I’m in no rush to be anywhere else so that means your pet will have my full attention. I offer care at your home or my home. Your pets will feel comfortable at my home as we have extra crates, beds, toys, or they can sleep on the couch if they prefer
“Alyssa was amazing!! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to leave their pets in good hands. We have two cats and a senior pup who needed extra care and attention. She left us with peace of mind that everyone was taken care of and best of all we got pics of everyone along the way! 10/10 thanks again, Alyssa!”

“Corina was very loving to Josie and Bear. She provided us with pictures and videos while we were away and always kept in touch. The dogs were very happy to have Corina and would enjoy having her again real soon!”

“It was our first booking on Rover, so it was a bit scary. But then Shauna visited for a meet-and-greet prior to the sitting, and everybody fell in love with her. Gizmo couldn't stop wagging his tail, it was love at first sight. We, too, clicked right away with Shauna, who has a wonderfully upbeat and caring personality. Everything went perfectly on the day of the sitting; we could not have been happier. We will use her services again without hesitation. We highly recommend Shauna!!! <3”

“Jayda watched our three kittens for several days in our home. She was absolutely wonderful! While our two girl kittens are quite social by nature, our little male is relatively shy. The first night he was hiding under the bed in the master bedroom and refused to come out. By the end of her stay they were all sleeping with her in the guest room. She sent us photos of them daily, adhered to their feeding schedule, kept the litter boxes scooped, and kept the entire house in order. We are very grateful for her meticulous care. It definitely put our minds at ease since we were five hundred miles away.”

Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on keeping pets safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently a college student at Coastal Carolina University and a member of the club cheer team.

“I cannot say enough good things about Tawny! She went above and beyond while caring for my dogs and home. Taking care of multiple large-breed dogs is no small task, but she handled everything with professionalism, patience, and so much love. My dogs were happy, well-cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. Not only did she ensure their routines were followed perfectly—including feeding, exercise, and playtime—but she also took the time to give them the extra attention and affection they need. She kept me updated with messages, pictures, and videos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. On top of caring for my dogs, Tawny also looked after my home as if it were her own. Everything was spotless when I returned, and I could tell she had gone the extra mile to keep things in order. If you’re looking for a responsible, kind, and truly dedicated pet sitter, I wholeheartedly recommend Tawny. She is a gem, and I will absolutely be booking her again in the future!”

“Elizabeth was an amazing sitter and comes highly recommended. She was more than happy to come over and meet my pup a few days before watching him and was very communicative during the whole experience. While away we got detailed updates and great photos of Yogi. This was my first time hiring a sitter and Liz made the whole experience stress free, which made our vacation much more enjoyable. I will definitely use her in the future and would recommend her to any pet parents!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Allen is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $41 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.
As of November 2026, there are 411 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Allen. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Allen. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
