“If i could give more than 5 stars I would! Taylor was incredible with my dog and a great communicator throughout the entire stay. The house looked untouched from when we left and I loved pulling up my camera notification from outside of Taylor greeting Winnie with the sweetest welcome! Winnie also enjoyed all the walks! Taylor will be our #1 choice always!! Thank you!!”
“Rowan 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.”
“Briana and Ben were great! It was a last minute booking so we had 1 meet and greet before the house sat for our 2 big dogs. One of our dogs is sometimes afraid of males, but he warmed right up to Ben instantly! They had great communication and sent photo updates during their stay. Our pups can’t wait for them to “babysit” again :)”
“I have 2 small dogs. I was gone for a long weekend and had her come in 3-4 times a day to let the dogs out, feed them and play with them. Bri was great with the dogs. They liked her from the 1st time she came for a meet and greet. I will defiantly use her again”
“Allie dog sat for us and we couldn’t have been happier. She stayed at our home and sent us pics throughout the visit. Although I want to keep her all to ourselves, we would highly recommend Allie. She was great and we will definitely reach out to her the next time we need an overnight. ?”
About: I've been helping care for my family's dog, Banjo, since we got him over 8 years ago and I've also watched over both cats and dogs for my family and friends over the years. I'm a huge animal lover and someday I'd like to foster animals so I'm hoping to get even more experience on here. No preference for cats/dogs, breed, size, age, or anything really. My schedule is pretty open right now, but of course the sooner you ask the more likely I'll be available. I'm flexible though so I'm willing to work any day or time. I will not only follow your instructions to the T, but I'll really try to bond with and make pet sitting a fun experience for your pets.
“Mariah gave us peace of mind the entire time we were away. She is very thorough and you could tell she genuinely cared for our two dogs in our absence. She offered to help in instances we wouldn’t have thought of. Not only that, but our entire trip was last minute and Mariah was up for the challenge. That alone says a lot. Thank you again!”
About: I have helped my daughter take care of her dog when she was on vacation multiple times. I really enjoy going on walks, so your dog will be pretty active. I currently work part-time on Saturday and Sunday, totaling 10 hours. I am free to help with any pet care needs, and will not be out of the house for too long. Pets aren’t just pets, they’re family. I will care for your pet the way you would and make sure they’re getting the love and attention they need!
About: Backed by an extensive educational background in animal care, I provide specialized, age-appropriate attention for dogs at every stage of life. As a practitioner of canine massage, I offer gentle, therapeutic support tailored to the comfort and mobility needs of senior dogs. Equally skilled in managing high-energy dynamics, I understand the developmental and behavioral requirements of active puppies, ensuring your pet receives expert care customized to their life stage. I currently work full time but would love to help out after 4pm I am open on the weekends anytime to be able to take care of your furry friends I recognize that every dog is unique, which is why I customize my approach to align precisely with your pet's specific routine, personality, and medical needs. I am fully committed to following your detailed instructions to ensure seamless, high-quality care and complete peace of mind.
“Abby was great with our Springer spaniel. She kept in touch with me regularly up to the time of the booking and made contact with me while we were out, which I was very appreciative of. We were visiting from out of town so we were pleased to have someone like Abby available to keep an eye on Zoe.”
“Bryanna took extra care with Jackson. We had lost his buddy on June 1 and this was the first time I had left him for more than a few hours. Jackson was happy and well cared for. I’m so happy with the care Bryanna provides.”
About: I have grown up with a Golden Retriever and previously owned a Siberian Husky. I have a lot of experience watching dogs through family members. During the week I currently work from home 7:30a-4:30p but have a fairly flexible job. On the weekends I have an extremely open schedule majority of the time. If you supply me with the information of how long they need to be walked, give me the leash and let me know if they have any food allergies (I always like to treat the pup after a good long walk) I’ll be all set to go.
“Chantelle 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!”
“Kylee took amazing care of my pup! She followed my rules exactly and left my home exactly how it was before. She was exactly on time for our meeting as well as the scheduled care time! My pup absolutely adores her and I definitely will be going back to her for future dog-sits!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 245 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Allenville. 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 Allenville 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 Allenville 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 Allenville 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.
