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!
“Nancy was absolutely amazing!! She spent quality time with Millie and kept me posted throughout the sitting on how Millie was doing.

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 grew up with all kinds of pets from birds to geckos! I have a lot of pet sitting experience and am super flexible with schedules and any of your pets needs! I have experience with pets that require daily medication as well. I work full time but I have only work 4 days a week and my work schedule is always changing allowing me to have flexibility with days and even times! I remember that when I am caring for someone else’s pet that I am in their pets territory and that I may be unfamiliar to them at first! I am always gentle with them and try to maintain a relaxing environment for each pet I care for. I always give them time to warm up to me as well and offer them lots of love!

I have 3 dogs here that are pet friendly and can keep your animal company!

“Perfect experience! I’m a first-time Rover user and a worrier by nature, which is magnified when it comes to my beloved pets. Amber was so responsive, understanding, and put me at ease with every text. (And I had a lot of them!). My pups loved her instantly upon just walking into the house. They were like old friends. She listed to and followed all my instructions and she was easy to keep in touch with throughout her stay. Would definitely book her again and would recommend her to anyone else.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Allen
Nancy was exceptional. We have a very unique and rigid routine with our dog due to her history, which requires a sitter to remain in our home overnight with limited time out of the home. We have had varying experiences with sitters following her care guidance and took a chance on Nancy after a wonderful meet and greet. Nancy was extremely attentive to all the details of her stay and maintained our routines beautifully. Kova was cared for just as well as she would have been if we were home. Being away for a week and trusting another person to care for your pets can be a challenge, and Nancy was not hesitant to step in to meet this challenge head on. She communicated with us each day and let us know if Kova was feeling unwell or if she had any questions about our care. She quelled our anxieties by keeping us informed of changes. She was flexible as needed and we had no concerns about our girls wellbeing. Nancy cares for our cat as well, who is relatively shy but warmed up quickly! Nancy left our home clean, washed up bedding despite being our guest, and brought in all our mail and deliveries. I would recommend anyone who needs an attentive sitter to meet with Nancy. We will happily have her back again!
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!
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 1,238 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.
