We will definitely have Evelyn sit again!”
About: I’ve owned several dogs over the years, and have helped family and friends with their dogs as well. I adopted a reactive pit bull and trained her, making great progress in her ability to meet new people, animals, and have new experiences, and want to help care for other animals now that she has passed. Happy to work with all kinds of dogs! I work from home so I am available during the day for quick walks and potty breaks, with time for a longer walk at lunchtime. In evenings, I often have theater rehearsals or recreational sports leagues, but am able to come home within a few hours. I am very comfortable in any environment, and I am willing to work in whichever way will make you more comfortable for your pet’s needs.
“Lisa was great! This was the first time we’d ever had anyone watch Ivy so we were so nervous. Lisa took all the anxiety away for us, AND Ivy which was the real concern. Definitely will use her again. Thanks Lisa!!”
“Nicole is very patient and sweet. Even though my dog is anxious with new people, he was comfortable with her from the start. She took him on several walks and gave him lots of love. I highly recommend Nicole!”
About: I am currently a proud parent to two cat, so I’m very well versed in their play styles and respecting their boundaries. However I spent my childhood with a loving dog who recently passed away. Navigating his senior years taught me that care isn’t just about walks or treats but about patience, sometimes administering medication, and recognizing subtle cues of a senior pet that may need a little extra comfort. Whether your pet is a high energy pet or senior pet who needs a gentle hand, I provide intuitive, dedicated, and delicate care that I’d want for my own. I’m currently a college student, but have lots of time to care for your pets! I’m available on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:30 PM-4:00 PM or 5:30 PM-10:00 PM. Thursday- Sunday I’m available anytime after 7:00 PM. Whatever your pets need, I have it covered and their safety is always my number one priority. From double checking that every gate is latched and every lease is secured/correctly on to closely monitoring your pets for any sign of discomfort, ill treat your home and your pets with the highest level of care. Whether it’s following a strict medication schedule or navigating a high energy walk, I’m prepared for any situation!
About: I've taken care of cats for about 12 years and I'm very good with my friends' dogs. I tend to get along very well with animals and I love taking care of them! I'm currently a student but am fairly flexible when it comes to figuring out times to take care of your pet! Let me know your needs and I will do my best to fulfill them. I am very patient and kind with animals. I'll make sure I'm thorough about discussing your pets' needs with you and will follow your instructions well
“Sadie stayed at my condo for seven days watching our dog and cat. She did an amazing job. She was trustworthy and responsible and she gave 150% for everything she did. Sadie communicated well before, during, and after her stay. She was clean and she was gracious. I will definitely plan to see if Sadie is available if I ever am out of town and I highly recommend her to anybody wanting an amazing pet sitter!”

About: Hi, I’m Anisha! I’m a respected and responsible healthcare professional who has dedicated my career to caring for others—and that same compassion extends to pets. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’m a proud and beloved “doggie auntie” to many pups in my life. From snuggles to walks to playtime, I treat every dog like family. You can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and loving with your pet, whether it’s keeping up with their daily routine, making sure they get plenty of exercise, or giving them extra TLC while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I work full-time Tuesday through Friday from 8am–4pm, which means I’m available in the evenings on those days as well as mornings before work. I also have full availability on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for pets outside of my work hours. When caring for pets, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—whether that’s mealtime, walks, playtime, or medication—so they feel secure and cared for just like they would with you. I give plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also keeping their environment tidy and stress-free. My priority is to treat every pet as if they were my own, with a balance of responsibility and lots of love.
“With the meet and greet we could see that William knows how to relate to dogs. He suggested that he wanted to rollerblade with Bella because she has so much energy. I can tell when we arrived home that she was well taken care of because she was relaxed and acted like we weren’t even gone. It is nice to know we have found someone who we can trust with our Bella and our home. We have booked William again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Allens Acres
Anne took excellent care of my elderly dog who requires multiple medications and a lot of attention. At the same time she cared for my grumpy cat and was a wonderful custodian of my home. I would have her house sit and care for my pets again without hesitation. Plus she’s a really pleasant person!
Earlier this year Elizabeth would do once a day drop in visits for our cat. But now my cat is newly diabetic and needs shots twice daily which complicates going out of town more! Having Elizabeth regularly checking on my cat and doing the shots is so helpful. I appreciate it so much!
Christine was available last minute on a holiday weekend and more than willing to help us out. My dogs LOVED her! She was super flexible, walked them a ton, sent frequent updates and pictures. She even managed to charm my Multi-shi who is very selective with his love. So thankful we found her and will definitely use her again. She not only cared for our dogs but kept an eye on the house too.

The average cost of House Sitting in Allens Acres is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $44 per night.

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 Allens Acres 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 Allens Acres 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 Allens Acres 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.
