“Beth was amazing to have as our pet/house sitter, making our 10-day vacation stress-free! She's an excellent communicator, and both responsible and responsive regarding all facets of home and pet care. We have 2 young cats who can be a bit shy around new people- but they loved Beth immediately and are honestly probably bummed that we're back! The house was left in excellent condition as well (not that we expected any different, but just saying:). As I'm sure is the case with all pet owners, we're always a little anxious about leaving the cats for long periods of time but really had no stress about it whatsoever on this occasion. We will definitely look to book Beth or our next time away! Thanks again!”
“Alice and Lydia house sat our pups while we were on vacation. They responded quickly to our booking request and check-ins while we were away. We plan to use them again for future dog sitting.”
“This was our first time using a dog/house sitter and it was perfect! Johnny was terrific and we can't thank him enough. We can't wait to plan another trip and know that our pups are being cared for like we care for them. Thank you! Thank you!”
About: I’ve spent the past 6 years caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors! I’ve cared for households with as many as 16 dogs at once, including a litter of newborn puppies, and have experience with multiple-pet households, administering medications, and extended overnight stays. I’ve also built lasting relationships with several families I’ve pet-sat for over the years, which is one of my favorite parts of what I do! But beyond the experience, I genuinely LOVE getting to know each animal. Whether your pup loves hiking, playing fetch, learning tricks, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I want to make sure they’re getting more than just the basics. I don’t just fit your pets into my schedule. I make them part of my day! 🐾 With two dogs and four cats of my own, caring for animals is already a huge part of my everyday routine! I’m very familiar with early morning potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and everything else that comes with having pets. I’m comfortable following specific routines and adjusting my day around each pet’s individual needs. I understand how important consistency is, especially when their owners are away, and I always do my best to keep their daily routines as familiar and comfortable as possible. Pet care isn’t something I just squeeze into my day. I make it my focus! ‼️A Little Note About Pricing! ‼️ I genuinely love what I do, and I understand that every pet and household has different needs! While I do have my standard rates listed, I’m always happy to discuss pricing and see what works best for YOU! My biggest priority is making sure your pets receive the love, attention, and care they deserve! ❤️ Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I know how stressful it can be for animals when their owners are away, which is why I especially enjoy caring for pets in their own homes, where they’re surrounded by familiar smells, routines, and favorite places. I pay close attention to each animal’s behavior, body language, and individual needs. Whether that means recognizing when they’re anxious, giving them space, or offering a little extra attention, I want them to feel safe and comfortable with me. I believe great pet care goes beyond simply following a list of instructions. Of course, I’ll make sure every need is met, but I also make an intentional effort to give your pets genuine companionship, affection, and enrichment throughout our time together. I want them to feel loved, not just looked after! I have experience administering medications, preparing homemade meals according to owners’ instructions, caring for senior dogs and puppies, and managing multi-pet households. I always follow your feeding schedules, house rules, and specific care instructions. I also treat your home with respect! With your permission, I’m happy to help with light tidying or small household tasks while you’re away. And of course, I love keeping owners updated with pictures and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands! ❤️
“Jordan took after our two puppies in our house for a week as well as a kitty cat and did an absolutely fabulous job I trust her implicitly. We got wonderful puppy updates frequently which really helped us when we were out of the country. Came back to a very clean house and very happy and well exercised Puppies. Will definitely use Jordan again.”
“Suzanne is simply amazing! This was our second time booking her, and without a doubt, we’ll keep coming back. She treats my senior dogs, Gidget and Elvira, with such kindness and care—it’s clear she genuinely loves what she does. From thoughtful updates to going above and beyond to accommodate their needs, Suzanne provides peace of mind that’s hard to find. Her kindness and reliability make her an absolute gem. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Chloe did an exceptional job watching our Dane. He was dealing with an injury and needed extra attention, a cone and medication and Chloe met all of his needs. This was our first time using Rover and being able to travel with peace of mind that our boy was at home made our trip so much more enjoyable. We came home to a very happy boy and a clean house. We will for sure be using Chloe on future trips and recommend her to any of our friends that have pets.”
About: I’ve been tending to animals since I was about 7 years old, I’ve grown up with cats, dogs, reptiles, farm animals, and more so I’m very comfortable around all pets! I also attended a school where I helped care for animals through my high school years. My schedule is pretty flexible, and honestly, I’d love an excuse to spend more time around animals. I’ve always had a soft spot for cats, especially the weird little personalities they all have. I’m happy to give them attention, play with them, or just hang out and let them do their thing. I’m pretty easygoing and patient, and I like giving animals the time they need to get comfortable with me. I also have a 15-year-old cat, so I definitely have a soft spot for older animals and understand that they can need a little extra patience, care, and attention. Every pet is different, and I’m happy to meet them where they’re at.
About: I've been pet sitting privately for over eight years and added energy healing (BioEnergetic Synchronization Technique) to my repertoire for animals and people in 2023. I'd be happy to direct you to my personal site for testimonials or share some of the 50+ five-star reviews I've amassed on other platforms. Animals take to me very quickly, and I absolutely adore them! I have many regulars who reach out to me before anyone else because they feel complete peace of mind when I am with their pets. I know how important that is and love to provide that with an abundance of photos and updates. BEST energy work helps heal physical issues, as well as emotional challenges, like separation anxiety. Please note that while I love and do B.E.S.T. with all animals, at this time I am generally only accepting live-in pet sitting requests with cats. I do much of my work remotely, and even my most food-forward feline regulars allow me to focus fully when I'm holding a session. Most of them even curl up right next to me. Due to the nature of my remote energy work, I am only accepting cat sits at this time. They tend to love my work as much as my play! I stick to whatever schedule and routines the animals are already used to, unless otherwise requested. I am very sensitive to animals' needs and catch on very quickly if they need anything.
“Ivory was a wonderful dog/house sitter for us! She gave us lots of updates and pictures throughout the week and she left our house in great condition. We would love to have her back in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 442 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Allenstand. 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 Allenstand 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 Allenstand 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 Allenstand 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.
