“I requested a drop-in very last minute and Ericka was more than willing to come drop-in on my two dogs. She was prompted and very detailed throughout the drop-in. I appreciate her and her son being very patient with my Chihuahua as he’s very skittish with new people. Would definitely recommend Ericka and book with her again.”
About: I’ve grown up around all kinds of animals, including cats, dogs, and small pets/rodents, and have years of experience helping care for them. I’m comfortable with both big and small dogs and have experience walking and caring for dogs in my neighborhood as well. I currently have two kittens of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and loving to care for your pets. I would love the opportunity to help care for your animals, give them lots of attention and affection, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work during the day, but I often have free time in the evenings and on weekends, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and quality care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I love making time for in my schedule. Whether your pet needs extra attention, exercise, or just some company while you’re away, I’d be happy to help! I currently have two kittens at home, so at this time I do not offer boarding or pet care in my own home. However, I do offer pet sitting, walks, and drop-in visits in clients’ homes and would be happy to help care for your pets where they are most comfortable!
About: I’ve always grown up taking care of family and friend’s pets as if they were my own. I believe pets are just as important as any other family member, so I always treat them with love, care, and respect. I currently work on an as needed basis within healthcare, so when I am off I would be more than happy to help care for your pets! I would approach your home with the understanding that it is your pet’s safe space - I will do everything to make sure they feel at ease and keep them happy!
“Lindsey was amazing! She was very polite and right on time. One of my pups isn’t sure about new people and she took the time to make sure he was comfortable. She gave a great update and provided lots of pictures. Will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’m reliable, genuine, thorough & caring. I’ve volunteered with several organizations ranging from visiting with dogs in the shelter to visiting with hospice patients to working with international development organizations. Offering a helping hand is at the core of who I am so your pet friend will be in good care with me! :) I’m currently working part-time in the arts so I have plenty of time to play with your pup! I’m available weekends as well and will be happy to work with your schedule. I will introduce myself to your pup gently and humbly, take them out to relieve themselves and let them stretch their legs and explore enough to refresh their spirits :)

About: Hi I’m Christine! I’ve taken care of dogs all my life, when my friends or family go out of town/if anyone is ever too busy or don’t have the time to walk their pups, I love taking their pups on walks or just drop in to keep them busy! I have one pup that I LOVE to take on strolls in the morning and at night when it is cool enough outdoors! I am available any time and any day as I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible! In the heat of summer, I prefer to not walk the pups between 1-6 pm due to the ground being too hot but it is whatever you prefer (: I live in an apartment that has a dog park that’s rarely occupied or if drop ins are preferred for you, I’m more than happy to go to a dog park near you or walk with them around the neighborhood, whatever fits your pup’s regular routine!

I am currently working on my internship for counseling so my schedule is very flexible. I am available to dog sit, dog walk, & do overnight stays. For my dogs we have a fence to keep them safe, lots of toys to play with them, we go on walks, and give them treats to reward them when they potty outside, listen to a command, or just need a little sweet treat. I would do the same for the dogs I take care of.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Allen
Rue took such wonderful care of our dog Cinnamon and cat Cookie while we were away! This was our first time using a drop in pet sitter, and we’re so grateful for her help. It meant so much knowing our babies were being cared for while we enjoyed time with our kids. Thank you, Rue, for giving us peace of mind! We’d happily book with her again. 💕
I don’t know how lucky we got to have Jennie and her husband check in and be there for our pets on our first rover experience because it was exceptional! I don’t know if this is how she handles everyone’s pets but she went above and beyond to make sure our girls were taken care of! The pictures she would take to update us on her visits and what they were doing gave us ease of mind to focus on being present during our trip! Jennie, thank you it truly means the world!
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!!
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!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Allen is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 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.

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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
