“Jessica was great! On time, communication was consistent, picked up mail and packages left outside. I was able to focus on my trip knowing my dog was in good hands. I will book Jessica again.”
“Emily did a great job taking care of my very spoiled Lab. I have many pages of notes about Sadie’s daily routine, and Emily did her best to follow everything I asked. I felt Sadie was in good hands and happy to have Emily at home with her. We will definitely invite her to come stay with Sadie again in the future.”
“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!”
“Louann really helped us out of a bind at short notice. She is very dependable and so kind to our dog, Bella. We are visiting our son,s family for a high school graduation and Louann came to our hotel room to watch Bella. This was the second time we used her this trip in the evenings. We old definitely use Louann again next time we are in need of a pet sitter here in Frisco, TX. Thank you, Louann, for being so accommodating.”
About: With over 7 years of pet-sitting experience and a lifetime of caring for animals, I’m comfortable providing care for pets with specialized needs. I have hands-on experience administering oral medications, managing detailed feeding schedules, and caring for senior cats + dogs with limited mobility. Whether your dog needs an energetic run or your cat needs quiet companionship, I’m calm, detail-oriented, and committed to following your pet’s routine exactly as you’ve outlined it. I’m also a proud pet mom to Charlie, my 6 year old Australian Shepherd. He’s an energetic Aries, a total mama’s boy, and my best friend and he can totally vouch for how much I love animals! 🐾 I currently work from home full-time, so my schedule is very flexible and can work with pet owners so that my personal pet care works best for their schedule! As an Australian Shepherd dog mom, I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes in a variety of settings, whether at home, on walks, or alongside other furry friends. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of building trust with both pets and their owners. I’m respectful, reliable, and committed to treating your home and pets with the same care and respect I give my own.

Whether your pet needs boarding in my home or house sitting in yours, I provide calm, attentive care tailored to their routine. Your family deserves the best, and I'm here to offer it. I maintain a flexible, part-time schedule dedicated to pet care, which allows me to give your pet my full attention during stays. Availability is open throughout the week, and I'm happy to discuss specific timing that works best for your family. I promise I will respect your and your little friends property regardless if I drop in for a quick check or stay the night to make sure your pet doesnt get anxiety in the empty home. I may not have a private yard, but I have access to great walking trails around the area!
“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!”
“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.”
“Kayleigh was phenomenal staying at our place with our dog! The place was spotless when we came home, and she provided great updates and pictures while we were gone. Highly recommend!!”
“Finding Addison was truly a blessing. Our original pet sitting plans fell through at the very last minute, and I was so fortunate to find her when I did. From the moment I met her, I just had a great feeling. She has such a kind, calming personality, and all of my dogs immediately took to her—which never happens! They’re usually very reserved with new people and take time to warm up, but with Addison it was instant. That alone gave me so much confidence. Throughout our trip, Addison kept me updated every single day without me ever having to ask. She sent photos, shared what the dogs and cats were up to, and made me feel like I was right there with them. She followed every instruction perfectly and honestly went above and beyond in so many ways. One of the sweetest surprises was coming home to little things she had done around the house that I never asked her to do. She even emptied the dishwasher and put all the dishes away. When I thanked her, she said her mom always taught her that after a trip, people should come home to a clean house so they can truly relax. That really touched me. Kudos to Addison—and to her mom—for raising such an incredible young woman. The greatest gift she gave me was peace of mind. Knowing my dogs and cats were loved, cared for, and genuinely enjoying their time with her allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation without worrying about them. That’s priceless. I already have another trip planned, and Addison will absolutely be my first choice. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She exceeded every expectation, and I am beyond grateful to have found her.”
“Ahna was great. She was a great communicator and sent amazing pictures of my little pup. Appreciate her very much and will definitely use her in the future and highly recommend her to everyone.”
“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! 🙏🏼❤️”
“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.”
“Sabrina was absolutely amazing! Next time we are in town we will definitely use her services again. Our dog loved her and I could tell that he really enjoyed her company. If you are ever in the area and need a dog sitter, Sabrina is the person to call.”
“Izzy is such a gem! She stayed at our home an entire a week and took care of our high energy, playful Labrador retriever . We received daily updates via pictures and video which was wonderful. She also took exceptional care of our home. I would not hesitate at all to have her back again.”
“Marta and Marshall are fantastic. This was my first experience with Rover and they made me feel completely comfortable leaving my fur baby. Marta is quick to answer texts. She sent a photo every day we were gone too. The house was in perfect order when I returned. If my Sadie could talk, 100% she’d request Marta and Marshall again. I will certainly be using Rover in the future and hope to book with Marta and Marshall.”
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
“Zero worries when Madison watches our doggos! We tell them ahead "Madison" is coming and they know when we leave with our luggage that she will be there soon to hang out and play and snuggle on the couch. We really appreciate she goes the extra mile to adapt to our schedule, and she knows their food and meds and treats. We are happy with some other Rover sitters, but Madison is our #1 go-to!”
“Ajah was absolutely fantastic! She loved on the babies and helped them feel safe and secure while we were gone She adjusted to their schedules and tackled every bump thay came along. She also kept everything cleaned and sent plenty of pictures and messages over the week so thay we felt at ease. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a house or pet sitter.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Allen
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! 🙏🏼❤️
I always struggle with leaving my pets behind when we travel, but Natasha immediately put my mind at ease by scheduling a meet-and-greet before we left. Our dog loved her right away! Natasha cared for both our dog and cat in our home while we were away, and she did a wonderful job keeping us updated with frequent pictures and messages. It was so reassuring to see that both pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Natasha and will definitely use her again!
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Allen on Rover is $50 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,201 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
