“Sage was wonderful with our pets. We booked her to house sit and stay with our two dogs and two cats. She was very responsive while we were away and kept us up to date on our pets and how they were doing. We definitely recommend her and will use her again.”
“The second time I have asked Karena to look after my dog, and this time was difficult, as the house lost power for 18 hours during the middle of a heat wave, while the internet was effectively out for two full days. Karena was a great sport, extremely communicative, patient, and showed real care and concern for my dog under the circumstances. I really appreciated this and would absolutely have her back.”

About: My training skills make me a professional dog expert where I've studied different behaviors in different dog breeds. I'm the guy who's great for professional potty training to your little fur baby that need special attention and a good mentor for learning their habits in this doggie dog world. I'm available most days Wednesday through Saturday and sometimes Sundays usually 10am to 7pm are my best times. 8pm is my latest shift I can work. I care for pets with boundaries and responsible relationships in a meaningful way. I'm mostly able to care for your pets at the client's house. My home has a no pet policy unfortunately.
About: I love pets of all kinds. My kids are with their dad every other week so I'm super available during those times. I typically work with cats and dogs but I'm willing to check on any of your animal babies! I'm a teacher so summers are a great time for me to help. I'm home early so I have lots of time in the afternoon. I have one very friendly and sweet dog. Not fenced but very big back yard. Lots of room to explore walk and run around. Two kids who absolutely love animals of all kinds.
“If I could give Abigail 10 out of 5 stars, I would! She was extremely patient and just wonderful with my three dogs. I have a one year old dalmatian pup , and she can be a bit of a handful at times , and Abigail was so great with her. I came home to my house just as clean, if not cleaner than when I left it. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and she really went over and above. She kept me updated with how everyone was doing throughout the entire trip and it really allowed me to have a nice vacation that was worry free. I highly recommend her , and I'm looking forward to using her in the future. Thank you Abagail!”

I’m currently a part time college student and am working part time. I have class 2 days a week and work 5 days a week for 4 hours. I have experience with caring for pets in a safe and loving environment. I make sure they have fresh water, food, and plenty of attention while keeping their space clean and secure. I will also follow the owner’s instructions and make sure their pets feel comfortable and cared for.

I care for pets with a mix of love, attention, and routine. At home or at a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking to their usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime. I always give lots of affection, keep their space clean, and pay close attention to their behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy. Every pet is unique, and I do my best to meet their individual needs with patience and care!

“If we could give Jeni 10 out of 5 stars we would! She is an incredible sitter, and we know our dog was in the best hands. Great communication and attention to detail! We could tell even from the photos she sent that our dog was having the best time. Thank you Jeni!!!”
“Kristina was reliable, trustworthy, and stayed in touch regularly while we were across the country. She took great care of our senior dog and catered to all the little specificities that he is grown to expect in his old age! She also cared for our cat who spent most of her time hiding but came out for food and litter box which Kristina had ready for her. She also handled a power outage in the summer heat! She was a star and would definitely recommend her to my friends & family!”
“Annaliese, Did an amazing job. She was extremely flexible and accommodating with the schedule changes. She kept Ava on her normal routine, and made the entire process stress-free. Ava was well cared for, and it was clear she received lots of attention and consistency. She was also very respectful of my apartment, which gave me added peace of mind while I was away. Thank you for being so dependable, thoughtful, and helpful—I truly appreciated it! Annaliese. I will definitely us Anneliese again. ☺️”

Kendall is an absolute gem. My boys are picky, and they immediately loved her- even my pup that is scared of everything and everyone! She kept us updated and sent photos and my pups were happy to be home with someone that cared for them. Thank you a million times Kendall!
Julia has top notch communication! She sent all the cute photos of our babies while we were away which made us feel like they were in such good hands. She also went above and beyond cleaning up when one of our old man dogs had an accident while we were away. We are so grateful for the love and care she showed our pups!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Allen is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $110 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 Allen 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 Allen 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 Allen 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.

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.
