“We had a great experience. We needed someone to take care of our dogs last minute and Kayla responded very quick and was overall very communicative. She sent plenty of updates, looks like our dogs had a great time while we were away. The whole process of dropping them off and picking them up was quick and easy. I have no complaints, would definitely recommend!”
“Cynthia did a great job. She responded to my booking request quickly, sent pictures as updates, and always had another dog there for mine to play with, which was nice. My dog was very happy upon pickup, in the kind of way that he had fun.”
“First time using Ms Deborah and loved her! She was quick to respond with my questions and sent updates and pictures everyday. I will be using her again in the future!”
“So lucky to have found Ms. Jeanette. I needed to take a quick weekend trip out of town and Ms. Jeanette is amazing with Khatari and constantly communicates and sends updates throughout the day. She feels like family and I trust her 💯 with my pup . Will definitely be a returning customer 😊”
“Cheryl did a great job on carying for Lucy last weekend, while we traveled to Jacksonville-NC, to see our son, a marine student at Camp Johnson. She is a real dog lover, and does an outstanding job on keeping you posted on everything about your dog while you are away. We hope she will always be available when we need her. Don't think twice if you need her. We gave a 5 stars ✨ because there is no 6 stars option available.”
“Diamond is such a phenomenal sitter! She had a birthday party for one of my pups complete with pictures, treats, gifts, and a party hat! I know my pups feel comfortable with her because when we arrive they run directly to the door with tails wagging and leashes dragging!”
“Catherine and her family were great! Our dogs loved to stay at their home. She kept us updated every day and we were able to relax knowing they were in good hands. Thank you so much for caring for our fur babies.”

About: I love pets so much! I grew up with a cocker spaniel and now have three cats! I love all animals and love to help! I am also willing to house sit. I work Monday-Friday until 5pm typically but am able to afternoon take care of pets! I am free weekends. I am also able to take care of pets overnight stays/house sit! Works well with going to work and then coming back home to the babies :) I have three cats of my own and grew up raising a beautiful cocker spaniel baby :) I love pets and have my own car but no large backyard.
“We couldn't have asked for a better host for our pup, Chloe! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. Daniel sent wonderful updates and pictures time to time, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Kids were always happy to see her updates. Chloe had the best time playing with their two dogs and made good friends, Arlo and Deebo—they were friendly and welcoming to her from the start! She came home happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. We are already looking forward to booking with them again!”

“Parvathi did such a great job taking care of Charlie! She sent the cutest photos and helpful updates.

She always wiped his paws and kept him clean after each walk. We'll definitely be booking again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Allen
Catherine is a kind and generous caregiver. She opened her home and her family to take in our somewhat-spoiled Great Danes for an overnight stay. From the meet and greet thru our pick-up of our fur-babies, she showed them great warmth, care and compassion. She even admitted letting one of the boys sleep in her room beside the bed when he cried in loneliness. Our dogs were completely at ease when we picked them up, demonstrating that they were fully loved and cared for while we were away. I'm grateful for Catherine's attention to our fur-babies and hope that we will have repeat visits.
Vedad and Karina took incredible care of Izzy while we were away for an extended vacation. We received pictures daily, and super communicative. They have a lovely home with a great yard so plenty of space for pups to play! They do not have pets themselves, which is a rare plus for those who have dogs that are better suited alone :)
Stephanie and her family were very accommodating to Bailey and Bentley. I can always tell when they enjoy the care in my absence. Bailey and Bentley were happy, safe and well cared for. I appreciate the understanding with my travel interruption thanks for the extra time you gave to care for my babies.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Allen is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $61 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.

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.
96% 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:
- 87% 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.
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 NC 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.
