“This was the first time I had used Rover. I had selected Erin due to her stellar reviews. I was pleased to see that it was all true. Erin was amazing with Louie she did a great job at easing my mind by keeping me abreast of their activities throughout the day and flooded me with pictures. I really appreciated her.”
“Kayleigh was so great with my dogs and she went above and beyond to care for my senior dog. Communication was top notch and she kept me updated about everything. She’s great and we can’t wait to see her again.”
“Absolutely thrilled with the care our pup received! She went above and beyond, following every detail of our instructions perfectly and keeping us updated just the right amount, which really put our minds at ease. You can tell she’s a true professional—her experience shines through in every aspect of her approach. Our dog was clearly in great hands, and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!”
About: I’m Emily! A little about me: I love to run, lift, paint, and read. I am currently a student at the University of Pittsburgh studying Speech Pathology and Audiology who’s home for the summer! I've been a pet owner myself for about 5 years now. My family currently has three cats and has had a dog and another cat in the past. Within the last seven years I have dog and cat sat for a lot of my extended family and friends. I'm currently on the hunt for a part-time job for the summer, so I have plenty of time on my hands to look after and care for pets. I also have my own car and am hanging out with friends a lot, so I am always around. I am very diligent with making sure doors and windows are shut and locked to ensure that your pets do not go in or out (if they're indoor pets/ not on a leash) as I have to do that with my own pets! I also realize as it grows hotter, animals become dehydrated and hot as well, and I am careful to make sure water bowls are filled, and there is water during walks as well.
“Jessica took wonderful care of our dog Roxie and cat Whiskers. Our fur babies were happy upon our return from a long weekend and our home was in good order. Jessica's communication throughout was excellent.”
“Nancy was absolutely amazing!! She spent quality time with Millie and kept me posted throughout the sitting on how Millie was doing. She went above and beyond to accommodate our sitting needs and last minute booking. I was able to enjoy my trip with absolutely no worries!!! 🥰 Millie and I have definitely made a great friend and will ask Nancy to care for Millie many more times!! Thank you so much for loving our Millie as much as we do !! 💞”
About: I have over ten years of animal care experience. From senior dogs and cats to puppies and kittens, I am patient, responsible, and fun. I would love to give your fur baby some love and appreciate your trust in me. I am free on all weekends and holidays. I do work an 8 hour shift monday through friday, 6:45am to 3:15pm. I walk daily so having a companion with me fits in perfectly. I have a fenced in backyard and a very friendly cat. I go on daily walks myself so having a fur companion with me would be something I would love!
“Mayah did an excellent job caring for our 2 dogs (one a senior on medication and the other a puppy) in our home. She was very responsive and was great at sending us updates as to how everything was going. Not once did I worry about the pets while we were away and as everyone knows, that is a huge relief when traveling. She even kept us up to date that we had a fruit fly problem brewing so we could send traps to the house while she was there. We will absolutely be using Mayah again when the need arises. If you are looking for a calm, responsible, and communicative sitter you should book Mayah.”
“Brady had a great time with Gia. She left the house nice and clean. She also let us know how he was doing all week. Would definitely have her come and watch Brady again. It was a great experience.”
“Alana was wonderful with Bentley! We received constant updates and photos. It was our first time leaving him so we were somewhat nervous but she was reassuring the entire time. Extremely grateful we chose her through Rover. As a side note there were 2 days that she disclosed she was not available. I sent messages to other sitters through Rover and not one of the 4 replied. Again Alana was wonderful but not sure of the validity of others”
“Taylor is a wonderful dog sitter who took excellent care of our furry babies! Right off the bat when we first met her we got an Excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our dogs! When we came home after our weekend away our dogs were relaxed and happy.”
“Natalie was AWESOME with Grey! She came to meet him a few times, before she stayed with him, to insure he was comfortable with her. She was very good with Grey. She played with him more than we do, I am sure. She sent us pictures and videos multiple times a day. She contacted me if something arose that I had not mentioned or explained about his idiosyncrasies. He loves her, and so do we. We were concerned that he would want to go with her, when she left / went home from the stay!! That is how much she did for him.”
About: I have taken care of animals and pets since I was young. Growing up, we had puppies, dogs, cats, rabbits and chickens. With my children we had guinea pigs, hamsters, and cats. I currently work full time but I have a full hour for lunch to stop by and care for your pets. I can do drop ins or stay at your house, whatever is needed to make sure your pet is safe and loved. I have two cats at my house. They are well loved and follow me everywhere. I make sure they have nutritious food and clean water always. I have helped with dogs, making sure they are safe when out walking. I make sure they are given the right amounts of food and always have water. As a pet lover, I want to give them companionship, love, and security while their "parents" are away.
“Lauren took amazing care of my pets and always kept me updated! Loved receiving photos of my babies while I was gone. She truly listened to me about their little quirks, medications, and what works best for them while we are gone and really followed through! Super easy to talk to and get a hold of! Would 100% refer and will be booking again”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Allen
I truly can't express how lucky and grateful we are to have found Laurwn. As pet parents, leaving Maple and Hemlock behind when we travel is one of the hardest parts of being away, but she has given us something priceless, complete peace of mind. The biggest testament to how wonderful she is isn't even what we think of her, it's how much Maple and Hemlock love her. They are genuinely excited to see her, comfortable with her, and completely trust her. As dog owners, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your pups aren't just being cared for, but are being loved. It's obvious that she treats them like family, and they adore her right back. She is incredibly responsible, dependable, and always goes above and beyond. During our recent vacation, she was faced with an unexpected situation when our front door wouldn't open. While it was undoubtedly a stressful circumstance, she handled it thoughtfully and responsibly, communicated with us every step of the way, and did what was best for Maple and Hemlock. We were so impressed by her judgment, resourcefulness, and dedication in a situation that no one could have anticipated. Finding someone you trust with your pets is rare. Finding someone your pets love as much as you do is even rarer. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Maple and Hemlock would probably give her ten stars if they could!
Nancy was absolutely amazing!! She spent quality time with Millie and kept me posted throughout the sitting on how Millie was doing. She went above and beyond to accommodate our sitting needs and last minute booking. I was able to enjoy my trip with absolutely no worries!!! 🥰 Millie and I have definitely made a great friend and will ask Nancy to care for Millie many more times!! Thank you so much for loving our Millie as much as we do !! 💞
Beatriz and Hayden were wonderful with our 14.5 y/o goldendoodle while we were away. They housesat so that Shiloh could be most comfortable in his surroundings. I really appreciated the notes, pictures, and videos that they sent throughout the week. They were comfortable directing Shiloh on the ramp that gets him in and out of the house and did well getting him all of his medicines morning, noon, and night! The house looked perfect when we returned. Great experience all around; I would highly recommend Beatriz and Hayden as house sitters! Shiloh was in great hands! Thank you!
Maddy is amazing! We knew right away that she truly cares about animals and making sure our Girls would have a wonderful day. Three girls .. three personalities! Everything went perfectly! Excellent communication and awesome pics! We have to plan a getaway soon! 😄 The Girls really loved their time together! Cannot say ‘thank you’ enough!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Allen
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Allen on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,275 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Allen. 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 Fort Allen 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 Fort Allen 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 Fort Allen 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.

- 91% 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.
