“Ali is a delight! She took great care of my dog and my house while I was away. I could tell that my dog was very happy and had a great time on their daily walks. Ali is also able to handle special requests as my dog has some anxiety and needed some extra attention. She also was great at providing updates. Highly recommend Ali!”
“Kathy took excellent care of our 15 year old golden doodle and 10 year old cat, including giving our dog medications on schedule. She is very attentive to their needs and gave us lots of updates during our trip.”
“We cannot recommend Adam enough as a house/dog sitter. It is always so hard to find someone trustworthy enough to stay in our home and take care of our amazing boy. Adam was communicative, trustworthy, and reliable allowing for us to have a relaxing vacation knowing that our pup was safe. We have a 2 year old doberman who is not always the quickest to warm up to people, however he took to Adam quickly and truly enjoy his stay with him. In addition, the house was in excellent condition when we returned and Loki was happy and well exercised. Will absolutely book Adam again for future sitting opportunities and strongly recommend him to sit your pup.”
“If I could give Katy 10 stars, I would! I’m very particular about who I trust with my dogs, but she is officially a miracle worker. Not only were my dogs clearly pampered and happy, but she went totally above and beyond by cleaning my house, something I didn't even request! Coming home to happy pups and a clean home was the best gift ever. She is professional, kind, and clearly loves what she does. Do yourself a favor and hire her immediately. Already booked her for my next trip in May :)”
“Kathleen did a great job, as always, with my two girls! She's responsive, follows instructions, and I came home to two happy pets. Looking forward to her coming again in a couple of weeks!”
“Roxanne was great staying with my 2 dogs. Roxanne took very good care of them. They seemed to really like her. When we returned they were very happy. So sent updates and pictures. I really felt they were in good hands. Thanks!”
“Super chill guy, William was easy for my nervous girl to adapt to. He’s great with her and goes the extra mile with little things that matter. Thank you, Bill.”
“Faith was wonderful with our pup! She was very communicative, sent pictures, and kept Evie company whole we were out for late night plans. We will definitely book her again.”
“Amy was the best! She kept me updated throughout my trip. Sent lots of photos and videos. Gave my cat his medication on time and kept me well informed. I came back to a clean home and happy cats. Will rebook definitely”
“Jean is WONDERFUL. She watched my dog Didi for 7 hours while I was at a wedding. I was anxious, because this was the first time I had left Didi with a pet sitter, and we were out of state on top of it (I'm from VA). Jean was sweet with Didi and it was clear she had extensive experience - she was able to guide Didi, who has a lot of energy, with calm confidence from the moment they met. She sent me pictures and updates the entire time. When I came home, despite being in a foreign place with a stranger, Didi was so at peace and happy. I HIGHLY recommend Jean for anyone who wants calm, loving, safe care for their pet.”
“Oliva was punctual, communicative, and attentive to Leo's needs throughout the weekend! We would book Olivia again in a heartbeat — she made our anxious boy feel comfortable.”
“Nico was great with our dogs, Sammy and Hazel! He stayed at our house and sent daily updates. The dogs seemed happy when we returned home! He was also very responsive leading up to the trip. It’s great to be able to leave for a long weekend and not worry. I would recommend Nico!”
“Nicolle was fantastic. We were in a pinch for a sitter and she checked all the boxes and left our apartment just as we left it. Great pairing for our slightly anxious dog. Highly recommended!”
“Bahiyyah was great. She took such wonderful care of my puppy and older cat. She did an amazing job keeping up with the puppy and exercising her. I was able to enjoy my vacation without stressing about my girls. Highly recommend Bahiyyah if you're looking for a patient and kind sitter.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was a child. My family taught me to love, respect, and care for them because they are part of the family. I believe that, just like people, dogs need fresh air, exercise, and time outdoors to stay happy and healthy. I currently live in the United States as a nanny, and one of my favorite parts of my day is taking the family’s dog for walks. I love seeing her enjoy the outdoors, explore new places, and get the exercise she needs. For the past three years, starting when I lived in Colombia, my friends have trusted me to care for their pets whenever they traveled or needed someone reliable. I have experience walking dogs, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I am responsible, patient, and truly passionate about animals. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own. I currently work as a nanny, but I have plenty of free time during the day. I’m available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, which gives me plenty of time to provide relaxed walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures. I want every walk to be enjoyable and enriching for your dog, not just a quick trip outside. Every dog has a unique personality, so I like to get to know them and follow their pace. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, exploring different parks, and giving them a safe and fun opportunity to enjoy the outdoors because I truly believe regular walks are important for both their physical and emotional well-being. I also love taking photos during our walks and sending updates to pet parents, so you can see how much fun your dog is having and feel connected while you’re away. My goal is for your dog to come home happy, exercised, and excited for our next walk.
About: I’ve had a love for animals my whole life and especially a love for dogs, i grew up with dogs since i was 5 and was always the one responsible for taking care of them, including one of my dogs who became a senior dog and required lots and lots of care. I’ve also dog sat a few times for friends and relatives from puppies to dogs of old age so i do have experience with sitting. My personal dogs have passed away unfortunately and this is the first time living without a dog and has left something missing in my heart, so i would love to work with other dogs because they bring lots of joy to my life. I currently work a full-time job but i’m available at any time on my off days, Tuesdays and Fridays! If needed though don’t be afraid to reach out for other days because I can offer services on days I work anytime before 2pm. Potty breaks, doggy walks, food and water/treats, playing with them to keep them active and happy, I also have experience in grooming so I can absolutely provide dog bathes when needed!
About: Hi! I'm a life long dog owner, have had and been around dogs and cats my entire life, I was a foster dog parent for several years and looking to help those in need of dog care. In the past, I've fostered puppies, dogs with anxiety and senior dogs and adopted them out to loving homes. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, shapes and woofers, any medical issues and am willing to work with any behavioral situations that other may not be willing to. I currently have 2 black labs at my home so full-time overnight house sitting is difficult but willing to work with anyone in need. I am available weekdays and weekends with notice and open to reoccurring visits. I have 2 labs at home, so full-time overnight visits are difficult. I'm very much willing to do pre-visits before your time away to "warm up" for both your pets and me Over my life, I've had all sizes of dogs, garden-diggers, fence-jumpers, and all kinds of health issues to work with. Most any needs your pets have, I'm willing to work with you to support your pet/s. I'm comfortable with both large and small dogs and completely willing to work with you if your situation has anxiety or outward aggressive behavior. Personally, I'm a supporter of no-harm training, while some cases take longer, positive reinforcement in the long run benefits everyone.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Allgates is $55

I can’t recommend Jean enough! She truly went above and beyond while staying with Henry for a week and made me feel completely at ease knowing he was comfortable, safe, and so well cared for. She sent me tons of pictures, videos, and updates throughout the week, which I really appreciated. She was also there with Henry through a nor’easter, and when an unexpected fire alarm went off in my apartment complex, Jean handled everything incredibly well — she calmly grabbed the essentials, got Henry safely outside, and kept me updated the entire time. On top of taking such amazing care of Henry, she left my apartment super clean and was incredibly thoughtful and responsible throughout her stay. It was clear that Henry felt safe and comfortable with her, which means everything to me. I would absolutely trust Jean with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like their own!
Abby was fantastic, as always! She stayed at our house for 10 days with our two pups. She took both dogs on walks daily, administered medication, and expertly cleaned our hound dog’s gross ears! She went above and beyond by cuddling with both dogs at night and making their days feel as normal as possible :) Great communication throughout the stay. She took great care of our house. Very happy to have found a great sitter.
Kristina and her daughter were wonderful! They. Were very attentive and communicated through out their stay. I was very nervous leaving the dogs as usually they stay with family but Kristina put our worries at ease and everything went great! Would highly recommend!
Maggie was lovely. It turned out that she didn't actually stay with our dog because I had to cancel (since our dog was sick and I decided to stay home), but during the meet-and-greet I could tell that she was calm, comfortable, friendly, experienced, and responsible.
Dion was a wonderful pet sitter! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. My dog loved her immediately. She took excellent care of my pup (and bird) and I think my house was cleaner when I got home than when I left. She was communicative and sent lots of pics. I would give her 100 stars if I could.
Claudia was great. She stayed with our Westie over a long weekend when we were away. She has a lovely personality and was a pleasure to work with from the initial contact through a meet-and-greet and then the weekend. She was punctual, paid close attention to information about our dog's routine, asked good questions, and kept us informed. We returned to a tidy house and a happy pup. Highly recommend.
Morgan did a great job watching our puppy for a weekend! Juni can be nervous and fearful of new people, Morgan came for a meet and greet, learned about her routine and asked good questions. She was responsive when we reached out to check in, and Juni seems to have warmed up to her very quickly! We are so grateful to have found Morgan!
Kevin is an incredibly warm-hearted and caring person! We hired him to stay with our 10 year old dog and 6 year old cat in our home for 5 nights. Our dog is not an easy customer. She’s quite anxious and she generally distrusts all strangers, but Kevin was able to win over her heart and shower her with love and affection! He sent pictures and videos each day, and we were so comforted to know our pets were happy and thriving under his care and feeling safe in the familiar surroundings of their own home. Kevin took excellent care of our pets and the house, and we would absolutely hire him again in the future!
Yasmine is the best! I am very particular about my house and my dog, and I know I’m not super easy to deal with. But Yasmine followed every details. She took care of Milo with care and compassion. She sent pictures and updates. You won’t regret asking her to be with your fur babies!!!

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 Allgates 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 Allgates 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Allgates 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 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 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.
