“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.”
“Julian did an excellent job taking care of my cat Simon. He followed all my instructions exactly like I wanted. He fed Simon at the appropriate schedule, cleaned his litter box, and made sure his water bowl was clean and filled. He also took the time to play with him and pet him so he wouldn’t feel lonely. I would hire Julian to take care of my cat again in a heartbeat.”
About: Hi my name is TaylorNicole! I am a senior in college and hoping to save up money to make sure that once I leave school I have good foundation to start with. I have over 20+ years of animal caring experience. Within the last 10-15 years I have become extremely knowledgeable and skilled when it comes to dogs and cats. With ages ranging from a day old new born to a senior cat/dog, I know how to handle almost any situation. I have knowledge and skills in administrating IV fluids/medications, shots of any kind, or medications of any kinds. I’ve taken care of and fully recovered pets with PARVOVIRUS, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes. I can promise you that your baby would be in the best hands possible. I’m currently on winter break from college in the area and I have more free time than I know what to do with. Pet care would be my main priority and focus. I would be available whenever I have 4 cats myself and I care for them like they are my legitimate children. They are spoiled rotten and yours would be too. Respecting the fact the the home is the pet’s territory, making it so it was a gradual easy process of me watching the animal/s would be my main focus.
“Jennifer was amazing with our dog! She maintained great contact, keeping us updated with pictures and text messages. She followed instructions to the letter and showed great attention to detail. It was July 4th weekend and fireworks were really terrifying for our boy. Jennifer handled him like a pro! We had never used a house sitter before and were anxious how our dog would do. We had NOTHING to worry about with Jennifer. We are already talking about planning another trip since this worked out so well. I give Jennifer a 10 on a 10 scale! She was FABULOUS!”
“Caitlyn went above and beyond with our pets. We were able to rest assured that they were in good hands. She was also willing to help us last minute and we couldn't have asked for more.”
“Jessica did a wonderful job with our two dogs while we were away. She was prompted with the request, meet and greet and booking. She provided several updates and photos while we were gone. We will most defiantly utilize her services 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.”
“Aspen was one of the best sitters we have hired. She communicated super well, she was kind, sent me a ton of videos and pictures and was very flexible. I highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to care for their puppies in the best of ways! She also house sat and left the home the way that she found it...and that's huge! Thank you, Aspen! See you soon.”
“This was our 1st time using Rover so my anxiety was high having 2 large dogs needing medication twice a day. Our sitter Cathy was great. We had her over beforehand to meet the dogs and everything went great. 2 of our dogs are Dobermans so they can be protective but all was good. Thank you for all you did and giving us the opportunity to get away and enjoy ourselves.”
About: I have been officially pet sitting for about 3 years but I have had many animals since I was a little girl. I am a veterinary technician and have been for 4.5 years so I am no stranger to administering medications and even giving insulin to pets. I currently have 3 cats and a dog. I work full time (off Tuesdays and I work one Saturday a month) so if your pets are not comfortable being home alone for 4-5 hours then I am not the right fit for you. If your pet loves to cuddle I am all for it! I have no problem with being covered in fur. If you have a specific regiment for your fur babies I will be glad to follow all instructions and specifics; I very much appreciate lists and written instructions. I love taking fur babies for pup cups especially! (If allowed of course)
About: Thanks for stopping by! My name is Kylar and I’ve been around dogs and cats since I could walk, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. For the past three years, I’ve been the proud pet parent of my dog Jessie, who reminds me every day how special our furry companions are. I’m experienced with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for every animal I meet. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them like family and keep you updated every step of the way. Also, i’m always open to a meet and greet before you leave your dog under my care. As pet parents. It’s important that you feel comfortable and safe knowing that your dog is in the best possible care! I’m usually available Monday through Friday after 5 pm and a bit more flexible with the weekends. I’m a big fan of getting extra outdoor time and happy to take your furry friends on extra long walks. Me and my dog Jessie walk atleast 3 miles everyday! My dog Jessie eats twice a day and I’m extra careful with his food and bowl because his stomach can be sensitive. He only eats out of a freshly washed bowl, has plenty of playtime daily, and always gets cuddle time whenever I can squeeze it in!
About: Experienced with dogs and cats; emergency animal hospital background. Pet CPR/First Aid certified. Skilled, calm, reliable and attentive to your pets normal routine. Whether it's walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. I am also comfortable giving medications and following veterinary instructions closely. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and can accommodate overnight stays when needed. With my background in an emergency animal hospital, I’m used to structured routines and can easily adapt to your pet’s specific schedule and needs. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, keeping the environment calm, clean, and consistent to reduce stress. I ensure pets are always supervised during visits, maintain secure doors and leashes during walks, and provide fresh water, feeding, and medication as directed.
About: With over 25 years of experience caring for animals, I bring a lifetime of love, patience, and hands-on knowledge to every pet I care for. From energetic puppies to gentle senior pets, I’ve nurtured animals through every stage of life. Our home is filled with kindness and activity—my three children have grown up around animals and share my deep love and respect for them. Whether your pet needs playful attention, a cozy cuddle, or a calm and reliable routine, you can trust that they’ll be treated like family in our care. As a homeschooling family, we have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows us to be home throughout the week. This makes it easy to provide attentive, reliable care for pets without the disruption of a traditional 9–5 job. Pet sitting fits naturally into our daily rhythm—whether it’s walking a dog, feeding and checking in on animals, or offering companionship and playtime, we’re available and present. My kids also enjoy helping (with supervision), adding extra love and attention to the care we provide. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and loved. Whether they’re staying for a day or a week, I make sure they have plenty of playtime, exercise, and snuggles—along with any specific care or routines they’re used to. I follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, and keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I have always loved animals, I have grown up with dogs, and I also have 2 cats! Although I don’t often pet sit, I have a lot of experience caring for dogs/cats throughout my own life and assure you I will treat your pets as one of my own! All of my pets have been rescues and some have had disabilities, so I have experience in navigating their behavior and mistrust towards others. My animals are like family to me and I know how nerve racking it is leaving them, so I promise to give your pets the best care while you are gone 💖 I’m currently a student on summer break working part-time! Because my schedule is flexible, there are times I can be available for last minute requests. I am very reliable and dependable! My pets are treated like family and are very well taken care of. My dog is a senior Bechon who has separation anxiety and cannot be alone for long periods of time. Hence, we frequently take him on walks or car rides. One of my cats requires daily medicine and the other is full of energy and loves to play. They are constantly near us to snuggle or receive our attention
About: I have had dogs all my life. And friends and family have always relied on me to feed, walk, and play with their happy pups. I'm available to walk, feed and play with your furry friends on weekdays early in the mornings and on evenings and anytime on the weekends. I follow any guidelines and dietary restrictions you have for your best friend. And will always come to your home to make sure the pup feels safe in his environment.
“Megan was great and our animals loved her. We enjoyed receiving the picture updates while out of town. She’s very thoughtful and considerate. Definitely recommend for pet/house sitting!”
“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.”
About: I fortunately have 6+ years experience working in the veterinary field and I’ve also been pet sitting for 10 years, for close friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues of mine. I can take care of special needs pets, giving oral or injectable medications and changing diapers or applying creams. I got you covered! I’m currently part-time at my job so I have ample time for play dates, walks, sleep overs, whatever your pet care needs may be! I have a large fenced in yard, treats for both dogs and cats, toys for both dogs and cats, and a medium size crate if needed I can provide for those of our furry friends who are crate trained.
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life, especially dogs. Some as small as my mom‘s Chihuahua, to dogs as big as my sister‘s great mastiffs. Ive cared for all types of pets and would love to meet many more! Recently I’ve started working part time but I’m open to work around that! I try to be as flexible as I can. If you’d like me to drop in to feed, walk, or watch your pet, I’ll be available. Whatever type of routine your pets have I’m down to follow it. Lots of pets I’ve worked with have specific eating routines, as well as walking routines, I’m here to learn what works best for you.
“Laura is a very sweet young lady! She cared for my pets as if they were her own. She kept in contact with me, sent pictures, and called with questions as needed. She followed all instructions perfectly! My pets were well cared for while we were away. We will definitely hire Laura again in the future!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Allenhurst
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,187 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.
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 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 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.

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.
