Experienced WFH Dog Sitter
Pet care experience
I am a dog foster for a non profit in the DC area. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from 20 lbs to 90 lbs. My family dog growing up had epilepsy so I have experience handling medications and medical conditions as well.
Reviews
Allison was my first Rover sitter, and the first time leaving my dog with a stranger. She came over for a meet and greet and he took to her right away -- she has a very calm demeanor and clearly dogs feel very comfortable around her. I really appreciate that Allison works from home and so was planning to actually be around and in the house most of the time she was dogsitting -- that's what I was looking for. She was planning to have her partner join her, which we discussed during the initial meet and greet, and we set up a second meet and greet to make sure me and the dog had met everyone who would be staying, so I felt very comfortable about it. My dog is pretty reactive to the other dogs in my building, but Allison assured me she's dealt with that before, and when I got home our front desk person told me they'd developed a system for knowing when the lobby was clear for them to walk through. Allison checked in twice a day with short updates and photos. She left the house in great order, and everything seems to have gone great. I'm very happy and would definitely use Allison again.
Allison took great care of our senior dog and kept us updated about his wellbeing. She also house-sat for us and left our house in amazing shape!
Allison was a great house and pet sitter. She provided regular updates and when I got home my apartment was clean and my doggy was happy. My dog is reactive which makes me nervous when I leave her with sitters but Allison was reassuring and I was glad Mae had no issues.
Allison has walked my puppy Sage several times. She’s great with Sage and communicative with me!
About Allison T.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Working from home, I love to have a companion. I keep an eye on the dogs in my home, regularly taking time to play games and engage with them. Living in an apartment, I don't have a yard but live near a number of securely fenced in parks if the dog is friendly with other dogs!
Information Allison T. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any behaviors or accommodations that I should know about. I like to do a meet and greet before any visits so your dog can get to know me and we can chat about your dog's temperament, likes and dislikes, schedule, etc.!
A typical day
When a dog is staying with me I love to go on walks down to the national mall. I also enjoy going on hikes in rock creek park. When staying at your home or taking your dog on walks, I love to get recommendations for places your dog enjoys and get to explore the neighborhood!
