Bryan did a great job dog sitting Mikey. We had to cut our trip early due to the snow storm and Bryan was very flexible and took so much stress off our plate. Would highly recommend him to anyone planning a trip - especially dog owners like me who often stress about finding the right person for their pup!

Just booked Rachel for the second time to watch my dogs while I was away - she is fantastic! I really appreciate that she goes above and beyond while caring for my dogs. Lots of pupdates and pics to keep me in the loop as well. Super communicative. Will continue to book with Rachel in the future! Thanks again 😊

Sheryl was fantastic. She treated our dogs as her own—even though they are all eccentric in their own ways ? She was communicative, caring and just really kind. I feel very grateful to have found her to care for our dogs. I highly recommend her! ??

Tori was so amazing with my fur babies. I have a very large nervous dog and she was so patient with him letting him get to know her in his space. She took great care of my animals and my house while I was away on business travel. I would highly recommend her.

About: Hi! My name is Joe Mattimoe, I’m a reliable dog walker/sitter based in beautiful Wall Township. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and over the years I’ve gained experience walking, caring for, and connecting with dogs of every breed and personality. I also have some hands-on training experience through Wild Rover K9 Services in Point Pleasant, Where I gained practical skills in handling, basic obedience, and canine behavior—allowing me to provide calm, structured, and enjoyable walks tailored to each dog. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a gentle stroll, I offer reliable, caring service every time. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and truly passionate about dogs, I’d love to help! I make my own schedule each month and have flexibility since I am semi-retired. Once I book a dog service, my day/week/schedule revolves around that client. I have access to a fenced in yard a walk away from my home (mother-in-law) it is a good way to get another walk in and then play. I can crate, and follow owner’s directions. If your dog needs to sleep in the bed, they will. If they need to be crated or left to roam around, they will. We take care of a special needs dog who has a hard time jumping up to the bay window in our home. We take the first pillow of the couch, place it on the floor so he can jump up and get to it. We rearrange the entire living room for this little guy and he loves it. Just an example.

John was an excellent sitter for our two senior pups. Both of them get meds these days and he was very willing to take care of them and spent hours hanging out with them. It was clear they were well loved while we were gone. He always made sure to check in with photos and any questions and was always clear if the schedule for the day was ever a little altered due to his regular work schedule. (Not that it mattered much as our pups are very adaptable but it was nice knowing he thought through each day and how it would be laid out!) We definitely will be keeping him in mind for future times we need a sitter!

About: As a retired professional, I bring reliability, patience, and a calm presence to every walk. I’ve been a dog owner of two large breeds and one small breed. I have hands-on experience with doodle breeds and their unique personalities. I understand the importance of safety and health. I’ve cared for dogs with medical needs, so I’m comfortable with monitoring, medications, and giving extra attention when needed. Whether your dog loves a brisk walk, a gentle stroll, or some extra cuddles along the way, I treat every pup like family because that’s what they are. As a recently retired police officer, I currently work part-time so my hours are flexible and will have plenty of time for your fur babies. I will treat your home as if it were my own. I will safely walk your dog on leash, and can easily crate your dog, if need be.

Meg was absolutely wonderful with our pups! They loved her the moment they met her. She is definitely a dog person. Meg took pictures of the pups during walks and when they were lounging in the living room. They looked so relaxed and chill, not looking as if they were anxiously missing us. She was very diligent in her care for our pups. We have two senior dogs, and one has special needs and she handled them as a pro. We are looking forward to having her watch them again.

About: Hi there! My name is Kristin and I have a lifelong passion for all animals. Growing up on a horse farm, I was surrounded by various animals and always had cats and dogs as pets. Outside of having pets growing up, I have helped out friends and family members with dog, cat, and house sitting for them over the past 10+ years. I have experience with a variety of breeds, ranging from big breeds such as Pitbulls and Boxers to smaller breeds like Yorkies and Jack Russells. I care for all animals with all my heart and your pets will be in loving hands with me! I work full time in Monmouth county, so weekends would be ideal for me. However, if your pet doesn't need to go out as frequently, I can definitely help out during the week. I am typically out of the house between 10am-6pm, so I can play with/walk/feed them before or after those times. Weekends are totally open for me so I can do whatever your pet needs. In my client's home, I will follow their typical routine and do whatever they do to care for their pets. I always respect their home and make sure I leave it as clean as possible.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 25 years and have always had a deep love for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to giving you peace of mind by providing attentive, compassionate care and regular updates while you’re away. As a teacher, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to give pets the attention they deserve. During the school year, I’m available before and after school, on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. In the summer, my schedule is much more open, giving me extra time for walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it with frequent leashed walks, outdoor play, and lots of one-on-one attention. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions you provide. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

I could not have found a better dog sitter. Lisa was simply amazing. She went above and beyond to ensure. Cappy’s happiness, comfort, and well-being. She was compassionate and empathetic, not only towards Cappy, but to me as well, as I am a recent widow. You will not find a more kind or caring dog sitter. I highly recommend Lisa. I assure you, you will not be disappointed.

We asked Chelsea to watch our 2 cats and 2 dogs in our house due to our one dog having separation anxiety issues. Chelsea met with us prior to our vacation and met all our animals. She even came on a walk with the dogs, so she could see how they behaved. She did a great time and communicated with us during vacation to let us know our pets were doing well. She also sent pictures which we enjoyed so much. I highly recommend Chelsea for pet sitting!!!

I left for a work trip and after a few days with Rachel, I think my dogs forgot who I was. She entertained them, took them on adventures and gave them snuggles for days. I can’t thank you enough, Rachel!

Alexandria was the BEST! We have a very anxious tea cup Yorkie and she was so sweet and supportive of her needs. She asked many times what she can do to help keep her feeling calm and secure in our absence, and even contacted us through the day with updates. Would surely be using her again -HIGHLY recommended :)

FAQs for House Sitting - Allenwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Allenwood on Rover is $157.07 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 2,598 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Allenwood. 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 Allenwood 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 Allenwood 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 Allenwood 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 Allenwood. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
