About: I have my own dogs that I love very much and I will love your dogs the same. I also have helped take care of my friend’s dogs in the past so I have years of experience taking care of dogs. I also have open availability to take care of dogs. I can also support very active dogs which not a lot of people can do. I am currently available for full time pet care. I am mainly focusing on dog sitting at owner’s home or strictly just dog walking for any hours needed. I will dog sit at owner’s home for now. My current living situation will not allow for more dogs. I will gladly spend a few hours at owner’s home if that is needed.
“I wish I could give more than a 5 star review! My babies were so well loved while I was out of town. I got pictures and updates every day. Jingyi was a consummate professional and I would hire her again in a heartbeat!!”
“Macy took such great care of our dogs during the Memorial Day Weekend! She had our Sheepadoodle that is a little timid, climbing in her lap with each drop in! Don’t let her bargain rate skew your expectations that you are going to get subpar care. She has been one of the most caring, responsive, dog whisperers we have ever hired!”
“Loved the pics Kenzie provided during her drop in time. Felt good knowing she had the availability to take my pups out for a bathroom break when I had a last minute business meeting!”
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life so I am very comfortable (and obsessed with!) every type of fluffypals. I administer insulin to one of my pups daily, and have no issue giving meds to your sick puppy 😉 I was recently laid off and am looking for a (fun and rewarding way) to use my time while I hunt for the right role. Even after that, I’ll be available on evenings and weekends! I have two dogs with a fenced yard - they’re incredibly spoiled….all the cuddles and soft blankets and toys they could want. They get daily walks for exercise and socialization.
“Clara was amazing at making sure sky was well taken care of and stimulated every time she came over! She was patient when she first met him, and understanding of his needs because he has trouble being around new people but Clara had no issues with it and was able to find a way to work with him. If you have a fur baby or pet that needs special care and attention, Clara is the person to hire! Always took pictures and was respectful of the space. 10/10 would highly recommend!”
“Rachelle is great with my two pups - one who is very timid, the other who is very cautious. She takes her time with them, doing activities that make them comfy! (Like tricks they know and like to show off :) )”
“Gabriella was very friendly and communicated quickly. We booked her for a last minute house visit. She made arrangements to pop in for a meet and greet even on short notice. She stayed in communication the day of visit and even shared photos. It was a very positive experience and she is a lovely person.”
“Excellent experience from start to finish! Elena was able to come over on very short notice to let the dogs out in the middle of the day, and I couldn’t be more appreciative. She was very responsive, reliable, and made the whole process incredibly easy. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my dogs were being taken care of. I would definitely recommend Elena to anyone looking for a dependable and trustworthy sitter and will absolutely rebook in the future!”
“Sara offers a phenomenal service taking care of my two kitties. She’s communicative, timely and respectful of all the needs & to-dos I have. I will always use Sara as my go-to for cat care while I’m away from home & highly recommend you book with her!”
“Lizzie was perfect. Our dogs loved hanging out with her. She took great pictures, she was on time and her communication was great. We’ll be using her again. Thanks for looking after the Nacho and Stella.”
“Heide is awesome! Never since I have been using Rover has my fur baby responded so favorably to a caretaker! She’s purring and fed and happy and I so appreciate that and will definitely book Heide ag!”
About: I’ve taken care of my family and friends dogs before adopting my own puppy last year. I have training experience and can help feed, walk, and sit for dogs. I work from home so I have flexibility with pet care throughout the day. I am also available on weekends as needed. My dog has a very stable routine with walking and feeding as well. I have an open living area for dogs to play in, we also live in a dog friendly community with multiple parks and walking trails.
About: I’ve had plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets, especially through raising my own dog. I have a German Shepherd/Black Lab mix who I’ve raised on my own since he was 6 weeks old. I’ve been responsible for his training, exercise, feeding, and everyday care throughout his life. I also previously worked as a Veterinary Technician Assistant, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals and became familiar with handling pets in a professional veterinary setting. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of responsible pet care, animal behavior, and the importance of providing pets with patience, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’ve also regularly helped friends and neighbors care for their pets when they’re away, whether that means taking them on walks, stopping by to feed and check on them, or simply giving them some extra attention and companionship. These experiences have helped me become comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I truly enjoy making sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. My schedule may show limited availability, but I’m always open to discussing dates that aren’t currently shown on my calendar! I work full-time during the week and typically get off around 3:30 PM, so my availability can vary depending on the service and care your pup needs. I’m generally more flexible on weekends, but I’m happy to discuss different dates and see what may work for both of us. Because I work full-time and am also completing my master’s degree through an online program, I want to make sure I’m able to provide your pup with the full care, attention, and companionship they deserve. I’d rather make sure a booking is a good fit for my schedule so that I can give your pet the time and care they need while you’re away. I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable person who absolutely loves spending time with animals. I enjoy giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship while their owners are away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I take their safety, comfort, and routine seriously. I’ll make sure your pup feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while keeping you updated throughout their stay. Whether your pup is energetic and loves to play, enjoys going on walks, or is happiest curled up getting some extra love, I’d be excited to spend time with them! I provide attentive, loving care based on each pet’s individual routine and needs. For weekend overnight sitting, I’m happy to stay in your home and keep your pets comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their normal feeding, walking, and bedtime routines. For walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and care before I leave. I’ll always follow your instructions closely and treat your pets like my own. I also love sending lots of pictures and videos throughout my visit or stay so you can see how your pets are doing and have peace of mind while you’re away!
“Adrienne was great with my 2 dogs! They both took to her immediately and her communication was great about how the visit went. She also sent lots of pictures and I can see that my dogs were very comfortable with her. She also has experience with dogs with a more special needs because my older gal has cancer, and has had a major surgery and she was very attentive to all of that. I will be using her as often as I can!”
“Kimya took amazing care of our cat! She even taught him a trick. I trust kimya with our cat and recommend her to everyone. We know we can leave our cat in her care knowing he’ll be in great hands!”
“Paige did a fantastic job about easing my anxiety about leaving by baby in someone elses care and allowing a stranger in my home. She was kind, friendly and attentive. I will definitely us her again and Oreo will enjoy seeing her. It was a rocking start but Oreo broke down and ended up snuggling with her. In addition my husband who was very against the process at first really enjoyed reading the report cards. Thank you so much.”

Heide checked in on my dogs (1xl and 1small) while I was away for a night. She spent plenty of time beforehand to get to know them so they’d feel comfortable and was super communicative during my trip. I can tell she genuinely loves animals and will absolutely book with her again. Thank you Heide!!
Daniela was absolutely amazing with our dogs! Our biggest, most anxious dog was immediately comfortable with her! She sent great pictures, kept us updated, and was more than willing to accommodate our changing schedule. She gave our pups an extra treat on national dog day to make them feel special! Will definitely use her in the future!
Molly was so lovely. My pup is definitely full of anxiety and it can make it challenging to establish trust and create a relationship, but Molly was so patient and kind with my sweet girl. She communicated so well, sent update pictures, and was so kind throughout the whole process. I would absolutely recommend Molly and I know any pup would be lucky to have her taking care of them 🩵
Kenzie was fantastic! We were gone about 2 1/2 days and had zero doubt that our dogs would be cared for. They loved her the moment she walked in for a meet and greet. Every time she came, she took photos of them for us and they were so happy. We will be using Kenzie again.
Garrett and Jess were absolutely amazing! Leaving our pets behind is never easy, but they made the whole experience completely stress-free. They took such great care of both our dog and our cat and were incredibly thorough with all of our instructions. It was obvious they truly cared about our pets, and we loved receiving updates while we were away. Coming home to two happy, well-cared-for pets meant everything to us. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care they provided and would recommend Garrett and Jess 100% to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring pet sitters. We will definitely be booking with them again!
Christa took amazing care of our French Bulldog, Minnie, while we were on vacation for over a week. She was reliable, communicative, and sent great updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and packages and doing our dishes. We truly appreciated her thoughtfulness and will definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Tiffany was wonderful with our dogs while we were away. She did drop-in visits over the week and kept everything running smoothly, so we never had to worry for a second. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals in her care. Our pups were happy, well-fed, and comfortable the whole time, and we came home to two content dogs and a tidy house. We'd absolutely book Tiffany again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter. Thank you, Tiffany!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Allen stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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!
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Allen with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
