Pet care experience
Hi! I adore dogs and I’d love to take care of yours in your home. I grew up with a dog (a hound mix from the streets of Baltimore) and have had two dogs as an adult. Both of them were rescues and have since sadly passed on. One, Elvis, was a bluetick coonhound mix, and the other, Rufus, was a redboned coonhound mix. I have dog sitting/house sitting experience and can provide non-Rover references. Let’s meet and see how I can help you and your dog! I keep my Rover calendar updated, but please don’t hesitate to reach out to me via text message if you see a date that is marked unavailable as I may be able to accommodate special requests (even last minute) depending upon the circumstances and my availability. Rest assured that your house will be as you left it—if not better—and I will launder the linens I’ve used (if you have a washing machine.) Typically I clean the bathroom and kitchen, since I used those spaces in your absence. Your pets won’t have to adjust to my schedule, I can adapt to their routines, providing consistency with environment, care, and training so they will be comfortable while you are away. (And you can relax as well!) When I’m taking care of more than one dog, I will walk them together or separately, whichever they (& you) prefer. Sometimes dogs prefer the comfort of their friend, other times they like complete freedom to determine the pace and length of the walk. While I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like, I have a special affinity with seniors. I have a lot of patience and am happy to take them for slow walks, at their own pace, so they can sniff until their hearts’ content. I’m happy to handle pet clean-up, mail pickup, and put out the trash on the designated day/s. Communication will be consistently provided throughout your absence through texts, pictures, and videos. If you allow it, I love taking the dogs in my care to the park and to the beach. My car is equipped with a dog leash seat belt so no harm will come to your pet. (I’ve never had an accident.) Currently, I have no pets of my own so I am able to focus all of my energy on yours and providing the attention they deserve while you are away—so you can relax knowing they are well cared for in your home. P.S. I also love cats and had one as a child. (We actually got a cat because I wanted one.) P.P.S. Check out sookieandivy on Instagram (no relationship to me, they’re just fun)
Reviews
Allegra did a great job watching our energetic 6 month old pupp!
Allegra watched our dogs Faye (60 lb) & Bucco (85 lb) for a week. Our dogs loved her! She is very thorough as to knowing your dogs and their habits and catering to them. We felt safe knowing our dogs were in her care and our house was in her care. Each AM & PM we received pics and videos of our fur babies and how happy they were. She is attentive, kind, caring and safe. We highly recommend Allegra and will use her again - hands down.
Allegra was great! Very communicative, sent lots of pictures and took excellent care of my old boys! They got lots of cuddles and she left the house in immaculate condition. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a solid sitter!!
Allegra took great care of our pup, Hunter, and our house while we were out of town. Her daily communications and photos put us at ease that everything was going smoothly. We will definitely book her again the next time we’re called away from home. Thanks!
About Allegra S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will care for your pets exactly how you tell me you’d like me to take care of them: belly rubs, walks, treats, medication administration—whatever is necessary. Plus, I love sleeping with them so that’s not a problem at all. (As long as it is okay with you, of course.)
Home
Information Allegra S. would like to know about your pet
It’s important to find out everything possible about the dog before a sitting assignment. First, any medical needs are paramount. Then walking requirements, feeding information, playing preferences, even favorite petting locations are key.
A typical day
I love to play with dogs and take them for walks, around the neighborhood and at parks. I’m fine with driving your dog to a park that is beyond walking distance. I have a leash seat belt attachment in my car for safety.
