About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid with our family dogs. My love for dogs carried into my adulthood and I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs. We have a huge fenced in yard for your pup to run around and get that energy out! I look forward to meeting you I have an extremely open and flexible schedule. I’m available Monday-Saturday all day. 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
“We contacted Haley about a week before our trip as our regular sitter backed out at the last minute. We have four dogs so we don’t just trust anyone with our fur babies. At the meet and greet we felt very comfortable with Haley from the get go. One of our dogs, who has extreme anxiety, was immediately on her lap with his tail wagging, which he does not normally do. This made us feel very comfortable with Haley watching our dogs. While we were gone, we received many pictures from Haley and she always let us know when she was leaving the house and they would be alone for a period of time. Knowing that they were well taken care of at home we were able to relax and enjoy our time away. We will definitely hire Haley again to take care of our precious fur babies. We are already getting ready to book her again!”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them is truly one of my favorite things. I’ve owned and cared for 10 dogs of all different breeds, personalities, and ages including labs, a husky, a French bulldog, a basset hound, and several rescue mutts. I’ve helped raise puppies, cared for senior pets, and worked with dogs who needed extra patience and understanding. I have also had cats my entire life, including my current 17 year old cat who I’ve grown up with. I understand that every cat is different and I love getting to know them at their own pace. In addition to my personal experience, I’ve volunteered with my local animal shelter for years. Through volunteering I’ve worked with dogs of all temperaments, including reactive and anxious dogs, and have learned how important patience, consistency, and positive interactions are. I am confident handling energetic dogs, nervous pets, and animals who need a little extra time to warm up. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind that they’re in caring and capable hands. I know how hard it is to leave your pets behind, so I make sure to send plenty of photos and updates so you always know they’re happy and well cared for. I currently only work Monday-Thursday so my weekends are completely free for your pets! I can spend as much time or as little time as works best for my client with their pets. If you have a clingy pet that needs someone there with them all day I can do that or if you’re animal prefers some alone time and has a schedule to stick to I can also do that. Really whatever will make you and your pet the most comfortable I am happy to do! Since I am house sitting I can adapt to fit what your pet needs! I can follow a schedule if that’s what your pet needs or I am also comfortable with just going at your pets pace.
“Brooke was great! She took such great care of our pups and treated them like her own! She gave us tons of photos and kept us up to date while we were on vacation. She gave our elder pup his meds and made sure both got their treats and plenty of snuggles. She kept our house tidy as well. I definitely would recommend her”


About: I have 3 very spoiled large dogs! I used to breed Heelers, so I have experience with pregnant dogs and even delivering puppies. I usually just take care of the yorkies that my family members have here, but I figured I could go ahead and expand. I currently use rover when I go out of town, so I know how I expect my dogs to be taken care of and I will be just as great to your pets! I also have experience with farm animals too. I used to have a small farm with cows, pigs, sheep, goats and chickens. So if you have any additional needs we can discuss it! I also have experience with cats too! I work for the schools, so I am currently off for the summer. My availability is very open until the middle of August! I would say my daily availability is from 6am-11pm unless you book me for over night. I will take care of your pets exactly how you would like. I know how stressful it can be on pets when their owners are away so they will be extra loved on!
About: I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats my entire life and currently care for three cats and a dog of my own, so I understand different personalities, routines, and needs. As a cat person, I’m especially patient and attentive with shy or independent pets, and I genuinely enjoy spending time walking dogs and keeping them active and happy My schedule changes a bit due to working two part-time jobs, but I’m communicative, reliable, and always happy to make time for furry friends whenever I can I provide house sitting, and dog walking with a flexible schedule.

About: I have had pets of my own since I was a kid. I have taken care of pets for my friends and family members while they are out of town for the last 20 years.

I have a loving 10 year old fur baby who loves other dogs and gets along with cats and other animals. I’d love to bring her along with me when possible to hang out with your fur baby when allowed.

“Madison was a great sitter! She watched my dogs for almost 2 weeks and kept me updated and kept them entertained. She also left the house in great shape when I got back. Would absolutely recommend!”


“Paige was excellent with our senior dog Eli. Given the potential extra care needed she was courteous in doing a meet and greet to go thru his medicine and special care instructions. Eli was well taken care of in our absence. Would 100% use again and highly recommend.”

“Jo-Anne is THE BEST! She was very communicative and took time to send thoughtful updates which I really appreciated. In addition to being such a great caregiver to Darla she left my home in immaculate condition which she did not need to do. I look forward to having Jo-Anne back anytime! You will, too.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Allen
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Allen on Rover is $34.96 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
