“I highly recommend Tricia M. It was a great experience for us over the Thanksgiving Holiday. Dogs were well cared for and relaxed when we got home. I appreciate the updates and pictures of the pups. This was a much better option than boarding, worked out so well!”
“Victoria spent Friday thru Sunday housesitting and pet sitting Hazel. She did a good job - great communication and I appreciated all the photo updates. We’ve already rebooked her for another upcoming vacation.”
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! Hi I’m Leandra and together with my husband we offer a loving and reliable pet care service through rover. 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! I live in a quiet solo apartment ( no shared walls). With plenty of room for dogs to roam and feel cozy and secure. I understand that dogs are family and it’s my top priority to maintain their routine and comfort. We will treat them like our own! Leash safety- We will bring every dog out on a leash during outings for safety. Supervision- Your dog will never be left unsupervised with my 3 dog friendly cats unless I'm 100% confident they’re comfortable together. My pets- I have 3 dog friendly cats who can retreat to their own space and even be separated if needed. Trust- I am happy to provide frequent updates and photo updates to give you peace of mind while you are away. Environment- We keep our apartment clean and tidy and pet friendly. We always have water out and will make sure the cat’s food is up high so the dog can’t eat it. Your dog will get tons of attention and affection while staying with us along with a stress free environment and home like setting. Happy to provide walks and lots of playtime.
“Amy was wonderful. She came and did a meet a great. She was communicative and the house was found as it was left. My puppers were pleased. I have chicks in the house right now and she watched them for me as well. Would absolutely recommend Amy!”
“All I can say is “Wow!” Nick not only cared for our cat but looked after our home. He watered the outdoor potted plants and picked tomatoes for us. He even washed the towels and bedsheets. I truly believe he left our house cleaner than it was when we left. If you want complete confidence that your pet and home will be well cared for, we highly recommend Nick!”
“Ruth did a lovely job taking care of our two dogs while we were on vacation and provided wonderful updates with photos. Our dogs were so happy and calm when we got home. Our home was also cleaner when we got home than when we left! Would highly recommend Ruth and will definitely rebook with her 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.”
“Casey did the most fabulous and wonderful job dog-walking and house-sitting with my 'pack' of three mongrels!! Thank you, Casey! She was communicative, friendly, and kept the house immaculate while I was away. My three dogs are a lot to handle, truly, and required many walks per day, which she handled like a pro. Plus, Casey had great ideas for my dogs' overall wellbeing after spending so much time with them. She's a natural dog 'mom' for sure! My babies very calm and happy when I returned home. Casey made my work trip abroad 1000x easier. I will definitely be booking her services the next time I need help!”
“Michaela is an attentive, caring pet sitter. She is an excellent communicator and took perfect care of our little dog as well as our home. I cannot say enough positive things about our first experience with her and Rover.com. I highly recommend Michaela!!!!”
About: Hi! My name is Sammi, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. Growing up, dogs were always part of my family, and I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from young puppies to senior dogs. One of our family dogs had three litters of puppies, so I gained a lot of experience caring for newborn puppies and helping them grow. Over the years, several of our dogs have also joined our family as puppies, so I’m very familiar with puppy behaviors, potty training routines, and their needs. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for cats as well. We currently have two cats, with opposite personalities so I understand the difference care and attention different cats need. Because I’ve spent so much time around animals, I’m comfortable recognizing their body language and routines. I can usually tell when a dog needs to go outside, wants to play, needs quiet time, or just wants company. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or just someone to care for them, I will treat them with the same attention and care that I give my own pets. I look forward to meeting you and animals I am currently a server. My schedule varies but is also very flexible so I can change it at any time to fit you and your animals needs! I have a fenced in yard, home of 3 huskies and 2 cats. All of my animals are very friendly and welcoming to new faces!
About: I grew up with animals, such as dogs, rabbits, and birds. I have a love for all pets, especially dogs. Different breeds and sizes. I did two years of a dog training club in 4-H and used the information with my dog. I currently have a full time job. I would be able to care for your pets in the evenings after 6:00 pm, as well as overnight if needed. I am available most weekends. I will treat your home with respect and integrity. Please leave a note with all expectations and I will follow them to the best of my ability.
About: I have taken care of many different dogs and cats for family and friends. I always had pets growing up and I currently have 3 dogs of my own. I’m currently working part-time teaching dance to the youth between 4-9pm. This leaves my whole morning/afternoon open. I do have weekend business trips here and there but most weekends are available. I have a fenced in yard and three friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have a crate for any dogs that need it. As well as extra leashes and harnesses for walks.
“We are so grateful to Alyssa for taking such good care of Sophie. We left her for the 1st time in 6 years, and Alyssa took wonderful care of her and kept us at ease every day with updates and pictures. Sophie isn't easy, and she is like our child, so trust me when I say that you can trust Alyssa with your fur baby. We will not hesitate to call Alyssa when we go anywhere again, and now we have the peace of mind to make future plans!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats since my sophomore year in high school! I’ve never had an issue with a pet and love being able to help :) I’m currently on my summer break so I would like my availability to be Monday- Friday and I can make exceptions on weekends for emergencies :) I have a fenced in yard but prefer to care for your pet in the comfort of your own home as I think that makes meeting and interacting with your pet much easier and comfortable!
“Michelle was awesome! She sent up pictures and updates multiple times and took great care of our 15 year old Aussiedoodle. She came to our home and everything was great when we came back. I will definitely book with Michelle again.”
“Rachel was great! She knows the trials of having a border collie puppy :) She took extra special care of our Orion. Sent extra cute pics throughout the day, walks an playtime. Sweet girl too.”
“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! ??”

FAQs for House Sitting - Allenton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Allenton on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 261 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Allenton. 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 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.
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 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 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.

- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 92% can help with daily exercise
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.
