About: I absolutely love dogs and would love to meet yours. I have a warm home with comfy furniture. I have a 7 year old Bull Terrier rescue named Baxter that loves dogs of all sizes. He loves to play and also enjoys sleep time. We live near walking trails for long walks and there is a lot of green grass outside our patio for shorter walks and easy potties. I work from home every day and the dogs will be in the house all day and night except for potty breaks. Baxter is allowed on the couch and bed and it’s ok if yours is too. If they aren’t allowed on the furniture, we can stick to that rule too. I have portable gates if needed and an extra large crate if you prefer for creating some isolated areas. About your dog: I will take dogs small and medium sized, but they must be house broken, well behaved and can be trusted to be left alone without being destructive or can be crate trained. I am a remote worker so I will be looking after your pet 24/7. Access to outside is available all day. I can walk my dog Baxter with your dog or walk them separate if they need more time independently. I can accommodate based on your baby's needs. Based on what the dogs love to do! I have a nice grass area right outside my apartment and we have a fenced dog park. There is also a great walking path nearby. Baxter the bull terrier is very friendly and cannot wait to play with your pup. Access to outside is available all day. I am a remote worker so I will be looking after your pet 24/7.
“Kayleigh is an absolute rockstar - incredibly attentive and communicative, she was proactive with both updates and feedback (including photos) that made a world of difference for an anxious pet parent! She was also generously flexible and patient showing me the Rover ropes, as well as with her time for key handoff and return on top of my high maintenance darling and her routine. Chloe and I both look forward to having her on repeat and couldn’t be more grateful!”

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!
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 15 years and truly love spending time with animals. Throughout the years, I've helped friends, family, and neighbors care for pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I'm comfortable with energetic puppies, shy dogs who need extra patience, and senior pets who require a gentler approach. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. As a remote worker, I have the flexibility to structure my day around the needs of the pets I care for. My routine is built to provide consistent care, attention, and exercise for the dogs I look after. I’m able to give them frequent breaks, regular walks, and ensure they get the mental stimulation they need throughout the day. This flexibility allows me to maintain a stress-free environment and create a balanced routine for each dog, so they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I specialize in providing care for pets in the comfort of their own home, ensuring they remain in a familiar environment while you’re away. Since I don’t offer boarding, my focus is on providing personalized, in-home care that matches each pet’s routine and needs. My goal is to offer them comfort, companionship, and a consistent routine, while keeping them safe and happy in their own space!
About: I have been working at an animal hospital for almost two years now taking care of dogs and cats! I also pet sit for friends whenever they are out of town and have a pup of my own :). I love what I do and making sure that pets feel loved and taken care of while mom and dad are away. I am available: Monday's after 12 PM Wednesdays after 12 PM Thursdays after 4 PM Friday's all day! Saturday all day! Sunday's after 1 PM I like to find out first what the pets quirks or special accommodations are (for ex. food aggression, crating, shyness). This will guide me on how I respond and take care of your pet! Depending on personality, I give our dogs and cats plenty of love and attention.
“Sarah watched my dog for an entire week checking in on him morning and evening and sent photos and updates during her check ins. She was amazing and took such great care of my buddy!”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was a kid. I have 20+ years of experience pet and house sitting. I worked at a kennel boarding dogs and cats, worked at a horse rescue, a pet store and I was a groomer. I can administer medication as well as deliver insulin. I have experience with senior dogs as well as puppies. I love all animals and have taken care of many different kinds of pets including hedgehogs, lizards, snakes, rabbits and many more. I love to go above and beyond for my clients, I have even thrown a dog birthday party when the owner realized she was out of town on the day! I work 8-5 and am able to leave on lunch to let dogs out. I am able to spend most of the evening with your pets as well as overnight. I love walking so I can do a couple walks a day if your dog requires it. I can crate your dog if needed. I can administer medication and injections. If any minor grooming services are needed I can provide them. I accommodate picky eaters and will hand feed, blend food or whatever will help them eat.

About: Growing up, we had a wide array of pets, from fish to hamsters to cats to dogs. We had a retriever/pittie mix as a family dog, and now I have my own young german shepherd named Koda. I know what it's like for people to fear your dog and believe no dog is beyond help. Koda was reactive when I rescued her and have worked with a dog trainer for over a year when I lived in Boston. Slowly and surely, her reactivity is getting better through balanced training and dog psychology. I have fostered both cats and dogs with her. I believe in structure and boundaries with pets and have been trained to used the slip lead, power loop, prong collar, e-collar. I work from home full time and train/exercise Koda 1.5-2 hours a day so am used to working with a dog that needs constant mental and physical stimulation. I believe that firm boundaries and structure help guide a dog and puts their mind at ease. My dog is crate-trained and is not allowed on furniture unless she has earned it (:
About: With over 25 years of experience caring for a wide range of pets, I’ve developed a deep understanding and love for animals of all kinds. Along with dogs and cats, I’ve cared for rabbits, baby chicks, fish, turtles, birds, and even small insects — each one unique and special in their own way. Animals tend to naturally gravitate toward me, likely sensing my calm and caring nature. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they always feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals. If I were to hire a babysitter for my pupper, I would hire myself! I work in a flexible full time remote position, so rover fits perfectly into my ability to travel and be flexible with babysitting options as well as midday gigs Although I don’t have my own place just yet as an option for babysitting, safety is first and as long as you can provide any safety details, I’ll be attentive to make sure no escapes and accidents happen.
About: I grew up with a dog. I’ve also dog sat for friends and neighbors throughout high school and college. I have two dogs now that are friendly and love to play. I understand and know that if people choose to have animals and find a sitter, they truly love them as their babies! I’m a teacher and have worked with adults and children for many years. Pets are also our children and they bring us joy and laughter! I always treat other people's pets with respect, love, and kindness - they are part of the family too! I am free in the summer time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I can take them on walks or runs in the neighborhood. They will be very well cared for. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs who would love to play with your pups! My dogs are crate trained so I can easily crate them if needed. I can easily crate your dog, if needed. I am able to let the dogs out frequently and/or as needed.
“Alexis was prompt, on time, sent multiple pictures checking in, & even cleaned up after my cats after they broke one of my vases!! She gave my cats love & cuddles. I am so appreciative of her checking in on my babies while gone & will be booking her again!”

“Lauren did a fantastic job looking after my cats along with helping some of my plants. Very grateful, especially as it was a last minute decision to have my cats stay at home rather than travel with me. Hoping I can request her again if available the next time I need them looked after!!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life since we always had dogs in our homes and once I was able to drive I wanted to start dog sitting. As a dog sitter I will make sure that your pups are being loved on and played with. I will be sending all the pictures while you are gone. 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.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and have always had a deep love for animals. For the past 4 years, I’ve cared for my 100lb big baby, meeting all her needs—daily walks (short and long), administering medication, and managing flexible feeding schedules. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently not working, so I have open availability—including weekdays, weekends, and overnights.

About: I know pets are more than just animals; they’re family! I’m caring, patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I strive to provide a safe, loving environment where your pet feels happy and secure. Whether your dog loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to help make their day a little brighter. I’ll treat your pet with the same kindness, patience, and attention I would want for my own, while respecting your routines and instructions. I have experience caring for dogs at different stages of life, including senior dogs, service dogs, and dogs who experience anxiety or need extra patience and reassurance. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs who require medication and understand the importance of following their routines and care instructions closely. My goal is to give both you and your pet peace of mind! I have a consistent weekday schedule and value being organized, dependable, and punctual. I’m primarily available on weekends, with some weekday evenings available. I understand the importance of maintaining familiar routines for pets and providing consistent, attentive care. I’m responsible, patient, and committed to following established routines and instructions. I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs and personality. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and maintaining familiar routines while respecting each pet’s comfort level and their owner’s instructions.

About: I enjoy spending time with a four legged friend. The unconditional love they provide is one of life's natural joys. I have grown up with and owned dogs since I was 4. Going outside in the backyard and playing fetch or going for a walk are my favorite activities. Your dog will be in capable hands and is sure to enjoy spending time with me. I like all dogs but do prefer medium to big sized dogs over smaller dogs. Walks in the park are fun for both the sitter and the dog. Long walks, short walks, relaxing in the park are all priorities on walks. I love to play fetch with high energy dogs and love to cuddlw with dogs who dont have interest in fetch. I work from home and have the ability provide services throughout the day. I have 3 dogs at home currently who get constant attention from either my wife or myself. I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs. We keep them off of beds but our dogs are allowed on the couches. We have unconditional love for dogs in our care.
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and caring pet lover with hands-on experience raising animals from a young age.

I’m also raising two young cats, giving me experience with both dogs and cats and their unique needs and personalities. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and aim to provide a safe, reliable, and loving environment. You can count on me to be attentive, responsible, and respectful of your pet’s routine and needs.

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 November 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. 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 6,951 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
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. 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.
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.
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 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.
