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.

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!

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!

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!

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! ??

About: Hi! My name is Jayla, and caring for animals is both my profession and my passion. I have over six years of pet sitting experience, nearly four years of hands-on experience working in a veterinary clinic, and I am currently in my second year of Veterinary Technician school. My veterinary background allows me to provide a level of care and attention that goes beyond traditional pet sitting. I am experienced with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, senior pets, anxious or fearful animals, and pets with medical needs. I am comfortable administering medications, including oral medications and injections, monitoring for signs of illness or discomfort, and following detailed care instructions to help maintain your pet’s routine. Working in a veterinary setting has taught me how important trust, patience, and individualized care are for every animal. Whether your pet loves playtime and adventure or prefers a calm and predictable routine, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind through regular updates, photos, and open communication throughout your pet’s stay or visit. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and treating them like my own! Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life—both personally and professionally. I work full-time as a veterinary assistant, so I spend my days caring for animals with compassion and attention to detail. While I am away for about 6-7 hours during the weekday, I schedule my pet care services around my work hours to provide reliable potty breaks, feedings, medication administration, and check-ins as needed. I’m also fully available on weekends, which allows for more flexible scheduling, longer visits, or extra playtime and attention when your pet needs it most. I currently only offer pet care services in the client’s home, where pets are most comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings. My priority is to keep their routine as consistent as possible, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and bedtime rituals. With my background as a veterinary assistant and over 4 years of pet sitting experience, I’m especially confident caring for senior pets and those who need a little extra attention. I have experience administering medications—including oral meds, injections, and topical treatments—on a schedule, and always monitor pets closely for any signs of discomfort or changes in behavior. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs, personality, and preferences so I can provide safe, loving, and personalized care. I also treat every client’s home with the utmost respect and professionalism.

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!

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 238 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Allenton. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
