About: I have about 4 years of hands-on pet care experience with both dogs and cats. Iâve cared for dogs for family members, including regularly dog sitting for my sister, and Iâve provided cat sitting for family friends. I also have experience training and caring for my sisterâs Golden Retriever puppy, including helping with basic training, routines, playtime, and supervision. Iâm comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, and I treat every pet with patience, attention, and genuine care. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while youâre away. Iâm currently a high school student with school from 7:00 AM to 2:25 PM on weekdays. Iâm available for pet care after school, during evenings, and throughout the weekends. Iâm also available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I can work with different schedules when given advance notice. Iâm reliable, flexible, and happy to keep pet parents updated with photos and messages while caring for their pets. Your petâs safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each petâs routine and any instructions provided by their owner, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and other specific needs. Iâm attentive to petsâ behavior and make sure they are supervised and cared for in a calm, comfortable environment. Iâll also communicate with you throughout the booking and provide updates so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.
âI cannot say enough how appreciative I am of Emma. She took such great care of my senior dog this past weekend. Sparky has a very specific schedule and she listened to every detail and didnât skip a beat with him. She was incredibly responsive and sent me cute updates about their day. I felt so much better leaving him knowing she was there. Sparky and I thank you so much!â

âMichael had been wonderful and he has helped us out with our two dogs several times. He communicates well and my dogs have been so happy having him stay with them while we are gone. Would recommend him to take care of your pets.â
About: I have been a pet owner for almost my entire life. I have had many cats growing up and have tons of dog experience as well, from my own to friends, familyâs and neighbors over the years. I feel that fur babies are an essential part to a persons life and I will take care of your fur babies just as I would want someone to care for mine. They are a huge part of my life and I enjoy spoiling my babies and would love to spoil yours as well. I am available most weekdays after 2-4:30pm and very flexible on weekends. I will always make sure my weekly schedule will never interfere with any fur babies routines. When it comes to my clients fur babies, I would personally make sure their routine is followed with consistence and care. Special needs and requirements are handled with extra care.
âChantelle did a fantastic job and is extremely nice! Dogs were very happy when we saw them and she ensure the doors were locked and the key was where we agreed. I would definitely recommend her!â


About: Iâve grown up with dogs of many temperaments, so caring for them has come naturally since I was young. Iâve helped friends and neighbors with their dogs, from playful puppies to the most anxious worriers and senior companions, prioritizing the mental and physical well-being of each one. Iâm comfortable giving oral medications and happy to learn injections with guidance. I also work at a doggie daycare and love the work. Iâm available most Fridays to Sundays, with flexible mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I enjoy keeping pets on regular routines and caring for them helps me stay active, spend time outdoors, and maintain a consistent daily schedule. I make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable by closely supervising them, keeping their environment clean and secure, and paying attention to their individual needs and routines. I handle all pets with patience and care, whether in my home or yours, and prioritize trust, consistency, and a calm, pet-friendly environment.
âThank you so much for watching Bowey! We truly appreciate you taking such good care of him! Also it was super helpful when our trip got extended and you were able to watch him a few extra days! We will definitely be in touch for future stays!â

About: As far as experience goes there isnât a time in my life I remember that I wasnât caring for an animal. From reptiles, to rodents, to cats and dogs, Iâve had them all. From a young age I was taught responsibility and discipline when it came to caring for tiny creatures. Additionally for over two years I volunteered weekly at a local animal shelter. During this time I gained knowledge as to how animals interacted with one another, how to properly administer medication, warning signs to look out for, what to do in emergencies, and deeply studied animal behavior. To add on to that I am currently employed at a doggie daycare. During my time here not only have I gotten to widen my horizons when it came to taking care of animals but I have learned hands on how to bandage a wound, what to do in animal confrontations as well as how to handle the unexpected such as sickness or seizures. Additionally over the last 3 years I have volunteered at different animal welfare programs across the globe. These include Portugal, Puerto Rico, Tanzania and soon Hawaii. During this time I have not only seen hands on other cultures way of taking care of animals but also gained knowledge as to how to better the animal care I provide to clients. As I previously stated I currently am employed at a doggie daycare. Additionally I work at a bakery as well. My schedule changes weekly so it can be hard to give an exact time frame when booking. Typically I work up to 8 hour shifts. I typically prefer to stay in clients homes to keep their pets safe and happy in their own environment. I will be there in the morning before work, and will immediately come back when I get off as well as being there at night. I try to spend as much time as possible with the pets while you are away I typically only offer staying in the clients home and I am comfortable crating animals while gone. I always keep things like medications safely out of reach and secured. Additionally upon booking I typically ask about any health notes, allergies, or special needs as well as a good contact number for your vet in case of emergency.

âWe have a 4 year old terrier mix, a Dachshund and an Boxer who are both 8, and a 12-year old Chihuahua-Dachshund mix who is very nervous and afraid of just about everyone but myself and my husband. We've not been comfortable boarding them for a few years now, so have not really been able to go away overnight unless a close friend or family member was available to sit with them. That's all changed now, thanks to Jeremy! A friend had recommended Rover.com, so we read through hundreds of reviews for dozens of sitters, and Jeremy sounded like the best fit. We booked a couple of house visits and then an overnight house-sitting. He was great in general, and absolutely amazing with our little frightened girl. He was so patient and made extra effort to make her feel comfortable around him, and in no time she had warmed to him more than she has with most of the family members she's had contact with for years! Jeremy sent frequent texts and photos while we were away so we could see just how they were all getting along. We were comfortable we'd left our babies in good hands, and were actually able to relax and enjoy our time away. We will definitely be booking with Jeremy again in the future! Thank you, Jeremy!â

âKirstin watched our dog on short notice after another sitter had to cancel. She was so great! Our dog was recovering from being sick and Kirstin kept us updated and our dog taken care of. Piper enjoyed herself all weekend and Kirstin took great care of the house as well. We wonât hesitate to have Kirstin sit for us again in the future!â

About: Hi! We're Ben and Jen, a dedicated pet-sitting duo with a lifelong love of animals and years of hands-on experience caring for them. While we've been house and pet sitting full-time for over a year, our experience with animals runs much deeper. Much of our time is spent caring for the homes and beloved pets of our wonderful recurring clients, but every now and then, we enjoy a change of pace and the opportunity to meet new furry friends! Along the way, we've built lasting friendships with pet owners and consistently earned 5-star reviews from happy clients. Unlike occasional sitters, this is our everyday life! We're comfortable with different breeds, personalities, routines, and household needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, companionship, or simply having someone nearby, we adapt to what makes them happiest. We especially enjoy longer stays because they give us time to really get to know each pet and help them feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. We travel with our two well-trained service dogs, Toto and Little Guy, who are accustomed to life on the road and meeting new friends. We always discuss introductions and compatibility beforehand. We treat every home with respect and every pet with the same love and attention we'd want for our own. We'd love to meet you and your furry family members! Currently a full time law student online and am flexible with my time and availability. As we have cared for a wide variety of animals we are flexible in creating a daily plan that fits your needs We have full discussion with every pet family what their expectations are, the pets habits and daily routine and any other concerns that should be addressed. Every family is different and so is every pet!

âHannah was absolutely wonderful! She took such amazing care of my pets and my home, and I truly couldnât have asked for a better experience. The little pet âreport cardsâ were such a thoughtful and personal touch that made me smile! It was clear how much care and attention she gave them. Most importantly, I had complete peace of mind knowing my pets were safe, happy, and in loving hands while I was away. That kind of reassurance is priceless. I would wholeheartedly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their furry family members! â¤ď¸â


âRowan stayed with our blue heeler in our home for 6 days and was great with her. He was very patient and tolerant of her quirky habits. He took her for walks, car rides, played with her a lot and sent me many pictures. Rowan is very dependable and responds quickly to texts and asks questions if necessary. Thanks Rowan! Loved that you gave Terra your full attention while you were here.â

âLiz was wonderful with my cats and dog. She took great care of them. Her communication about how they were doing was detailed so we knew they were doing well and in great hands.â

âWe hired Alex for our two very anxious rescue dogs who had never spent time away from our family. We were asking a 5-day trip, and Alex was just terrific! She werenât above and beyond our greatest expectations! She sent pictures and videos, she played, walked, cared for and enriched the lives of our two pups. Coming home they were excited to see us, but you could see they had been loved while we were away. That is probably the best compliment we could give Alex! She really loves your pet the way you want them to be, when you arenât able!â

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 516 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 sitterâs 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 homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Allenton. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
