“Mariah was great! She communicated well, sent pictures, and enjoyed spending time with the pets. They looked well taken care of and the house was left clean. Would book again!”
“Shannon took excellent care of my cat - treated him as her own. She even paid close attention to my cat's health and was very prompt about informing me. I wholeheartedly recommend you reach out to Shannon to look after your own pet!”
“Mike was absolutely wonderful. He watched our pups in our home and I felt safe and stress free. My dogs were in such great care. They loved him... maybe a little too much! I would definitely book with him again.”
About: Hello, my name is Nick and I’m a life-long dog owner (22 years) and serial animal shelter volunteer. As someone who is going through the process returning to higher education later in life, I find myself in the peculiar place of not being able to have my own little companion! So here I am on Rover 😁 Recently, I have been involved as a puppy socialisation teacher, big dog play group facilitator, dog enrichment programming, cat socialisation and shelter medicine associate roles with the San Francisco SPCA. I have training in handling both shy / fearful and jumpy, mouthy and energetic animals. I’ve had the privilege of working closely with some highly knowledgeable animal behaviour specialists, shelter medicine staff and all-round-animal lovers, who have instructed me in the power of positive behavioural approaches to animal training. In short - you can rest easy knowing that your little fur baby will be in the hands of a knowledgeable, well-trained and compassionate animal lover who is always trying to increase positive animal behaviours while developing a loving and supportive bond! My full-time job is a sports coach / fitness trainer so I’m relatively flexible during the day and required for 3 hours in the evenings to coach training sessions in person. I believe that consistency is key when it comes to quality pet care. Your animals will be used to you, your care routine and approach to care generally so I do my best to align with myself to this. That being said, I’ve been trained in a fear-free approach which aims to reduce fear, stress and anxiety by becoming aware of each animals unique disposition and subsequent triggers/stressors, removing/altering the animals immediate environment to curb any negative effects and lastly using mindful handling techniques that cater to the animals specific needs. Simply put - I’ll make sure your doggies will be happy pups whilst you’re away!
“This is the second time I have hired Cynthia and she did an excellent job once again. My senior dog was well taken care of. Furthermore, she stayed overnight at my home for the visits and left my house clean and tidy. Thank you again Cynthia.”
“Patrick did an outstanding job caring for our dog and home. He was attentive, responsible, and kept us well-informed with great communication throughout. Our dog was clearly well cared for, and we returned to a spotless house. We would not hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to others.”
“Leighton was amazing! She took great care of Sarge - I got sent lots of pictures and updates. She even drew me a very sweet portrait of him! She was also a great house guest - I will absolutely be calling her again!”
About: When it comes to pet sitting, my extensive experience and deep love for dogs truly set me apart. I've been around dogs since I was a baby and have been taking care of them for over 15 years. This lifelong familiarity with dogs has given me a strong understanding of their needs and behaviors. In addition to my experience, I have special skills in both training puppies and providing care for senior dogs. I am well-versed in the unique requirements of each life stage, ensuring that your pet receives the appropriate attention and care. Currently, I have a 1.5-year-old sweet Bernedoodle who is well-socialized and loves both cats and dogs. This personal experience further enhances my ability to provide a loving and comfortable environment for your pets. Whether it's playtime, training, or senior care, I am dedicated to offering the best possible care for your furry family members. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day starts with dedicated time for feeding, walking, and playing with my dog, ensuring they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need. Throughout the day, I incorporate short training sessions and regular bathroom breaks to maintain a structured schedule. In addition to daily care, my weekly routine includes more extensive activities such as grooming, longer outdoor adventures, and socialization opportunities with other pets. I make sure to set aside time for veterinary visits and any necessary health check-ups. Having a consistent routine not only keeps my own dog happy and healthy but also ensures that I am always prepared to provide top-notch care for other pets as well. My experience with my Bernedoodle has taught me the importance of maintaining a balanced and enriching routine, which I apply to all the pets I care for. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment where they feel comfortable and loved. My home is pet-friendly, with plenty of space for them to play and relax. I ensure that each pet has their own designated area with their bed, toys, and food/water bowls. Regular walks, playtime, and training sessions are part of the daily routine, along with lots of affection and attention. I also keep a close eye on their health and well-being, making sure they are happy and stress-free. When providing care in a client’s home, I strive to maintain the pet’s usual routine to minimize any disruption. I follow the feeding schedule, walk times, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I spend quality time with the pets, ensuring they get enough exercise, play, and companionship. I am also attentive to the home's security and cleanliness, treating it with the utmost respect. Whether it's administering medication, handling special dietary needs, or providing extra cuddles, I make sure every pet receives personalized and loving care.
About: I have tons of experience with larger and smaller dogs! My parents have a 6 year old black lab that I watch regularly when they go out of town, and I watch my friend’s shorkie regularly as well! I would love to get to know your furry best friends! I am currently working part-time, so I have more time on my hands to spend with your cute pets! I am happy to work my schedule with yours to find the best arrangement! I am willing to follow any routine necessary to keep your animals comfortable! Whether that’s special food requirements or just a cuddle before they go to bed!
“Kacy was wonderful! Birch absolutely loves her and he was very, very well cared for. Kacy was extremely good with communication. She shared many pictures and ‘Birch stories” with us during her stay which was much appreciated. Kacy went above and beyond to help with something non-Birch related while we were gone as well. When we returned, we couldn’t even tell that she had been here, everything was exactly as we had left it! We will definitely be checking her availability the next time we travel!”
“This was our first time traveling without our dog and Katelyn made the experience so much less stressful! She stayed in our home, gave updates with pictures and took such good care of our dog! We are grateful!”
“Megan was absolutely fantastic while staying in my home caring for Bennie. She went above and beyond to ensure Bennie was comfortable and happy. Great communication with me and overall an extremely kind and restful person towards my home, my baby 🐶 and myself. I can’t say enough great things about Megan!”
“Lyla went above and beyond for our two dogs (mini poodle and pitbull mix) while we were away for a long weekend. She came to meet them a few days before we left and took them on a walk so they could acclimate to her. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, took them on two walks per day, did tricks with them, and kept them safe and entertained the whole weekend. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!!”
“Mary and Shane were fantastic! We went overseas and they sat for my senior dog and my puppy. Came home to a puppy completely house trained. They sent us photos everyday and kept us completely informed.”
About: I ran a small independent animal rescue for many years and have trained and had dogs and cats my entire adult life. My expertise is big bully breed dogs and senior animal care but I’ve cared for many types of dog and cats. I no longer have pets of my own, I’d sure love to spend some time with yours. I am self-employed and work remotely, I can bring my job with me wherever I go. I have no set schedule so I can easily adapt the needs of your pets. I have extensive experience with senior and aging dogs/cats. I am very good at keeping a calm commanding presence. Proficient in crate training, potty clean-ups, feeding and preparing meals, and basic hygiene and grooming. I adore animals and caring for them.
About: Can commute anywhere! I grew up with a cat, continue to foster kitties, and have watched a big lab for half a year nearly full time while babysitting at the same time. I loved having the dog around and walking him as well. I have a genuine love for dogs of all kinds and it would be a treat to watch yours! I’m a student with a lighter schedule this year. With planning and advanced notice I can accommodate my schedule to fit in care for your pet. My place is perfect for small-medium dogs, and we have a backyard as well as a good neighborhood to walk through. I can do my best to fulfill what you ask of for your pet! I currently have no pet at home so don’t have to worry about your pet getting along with other animals.
“Autumn and Addie did a great job with Mack and Aries, staying with them at my house for an extended weekend. I never have to worry about my huskies when they are at my home with them.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Allison Park
Wonderful experience with Ashley! Sasha was well-fed, walked, and played with, and our cats, Midnight and Jaguar, were perfectly cared for. It was a huge relief knowing Ashley was there to handle Midnight’s daily medications without any issues. It is a massive weight off our shoulders to find someone so responsible and attentive. We would highly recommend Ashley to anyone in the area!
Ava was so great and took such good care of our pup! She was very communicative, shared pictures and kept us updated. We felt comfortable with Ava staying in our home, and that our pup would be well looked after. We'll definitely look to Ava for future stays and sitting! Thank you Ava!

The average cost of House Sitting in Allison Park is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $94 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 Allison Park 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 Park 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 Park 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.

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.
