About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was surrounded by all kinds of pets—from dogs and cats to hamsters and rats—and I’ve always loved caring for animals. I’ve also had the opportunity to foster kittens and gain hands-on experience with a variety of pets. My mom was a veterinary technician for 30 years, so I grew up learning a lot about animal care, behavior, and what it means to keep pets happy and healthy. At 18, I started my own pet-sitting business back home in Connecticut. When I moved out of state, I left the business behind, but I’ve always wanted to get back into pet sitting—and now feels like the perfect time! I currently have two cats and two ball pythons of my own. My schedule is also very flexible right now, which means I’m able to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and care. My time spent with your pets will involve lots of love and cuddles, walks and playtime, as well as treats as appropriate. I also have experience with administering medications to pets, so if this is something you need assistance with just let me know! I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll treat yours like they’re part of my own family. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry (or scaly!) family members! 🐾 I'm currently in between jobs and looking for something part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your babies, whether that be drop-ins or boarding. If needed, I have a dog crate at home for the safety of your pet while I am not at home. I have a 3 bedroom home in a peaceful community in Conway.

“We are so happy to have had Belkis care for our pup. We did the Myrtle Beach Marathon and needed help with our dog while we were running. Belkis came the day before to meet Toby and find our camp spot as we were also camping at the beach. She was wonderful with him and so accommodating to us. I highly recommend using Belkis for your pet care needs!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats alike for the past eight years. I have worked with senior dogs along with puppies to ensure proper daily care. I currently work from home full time, with the flexibility to move around during the day. Because of this i am looking to add pet sitting as a consistent part of my week. I have a home with more than enough space inside and out for your pets comfort. We have one dog, though we keep two gates up to keep the fur babies separate to ease any anxiety or stress.

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for pets. I’ve had my cat for 16 years and my dog for 8 years, and I also have around 4 years of overnight pet-sitting experience. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight stays in your pet’s home. I also have experience administering medication to my own pets and understand the importance of following their care routines. I know how important it is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to give them attention, playtime, walks, and plenty of affection! My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in caring, reliable hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐶🐱 I am currently in college and working part time. However, my schedule is pretty open, especially in the mornings and afternoons. Overnight stays will always be open. :) My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets in their home, I do my best to maintain their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. I respect each home and follow the owner’s instructions carefully to ensure their pets receive consistent, dependable care. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention based on their individual needs and personalities. I also take safety seriously by keeping dogs leashed during walks, making sure doors and gates are secure, and monitoring pets throughout my visits. I want every owner to feel confident and at ease knowing their pets and home are in trustworthy, caring hands!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve been pet sitting independently for several years, caring for dogs in their own homes where they feel safest and most comfortable. I understand how important it is for pet parents to have someone reliable and loving looking after their pets while they’re away. In addition to my personal pet sitting experience, my family and I have helped care for foster dogs for local rescue organizations, which gave me experience with dogs of different ages, temperaments, and special needs. From energetic pups to shy or anxious dogs, I’ve learned how to be patient, attentive, and calm so pets feel secure. When caring for your pets, I focus on: • Keeping their routine consistent • Giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise • Making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. Your pets will be treated like family while you’re away. 🐶🐱 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I schedule my day to allow consistent, unrushed visits so your pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they’re used to. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are happy and safe while you’re away. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all care instructions, keep the home secure, and make sure pets are always safe and supervised. I also send updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Allen

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Allen is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $56 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 733 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:

  • 92% 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.
