“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!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats growing up as in college! Friends and family have entrusted me to take care of their pets while out of town or taking their dogs on walks. I’m here to give you the assistance you need to make you and your pet pal happy!!😊 Im currently working full time M-F but work from home Friday so I have more availability! I am free on the weekends! I usually get off around 4-5 M-F but I’m willing to work earlier if I know in advance your pets feeding times :) For starters I would make sure (if possible) I’m able to meet your pet pal before so they can recognize me. I want to make sure we are both comfortable with eachother. I’d like to know the behavior of your pet as well! Some pets are more shy and reserved so it’s good to know that way I don’t startle your pet. I will make sure to clean out their water bowls so they can have a fresh water, groom if needed and make time to walk, play,and talk with with your pet pal! If there are any accidents(puppies are more likely to do this) I will be sure to clean up as if nothing ever happened. No one wants to come back to a trip with that type of surprise waiting on them😅I will also take your dog (or cat if that’s what he/she likes!) on walks!!
“Scott was amazing checking in on my senior kitty while out of town for over a week. He completed my long list of asks every day and was so thorough with his updates and pictures.”
“Rachelle saved my life, she is super flexible and was able to squeeze in a last minute visit when I had a miscommunication my schedule. You won’t regret booking her!”
“Kayla was so sweet and caring when checking on our senior cat while we were away. Our cat immediately loved getting head scratches and visiting with Kayla. Her love of animals is obvious and we would use Kayla again for pet sitting. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Christa was completely wonderful!!! She communicated with our daughter who was staying at the house at night. She and Sundance did great. I will definitely be wanting to use her again.”
“Camaryn was great with our cats. I loved getting updates about their mood and behavior, and pictures! I missed them so much but it felt good to know they weren't being neglected.”
About: I have experience caring for different dog breeds. From 2015-2026 I have helped my family care for two huskies since they were puppies. From 2020-2024 I have helped my college friends care for their babies when they were unavailable due to classes or exams. From 2023- now, I have cared for several different breeds. I’m happy to help you take some time off or simply help you when you’re running late from work. For reoccurring visits I am available anytime before 3pm Monday through Sunday. Depending on how far your location is I may be able to do late visits/walks. But for one time visit please contact me I may be available after 3pm. I will follow your needs and your furry babies needs to ensure the safety of both your pet and mine if needing boarding. For walks I will ensure to have your pets secured and safe from any harm.
About: I have experience in caring for small and median size dogs, providing love, attention, and personalized care to ensure they feel safe, happy, comfortable, and truly well cared for. Working from home 4 days a week allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, playtime, and care during the day. On office days (8:00 to 4:30), I ensure walks, feeding, and playtime before and after work to keep them happy and comfortable. I have a friendly dogs that love company, a fenced backyard for outdoor play, and I provide attentive, supervised care in a calm, welcoming environment.
About: My friends and family never hesitate to reach out when they need dog sitting. I am reliable and will make sure your pets are well taken care of! I'm currently waiting on my license to be approved before beginning my new job in August. Until then I am wanting to fill my time enjoying the company of all kinds of pets! I am very flexible and want to ensure your pets needs are taken care of. I like to actively engage with dogs by playing in the yard or taking them on walks. I make sure to keep a clean environment and leave the space better than I found it. I love rewarding pups with a small treat after a hangout.
About: I grew up with dogs and am experienced with their care. I managed all of the care for my own dog after she was diagnosed with bone cancer and underwent a limb amputation and chemotherapy. I am competent, caring, and detail-oriented. I will provide your dog(s) with love and affection and follow all instructions given. I am also great at sending updates! I just completed a PhD and am currently between jobs, so my schedule is flexible for dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting in your home. In your home or neighborhood, I will follow all instructions given (requesting more if needed) and be sure to leave your home tidy and secure!
“I'm so thankful we were able to book Shaira last minute. She was extremely flexible working with our tight schedule to set up a meet and greet. Our dogs looked like they were having a great time in the video Shaira sent during her visit. We would definitely recommend Shaira to anyone!”
About: I have had dogs all my life and they are a big part of me. I will provide lots of belly rubs and cuddles for your dog while you are away. Since moving to the Plano area my fiancé and I love taking our dog Genie on long walks and bike rides. We also love to all cuddle up on the couch and watch movies. I work 8:30am-4:30pm M-F so I will be available for your dog in the morning and in the evening. Overnight if you need as well! Let them run around in your backyard or take them on a good walk. I can also throw a ball around if they like to play!
“Thank you Ericka for taking such good care of our pups and still making it to our house through the snow/ ice storm! She always showed up on time and spent time giving love to our dogs! Thank you so much Ericka!”
About: I am a gentle, loving, and patient sitter - I have taken care of our sweet, lady Malshi Bailey for 4 years, from the time she was a puppy. I intentionally plan my day so I can provide dependable, unhurried visits while keeping each pet's routine as consistent as possible. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate visits throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and holidays. I have my children every other weekend, but depending on the distance and your pet's needs, I may still be available for quick check-ins during those times. I truly believe that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized attention. I try and take the time to get to know each pet's unique personality and follow their established schedule as closely as possible. Whether I'm house sitting, stopping by for a check-in, or taking your pet for a walk, my goal is to provide calm, attentive, and compassionate care.
“I have worked with Stephanie a few times and will keep coming back! Even when I make a silly mistake, Stephanie is willing to step in and help solve the issue. She looks after Ivan (my pet rabbit) very well and I never find him wanting anything when I come back from my work trips. 100% would recommend to all my friends, thanks Stephanie!”

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!!!
Becky has been absolutely amazing with my hounds, Levi & Leo. As a veterinarian working long hours, I worry about leaving them behind — but Becky always puts my mind completely at ease. She sends the best pictures and updates, so I can actually see how happy and loved they are while I’m gone. It’s clear they get lots of love (not just checked on!), and that means the world to me. I always come home to two relaxed, content pups and am so grateful for the thoughtful, attentive care she gives them. I truly couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter & highly recommend! 🐾💛
We are new to the area and needed help with our dog. We have never used a pet walker/sitter before, but Sarah has been a lifesaver! Our dog LOVES her visits and walks. She share pics and gives us feedback on how he's doing each visit. She even washed his bowls, and my morning coffee cup last time she was here. She's Amazing!

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. 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 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 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.
