“We are very happy with our experience! Franki was great with our dog, easy to communicate with, and we felt comfortable leaving our dog in her care. We will definitely rebook with her.”
About: I have a dog and cat and have always had animals from ducks and rabbits to dogs and cats. I love to travel and understand the need to find reliable pet care. I would love to give you complete peace of mind while you are away. I work from home and have two animals I care for. They are usually chilling by my side. I have time to come check on your pets and give them the attention and care they need while you are away. I do not offer boarding. I will respect your home and your rules for your pets as if they were my own. I understand they each have their own personalities and specific care needs.
“Alexander & Jaycee were phenomenal with Callie! We had such a wonderful experience with Alexander & Jaycee. From start to finish, everything was incredibly smooth and stress free. They were attentive, communicative, and clearly cared so much about Callie. She was comfortable, well cared for, and happy the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind. What truly stood out was their flexibility and willingness to help at the last minute. They were so accommodating and responsive when we needed them most. It is clear they genuinely love what they do, and that made all the difference. We are beyond grateful for the care they provided and would absolutely trust them again with Callie. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”
“Jami was wonderful with both of my cats, especially my senior cat who has additional dietary needs. I was able to relax and enjoy vaca knowing that my kitties were being well cared for. Would definitely use her again for our next trip.”
“Wes has done a fantastic job with drop-in visits for my goldendoodle. She's still in her puppy phase, and he makes time for walks and playing in the backyard. He has always been on-time and communicates well after each visit. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog care!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 12, but solely taking care of my pup and kitty on my own since I was in college 7 years ago! I am familiar with cats with medical issues since mine had diabetes. I am also very familiar with dogs and cat at any age. I’m currently working from home, but only for about 10 hours out of the week! I am able to take care of your pup or kitty any day of the week unless stated otherwise! I'm also an avid runner so I run at least 4-5 times a week. I'm more than happy to take your fur baby for some exercise as well! I used to babysit two cats that were extremely cuddly on a daily basis! I have a small dog park where I can take your fur baby to play, and if your fur baby is at my home, I can guarantee that they will be in a safe and quiet neighborhood (especially for my sensitive fur babies that are scared very easily by loud noises).
About: I have had cats for 15 years. I also pet sit dogs for various people. I have pet sat overnight gave potty breaks and playtime and feedings. I have a very open schedule.I enjoy and love animals. I had five cats I have experience with cats and dogs enjoy spending time with them.

About: I’m Sarah and I would love to be your pet sitter for your dogs or cats. Since I was a kid I have kept and cared for many animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, rodent, horses, and frogs! It would be my pleasure to meet and care for your furry friend. Through Rover I have sat for many dog breeds including: huskies, labs, great danes, leonbergers, spaniels, dachshunds, beagles, black mouth curs, bulldogs, pugs, pit bulls, malteses, and more. They all have their unique personalities and energy level requirements that I am capable of providing for each breed. Currently, I specialize in trusted at-home overnight care, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I am also an excellent communicator with pet parents while you are away, sending plenty of photos and updates to make sure you are perfectly at ease with the care being given to your fuzzy children. I can currently care for up to 3 dogs per household. Shoot me a message and let’s connect today! Currently, Rover pet care is a top priority. I am also self-employed, but I am able to stay with your pets all day during in-home bookings, unless I step out to run errands or hit the gym. Dog walking means allowing your dog to get the energy out that they need while also receiving the enrichment of being safely outside. For in-home visits your pets will get their breakfast, lunch, and dinner right on time with any needed medication administered just as you instruct. Playtime is a favorite of mine with any animal I care for, just show me their favorite toys! When any questions or concerns arise I do not hesitate to contact the pet parents.
About: I have grown up around pets my whole life. Currently I have a small Havanese and a cat, but if it were up to me I would have a-lot more! I have previous experience watching my neighbors Basset hound and Rottweiler for weeks at a time while they were on vacation. This consisted of many walks a day, feeding the dogs, picking up poop out of the yard, and staying the night at their house. I also have pet sit for a family with two Yorkies, a Chihuahua and a bunny. One summer I nannied/ dog sat for a family with a toddler and golden doodle three times a week. One unique experience I have is caring for a blind and deaf elderly dog. I had to watch her while she went to the bathroom, carry her up the stairs, feed her separately from the other dogs, and pick her up when she fell. I believe that I can tackle any challenge and give your pets the best care they deserve! I am currently a student with classes in the mid morning. I could let pets out/ dog walk in the morning before class and I am free in the afternoons and able to stay overnight if needed. I would take into consideration my surroundings in a house before taking my eyes off the animal. I don’t plan on watching animals in my own home so I would trust that the owners provide a safe environment for their pets. I would have a meet and greet with the owner and pets prior to watching them to fully understand what the owner expects of me.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I had big dogs as pets and I have experience dog sitting both big and small dogs. I work part-time in the evenings so I can drop in to check on your dogs or puppies during the day. I'm available 9am to 4pm I am not able to care for dogs at my own home, but if I were to care for your dog in your home I would give them plenty of pets and make sure they're given plenty of attention.
About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes! From being little to an adult, I have taken care of/owned all types of animals. Currently I have a Tibetan mastiff, a keeshond and a Pomeranian! I also have a 125 gallon fish tank. Animals have always been my hobby and I cannot wait to help give you a piece of mind that your loved baby is taken care of while you are away! Scheduling will be dependent on what time is needed. Care on weekends would be open to any time needed. Week days would have to be scheduled. I treat and love all pets like they are my own. I would ensure their safety, and make them feel loved while the family is away!
About: I have had cats & medium-to-large breed dogs my entire life. I have experience with senior dogs, especially grumpy cats, and giving oral medications. I am currently a stay-at-home dog mom to my spoiled rottweiler, Remington; so I have time during the day for walks or check-ins. I am a stay-at-home dog mom, so I have my days & evenings free to do check-ins or walks. I do NOT currently offer housesitting or boarding because of my spoiled rottweiler. 🐶💓 I ensure leashes are well fitting and follow all instructions provided. I secure any escape routes, and double check doors are locked or secure. I also make sure any choking hazards are put up or disposed of. Ensuring the safety of your pet is my number 1 priority.
About: I am retired and able to take excellent care of your loved ones. I have been sharing love for animals of my own & others for over 50 years. I worked in the medical field for over 20 years cleaning up bodily fluids and making others feel safe and cared for. I have a portable wet cleaning machine for little accidents that does a great job. In the past I have been bonded and insured as well as a fiduciary. You can trust me to nurture your babies as I would my own. 4 legged co-workers are my favorite. I am retired so I am very flexible. Caring for animals is not a job; it is fun and very rewarding! My schedule revolves around you and your pets needs and wants. Every animal prefers their own environment, even if you are gone. I am happy to come into their home and take care of their needs while respecting your space. I will bring a portable wet cleaning machine for any accidents that does a great job. I am happy to sweep up hair for you as well using your vac.
“Amara was wonderful with my dog for a drop in! We have a very excitable 80lb dog and she was so great with her! She was communicative, professional, and I loved all the updates and photos of my pup from her visit! We will absolutely be using Amara again 🐾”
About: Howdy, there I’m Jayla! I’ve been working with pets and animals for a few years now. I have experience with animals of many different species, ages, and sizes. I’ve worked with cats to hamsters to farm animals! I’ve given animals the proper medications that were needed. I absolutely love working with pets and animals they bring me so much joy and purpose! I am currently working part-time so that allows me more time to spend with your pets! I am currently available Monday-Friday from 8:45am-2:00pm and later that evening 6:45pm-9:30pm. No day is the same, so I might have some free time in between! I have a fenced in yard, and plenty of space for your fur baby to get some exercise. The pets that come to visit, love how peaceful the environment is, they have plenty to explore.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats for friends and family over the years. Along with my own two girls, a senior dog and a senior cat. I have a huge heart for animals and love them so much!!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Allen
I had a great experience with Cruz. He followed all of my instructions and was so sweet, patient, and caring with Astro and Lola. He spent time playing with them and made sure they were well taken care of. It made me feel so much better knowing they were in good hands. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him! 😊
Alec was fantastic! He stopped by to let my dog, Remi, out, provided updates along the way, and sent the Rover photo, which gave me great peace of mind. Everything went smoothly, and I really appreciated his reliability and communication. It was especially helpful that he was able to help out during such a busy time for me and over a holiday weekend. Highly recommend Alec and would absolutely book with him again!
Olivia did an amazing job caring for our pets. She arrived on time, followed all care instructions, and kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos — which we really appreciated. She’s dependable, professional, and clearly loves animals. Our pets warmed to her right away. Highly recommend and we’ll be booking her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Allen is $11 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $20 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 November 2026, there are 392 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Allen. 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 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
