Ashlee did an amazing job. She was thorough, communicative, and left our house exactly as it was when we left for vacation (maybe even cleaner than we left it!). We have an anxious dog and Ashlee did great with her. We would definitely hire her again.

About: I'm a certified veterinary technician with 15 years of experience in emergency medicine. As a vet tech my job is to be an advocate for my patients and this requires me to be compasionate and attentive to their needs. I also grew up in a household with dogs and cats and my whole family as animal lovers. I currently have a dog named Bernie who's unbelievably spoiled. I'm currently working part time at another job with 6 hour shifts typically 3pm-9pm which leaves plenty of time for petsitting and walks. Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Tuesdays I'm available all day. I'm a devoted animal lover and I know how stressful it can be for pets when their owner is away for a few days and want to make the experience as stress free as possible for both the pets as well as the owners.

About: Hi, I'm Sumeena! I provide dependable pet care and house sitting throughout the South Shore area, helping pets stay comfortable in their own home while their owners are away. I currently have extended availability this summer and am available for vacation stays, longer house sitting requests, and last-minute travel needs whenever possible. I currently have extended summer availability, making me a great option for vacations, longer trips, and house sitting stays. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable caring for both your pets and your home when you can't be there. I'm an Education Support Professional in a special education classroom, where patience, consistency, communication, and attention to detail are essential every day. I bring those same qualities to pet care by following routines carefully, noticing small changes, and providing calm, dependable support. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small animals for friends and family over many years. Growing up in a rural area also gave me experience around animals, including helping neighbors care for farm animals. When house sitting, I provide attentive care while respecting your home and keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. Care may include feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, litter box care, following detailed instructions, medication administration when needed, and regular photo and message updates. My goal is to provide trustworthy, compassionate care so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets and home are in good hands. I currently have availability for house sitting and vacation care from June 27–July 10, and again beginning August 11th through early September. During these periods, I’m able to dedicate my time and attention to providing consistent care, maintaining your pet’s routine, and giving regular updates while you’re away. When I’m available, I enjoy providing dependable companionship, walks, feeding, and home care while helping pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and adjust care to meet each pet’s individual needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine while also treating their home with respect. I understand that inviting someone into your home is a big responsibility, and I take that trust seriously. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, routines, and any special needs your pets may have. I pay close attention to behavior and changes in your pet’s comfort level so I can provide the best care possible. I will maintain a clean and secure environment, respect your space and belongings, and provide regular photo and message updates so you feel connected while you’re away. My goal is for you to return home knowing your pets were cared for and your home was respected. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, including shy pets who need patience and a calm approach. I focus on creating a safe, predictable, and positive experience for every pet I care for.

About: I have 3 dogs of my own, all with completely different personalities, so I’m used to adapting to each dog’s needs. One has total grandma energy and just wants a calm comfy day, another is super independent and honestly acts more like a cat, and my third dog is blind so I’m very attentive and patient with routines and safety. I do twice daily feedings, daily walks, beach walks, and trail runs for high energy dogs, but I’m also just as happy staying in and giving calm companionship to dogs that prefer to relax. I’m a college athlete home for the summer, so I can keep up with super active dogs, but I’m also basically a professional nap partner for the couch potato ones. As a college athlete home for the summer, I have a pretty active and flexible routine that revolves around caring for my own dogs and yours. Daily walks, feedings, outdoor time, and exercise are already part of my schedule, whether that’s beach walks, trail runs, or just hanging out at home with calmer dogs. I’m used to planning my days around pets’ routines and making sure they get consistent attention, activity, and care. I try to make pets feel as comfortable as possible by keeping them on the routine they already know. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walks, energy levels, and little things about their personality and behavior. Having a blind dog myself made me really attentive and patient, especially when it comes to safety and creating a calm environment. I also know from my own dogs how much pets can miss their people when they’re away, so I try to give them extra attention, comfort, and company so they feel less stressed and more at ease. I love taking active dogs on walks, beach trips, or trail runs, but I’m also completely fine hanging out with dogs that just want a chill day and someone to nap next to. I’m very aware on walks, careful around other dogs, and overall just try to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away.

About: I have been around all and taken care of all sizes, ages and temperaments of dogs for years!! They are the absolute best! As a dog mom myself I understand the difficulty of trusting and finding someone to take care of my pal if I’m not able to. I know how important it is to find the right person that will give them the loving care our dogs deserve! I can provide that peace of mind!!! I am an elementary school teacher with tons of scheduling flexibility and love taking care of dogs! Walking dogs and the excitement their energy brings is a daily must! I have a big back yard and one older and very friendly Blue Heeler. We love to sit outside any chance we get and go on multiple walks a day. I do have a runner for our yard if certain dogs enjoy running around too. I can easily crate your dog if that is something you are interested in. I have a nice open house that your dog can roam freely. Any additional specific instructions you may have I will follow!

Andrew is a great dog sitter. He was very accommodating when our previous dog sitter cancelled on us. He is easy to communicate with and is great with dogs. He stayed at our place for a week and watched our dog that doesn't really like new people while we were traveling. We came back home to a happy puppy, it was nice to know that she was well taken care of. Highly recommend.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, responsibility, and attention I bring to everything I do. As a rehabilitation aide and full-time college student, I am used to being dependable, detail-oriented, and attentive to individual needs. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing outside, or relaxing at home, I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family. That's why I prioritize communication, provide updates and photos, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is not just to watch your dog, but to make sure they are happy, loved, and well cared for while you're away. Dogs fit naturally into my daily routine. I work per diem as a rehabilitation aide and every other weekend as a café associate at South Shore Health, which gives me a flexible schedule. I am generally more available in the afternoons and evenings, making it easy for me to provide walks, playtime, companionship, and attentive care throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and any meals or medications according to their schedule. I also prioritize safety, comfort, and communication by providing regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is happy, well cared for, and treated like family while they're away.

Wow!!! How lucky are we to have found Allegra!!! She is AMAZING!! Allegra stayed with our dog, Koko, at our house for three weeks while we were away on vacation. Koko is a smart and gorgeous covid rescue who is still leery of strangers and remains fearful of being given away. She is very much attached at the hip … to just us … so we were worried about how she would do with a stranger. Flash forward, there was no need to worry! Allegra connected with Koko right away… which is no small feat! Allegra gained Koko’s trust in no time. Like us, she took Koko on varied daily adventures… to cranberry bogs, beaches and state parks. Bottom line is … Koko absolutely adores Allegra and I think the feeling is mutual! Allegra is kind, respectful, conscientious, and communicative. She sent us lots of pictures documenting how much fun she and Koko were having together. Plus, she took wonderful care of our home! We arrived home to a happy dog and an immaculate house! Allegra obviously takes pride in doing a great job and we are tickled pink that she kept up our daily routines with Koko. We will definitely request Allegra in the future. She will ALWAYS be our first choice!

About: I’ve cared for animals since a young age, mainly dogs and cats. I have a rescue dog of my own who I trained myself, as well as a senior cat with medical needs who is thriving. My neighbors trust me to care for their dogs with medical needs while they are away, and most recently, I started walking dogs during the day time and offering house visits while pet owners are away at work or vacationing. I love spending time outdoors and getting to know your pet and offering them the critical exercise and companionship they need to live a long healthy life! When my cat was young, we had the most wonderful cat sitter who was very in tune with animals and I said I wanted to start my own business one day like her. Well, here I am! I look forward to hearing from you to discuss your pet care needs. I enjoy walking dogs or making house visits during the week days when my children are at school (mornings, mid day, and early afternoon). I’m also available for evening and overnight visits in your home on a case by case basis. I’m looking to find clients who I can grow with and essentially become a part of the family. For now I’m offering care in your home or visits with your dog like walks, hikes, or play groups at an outdoor dog park. For overnight visits, I recommend visits 3 times in the day: once in the morning time for breakfast and a walk, once again in the afternoon, and then a night time visit as well before bedtime.

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 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 5,993 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:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
