“Jess was great with Colby, followed all directions with his meds. She also made sure she understood all instructions, taking time to write her own notes if needed when we were going over everything. The house was left in great condition and no worries about having her back again in the future when needed!”
“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.”
“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! 🙏🏼❤️”
“Kayleigh was awesome with Midnight/Duke! She was very accommodating to their schedule and routine so they can be happy while me and my husband were traveling. We had a cancelled flight on the way back and Kayleigh was able to accommodate quickly as well! Highly recommended and we look forward to the next booking! The dogs love her!”
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.
“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”
“We had a great experience with Sara! She took wonderful care of Teddy, Mia, and Boba and kept us at ease with daily updates and photos. It meant so much to see how happy and well cared for they were. We’d absolutely book again!”
“Nia was just wonderful to both our dogs. Our initial sitter canceled last minute, and I started freaking out. I tried my luck and texted Nia, she was just ready to jump in and help us out even at the last minute. We had a family event for which were here in Dallas for the long weekend. She was my hero!! My dogs are well taken care and the communication with the updates was excellent. I 100% recommend Nia and I promise you, you won’t be disappointed. ❤️”
About: I’ve grown up around all kinds of animals, including cats, dogs, and small pets/rodents, and have years of experience helping care for them. I’m comfortable with both big and small dogs and have experience walking and caring for dogs in my neighborhood as well. I currently have two kittens of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and loving to care for your pets. I would love the opportunity to help care for your animals, give them lots of attention and affection, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work during the day, but I often have free time in the evenings and on weekends, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and quality care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I love making time for in my schedule. Whether your pet needs extra attention, exercise, or just some company while you’re away, I’d be happy to help! I currently have two kittens at home, so at this time I do not offer boarding or pet care in my own home. However, I do offer pet sitting, walks, and drop-in visits in clients’ homes and would be happy to help care for your pets where they are most comfortable!
About: I've been a FT house sitter with 3 large dogs. I took care of the dogs, house and lawn. I've lived with dogs my entire life; different breeds all at once. I have dealt with many different dog problems like weak stomachs and small bladders. I'm flexible and willing to work with you. I have learned to be patient with all dogs because they are all different. I can walk long distances with your dogs, for those needing that exercise and short walks around the block just for business. I am self motivated and would love to take care of your dogs for you. I do not mind brushing dog's hair and teeth or even giving them a bath. If your dog requires medicine, I can administer this also. My oldest dog I used to own, Taz, was a yorkie-poo, who late in life had many complications (heart murmur, torn ACL) but he was a great dog that just needed extra time and help.
“Riley was fantastic!! We booked late but she was able to accommodate our request. Riley sent us video updates on how Gigi was doing, Gigi looked very happy and comfortable with Riley. We highly recommend Riley to anyone that needs sitting service.”
About: I have always had dogs in my life! I worked at a doggy daycare for about 4 years and have to pups of my own that enjoy their walks and playtime! I am currently working full time from 9:00-5:00 on the weekdays but available anytime before or after! I am also available for 1 hour in the middle of the day! I have a fenced yard and two playful dogs for your dog to play with! I enjoy walking my dogs and taking them to the dog park!
“Josh was very respectful of my house and treated my dog with excellent care. She was happy and healthy when I got home and house was clean with shades pulled for the predicted hot day. Even my neighbors commented on how well my dog was being cared for. Cece now has a new buddy as I would definitely call Josh again should I need a sitter.”
“You cannot ask for a better person to take care of your fur babies and home while you are away. The attentiveness and care was above and beyond anyone we’ve used before. We are so grateful for Suzy.”
“What a relief to know my babies and home were being watched by a mature person. No worries about follow through or decision making in a pinch. The dogs were completely relaxed when I got home. The house was cleaner than I’d left it. Even things I didn’t ask for were tended to. Thank you, Jayne! Everybody at my house hopes you’ll come back soon!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Allen
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.
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Allen is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $96 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 October 2026, there are 4,096 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.
<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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
