About: I am bilingual, full of energy and very friendly to dogs and humans. I have experience with dog sitting, playing, walking, feeding. I’ve dog sat all 6 family dogs, and my own. I’m currently a full time student with very flexible hours. I am available on all days of the week. I am able to check on pets before or after classes. I can make sure your pet is comfortable and happy. I know how to clean up after them. I will play, and scratch their bellies and ears. If they want an outside adventure we can do that too. Whatever is needed for the pet is what the pet will get.

About: As a proud dog mom of two, I have lifelong experience caring for pups of all shapes and sizes—from large, high-energy breeds to small, gentle ones. I’ve spent years helping friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, and overnight care. I know every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I’m dedicated to providing safe, attentive care along with frequent photo updates so you can always have peace of mind while you're away! I am currently a college student working to cover my tuition, which gives me great flexibility throughout the week! Because of my flexible schedule, I am readily available for drop-in visits, energetic walks, and overnight house sitting at your home to make sure your pets maintain their normal routine. At the moment, I don't host pets in my own home, as I prefer to provide care right in the comfort of your pet’s familiar space! Whether it's a dog or a cat, staying in their own home helps the babies feel so much safer, cozy, and relaxed instead of having to adjust to a whole new environment. Whether I’m dropping in, going for a walk, or staying overnight, I pride myself on being sweet, polite, incredibly respectful, and extra tidy with your home.

About: What sets me apart is my personal, hands-on experience caring for both a dog and two cats, so I truly understand different needs and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable—whether working with energetic puppies, shy cats, or older pets that need a calmer approach. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their routine consistent. I also pay close attention to behavior and small changes, so I can respond quickly if something seems off. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own dog and two cats every day. I’m used to early mornings for feeding and walks, as well as checking in throughout the day for playtime, cleaning, and attention. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily fit in visits, walks, or check-ins during mornings, afternoons, or evenings depending on what’s needed. I’m consistent, reliable, and make sure pet care always comes first. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free at all times. In my home, I keep a calm, clean environment and make sure pets have space to relax, play, and follow their usual routines. I’m careful with doors, food, and anything they shouldn’t get into, and I always supervise them during care. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep the pet’s routine consistent. I focus on building trust with each pet through patience, gentle handling, and lots of attention so they feel secure even when their owner is away.

“Sage is a great pet sitter! Our two cats took to her quickly during the meeting, and she provided great updates each visit. Sage was also very communicative while cat sitting during a bad thunderstorm, helping make sure the babies were okay if power went out. Our home and cat areas were clean and well-kept when we returned. Thank you, Sage!!”

About: A lifelong cat lover, I got my pet-sitting start with greyhounds — basically giant cats that can hit 40 mph and then lounge for 20 hours straight. If there's a dog bed, a couch, or a sunny patch of floor, these couch potatoes will find it! I love working with all breeds and sizes, from small dogs to big mixed breeds. It's through greyhounds that I first learned every pet has its own personality; even within one breed, and I pay attention to what each one actually needs. Walks or sprints (within fences of course), cozy downtime, and feeding and dietary needs — raw diets, allergies, or just keeping mealtime on schedule — are all part of care. I always keep a close eye on leash handling. Sighthounds especially can sometimes get distracted by everything from a rustling leaf to a squirrel three yards away. Since every dog pulls, weaves, or settles differently, I read each one and adapt. When I'm not on pet duty, I'm an artist and researcher. I grew up in this area and recently moved back after 25 years in New York City. I'm still getting reacquainted with the area, and always up for local recommendations! I generally work from home on my laptop computer, with occasional trips to my studio. Making your pet a priority and arranging my schedule around theirs is not a problem. I make sure all house rules stay intact! From feeding time to bathroom breaks. My flexible schedule allows me to put your pets needs first!

About: Hello I’m Jasmyn, I grew up with dogs all of my life and as I got older I would watch my friends and peers dogs. I’m familiar with older dogs and giving medications, nap times water breaks and outside time. I’m available any time of the week and a typical day would look like, walks, cuddles, play time and medication administration if needed. I am at the hospital 3 times out the week but my schedule is pretty flexible for whenever you need a dog walked. Morning and evenings and especially weekends work. I usually follow any rules you enforce but I usually do the usual, keep them on a leash and monitoring them to make sure they’re being safe.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs big and small since I was 10 years old. Family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to fed, walk, and keep their pets company. I’m currently working full time from home, so if I’m in your area I’ll be able to get to your pet quickly. I’m available for walks weekdays after 3pm and weekends from 8am-3pm I have a fenced yard so my own dog and yours can play freely and safely. While my dog has a crate we do not force her to go in for bed time or breaks, however I will abide by your rules with your pets.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I currently own a large dog and am responsible for all aspects of his daily care, including feeding, walking, basic training, grooming, and monitoring his health and behavior. I’m comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs as well as calmer or more sensitive ones. I have experience managing leash pulling, reinforcing basic commands, and creating a calm, safe environment both indoors and outdoors. I always prioritize safety, routine, and positive reinforcement. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, body language, and comfort level, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, patient, and proactive when it comes to communication and care. I'm currently working from home. So I have plenty of time to play with your dog. I'm available for boarding and day care on weekends and weekday. I have yard and a friendly Bernese Mountain Dog to keep your fur baby company. I will keep the floor clean so that the dogs have enough space to play.

“Victoria was very thorough with the walk through and got along great with our 8 month old puppy. She was able to get into our condo and play with Oliver for an hour while we were away. She was able to give him enough stimulation so that Oliver wasn’t full of energy when we got home. Would definitely recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a rover to help with their puppers!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and my wife and I have two of our own who definitely keep us on our toes! Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs at pretty much every stage of life, from puppies who are still learning the ropes to seniors who need a little more patience and a slower pace. I also have experience with blind and special-needs dogs, as well as dogs who are fearful, anxious, reactive, or have shown aggression. I’m comfortable reading body language and giving a dog space when they’re telling me they need it rather than forcing an interaction. I really enjoy training and working with dogs, so I’m happy to reinforce the commands, boundaries, and routines you already use at home. I also understand that play and socialization look different for every dog. Some want to play nonstop, some need help building confidence, and some are perfectly happy just hanging out with you. Most importantly, I know your dog is an individual. I want to get to know their personality, what they enjoy, what makes them nervous, and what makes them feel safe so I can care for them in a way that works for them. I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. Whatever routine your dog has/needs, it will be respected and reinforced while in vacation with us! I try to make every dog feel safe and comfortable while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I follow your instructions for meals, walks, medications, crate time, play, and anything else your dog needs. Since my wife and I have two dogs of our own, I’m careful with introductions and always supervise interactions. I also pay close attention to body language and never force a dog into a situation they’re uncomfortable with.

About: Hi! I am a dog lover turned helper. I love all dogs. I volunteer dog walking and assisting with dog training at my local shelters. I work from home so I’m able to give your dog lots of attention and I live in a neighborhood so I’m able to walk your dogs with a dog park about 10 minutes away. I work full-time from home so I am able to pet and walk the dog pretty much whenever necessary. I personally take my old dog out every three hours. I’ve had a dog all all stages of life so I can give your pet the same love and attention that I would give my own dog. I live in a two-story house so there are stairs, but if necessary I can carry your baby up the stairs

Thank you so much, Ashley, for looking after Olmec! Despite some location challenges, you did a wonderful job. She definitely gets a little depressed when we’re gone but it’s reassuring to know someone is looking in on her.

We were in a bind and so grateful Kim stepped in at the last minute for Barry and Drake! She is a wonderful communicator—she let us know about a schedule delay right away and even offered to grab more of the dogs' favorite treats. Plus, seeing the photos she sent daily kept me so calm while I was away. It is rare to find someone so thoughtful, reliable, and reassuring. Thank you, Kim!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Allen

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Allen is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $31 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 5,383 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Allen. On Rover:

  • 88% 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.

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.
