“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.”
“This was the first time we used Angela for 2 overnights for our doggie and cat. I had selected her based on her stellar reviews and validated references. She not only met but exceeded our expectations on all fronts. Very communicative -providing detailed descriptions of their adventures with pictures and texts. Extremely responsive. Took loving care of our pets and we didn’t need to worry at all. She took our doggie on trips to 2 different parks and around the hood. She followed our suggestions and even went above and beyond our expectations! Angela is thoughtful, caring, mature, responsible and truly loves animals. Both pets were well taken care of and we won’t hesitate to book with Angela again as I now can’t imagine having anyone else care for our furry family members!”
“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.”
“Kathy is professional, courteous and incredibly conscientious. She treated my dogs as if they were her own. They clearly loved her and were happier than they have ever been while I was away! I can't say enough good things about her!”
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: Hi! I'm Casey, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, including eight dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, and goats. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I've gained years of hands-on experience working with pets of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I also have experience caring for rescued animals, administering medications, and following specific feeding and care routines. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing outside, or simply relaxing and getting some extra attention, I'm happy to adjust my care to what makes them most comfortable. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine while making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I currently work full-time remotely, which gives me excellent flexibility throughout the day. This allows me to accommodate different schedules and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I'm available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I'm comfortable caring for multiple pets. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your animals. I'll treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident they're in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan visits around your pet’s routine and give them the time and attention they need. I follow your pet’s normal routine and your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I take time to build trust so your pet feels comfortable with me, and I’m careful about secure doors, gates, and leashes. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing.
“Joanna really was the best. We don’t often leave our 70 pound Jimmy at home (typically board at daycare) but wanted to try it out with Joanna and Henry! They had a ball and Jimmy was so happy when we returned . Joanna is a true professional- respectful and communicative. So grateful I met her and would absolutely recommend!”
About: I have experience walking dogs for regular families, as well as pet sitting both dogs and cats for extended periods of time. I’ve also had a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away! I currently work full-time, but that doesn’t stop me from giving your pets the care and attention they deserve! I’m an early riser who loves starting my mornings with a walk, so I would be more than happy to stop by before work to take care of your pet. I also often have hour-long lunch breaks, which I’m more than willing to use to check in on your pets and give them some extra love and attention. I typically finish work around 3:30–4:00 PM (and around 3:00 PM on Fridays), leaving my evenings open for additional visits or walks. On weekends, I am fully available and happy to accommodate all your pet care needs! :) Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority, and when caring for them in your home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine to make sure they remain stress-free and happy! I make sure to follow all care instructions closely, and I remain very attentive during walks and visits to ensure a safe environment for both me and your pet! Alongside this, I also respect your home as if it were my own by keeping things clean, secure, and organized.
“Jacob was AMAZING with our four...challenging pets (two cats, two dogs). His communication with us was clear and consistent throughout our entire trip, he followed all of our instructions exactly as we asked, and our animals (and house!) were all well taken care of. I can't recommend Jacob enough!”
“Hannah was awesome! She was able to accommodate a last minute booking, including setting up a meet and greet in advance of my departure. During the weekend she gave cute updates and pictures, most of which included my needy pug happily curled up in her lap. Very appreciative!”
About: I have always felt a special connection with animals and grown up my whole life in a pet household. I have always had cats and small pets but it wasn’t until 5 years ago I finally got my own dog. We rescued him from a traumatic past so he had a lot of anxiety and fear. It taught me so much about caring for a more special needs pet that provided me with more patience, discipline and understanding for animals. I also have an adult cat and these two animals collectively make me so happy. These experiences have led me to want to give back in some way as a pet caregiver! I promise to give your fur babies the best care and love possible and to leave your home as if it were my own! I work shifts as a nurse but have my weekends and nights and a week day free! This schedule while my work days are busy allows me ample time off to care for your pets. Knowing any specifics about your pets such as routine, feeding, potty schedule, medications, personalities, etc is helpful in knowing how to provide the best care possible for them. Whether it is a drop in visit or going on a walk I promise to leave your pet more enriched and fulfilled after the visit than before!
About: Hey everyone! My name is Michael and I am a nursing student in the Philadelphia area/suburb area that is just looking for flexible part time work. I have cared for several dogs of ranging from puppies to large dogs! I am new to cats but open to helping in any way I can, also in the process of adopting my own! I am very new to this app, just doing my best to stay afloat while studying for school! I finished school after 2:30 most days, so preferably after that time I’m available for any service! I am currently free weekends. I can be flexible if there needs to be an overnight stay with a dog as long as I have some notice! Of course, walks and time to play are a necessity for dogs! I can also provide baths for dogs if need be for the owners.
“Ashley is gentle and calm with my Kenji. He’s still settling into his forever home and it’s wonderful knowing I can leave the house for a bit while he’s relaxing and well cared for.”
“Elena was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my pup Duke! She was communicative, easy to work with, and made leaving Duke home just a little bit easier. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is interested!”
“Absolutely amazing and reliable dog sitter!! She kept my Sasha very happy and sent plenty of photos keeping me updated. She also left my apartment spotless and went above and beyond. Would definitely use again.”
“Kevin and his family have watched our pup several times. He is always great at communication and sending photos. He has been very flexible when our travel details were not clear and we always return to a clean house and a happy dog!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Allgates is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Allgates
Jean is a dream and a God-send. My husband and I haven’t ever left our pup with anyone other than friends or family- and needed to get away for a few days. From the moment we had our meet and greet with Jean, we felt comfortable that she was ‘the one’. She texted us updates and pics… and even left our house cleaner than we left it! She’s capable, responsible, listens to your special needs and is just one of the best humans we could ask for.
Highly recommended! Great communication. Very responsible with detailed instructions and strict medical concerns, prompt responses, and updates. I can tell by my dogs behavior upon returning he felt safe and comfortable with adequate playtime and potty breaks! I will continue to re book :-)
not my first rover experience but the first as a homeowner which added a layer of trust needed on top of care for 2 senior dogs. olivia was wonderful and attentive to all the directions we left and took great care of both boys even with all their quirks. before leaving on the last day she went above and beyond to help secure the house during a nor'easter which was much appreciated. my only "feedback" is i hope she knows there's no such thing as TOO much puppy content when sending updates to crazy dog moms
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.
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!
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!!!

The average cost of House Sitting in Allgates is $80 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $83 per night.

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.
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 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 , 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.
