“So grateful I found Joe! My new cat had never been left alone and I refused to board him. I was nervous and wasn’t sure how’d he handle another big change in schedule so soon. Joe made me far more comfortable, he was always on time, my cat even went to the front door around the time Joe would come so he was obviously comfortable as well. I will absolutely be asking him back when needed.”
“Kayla did a great job in pet sitting out cat Gemma. She was also more than happy to assist in caring for our cat and among other tasks that were needed during our time away. I highly recommend her services.”
“I would highly recommend Janice! We reached out to her last minute, she responded quickly and did a great job with Jack and Avery! She always sent pictures and responded quickly to our requests. She's great and would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and always treat every pet like my own. I’m reliable, follow care instructions carefully, and prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM with Allen ISD and part-time at HEB on Sundays from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. My part-time schedule is flexible and can be adjusted for bookings when needed. I offer house sitting in the client’s home, where I stay overnight and care for your pets in their familiar environment. During house sitting stays, I follow your pet’s normal routine including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. On weekdays, I may be away during work hours (8 AM–4 PM), but I return immediately after work to continue care and maintain consistency for your pets. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how things are going. Service Areas: Allen, McKinney, and Plano I’m committed to keeping your pets comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I care for pets in the client’s home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are always secured, and I double-check all entry points to keep pets safe at all times. I also monitor pets closely for behavior changes, stress, or health concerns and will immediately communicate with the owner if anything seems unusual. If the home has a fenced yard, I use it for safe outdoor time and supervised play. When outside, pets are always monitored and never left unattended. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean and following all house rules. My goal is to provide a calm, reliable, and trustworthy environment so both pets and owners feel completely at ease.
“Natasha is awesome! She has great communication, is so sweet and accommodating, and I feel at ease trusting her to drop in to check on my cat. I'll be booking her again!”
“Love Marshall and Marta both are very communicative responsive and so kind. Luna loves Marshall and we are so grateful for the wonderful service they always give. I’d recommend them to everyone they are organized and always on time. Just nice people 🩷”
“Braylee came to care for our outdoor cat and spent time calling for her and sitting with her while she eats. She was great with her communication and provided many pictures to keep us updated while out of town. We looked forward to the updates daily.”
“Sara is an excellent pet sitter! My cat isn’t always the warmest with new people and she was able to win her over like it was the easiest thing in the world. She follows any special instructions you need for your pet and takes the time to get to know them. I have already booked Sara for my next out of town trip. You will be happy you booked with her!”
“Rachelle is the absolute best you can find in my opinion!!! She’s loving, sensible, loves fur babies, and knows what needs doing. This was my first time leaving my 2 young kitties and first time with Rover. Felt totally at comfortable knowing Rachelle had everything covered. She did everything I asked and more. I cannot recommend her more!! Thankyou!!!!!”
“Blake is truly outstanding! She did everything as instructed and did an excellent job keeping us apprised. She was very attentive to our three cats, devoting time to playing and snuggling. She even managed to befriend our shy cat who often goes AWOL when strangers are in the house. I highly recommend Blake.”

Pam went above and beyond, and we truly couldn’t be more grateful! She gave us complete peace of mind while we were away, and we never had to worry about a thing. She gave our cat so much love and attention, kept us updated with photos and great communication, and even went out of her way to bring toys and catnip. She also took care of little things like bringing in the mail and taking out the trash, which meant so much to us. Pam is incredibly kind, professional, thoughtful, and trustworthy. We will absolutely use her again and again! ❤️
I had a wonderful experience with Ashleigh and truly appreciate all the care, time, and effort she put into looking after my cats while I was away. From the beginning, she was incredibly kind, patient, and easy to communicate with, which made the entire experience so much easier for me. Being away from home for an extended period of time can be stressful, especially when you have multiple cats with different personalities and needs. Ashleigh was always understanding, accommodating, and willing to help whenever I had questions or needed something taken care of. She was very responsive and kept me informed, which I really appreciated, especially since I was overseas and dealing with a significant time difference.
All I can say about this girl is one thing!!!! LIZZIE ROCKS WITH ANYTHING SHE DOES AND WHEN TOU THINK THATS GOOD ENOUGH IT GETS EVEN BETTER!!!!! Ya she will surprise you with something EVEN BETTER!!!v and with a smile on her face! She works tiredly for each one of us and we always be forever grateful. No one has ever touched what Lizzie saw and heard,,,,,,,,you are the bestest!!!
Rue took such wonderful care of our dog Cinnamon and cat Cookie while we were away! This was our first time using a drop in pet sitter, and we’re so grateful for her help. It meant so much knowing our babies were being cared for while we enjoyed time with our kids. Thank you, Rue, for giving us peace of mind! We’d happily book with her again. 💕
I don’t know how lucky we got to have Jennie and her husband check in and be there for our pets on our first rover experience because it was exceptional! I don’t know if this is how she handles everyone’s pets but she went above and beyond to make sure our girls were taken care of! The pictures she would take to update us on her visits and what they were doing gave us ease of mind to focus on being present during our trip! Jennie, thank you it truly means the world!
Heide checked in on my dogs (1xl and 1small) while I was away for a night. She spent plenty of time beforehand to get to know them so they’d feel comfortable and was super communicative during my trip. I can tell she genuinely loves animals and will absolutely book with her again. Thank you Heide!!
Molly was so lovely. My pup is definitely full of anxiety and it can make it challenging to establish trust and create a relationship, but Molly was so patient and kind with my sweet girl. She communicated so well, sent update pictures, and was so kind throughout the whole process. I would absolutely recommend Molly and I know any pup would be lucky to have her taking care of them 🩵
Our cats are very shy with strangers but Garrett & Jessia understood and did not force an interaction. They waited until our cats were ready for attention and checked in on them daily while we were on vacation. They are the first pet sitters we have ever had and we will definitely be booking again!
Kenzie was fantastic! We were gone about 2 1/2 days and had zero doubt that our dogs would be cared for. They loved her the moment she walked in for a meet and greet. Every time she came, she took photos of them for us and they were so happy. We will be using Kenzie again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Allen is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 per visit. 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 7,255 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Allen. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Allen. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
