating pet care into my routine comes naturally. When caring for pets, my priority is always their safety, comfort, and well-being. During walks, I make sure dogs get the exercise, mental stimulation, and attention they need while following any instructions provided by their owner. I pay close attention to each dog's pace, personality, and comfort level to ensure they have an enjoyable experience. I am experienced handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments and understand the importance of proper leash safety, hydration, and avoiding potentially unsafe situations. After each walk, I can provide updates on how your dog did and make sure they are settled comfortably before I leave. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their dog is being cared for with patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Tamaqua is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $27 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 October 2026, there are 928 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tamaqua. 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.
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 .
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.

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 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.
