“We highly recommend Matthew for your pet sitting needs!! He watched our babies for 11 days, including spending the nights in our home, and did an awesome job. He was great about staying in touch and sending pictures everyday, which we loved. Everyone was very happy when we got home, and our place had been well taken care of. We will definitely be using Matthew again!”

“Wendy was great with our pets and our home. She communicated well, took excellent care of them and provided thoughtful insights about them. We loved working with her and wouldnt hesitate to call on her again. She sent lots if pucs an updates, letting us fully enjoy our time away!”
“Kayla is an awesome pet sitter! I just got back from a weekend conference out of town. Kayla took care of my two Havanese, Leela and Button while I and my husband were on separate trips. I received daily updates and Kayla was quick to respond back to me when I checked in with her about how things were going. When I got back home, I could tell that Kayla had taken excellent care of my dogs and my home. We even had a little storm pop up while I was gone and the outside patio table and umbrella were overturned, breaking a piece of pottery that was on the table. Kayla let me know immediately what had happened, sent me pictures of the damage, and cleaned up the mess. I was very appreciative I had someone so considerate taking care of my pets and my home. Leela and Button hope that Kayla will stay with them again the next time their mom needs to go out of town.”
“Vivian was absolutely amazing with our two dogs. They communicated efficiently and showed up early to make sure my dogs had a moment to get comfortable. Both dogs instantly liked them and got in their lap. They sent photos and communicated the entire time we were gone. When we got home they had the cutest Polaroids of our pups for us. Will be using their services again!”
“Juno had an amazing stay, and I couldn't be happier with the care she received. It was clear she was treated with kindness, attention, and plenty of love, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. We received great updates throughout the stay, and came home to a happy, healthy, and relaxed dog. We would absolutely book with Wilson again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy Rover sitter.”
“Maria was so great! We were nervous leaving our dogs for a week especially as one has severe anxiety/fears, but Maria made them both so comfortable! She also kept the house clean and orderly. Her communication while we were away was perfect and we received lots of cute pics of our pups! Will definitely trust Maria the next time we go out of town!”
“I’d 100% recommend Leira! She was fantastic with our pups. Her updates and communications were on point. You can stay stress free with people like her taking care of your pups. Once again, she was another hero in disguise for us after our scheduled sitter canceled last minute due to a family emergency. Thank you Leira! 🙏🏼❤️”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person than Marta! She took care of my dogs while I was out of town, I knew they were in great hands. Marta is incredibly caring, attentive, and professional. She went above and beyond to ensure my pups were comfortable, happy, and well-cared for, and it was clear they adored her.”
“This was my first time to use Rover. It was a simple process to join and choose a dog sitter. Scott contacted me quickly and we chose a time for him to meet us and the dogs. It was very professional and easy! Scott was great with our dogs and provided us with status updates and photos while we were away. We highly recommend Scott and Rover to anyone looking for good quality care for their pets. We will be using him again and recommending him to others.”
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and in college I looked after my roommates' and friends dogs of all sizes and temperaments ranging from pomeranians to german shepherds. I've also housesat pets for extended periods of time. I'm currently freelancing, so I have ample time to look after and entertain your pets! I'm available on weekdays to housesit from 8am to 6pm! On the weekends, I can walk your pets or even take them out for a couple of hours weather permitting. I will ensure that your pet is taken care of just like how you would care for them! I am very proactive regarding communication, both positive and negative, and I make sure to ask clarifying questions if I have any doubts to ensure I understand the pet's needs and requirements! I live in the suburbs so my environment is very quiet, however I do not have a fenced backyard so I would prefer not to host any pets unless they are mostly indoor animals.
About: I have always loved animals and that love has only grown as I get older. I have 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own and I wish I could help every pet I come across! I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with complex health issues. Last year, our dog got cancer and my wife and I navigated her doctors appointments, medication, and palliative care. I hope that we are able to help you and your family with what ever care you need! I currently work from home/do contract work as does my wife so we are always available to help your pets at any time of day! I will make sure that your pets have plenty of water before I leave and will follow all instructions to a T. If there are not instructions, I will take care of potty needs, play with them, and make sure they have water.
“Ahna was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! Caring for multiple dogs with different personalities isn’t easy, but she handled everything with so much patience, attentiveness, and care. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly made my dogs feel comfortable and well looked after the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind she provided while I was away—it made such a difference knowing they were in good hands. I would absolutely book with Ahna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong pet lover with over 10 years of personal experience caring for my own two cats and my dog. They’ve been with me since they were kittens, and through the years I’ve learned to understand their unique personalities, needs, and moods—whether it’s playtime zoomies or cozy nap cuddles. I truly love being around cats and believe in giving them the same comfort, care, and attention they’d get at home. My goal is to keep your furry friend happy, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away, whether that means engaging play, calm companionship, or just keeping their routine consistent. I treat every cat like my own—with patience, love, and respect. Let me know what makes your cat purr, and I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved! I work full time, so I can take care of your pets in evening or early mornings. I will check their food, water, med and litter and play with them I will assure that pets are safe, they would not run away and there is no harmful thing close to them. I will love them and care for them
About: I have 9 years of pet care experience with my own dog, other people's animals, and as a volunteer at the SPCA of Texas. I have taken care of many animals in my years of pet sitting in including dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, and guinea pigs. It is not easy for animals to scare me. I'm currently working a part time at a veterinary hospital and going to school part time. I'm not a very busy person, so I will have plenty of extra time to look after your furry little family member. I keep dogs on a leash at all times when walking. I like to follow a list with times for when certain things need to be done. I like to try and keep a schedule that is close to what each pet is used to on a daily basis.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Allen is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Allen
Monique was amazing with our two dogs. We were gone for 10 days and I never once had to worry about how the dogs were doing! She sent updates and photos throughout the day and loved on our pets like they were her own. She followed all instructions and went above and beyond to also make sure our home was cared for while we were gone. Would book again and highly recommend her to anyone!
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.
I’d 100% recommend Leira! She was fantastic with our pups. Her updates and communications were on point. You can stay stress free with people like her taking care of your pups. Once again, she was another hero in disguise for us after our scheduled sitter canceled last minute due to a family emergency. Thank you Leira! 🙏🏼❤️
Isabela did such a wonderful job taking care of Ollie over the weekend. She kept us in the loop with photos and made everything so easy. I could tell Ollie was having a blast with her, which go to show how kind and attentive she is. I will definitely be booking with her again for future visits.
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.
we are so grateful to have found Bella. We have one dog that is really shy and reactive to meeting new people and was instantly calmed with Bella‘s energy. We also have a new puppy that we had never left before. We are super nervous about leaving him but Bella did a great job and she updated us regularly while we were gone. The puppies were happy and well taken care of. I will definitely be asking her back ! !
Juno had an amazing stay, and I couldn't be happier with the care she received. It was clear she was treated with kindness, attention, and plenty of love, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. We received great updates throughout the stay, and came home to a happy, healthy, and relaxed dog. We would absolutely book with Wilson again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy Rover 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! ❤️✈️🌴⭐️
Ryan was great! It was the first time leaving our puppy, and he took great care of both of our dogs! He sent plenty of videos and updates throughout the day to make sure that we were staying up-to-date with their activities! Would highly recommend! He also left our place perfectly clean when we got back! We can’t wait to rebook with him!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
