“Alec stayed in our home and took care of our girl Phoebe over the Christmas break. Everything went perfectly and we returned to a happy and well loved dog. We are always thankful for Alec and his kind and professional manner and are happy to give him the highest recommendation!”
“He met with us with little lead time, when I was tight on needing a new sitter. My dog was immediately comfortable with him. He was proactive with letting me know of any issues. A huge plus was his flexibility to work with my schedule.”
“David R. Is by far the finest Dog Sitter I have encountered in my 30+ years as a pet owner. David cared for my two French bulldogs, Alma and Jessup, for five nights while I attended a conference. David sent comprehensive daily updates along with adorable pictures of my pups. He promptly responded to any questions and all inquiries! I would recommend David to anyone looking to pamper their pets!”
“Kaela was amazing with our babies! We have one very shy girl who takes awhile to warm up to new people. Kaela went above and beyond to help our Maggie feel comfortable with her. Our girls had a great week with Kaela and I think they missed their new friend when we came home! So thankful to have found a great sitter to watch our babies when we travel!!”
“Amanda is incredible! She cared for my pet like they were her own, kept me updated the whole time, and left my home spotless. I felt completely at ease while I was away. I’ll absolutely book her again! She’s trustworthy, kind, intuitive, and clearly takes pride in what she does.”
About: I provide reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s personality and routine. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, medication reminders, walks, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my schedule, especially since I will be retiring in June of this year. I will have a flexible routine and plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, playtime, feeding schedules, and giving pets the attention and companionship they deserve. I currently have two dogs at home and will also have a privacy fence installed in June to provide a safe outdoor space. At this time, I would prefer caring for pets in their own homes where they are most comfortable and able to maintain their normal routines. I make safety a priority by carefully following feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and household rules. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for family, friends, and Rover for years and am excited by every opportunity I get to spend with them! I've been a dog owner myself for over 5 years. I can easily adjust my sitting style for dogs with a lot of energy or ones that are a little more relaxed. I am happy to sit in and give belly rubs or take them out on a long walk with me! My home has a fenced in backyard and there are plenty of places to walk near me. I typically work full time during the week at a non-profit theatre, I'm always happy to meet in person before we make final arrangements. I love taking care of dogs and I'd be happy to spend some time with the dog in your life!
About: I’m familiar with almost every breed, and have been training them since I was 10 years old. My last dog was a therapy dog I took into nursing homes, but his time has past. :( I have all my time to spend with your pets. I am available weekends too, very flexible schedule. Will walk daily and play with them depending on age etc. I have a fenced in yard with no other pets. I am looking for a dog for myself to adopt and turn into a therapy dog, so I don’t mind training or corrective actions if wanted/ needed. I don’t like crates, but that’s me, and will respect your wishes. If at your house, you make the rules and I follow them, willing to FaceTime etc. whatever you need.

My goal is to provide the most excellent pet-care and house-sitting experience for all my families✨ I work primarily around the Trexlertown/greater Lehigh Valley area. A little about me: I am a local visual artist with my BFA from Kutztown University and my MA from Queen's University Belfast. I am currently a studio artist with Artsquest located in Bethlehem, PA. I split my time between my 2 passions: art and pets. ♥️ At home, my sister and I share the responsibility of our 14 year-old rescue Papillon, Wembley.♥️🐾 My time with Wembley has completely raised my standards for the care that I provide and expect.♥️ Caring for a senior dog with several medications has given me a love for routine and an on-going sense of urgency around timing and planning.✅ Wembley is my entire world. ♥️ My goal as your pet-sitter is to provide the level of care I would expect for Wembley. 🙏 I am experienced with specialized animal care and strict schedule requirements. The pets that I’ve watched (including my own) have had: 🐾 restricted dietary needs 🐾designated feeding windows 🐾scheduled medications 🐾 blindness & disability 🐾as-needed emergency medication precautions Please let me know your pets history and local Vet upon meeting!

About: I grew up with and have owned dogs and cats my whole life. I’d love to care for your pets as I would my own! I understand the importance of a reliable, quality pet sitter because I use Rover frequently myself for my dogs, who require extra care. I have three dogs of my own: • Riley – a 12-year-old Beagle (I help manage her lymphoma medication) • Penelope – an 8-year-old Aussie mix (I cared for her after recent knee surgery) • Nyx – a 3-year-old Border Collie mix (I help manage his separation anxiety) I work full time during the week , but am available on the weekends for drop in visits and walks. Day of requests are welcome! I may be available for some weekday drop ins after 5pm if you live near by , so feel free to message me! I am happy to care for your pets as instructed. I am certified in Cat and Dog first aid, and have experience administering medication if needed.
“Maria was an amazing dog sitter! She came to our house ahead of watching them to meet our pups and get information about their daily routine. When she watched the dogs, she sent daily photos and updates, providing us with ease of mind while away on our trip. We would love to have Maria back to watch our dogs in the future. :)”
About: I have loved and taken care of pets all of my life. Currently, I have a 7 year old pit mix named Hoagie. I am willing to do pretty much anything to keep a pet happy and healthy! My own pets are spoiled rotten. My family has fostered and rescued all sorts of animals ranging from puppies to squirrels and even deer. Growing up I had goats, chickens, rabbits, ducks, geese, turtles and fish along with cats and dogs. I am comfortable with any age or size dog and any sort of other animal there is. I also worked at Petsmart for some time and was trained in pet care and safety. My entire life I have had dogs and all sorts of other pets and there’s nothing that makes me happier than making their little tails wag. I am currently working full time out of the Quakertown area. Mon-Fri I typically work 8-5pm. Sat & Sun are open. I am available for drop ins and walks any day before or after those times. On my off days, I am available any time. Keeping a close eye on your pet while you’re away is of the up most importance. If your pet needs crating, training or just to get some energy out, I want to make sure it’s in a safe and enjoyable environment.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Trexlertown
This is the first time I booked with Tabatha, and I had a great experience! She kept in touch about how my cats were doing and sent a lot of updates with photos. She is very intuitive about what your cats need and how to interract with them. I would book sitting with her again if it works for her!
Mike was outstanding at communication throughout his stay with our 2 dogs, cat and lizard! This was our first time using him and I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again. He was responsive and even sent multiple photos of our beloved animals. Our animals got a lot of exercise and loving care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Trexlertown is $41 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $53 per night. 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Trexlertown walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Trexlertown maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Trexlertown 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Trexlertown. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
