“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!”
“Madison was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat, Monkey! We were out of town for almost two weeks, and Madison checked in on Monkey, fed her, and hung out with her. Madison kept us updated with great photos and videos that put us at ease that our girl was safe and happy. Madison sent photos of monkey eating and playing with toys, and we loved getting a video of Monkey watching a bird show on our TV! Thank you to Madison for going above and beyond, even cleaning the litter box and taking out the wet food trash when we didn’t have to ask. We are so grateful for your help keeping our sweet girl safe while we were away. Thank you!”
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!

About: I bring a warm, caring energy and a genuine love for every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pup is full of zoomies or your senior dog needs a little extra TLC, I’ve got the patience, experience, and heart to match their needs. I’m great with routines, gentle with training, and quick to pick up on each pet’s unique personality. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, and I’m confident with everything from giving meds to reinforcing positive behavior. I’m a firm believer in belly rubs, long walks, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Basically? You can think of me as your pet’s new favorite human—besides you, of course! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely love being around animals. I plan my day around their needs—whether that means early morning walks, mid-day potty breaks, or cozy evening playtime and snuggles. I’m flexible and organized, so I make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they need to feel secure and happy. Caring for pets doesn’t feel like a chore—it’s the best part of my day! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my goal is always the same: to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. In my home, I create a calm, clean, and cozy environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I stick to their usual routine—feeding times, walks, playtime, and bedtime—to keep things familiar. I have designated spaces for naps, play, and quiet time, and I always supervise closely to make sure they feel secure and happy. In your home, I care for your pets with the same level of attention and respect. I follow your instructions closely, maintain their daily schedule, and provide plenty of love and interaction. I’m mindful of your space, and I always keep things tidy. I also provide regular updates with photos and notes, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in great hands while you’re away.
About: Hello Pet parents! I’m here to offer you peace of mind while you’re away for personal / professional commitments. I try my best to understand each pet by communicating with you on constant message exchanges .It does help a lot to feel pet comfort. For initial bonding I go to small frequent walk which helps them to take water/ food/ rest and slowly help them to adjust around every one. I learn each pet's schedule from the owner and follow through, which helps me and the pets adjust. The first two days are required to learn and create that adjustment. I prefer a good-quality harness and leash for safe walking. I prefer that they sleep in a crate/playpen if they are comfortable and do not bark. If a dog is not trained and the accident happened despite scheduled walks, a Playpen/Crate is necessary.
“Tiffany took great care of our pets while we were gone. She even brought in packages while we were away. Our cats were happy to see us when we came home. She is professional and she knows how to take care of our fur family. Thank you Tiffany.”
About: Growing up I was the neighborhood pet care specialist. Whether drop-in visits, play times, and walks. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure each walk is safe, fun, and tailored to their energy level and personality. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer adventure, I’ll provide plenty of care, attention, and exercise while keeping you updated with photos and messages every step of the way. I am currently looking for a job as we moved here for my wife’s job so I am free all day. I am available for any service between 7am-6pm. My job is to treat your pet like my own and allow your pet to feel as safe as it does with you. You tell me what makes your pet happiest and I’ll make sure your pet feels loved and cared for.

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!
Natasha takes great care of my dog and cat! My dog Barry is starting to really take to her, and he gets excited when she comes over! Ari, our cat, also seems very intrigued and happy to see Natasha on each visit. I will continue to use Natasha’s pet sitting for sure!!!

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.

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 .

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.

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.
