V is amazing with all of our babies (1 dog and 3 cats), and gives them so much love and attention! They will definitely miss her! I love the updates, pictures and videos! It's a great feeling knowing they are in great care while you are away! We will be booking V again in the future!

Mara was fabulous with Wags. She paid close attention to what he needed and how he was doing. Communication with her was easy from booking through the visit. Will definitely use her again.

Josalynn was very patient with CoCo, who is a very frightened dog.she arrived promptly on time and stayed extra long when I couldn’t get home on time. She was great and I highly recommend her.

So very happy, pleased and excited with the wonderful job Samantha did while caring for our dog. Samantha communicated daily with updates, made certain that all medications were given as directed, and left our house in excellent shape despite the rain, muddy footprints, and shedding of our lab! My husband and I look forward to having Samantha take care of our dog in the future.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats, young and old, since 2019. I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s parented guinea pigs and parakeets as well. I pride myself on creating enriching experiences for the animals I sit through play and exercise. I’m a freelancer by trade and work for myself so I have open availability during both weekdays and weekends with limited notice needed to make myself available. I ask that pet owners provide any necessary supplies as I do not have them at home. I do live in a newer apartment complex with a fenced in playground for dogs to run around and lots of sidewalk space for walks.

About: I have been the go to in my family for watching animals. Everyone has different ways they live and our animals find comfort in routine. I have always done my best to meet them where they are and ensure their animals feel as comfortable as possible while the parents are away. I currently work full-time, so my availability is a bit thin. Overall I work approximately 10hrs a day. Which means I am only available early mornings and late evenings on work days. I have my own pets but my husband takes care of their needs while I'm not around. We aren't in a position to watch pets in our own home but outside of the time I need to work I am very flexible with my time. I do not offer boarding services. However, when taking care of another's pet before the service date(s) I gather as much info as I can. What is their routine? how much energy does your pet have? Etc. And I will do my best to accommodate. I try to take my own dogg out about every 2-4hrs and give her lots of love and attention. If yous animal has different needs from meds to high attention or even more frequent potty breaks I can work with those factors.

About: I grew up on a farm taking care of all kinds of animals! I took care of cows, horses, pigs, goats, chickens, quails, frogs, dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, hamsters and rats! I have always been a major animal lover and continue to be! I love spending time with my pets and for my friends and families pets too! I currently am remote Purchasing Associate for a national dermatology company. My shifts are usually about 5 hours long, which gives me lots of time to spend with the fur friends. I usually run my dog in the morning and evening, and spend time with her at the park and other places I go to. Sometimes Cardi, Boat and I just like to hang out in the yard and have a cup of coffee! I often take walks and go to the park and many other places. When I pet sit for my friends and family I work with what they have in their home. At my home I also have a long lead so they can safely play in the yard!

Brett was great with our dogs! We did a meet n greet the day before, and our dogs settled in with him fairly quickly when he came to house sit. He sent daily updates with pictures and videos, which was very much appreciated. We felt very comfortable knowing our dogs were so well taken care of while we were gone. We highly recommend Brett!

About: Dependable and attentive care with plenty of walks, play, cuddles. I am patient and experienced with shy pets, energetic puppies, and senior dogs alike. I also have experience with friendly or timid cats. I build my schedule around what each pet needs. I’m very flexible, and I’m able to adjust my availability depending on your timing — whether that means early mornings, evenings, or extended overnight stays. I take pride in being dependable, communicative, and easy to work with, and I treat both customer care and pet care as equally important. Making sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved is always my priority, and I’m happy to tailor my routine to match theirs so everything feels seamless for you. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping a safe, clean, and comfortable environment that feels consistent and reassuring for the pet. I follow the routines and instructions you provide closely, making sure feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications are handled exactly the way your pet is used to. I keep the space tidy, clean up after the pets right away, and always respect your home as if it were my own. I’m reliable, communicative, and easy to work with, and I make sure you always know how your pet is doing through updates, photos, and check‑ins. My goal is to give your pet attentive, loving care while giving you complete peace of mind.

About: I have years of experience pet and house sitting while traveling, with excellent reviews from all families I have worked with. I had a boxer dog for 12 years, unfortunately she passed last year, but I am experienced with bigger dogs and nervous breeds. I currently have two cats and know cat care and leash training for cats. I work from home mostly, so I bring my laptop and instrument to the space. Your pet will be with me most of the time or supervised. In your home i offer walks in nature and your neighborhood. At least 2 walks a day and at least 2 hours of outside time during their stay.

About: Growing up as a farm girl taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all personalities and sizes. I’m comfortable with high-energy pets, shy pets, senior animals, and multi-pet households. I also have experience caring for young animals, including bottle feeding kittens and providing extra attention to pets that need specialized care. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” pets — I pay attention to their routines, behaviors, and comfort so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I understand how important trust is when leaving your animals with someone else, so I provide dependable communication, photo updates, and personalized care for every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I adapt to their needs and make sure they receive attentive, reliable care every time. Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine alongside my multiple part-time jobs because I’ve learned how to stay organized, reliable, and flexible with my time. My schedule varies throughout the week, but I intentionally plan ahead so I can give each pet sitting visit my full attention and consistency. Because my jobs are part-time, I have built-in availability during mornings, evenings, and flexible gaps in the day that allow me to provide dependable check-ins, walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m used to balancing responsibilities, so I’m careful about only accepting bookings I can fully commit to without rushing or cutting corners. Pet sitting is something I genuinely prioritize in my routine — it’s not just extra work, it’s time I set aside to care for animals, give them attention, and make sure pet parents feel confident and updated while they’re away. I offer flexible care depending on what works best for you and what your pet is most comfortable with. In your home, I focus on keeping everything as familiar and stress-free as possible for your pet. I follow their normal routine for feeding, walks, litter box care, medication if needed, and playtime. I also make sure they get attention and companionship so they don’t feel lonely while you’re away. I respect your space, keep things clean and organized, and provide consistent updates so you always know how your pet is doing. If care takes place in my home, your pet will be in a calm, safe, and supervised environment where they receive the same level of attention and routine-based care. I make sure they have a comfortable space, regular outdoor breaks or playtime, and a low-stress setting that feels secure and welcoming. I limit distractions and other animals as needed so each pet gets proper individual care. In both settings, my goal is the same: to make your pet feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind that they’re in responsible hands.

About: Hi there! I’ve had pets my entire life and currently have a 6 year old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix, so I’m no stranger to high energy dogs that need structure, exercise, and plenty of mental stimulation. Through caring for my own dog and helping friends and family with theirs over the years, I’ve gained experience with everything from daily walks and feeding routines to enrichment, playtime, and providing extra patience for anxious or reactive pups. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. One of the perks of working freelance is having a flexible schedule! That means I can often accommodate daytime walks, drop-ins, and last-minute requests. I love spending time with animals, so getting to care for pets throughout my week is something I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I’ve been trusted by friends and mutual friends to care for both their homes and pets over the years, so I understand how important that trust is and don’t take it lightly. I treat every home with respect, provide regular updates, and strive to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.

About: My senior dog is 13+ years old now (I've had him since 2015) and whenever friends and family needed pet sitting/drop-in visits/walks they came to me, I have also owned a cat and am caring for a cat currently. I would like to start building up an actual professional client base/reputation if you're willing to give me a shot! I'm mostly available on the weekends for in-house pet sitting or otherwise. For weekdays, I work 8am-5pm M/T/Th/F, and 1pm-10pm on Wednesdays, so it's a bit more difficult unless you just need me to drop in or walk your pet :) I'll take care of your pets however you want me to, we have a very needy Bengal and my senior dog so I'm used to dealing with pets with extra needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Allison

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 348 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Allison. 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 Allison 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 Allison 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 Allison 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 Allison. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
