“Kate did a great job taking care of my girls while we went on a weekend trip. I tend to worry when I leave my animals but the entire weekend I felt like they were in good hands. She gave me thorough updates and even checked to make sure we got home alright.”
“Phenomenal. Took wonderful care of my special needs dog, I had no concerns about his well being. And she went above and beyond caring for our home. She is defiently going to be a regular on our roster!”
About: Ive been around dogs a lot. I have 3 of my own. One named Hope. She’s more active, and needs alot of playtime. So I’m definitely good at managing that. One name is Oakley, he likes to be babied and cuddled. Ones name is Hank, and he is just the chillest dog haha. I already have dogs so I work 24/7 with my own. I have a lot of time on my hands so I’m free whenever. Anytime you just need a break I can come help, when you’re gone. I’ll do it. I give baths, I walk them, I play ball/fetch with them. I take them potty, feed them, give them treats. I do all the things it takes to take care of a dog, the same way you would treat a baby.
“Rebecca was amazing with our King. She knew his favorite was bananas and she shared those with him. Getting the daily updates with pictures was amazing. She was very thorough when we met and asked all kinds of great questions. We will definitely use her again. I know King is going to miss her.”
“Megan was wonderful with our two dogs and we would definitely use her services again! She sent pictures throughout her stay and kept us updated. We are confident that our dogs were much more comfortable and less anxious staying at home with Megan, than being boarded.”
About: As a proud owner of three lively Australian Cattle Dogs, I live and breathe dog energy every day. My passion for dogs (and cats too!) drives me to provide reliable walks, playtime, and check-ins that keep pets happy and healthy. With my own high-drive pack, I'm equipped to handle all breeds, sizes, and temperaments while ensuring lots of fun and exercise. Why Choose Me My home is a dog haven where my three Aussies thrive, so I know how to match routines and personalities. Expect updates with photos after every visit, plus a fenced yard (if applicable) and safe, loving care. Pet parents love my reliability and the wagging tails that follow! My schedule is very flexible. I schedule my own hours, so I am available when you need the right care for your pups to continue their routine! I provide all pet care services directly in your home for a stress-free experience. This includes energetic dog walks around familiar neighborhoods, drop-in check-ins with playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and medication administration right where your pets feel most comfortable. My approach with cats focuses on gentle interaction, litter maintenance, and cozy companionship without overwhelming them.
About: Experience with dog care especially with walking and boarding. I have also worked at a dog daycare center where I was able to know about pet hygiene and cleaning. I am working part time. I can work mostly on evenings and late afternoons during the week and a full schedule for weekends. I can also be flexible with my schedule as needed I make sure to have a clean apartment for the pets. I do not have a yard but we have an open space for pets to roam freely
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, growing up with large dogs and cats and developing a genuine love for their unique personalities. For the past four years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for coworkers, friends, and family, caring for pets with a wide range of needs and temperaments. I have experience with high-energy dogs, senior pets, and cats ranging from affectionate cuddle bugs to those who prefer their independence. As the owner of a diabetic cat, I’m comfortable administering insulin injections and following specialized care routines. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attention to detail when caring for pets, especially those with medical needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medications, sticking to a routine, or simply providing companionship, I take pride in making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I think I enjoy their company as much as they enjoy mine! I have a very open schedule. I no longer live in Tennessee, but I’m in town for the summer visiting family! I’ve got open availability! Open to last minute bookings and care! Lots of time and energy to give to your pet/s! I care for pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable, keeping their routines consistent and providing the love, attention, exercise, and care they need while their family is away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for, while giving you peace of mind that both your pet and home are in good hands.
“Madie was amazing. We had a last minute conflict with our dog sitter and she came to the rescue. It was our first time using someone who was not family watching her. She came to our house on Thanksgiving to do a meet and greet which greatly decreased our hesitation about using someone else to watch our fur baby. Madie went above and beyond what we could have asked for. She was professional and extremely kind. She cared for Stella as if she were her own. We will definitely be using her again! Cannot recommend her enough.”
About: I love animals of all kinds. I have had cats and dogs my whole life as well as help watch my neighbors pets while they are gone. Let me take great care of your pet while you're away! My schedule varies, sometimes I travel for work but when I am home I work from home so pet sitting is very flexible and easy for me. I can accomodate last minute bookings also. I have a large yard for pets to get excersice and I live in the country. My son is 12, very responsible and love pets, he is my little helper and would not only help take care of your baby but give them extra love!
About: I love my dog (10years; Hiro) and I will treat yours as my own. From 24/7 all around care and attention: Diet, exercise, interactive play, traveling included, bathing/grooming, and medical care. All injuries are researched and attended too with remedies at home and if required, vet visit. Vet visit only with consent, if required. Contact me as needed, messaging/pictures will be provided. Food, potty needs, bedding/crate is taken care of. Advised: if special needs food/allergy/attention, please bring what your animal needs with them, extra charges will apply (if I have to go to the store, I will have a receipt) Daily. Hiro follows me everywhere. Hiro is my own dog, he’s a golden retriever mix with Great Pyrenees, he’s picky about when he eats his own food. I expect your dog and or cat will be different and have its own personality. As for how your animal fits into my daily will depend on how it goes. Most animals love me, knock on wood. I will keep you posted the whole time. The first time I had Hiro boarded I requested a video. It’s understandable. Your pets are like children. Crate training and potty training provided, if needed. Will need dog paddings. I love my dog and I will love yours as my own, depending on what your dog needs, we can manage and arrange things.
About: I own several animals which include cats, dogs, and a leopard gecko. I love animals, and I am good with feeding on time, bathroom breaks on time, and I love to spend quality time with animals! I am good with puppy and kitten care as well. I am a house cleaner as well, so it tends to mix in with the pet care. I am consistently taking care of myself, my house, and my animals. I walk my dog every day, I feed all of my animals at the same time every day, I keep regular vet appointments, and all of my animals are up to date on their vaccines and spay/neutering.
About: I have experience with a variety of breeds of dogs. I have owned dogs that are super high maintenance, dogs that love to lounge, anxiety ridden dogs, and dogs that are on the spicy side. I understand the different cues of dogs and how to read their body language. I have experience in walking multiple dogs. I also have experience in training dogs. I trained my Shetland Sheepdog for 4H and we made it to the state fair. I also taught him many silly tricks. I can be a professional fetch player or a professional cuddler, whichever your dog prefers. I can also just be a treat giver if your dog prefers space. I am currently working part time as a server, but my schedule is very flexible. I am a recently graduated college student, with the hopes of going to graduate school in the coming semester. Animal trust is very important to me. It is important that I earn you and your animals trust, and we can grow to be best friends or acquaintances if your animal is not into that. I hope to make your time away from your animal as easy as possible.
About: Caring for animals is my passion, and I have been providing dedicated pet care for over 10 years. I prioritize the comfort and happiness of every pet, treating them as if they were my own, and ensuring a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine. I manage the needs of high-energy breeds with active play and outings, maintain a clean and secure environment, and am vigilant in observing any signs of distress or health changes. I am CPR and First Aid trained. In emergencies, I remain calm, follow pre-discussed plans, and always have emergency contact information readily available. Witnessing their unique personalities and helping shy pets feel comfortable brings me joy. My kindness and empathy make me a great fit for caring for your beloved companions. I would love to use my pet-sitting, walking, and grooming skills to care for your dogs and cats! Available any time or day. Date night, work, sleep, jus need a break I’m here to help with your pets and would love the opportunity. Fenced in yard, treats and food , safe and clean house, plenty of toys and treats and care and anything extra they may need. Thanks

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Allerton
I don't even know where to start with how excellent Kate has been. My husband had a partial nephrectomy in St Louis to remove his kidney cancer. We were supposed to be home after 1 one-night stay in the hospital, but his labs dipped too low, and the surgeon required him to stay another night for observation. I was scrambling to find another hotel room, talking to the rental car company, and trying to figure out what to do with the dogs. I was not only worried about my husband's well-being, but also the pups. Kate went above and beyond to ease my mind and offered to continue to care for our pups, even when she was not obligated to do so. One of our pups is a rescue and a bit skittish around new people, but Maggie was giving her hugs and kisses by the second day! I was so happy to see how well she did with the pups and how wonderful and understanding she was to me.

FAQs for House Sitting - Allerton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Allerton on Rover is $61.05 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 212 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Allerton. 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 Allerton 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 Allerton 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 Allerton 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 Allerton. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
