“Jessica was great! She house sat for us last minute after another house sitter cancelled on us two days before we were supposed to leave for our wedding. She came over prior and bonded with our dog and met us and we went over all that was needed! She left our house clean and tidy and most importantly provided daily pictures of our dog Mowgli.”
“Kaitlin is a fantastic dog sitter! She kept in touch with my roommate while I was in Australia, which I really appreciated. She took great care of both my dog and our home! I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such great hands.”
“Mathew did an excellent job watching our doggies. He was very prompt and understood how to best handle our 3 girls during the house/pet sitting booking. I would recommend Matthew and use his services in the future.”
“Annabelle was lovely! We have a hoard of dogs and she cared for them wonderfully! She sent us fun pictures every day and kept us updated on their antics and shenanigans. It was clear that they all felt loved and cared for while we were gone, enjoying their snuggles with their new friend! Additionally, we were super impressed with Annabelle’s dedication and flexibility - I accidentally booked her for the following weekend, not realizing my error until we texted her to let her know we were en route to the airport! She managed to juggle her schedule at the last minute (literally) to accommodate my oversight- what a blessing! We would have been in deep doo-doo without her (no pun intended)! What a gem!”
“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.”

“Mary was on time for our meet and greet. She was very professional and showed her love for dogs right away. Over the trip we got updates and she made our dog a priority. Very pleased with the house sitting service!”
“Emily is a wonderful caretaker. She was very sweet with our pups, showered them with affection and attention. We had to cut our trip short but she was extremely flexible and supportive. I would love to use Emily again in the future.”
“Always so sweet and helpful! My boys love her and she truly came to the rescue when I needed her most! I can always count on her and know my boys are in good hands. She has a wonderful caring heart and I absolutely love having her”
“We are always grateful to have Ashlee watch our animals. We always receive lots of updates and photos and videos, I feel very confident and happy leaving them in Ashlee’s care! They seem really energetic and happy to see us when we get back, the house is always clean and well taken care of. Ashlee provides us good peace of mind knowing our home is safe while we’re away. Thank you again for taking care of our pets!”
“Kayleigh did an excellent job house sitting and watching all of our pets for us. We had a last minute family emergency come up and needed to find someone quickly. She stepped right in and took charge. She was organized, detailed in her notes and updates, professional, and gave our fur babies all the love and attention the needed. We will definitely be booking her for all our future trips.”
“Maria was so great! She kept us updated with pictures of the doggies and was very responsive. She took good care of the dogs and fulfilled all our wants and needs. Definitely recommend!”
“We cannot say enough good things about Tabitha! She did an amazing job dog sitting (2 puppies & 2 adults) and house sitting for us while we were away. She took care of everything seamlessly, keeping our pups happy, well cared for, and completely at ease the entire time. She sent pictures often & gave updates as requested! On top of that, she went above and beyond with our home, leaving it spotless, with dishes done, bed made, and everything picked up just as it was (if not better!) when we left. It was such a delight to return from travel to a clean home and happy dogs. I would highly recommend Tabitha to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and caring sitter! Thank you again, Tabitha! Connor & Braylea”
“Rachel came for our meet and greet and the dogs were very receptive to her. We have a Golden Retriever and a Terripoo and both dogs looked well taken of upon our return. The house was in good order when we returned from our vacation. She is a delightful young woman.”
“My pup loved Britney from the minute she walked in the door for a meet and greet. She kept me informed on how my pup was doing and sent photos and videos. Britney taught my guy some new skills and spoiled him. I was gone for an extended time and didn’t have to worry about my boy or my home”
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.
“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.”
“We had a great experience with Rebecca. She was caring, responsible, and very attentive to our pet’s needs. She came along with her daughter, who was equally gentle and respectful, and together they made our pet feel comfortable and loved. It was reassuring to know our pet was in safe and kind hands. We truly appreciate her help and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and friendly pet sitter.”
“Taylor did an amazing job house sitting my 5 month old puppy! She gave Meep lots of attention, played with her, and followed her feeding schedule perfectly! I returned to a happy puppy. I would highly recommend Taylor and look forward to using her in the future for my pet sitting needs! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️”

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!
Monique did an amazing job caring for our fur babies! We have 3 dogs- 2 rescues (including 1 with anxiety) and a senior English Bulldog who requires four meals a day and medication twice daily. Before we left, I explained that our Bulldog occasionally experiences head tremors and asked Monique to contact me if it happened while we were away. Unfortunately, our sweet girl did have head tremors, and Monique immediately reached out and followed every instruction I provided. She also did a wonderful job helping our anxious pup feel calm and comfortable. We were incredibly impressed with Moniques’s communication, attention to detail, and the photos and updates she shared throughout our trip. It was clear that our dogs felt safe, loved, and comfortable in her care. We returned home to 3 happy pups and complete peace of mind! We highly recommend Monique and look forward to having her care for our fur babies again! 🐶❤️
Tabitha did cat and house sitting for our two cats for a week while we were out of town. Great communication with texts each day, including photos. Plato and Sophie made friends with Tabitha instantly, and they were taken care of with feeding two times a day, treats, and cleaning the litter box. Our house was spotless when we returned! Highly recommend Tabitha!
Rachelle is an absolute gem! She recently watched my two dogs while I was away, and I couldn't have asked for better care. Leaving your pets can be stressful, but Rachelle’s professionalism and genuine love for animals immediately put me at ease. She provided regular updates and ensured both of my dogs were happy, exercised, and well-fed. It’s clear she treats every pet as if they were her own. I returned home to two very relaxed and well-cared-for pups. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and kind to look after your dogs, I highly recommend Rachelle!
We had a great experience with Rebecca. She was caring, responsible, and very attentive to our pet’s needs. She came along with her daughter, who was equally gentle and respectful, and together they made our pet feel comfortable and loved. It was reassuring to know our pet was in safe and kind hands. We truly appreciate her help and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and friendly pet sitter.
Peter was just amazing with Lily. He sent daily pictures and comments about Lily and their day, and asked questions when needed. We came to a clean house, and a calm dog which tell us Lily was cared with love. Thank you Peter and you will definitely be on our rebook dial!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Allen
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Allen on Rover is $50 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,309 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Allen. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
