“Jess was amazing!!! We were so nervous about leaving the cats for a few days but we were actually able to enjoy our vacation because of her ?? She sent us plenty of pictures and videos the whole time and we could really tell that the cats bonded with her ? Wish I could give more than 5 stars!”
“Matthew was amazing. Highly recommend. I’ve never had a non family member watch my 3 dogs so I was very anxious. I had no reason to be! Matthew followed all our instructions and my dogs were happy! I have one elderly pug, active puppy and a sensitive frenchie. They all were well taken care of. House was left just as it was when he arrived. I especially appreciate him offering his services on Thanksgiving. We will use him again!”
“Maria is a wonderful pet sitter! We have a very nervous, diabetic dog and Maria was able to work with her! They were friends by the end. She is also very communicative and takes good care of the house.”
“Kelsey was great with Hawkeye. She was punctual and continued with his schedule and training while here. She also sent photos of Hawkeye to me which was appreciated. I would recommend Kelsey anytime.”
About: Hi! I absolutely love dogs. Have a two year old medium/small sized dog who loves play dates but also doesn’t mind staying in another room if other dogs aren’t friendly! She also doesn’t bother other dogs unless they come up to her to play. I will treat your dog as if it were my own. I work part time during the week, twice a week on a random schedule for around 7 hours or less and home all night. Weekends are completely free. I live in a very nice area, can go for walks, go to the dog park, my dog loves playing with other dogs, and i have a crate.
“Rachelle was amazing! She took great care of Miles and left the house spotless. It was so nice to be away and to know that our pup was in great hands. We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have a natural love for dogs and take pride in providing a calm, safe, and caring environment for every pet I look after. Through my professional background working in a dental office, I’ve developed strong attention to detail, patience, and the ability to stay calm in stressful situations—skills that translate directly into pet care. I understand how important trust and communication are, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I am attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs your pet may have. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a more relaxed environment, I adapt to their personality to make them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your dog is in caring and responsible hands. I have a flexible schedule and am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I can accommodate weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I’m also available for last-minute bookings when possible. I provide attentive, high-quality in-home care designed to keep your pet comfortable, relaxed, and secure in their own environment. I understand that maintaining consistency is essential, so I take a thoughtful, detail-oriented approach to following your pet’s established routine. From feeding schedules and walks to any specific preferences or special care needs, everything is handled with precision and care. I pay close attention to behavior, mood, and subtle changes to ensure your pet is not only cared for, but genuinely at ease while you’re away. I create a calm, structured environment and offer intentional companionship—whether that means engaging playtime, quiet presence, or simply maintaining a peaceful routine that suits your pet’s personality. I also treat your home with the utmost respect and discretion. Cleanliness, security, and attention to detail are always top priorities, so you can feel confident everything is well cared for in your absence. You can expect consistent, thoughtful updates with photos, allowing you to stay connected and reassured that your pet is in capable and dependable hands.
“Kristin did an amazing job again watching our 3 dogs for a week & staying at our house while we were out of town! She was very responsive & helpful & cleaned everything before we got home. We trust her completely & highly recommend! Our fur babies miss her already! ❤️”
“If you want someone that genuinely cares and is willing to go the extra mile to ensure your pets comfort, she's the one! HUGE paws up!!! 🐾🐾Highly recommended by both us and our fur babies! Ava took fantastic care of our dogs and house during our 10 day trip. We have a timid rescue pittie, so Ava met with her well before our trip and arrived early day of to ensure our girl would feel comfortable while we were gone. 💙 Our house was in better condition than when we left. She even washed, remade the bed, and took out the trash before we arrived home. We will 100% be booking Ava for all our future pet sitting needs!”
“Laurie was amazing while watching my two dogs! She kept me updated and my dogs seemed so happy when I got home. My house was also spotless when I got back! Would definitely hire her again!”
About: I have ALWAYS had a dog in my life. I have cared for small dogs, big dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. We have 3 kids (15, 9, and 7), so there is lots of love and attention that we will give to your fur baby. I promise you, we will have a ball! I am a stay home mom to 3 kids and 2 dogs (Labradoodle and Havanese). Your pet will have our full attention and my full time care. I have a large fenced yard with 2 sections to gate off in case your fur baby prefers some alone time. We also have a pool with a large, shallow swim platform for your pup to cool off, if they choose. Because of the pool, all potty breaks are supervised. My fur babies are super friendly and would love a buddy to play with. We have plenty of room to crate your baby as well. We also have a laundry room that can be used to separate your fur baby from the pack for feeding time and rest. We have tons of love to give your pet in our household!
“Best sitting experience we ever have had, and let me tell you… we have had some bad ones! Our Bulldog is not very trusting and within 5 minutes of meeting Ms. Patti, he was sitting with her on the floor, and letting her pet him! We knew we had found the perfect sitter. She came over once more before our trip and the same thing happened! For once, we left feeling very confident that they were in the right hands. He even came out of his hiding place to sit with her which AGAIN, never happens! Ms. Patti is a such a reliable person to have stay in your home as well! Our house looked just like we left it or even better! She kept us up to date on what they were doing/ and if they were having any issues. She sent pictures and texts at least every morning and evening. When we arrived home, the boys were happy to see us but we know they want Ms. Patti back!”
“Lucy loved her time with Cara! We did a meet and greet with Cara ahead of time and immediately knew that she would be good fit for us and with Lucy. Cara was very communicative, sent tons of pictures and updates. Lucy was well cared for! We will definitely use Cara in the future and we highly recommend.”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Allen
Monique was great! She was super professional and thorough from the start. During the meet and greet, she asked lots of questions and made sure she had all the details and instructions, which I really appreciated. She kept me updated with regular messages, pictures, and videos, and it was so nice to see how comfortable my dog was with her. I came home to a happy dog and a spotless house (honestly, almost cleaner than I left it!). I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be using Monique again. Highly recommend!
We absolutely loved having Kristi care for our little Yorkie princess! She was so caring, loving, and attentive, and it was clear our girl was in great hands. She kept us updated throughout, communicated wonderfully, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She also left the house spotless! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving with their pets. We will book her again in December!
Stefanie and Zach were absolutely wonderful. Toby Quinn is usually very unsure and skittish of new people but Stefanie and Zach made him so comfortable and relaxed around them. They sent daily pictures of very happy and loved pups. I would definitely use them again for house sitting. They loved and cared for Molly and Toby Quinn as if they were their own. We were out of the country and felt at ease and never worried about our fur babies, knowing they were in excellent hands.
Nakia was absolutely wonderful with Luna! 🐾 Luna can be quite the sassy little Cockapoo and Nakia handled her with so much patience and love. She was communicative throughout the whole weekend and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. You could tell she genuinely cared about Luna’s wellbeing and not just going through the motions. I came home to a happy and well looked after pup which is all you can ask for! I will definitely be booking Nakia again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Taylor was amazing and I 100% recommend! She sent several picture updates through the day and I can tell Kuma was so happy! The house is just as we left it. She also was able to accommodate us leaving early and returning late. I would definitely trust Taylor to watch Kuma again.
Adrienne was the epitome of what you would want and expect with a dog sitter. She is reliable, detail oriented and asked all the right questions prior to her taking care of my two Great Pyreness. We LOVED Adrienne! I truly was able to enjoy my vacation and not have to be concerned about how my boys were doing. She was communicative and knew when to take on walks, especially with the Texas heat upon us, and balanced this equally with their feeding schedules, treats, and even bedtime routines. I am very selective on who cares for my boys and I wouldn’t hesitate on booking with her again! ❤️✈️🌴⭐️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Allen is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $101 per night. 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 3,984 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Allen. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Allen walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Allen maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Allen. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
