“Allison and Nick were so great, you can tell how much they love animals!! We got lots of good updates and they took such good care of our pup. Their big backyard with a tall fence is perfect. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!”
“Hannah and her sister are so great! They send lots of pics and updates and took the best care of our Bobby while we were gone for a week! He came home happy and very tired! I definitely recommend!”
“Nan and her husband did a wonderful job watching our senior dog overnight. This is the first time I've left her with strangers and I was very anxious. Nan sent picture updates every couple of hours so I could relax and enjoy my trip.”
“Mindi did a great job. Gizmo needed extra care due to his age she handled it like a pro! Gizmo needed meds and used an inhaler and had an ear infection at the time. I highly recommend Mindi she is very attentive and takes special care when dog sitting!”
“We were so lucky to have connected with such a great family at the last minute when our original sitter fell through. They helped him get warmed up with a meet and greet and then our 3 month old pup was excited to go back the next day to stay. He found his home away from for a week and was sad leaving his new friends. Diana and her family took great care of our boy while we were on vacation, helped house train him, and taught him a few commands. It was nice having peace of mind that he was in good hands and getting updates and pictures while we were missing our fur baby. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!”
“Millie was EXCELLENT with our sweet pup! She provided plenty of pictures and updates everyday. She was super patient when our baby didn’t want to eat. She was very responsive to our messages, was ready for us when we dropped her off and had her all packed up when we picked her up. Would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again in the future! This is definitely a safe and loving place for your fur babies!”
“We were so pleased by the care received from Mariana and Mark. They treated our girls like their own. Huge relief when you can find a sitter that’s reliable when traveling.”
“Anne did a wonderful job taking care of my little dog. She was extremely responsive and kept me up to date on how things were going throughout the stay. I would highly recommend her.”
“This was the first time I used Rover, Alicia was great! I went on vacation and had to leave my senior Lab mix Sugiebear behind for the first time. She is 12 yrs old and has some health issues. Alicia's home is very neat and was accommodating to my Sugiebear 's needs. Alicia took great care of her and sent me pics and updates everyday. I also had car trouble coming home which caused me to be late picking Sugiebear up, Alicia was very understanding. I will definitely be using Alicia again and I will be recommending her to everyone I know. Many thanks”
“Heather took excellent care of my Millie while we were away. It was short notice and she jumped on it despite her holiday plans. I am so grateful and will be using her again when we have to go out of town!”

About: I am a college student returning home for the summer. I am not only looking to pet sit for money but also because I don't get an adequate time with animals at school and want to jam my summer with pet love! I will be working a job over the summer but I am home and will have breaks almost everyday. With notice I can also take off work to spend time with your pets. There are few times I will not be home between May 12th-August 15th. I have had dogs all my life and know how to care for a variety of breeds. My current dog actually has some special care taking needs so I know how to adapt to different dogs needs. I am an active person who would love to go on as many walks as needed and entertain your pet as needed.
“Rose did a wonderful job watching our Ember! She stayed with her for 5 days while we were out of town, sent lots of pictures, and kept me updated. When we met prior to Ember’s stay, I could see her love of dogs in her manner of communicating with Ember. Rose strikes me as one of those people that just has a special connection and understanding of dogs that goes beyond what normal people see. She also has dogs of her own so I was happy Ember had some friends to play with! I will happily entrust her to watch Ember again for our future travels. Thank you so much Rose! ?”
About: I have an overflowing love for all fur babies, so caring for your pets will bring joy to my life and help you out at the same time! In college, I worked at a dog kennel and daycare and learned a lot about caring for different personalities of dog. Growing up, we had a German Shepard. I now have a 3 year old golden retreiver who i raised from a puppy and trained myself. She is very friendly and playful, gets along with every kind of dog and person. I also have 2 cats who are siblings and just great snuggles and so playful. I have a decent sized house and a half acre fenced yard, which is quiet and out of the city (though close to the small town with plenty of sidewalks for walks). I currently work from home on Wednesdays. Weekends are a but more unpredictable but when I am home is the only time I'll mark available. Mondays, tuesday, Thursdays, and fridays I work 8am-5pm. On my work days I am still happy to take overnight guests or stop for a walk or check in after work, during lunch, or before work. I have plenty of space for them to run around. I have a submissive and playful dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate them if you desire, and there is enough room in my house to separate them from my animals if needed.
“We had a great experience with Amber. She was always quick to answer and flexible with our schedule to drop off/pick up. She kept us updated with pictures of Ginger and was very kind. Her dog Tater and Ginger had a great time together! We would definitely recommend her.”

Absolutely great! Our pup looked to be extremely happy and very well taken care of! Would definitely use again. She provides picture updates and quick response as well as flexible pick up and drop off times! 10 out of 10!! I would definitely book her and trust her with your furry friend!
Joscelyn and her family took such good care of Willow! My husband and I had no worries whatsoever about her staying with them and felt we could fully relax while we were away. I honestly think our dog had more fun with them playing with their dog than at our house 😂. We WILL be taking Willow over again when we have to be out of town.

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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Allen can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Allen home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Allen.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Allen. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
You and your Allen sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 IN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
