“I highly recommend Trisha to anyone seeking exceptional pet care. Throughout the stay, she demonstrated outstanding professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail. Regular updates and photos reassured me that Ferdinand was thriving. Trisha clearly went above and beyond expectations, and I am extremely appreciative of the high level of care provided!”
About: Welcome pet parents my name is Leandra Hanner. I bring a fun approach to pet care. I love taking dogs on walks and playing with cats! I’m comfortable with high energy dogs along with gentle care for seniors. When you book with us your pet becomes part of the family. I know leaving your pet can be hard so I try to make the transition as stress free as possible. My approach to pet care is simple patience, love and reliability. I’m happy to offer dog boarding in our home, and cats are in home services only. I’ve worked with many different dogs and happy to accommodate based on their routine and personality . Book with me!

I’m currently a SMC student and work as in home care aid for elderly, who has a soft spot for animals. We bring a compassionate and attentive approach to every pet we look after. My husband doesn’t work weekends at all and together we’re pretty much always available to ensure your furry friend feels at home and gets the attention they deserve. We’re excited to welcome your pet into our home and treat them like family. Welcome! My name is Leandra and Mark ,dedicated animal lovers providing a safe welcoming home for your dog!

We always have water out and will make sure the cat’s food is up high so the dog can’t eat it.

“Victoria always goes above and beyond each time she watches our precious pups and kitties. My pups and house was well taken care of while we were away. She even made a special trip back to help us out when our flights had setbacks. We will be using again!”
“Bethanie was amazing! She took great care of our dogs and home. It was my first time using the Rover app for a dog sitter and it was a great experience. 100% would recommend Bethanie.”
“Rebecca was amazing! My dogs liked her the minute she came in the door! It was so reassuring to know Rebecca was caring for our babies while we were away. She also took excellent care of our home. We definitely recommend her for drop in visits or - as in our case - full time care in our home. We like to travel, and will definitely be calling Rebecca for our next trips!! Thank you very much, Rebecca! P.S. Avalon and Sierra miss you! ??”
“Vanya was beyond amazing while staying at our house and watching our dog and two cats! She sent multiple pictures/updates throughout the days we were away and went above and beyond to keep our house clean and our pets happy. We will definitely be using Vanya in the future for as long as she will have us!”
“Casey Is Great! This is my first time using rover so obviously I was really nervous about this, but after talking to her she made me feel so much better! Responds fast, updates you throughout the day &’ is a sweetheart I would definitely book again!”
“I have used this app throughout the years and Nicholas is by far THE BEST! He is reliable, on time, communicates very well and leaves no trace. As a matter of fact, he left our place looking better than it was when we went away. Most importantly, our dog and cat were calm and happy - they were definitely in good hands. We recommend Nicholas and hope he is available for our family again in the future.”
About: I had several dogs when i was in high school. I worked in a dog daycare so I'm used to watching 8 to 17 dogs at once. I also learned about dog behavior so I'm very comfortable around all types of dogs. I'm doing Rover full-time so I will have lots of time to spend giving your best friend all the belly rubs and pets they desire! I have 2 bunnies and a corgi at home and I always make sure they have lots of love and attention and that's what I'll do for your fur baby!
“I had Olivia take care of my fur babies recently. I have a rescue dog who is nervous/reactive and it can be stressful for me as an owner. Olivia was great with her and knew just how to make her comfortable. Sissy warmed up to her and there were no issues whatsoever. She sent me pictures/ updates to let me know how she was doing. I will definitely use her again when I need fur baby sitting in the future.”
“Samantha was very professional and responsive. She was quick to suggest a get-acquainted visit, so I was able to meet her and feel good about booking with her a couple of weeks before our trip. The day before the booking, she messaged me to confirm the time she would come the next day. As soon as she got in the house to take care of our dog, she texted a photo of him and assured us that he was doing well. She was great at communicating with us and sending pics of our pup. When we returned, the house was in great shape and our dog was calm and happy. We'll call her again!”
“Because of a family emergency that took us out state, Jeremiah stepped up and took care of our fur babies with very little notice. He stayed at our house overnight with our pets. He sent daily photos of both our pets and answered any questions we had. When we got home, our babies were happy and the house was clean. We would absolutely hire Jeremiah again!”
“Troy did a fantastic job sitting for our Golden Retriever, Dory, while we were away for the weekend. He also took care of feeding the fish in our aquarium and attending to a few household items that went above and beyond what we expected him to do. So glad to have Troy on call through Rover to help with our pet sitting needs.”
“Debra was great with my two fur babies. She kept up with their routine daily. She kept me informed on a daily basis and sent pictures every day. I would refer her to others who are looking for a trustworthy and reasonable pet sitter. Thanks again to Debra for being here when I couldn’t.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Allenton
Victoria was an absolute blessing for us during a very difficult and emotional day. She was incredibly compassionate and reassuring throughout the entire house-sitting stay. It brought us so much peace of mind knowing our two rescue Shiba Inus were in such caring hands. Ela has high anxiety, and Max has only been with us for five months. Victoria arrived early and was so patient that she was even able to brush Max, which is a huge milestone for him! She sent us regular updates, including photos, and followed all instructions perfectly. She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs felt safe and loved. We cannot recommend her highly enough and will absolutely book her again!

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 Allenton 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 Allenton 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 Allenton 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 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.
