“Colleen did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs, Daisy and Duke. She was able to walk them several times a day since we do not have a yard to let them out in. And she stayed the night with them which helped Daisy who is our anxious and sensitive dogs. They were both seemed to love her and apparently she got some good snuggles! We will book with her again.”
“Tracy was a great dog and house sitter. She kept me updated on a regular basis, and I felt like our pup was in good hands. Really appreciate the peace of mind while we had to be away.”
“Hailey was simply amazing! She was a perfect fit for our cats, they seemed more comfortable and relaxed with her as a sitter than we've seen before. She sent us pictures every day so we got to see the cats in their favorite places, and watch them warm up to her. The house is exactly like we left it too, such a relaxing end to a trip.”
“As always kammie goes above and beyond. Sending lots of pictures, taking ronan out for walks, cleaning up his food and water area, and even sweeping the main area. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life. I was a zookeeper for 8 wonderful years so I am comfortable caring for all kinds of animals, big or small. Cats are my specialty. I do work Monday-Friday, so I’m only available for drop-ins on the weekends. Depending on the needs of the dog or cat, I can provide house sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I treat all animals as if they are my own. With my years of experience in animal care, I do great at reading dog and cat behavior and can respond appropriately in situations.
“Amy was great with our senior dog and took great care of the house while we were away for a long weekend. We came home to a happy pup and the house was spotless. Her communication throughout the trip was great - we will absolutely be using Amy again.”
“Courtney was really sweet. She took very good care of Luna. Luna got comfortable with her immediately. I highly recommended Courtney to take care of your fur friend. She was also flexible with the hours. We felt very comfortable and happy”
About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds since I was a little kid. Animal care, or animals in general have always been a major passion of mine. Neighbors and family friends have consistently relied on me for pet care whenever they’re heading out of town or are just gone for the day! I do have experience with a variety of different breeds (both cat and dog!) as well as many other reptiles, fish and birds. I will always meet any and all needs that may be required for your furry or scaly friends! It is my top priority to make sure your pets are safe, happy and well taken care of whenever needed 🙂! I am currently working part time while I am in school so my availability is pretty flexible 🤸! I am not available for boarding at the moment, however, I am open consistently throughout the week 😆! While in your home, I will make sure to adhere to and respect all rules and expectations given to me regarding your pets specific care as well as general house rules! Tell me to fly and I will 🚀, especially since you are trusting and welcoming me into your space to care for your babies! 🐾
“Bella did an absolutely amazing job caring for my two little ones!! I was so nervous as multiple other sitters had cancelled last minute and we were getting very close to the trip - she was so fast and courteous in her messaging and came out to do a meet and greet the next evening. She stayed in my home and kept me fully looped in on how things were going with multiple pictures throughout the trip. My two smaller dogs can be picky with people but they both adored her from the jump and they got so much love while I was gone. My littles have never been so happy while I’ve been gone, and my house was cleaned up when I returned! I will absolutely be booking Bella in the future, her care for dogs in unmatched!”
About: I had a large sized dog for most of my life and grew up with her from the age of a puppy until she passed away my freshman year of high school to old age. She was a pit/lab mix and I loved running with her, cuddling when she was tired, and even allowing her to "play" with me while I do yoga. I have so much love for animals, as I believe they are true reciprocates of unconditional love. I would love to spend time with your animals while you need them cared for. I am an opera singer and voice teacher. Finally, I guess a special skill would be I love relaxation techniques such as yoga, music, sound healing etc, and animals are so attuned to these activities that I could even provide a healing experience for your pet :) Currently available any time. I work from home and have flexibility in my job so very available to tend to pets! I have cared for many more pets than I have reviews you can see some of the doggos in my photos :) I am extremely compassionate and really like to provide that space for an animal to feel safe and welcome in my company. I like to build a relationship with animals and eventually find a language of communication where we seem to “get” each other.
“Ashland is amazing!, Very sweet & kind and our Yorkie missed her when she left. ( He sat at the door after she left and waited for her to come back) Have already re-booked.”

I do provide pet sitting via another site so I tend to book up quickly from there. I prefer when pet sitting in clients homes that they provide me with their expectations. For cats I do prefer inside cats only because I don’t want to be responsible if your indoor/outdoor cat doesn’t come home.

“Kelly is amazing! Our dogs are husky/shepherd mutts and they are not easy dogs to watch. Kelly took the time to form a bond with them and was able to give them the attention and exercise they need. She communicated with us regularly, sent us great photos, and left our home clean. It was obvious that the dogs were well cared for while we were away. I highly recommend Kelly and will definitely have her watch the dogs again in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,186 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Allenhurst. 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 Allenhurst 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 Allenhurst 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 Allenhurst 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.
