“It was the first time I've used this service and I have an older dog. It was just a few hours but she was very sweet to my fur baby and it made this easier . I am definitely gonna book her again and for s longer stay for my vacation”
“Amy and her husband were absolutely great with our Charlie Brown during our long weekend getaway. They sent daily pictures of our pup and gave us frequent updates. Highly recommend.”
“Shalini is a great host. She and her kids always take a great care of our pup kiara. Infact, kiara misses them when she gets back to us. We feel like shalini’s home as kiara’s second home. Such a wonderful family ❤️”
“Tom took great care of our 7 year old Aussie, Morty. He was easy to work with and responsive when asked about Morty’s stay. Definite made sure our boy felt at home. Would recommend booking with him and looking forward to our next booking!”
“I always love having Jelly over at Katie’s! She goes above and beyond and I am so happy we found her! Jelly loves staying over too. He especially loves the yard and having friends to play with. 🐾”
“Cindy and her family were an absolute blessing!! We left our pup with her for the whole week of Thanksgiving (longest amount of time we’ve ever left him for) and he could not have been in better hands! We’re pretty sure he’s disappointed coming home to us because he had such a great time with Cindy! Haha She sent us photos/videos of him daily, gave him his favorite snack of crunchy carrots, and he even got to sleep in bed with them! If you’re looking for someone to love and care for your pup as much as you do, Cindy and her family are the way to go! We will definitely be booking with them again :)”
“Yulia is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! My dog is skittish and frequently feels unsafe in unknown places. Surprisingly, he wiggled his tale and went straight to her on arrival. Upon pick up, he didn’t even want to leave! I’ve also received updates and photos of my fur baby during the stay and he looked soo happy. Looking forward to future bookings!”
“First timing using Rover and this experience was more than I could have asked for. Traci was very understanding and accommodating throughout the entire process. Could not recommend enough!”
“JJ & Karla are hands down the best sitters I could have asked for and I hope to keep in touch with them for all future pet sitting needs ❤️ They truly treated Jack as their own, and he was absolutely thriving there. 10/10 recommend.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve always had dogs of my own and have also cared for friends’ dogs on several occasions. My husband and I share our home with Sami, our sweet and friendly Chihuahua–Jack Russell mix. Having cared for dogs throughout my life, I understand their different personalities, routines, and needs. I believe every pup deserves patience, affection, and personalized attention. My goal is to make every furry guest feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like part of our family! Caring for dogs is a natural part of my daily routine. I work weekday mornings and am home in the afternoons, evenings, and overnight, giving me plenty of time for playtime, cuddles, and personalized attention. I always make sure each pup’s routine and needs are a good fit with my schedule. Your pup’s safety and comfort are my priorities! I live in a spacious, smoke-free home in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood, with a large, fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks. I share my home with Sami, my sweet and friendly Chihuahua–Jack Russell mix. I welcome small dogs and believe in providing a peaceful, loving environment where every guest feels like part of the family. I follow each dog’s individual routine, respect their needs, and make sure they have a comfortable place to rest. I also believe in getting to know each dog before their stay to ensure a good fit with Sami. I am the sole caregiver responsible for all pets staying in my home. I personally handle their feeding, supervision, walks, playtime, and daily care.
“Luka, who normally has separation anxiety whenever he senses that I'm leaving on a trip, pulls me towards Shannon's front door when we arrive. He clearly always has a great time, and Shannon is excellent about keeping me updated during his stays. She is highly recommended from me and Luka.”
“Valeri took such great care of our kitten. With photo updates throughout the days we were able to see him at ease and being his playful self quickly. Everything went smoothly, we will definitely reach out when we need sitting again! 💛”
“Madison did a wonderful job with my dog. This was an amazing first time experience with Rover. I was concerned because I have a new dog that is high energy that not everyone can handle and Madison understood the assignment! She provided me regular updates and was very communicative. 10/10 recommend. Thanks Madison!!”
“Ysela did a wonderful job with Vixey. I was nervous as Vixey is not too friendly with strangers. But she bonded well her family and I'm so glad that vixey was sweet to her daughter.”
“Our pup seemed to have a lot of fun. Taylor and David were able to handle his high energy, and were open to a meet and greet beforehand. Great first Rover experience.”
“Nakissa was very nice and sent several updates and photos. You can tell she really loves dogs and treated our pup like one of her own. We will definitely be bringing our Callie back the next time we’re out of town.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Allen
This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous, but Tiffany was fantastic helping with my dog, Evie. Communication was always prompt and clear. Evie had a great time playing with Tiffany's dog George and her little boys. She was one worn out pup when she got home! It was great to know Evie was being well taken care of while I was out of town! Highly recommend!
We always have a good experience when Jill watches our two dogs. They are well taken care of and are always happy to see Jill and excited to play with the other dogs. Skeeter & Kai come home, super tired and relaxed from playing so hard. Jill sends videos and texts so we can see how the dogs are doing. I highly recommend her for anyone who needs a dog sitter. We will definitely use her again.
Fernando was great with Sugar. He sent tons of photo and video updates the whole stay and kept me posted on how she was settling in. He even flagged little things to watch for when she's back home. She came back happy and well looked after — would absolutely book again.
Sara was wonderful in the care and communication she had with me during this whole process. First time letting someone watch my dogs and it made me extremely nervous but she made it a very relaxing and comforting knowing my babies were in good hands. I don’t trust many people to look after my two with how they are, but I definitely trust her and will keep using her to watch my dogs in the future!
Lauren was amazing! She took great care of my dog Deuce, and came in the clutch in multiple ways for us…first accepting this request on short notice after our original sitter cancelled on us, and then also worked with us on pickup time when our travel plans got delayed due to weather. Definitely recommend Lauren to others and will most definitely use her again in the future.
I am a repeat Lizzie booking. She always gives great care to Baxter and sends such great photos of him during his stay. She takes great care of him and even now provides mats for him to walk on the slicker floors. She does a great job of communicating and keeping me up to date with what he is up to and what his favorite spots are. If you are looking for someone to take as good as (if not better) care for your pet, I recommend Lizzie for the job!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Allen is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $61 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 October 2026, there are 3,715 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Allen. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Allen can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Allen home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Allen.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Allen sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
