About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have both personal and professional experience caring for them. I previously worked at a veterinary clinic and spent a few years working at an animal boarding facility and vet clinic, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs and cats, even exotic animals of all different ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. Working in both veterinary and boarding environments taught me how to read animal body language, recognize when a pet may be stressed or uncomfortable, and patiently work with animals who are nervous, shy, energetic, or adjusting to being away from their families. I also understand how important routines are, especially when pets are in an unfamiliar environment. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone new, and I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable with me. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, endless cuddles, or prefers a little more personal space, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible while you’re away. As of right now, I'm currently not working right now, so I have plenty of time to see your pets as needed. I'm available most days! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I do my best to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, bedtime routines, and any special care they may need. In my home, pets will get plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, enrichment, and downtime depending on their personality and energy level. I always prioritize a safe, clean, and comfortable environment and keep a close eye on how each pet is adjusting. When caring for pets in their own home, I’m respectful of both your pet’s space and your home. I’ll make sure they receive the same love and attention they’re used to while keeping things tidy and secure. My previous experience working in both a veterinary clinic and boarding facility has taught me that every animal is different. I’m comfortable adapting my care to pets who are outgoing and energetic as well as those who are shy, anxious, senior, or simply need a little extra patience. And of course, you can expect plenty of updates and cute pictures while you’re away!
About: I have always loved animals. They are Gods proof of his love for us. Your beautiful fur baby will be in safe hands with me. I am a stay at home mom. My husband and I have five children. Two of them have graduated High School, two are in Elementary School and the last one just turned three. I am enrolled in online school pursuing my masters degree in Adolescent therapy/counseling. My schedule is very flexible especially during the day. I love and have lived by the Cesar Milan method of exercise, discipline, affection when training our family dogs. I love dogs very much but cannot allow being pushed around by them either. Boundaries are very important.
“Thanks for watching our dogs!!! Katie is great, one of our dogs can be verrrryy difficult with strangers and she handled it so well and was petting him by the next day! Would recommend 😃”
“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!”
“Alexis did an excellent job caring for my two kitties while I was away for a week. She was very responsive and did a great job providing updates and photos along the way. I would definitely choose her again.”
“Kayla was so sweet and caring when checking on our senior cat while we were away. Our cat immediately loved getting head scratches and visiting with Kayla. Her love of animals is obvious and we would use Kayla again for pet sitting. Thank you!”
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.
“Daniela was absolutely amazing with our dogs! Our biggest, most anxious dog was immediately comfortable with her! She sent great pictures, kept us updated, and was more than willing to accommodate our changing schedule. She gave our pups an extra treat on national dog day to make them feel special! Will definitely use her in the future!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. Growing up on a farm, I was constantly surrounded by animals and learned early on how to care for them with patience and compassion. Since I was five, I’ve had dogs and cats, rescued and bottle-fed baby kittens, trained countless puppies, and even had a hedgehog at one point! I currently have two dogs and a puppy of my own, and I also help my dad care for his dog when he’s out of town—walking her, bathing her, and treating her like she’s part of my own pack. Every animal I care for gets the same level of love and attention as if they were my own. Whether it's senior dogs needing a slower pace or high-energy pups who love to play, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have the flexibility to work from home or anywhere when needed. I’m off nights and weekends, and I’m also able to step away during the day for morning walks, midday check-ins, or drop-in visits. Whether it's a quick potty break, playtime, or some extra cuddles, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, their comfort and safety always come first. I create a calm, loving environment and make sure to follow your routines as closely as possible—whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, daily walks, or bedtime habits. In your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for in their familiar surroundings. I'm attentive to details, keep things clean, and always double-check that doors, gates, and crates are secure. If I’m hosting in my home, your pet will have a peaceful space to relax, play, and feel right at home—away from chaos and stress. Building trust with both pets and their people is important to me, and I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, or answer questions so you feel at ease while you’re away.
“Camaryn was great with our cats. I loved getting updates about their mood and behavior, and pictures! I missed them so much but it felt good to know they weren't being neglected.”
“Tiffany took great care of our pets while we were gone. She even brought in packages while we were away. Our cats were happy to see us when we came home. She is professional and she knows how to take care of our fur family. Thank you Tiffany.”
“Becky has been absolutely amazing with my hounds, Levi & Leo. As a veterinarian working long hours, I worry about leaving them behind — but Becky always puts my mind completely at ease. She sends the best pictures and updates, so I can actually see how happy and loved they are while I’m gone. It’s clear they get lots of love (not just checked on!), and that means the world to me. I always come home to two relaxed, content pups and am so grateful for the thoughtful, attentive care she gives them. I truly couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter & highly recommend! 🐾💛”
“Calvin and his wife were absolutely fantastic. They took excellent care of my little fur baby for four days. I’ll definitely be using their services again, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of pet care.”
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life so I am very comfortable (and obsessed with!) every type of fluffypals. I administer insulin to one of my pups daily, and have no issue giving meds to your sick puppy 😉 I was recently laid off and am looking for a (fun and rewarding way) to use my time while I hunt for the right role. Even after that, I’ll be available on evenings and weekends! I have two dogs with a fenced yard - they’re incredibly spoiled….all the cuddles and soft blankets and toys they could want. They get daily walks for exercise and socialization.
“Clara was amazing at making sure sky was well taken care of and stimulated every time she came over! She was patient when she first met him, and understanding of his needs because he has trouble being around new people but Clara had no issues with it and was able to find a way to work with him. If you have a fur baby or pet that needs special care and attention, Clara is the person to hire! Always took pictures and was respectful of the space. 10/10 would highly recommend!”
“Excellent experience from start to finish! Elena was able to come over on very short notice to let the dogs out in the middle of the day, and I couldn’t be more appreciative. She was very responsive, reliable, and made the whole process incredibly easy. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my dogs were being taken care of. I would definitely recommend Elena to anyone looking for a dependable and trustworthy sitter and will absolutely rebook in the future!”
“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.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Allen is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Allen
Pamela was absolutely amazing! From our initial meet and greet, we immediately felt comfortable knowing our three cats would be in great hands. She took such wonderful care of them and truly went above and beyond—not only caring for our cats, but also bringing in our mail and even taking care of our trash cans on trash day. This was our first time using Rover, and Pamela made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. It gave us such peace of mind while we were away knowing our cats and home were being so well cared for. We will absolutely be using her again and couldn’t recommend her enough!
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.
Christa took amazing care of our French Bulldog, Minnie, while we were on vacation for over a week. She was reliable, communicative, and sent great updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and packages and doing our dishes. We truly appreciated her thoughtfulness and will definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Tiffany was wonderful with our dogs while we were away. She did drop-in visits over the week and kept everything running smoothly, so we never had to worry for a second. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals in her care. Our pups were happy, well-fed, and comfortable the whole time, and we came home to two content dogs and a tidy house. We'd absolutely book Tiffany again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter. Thank you, Tiffany!

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 .

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.
