Safety, trust & environment

I believe that the best kind of pet-sitter is one who engages with the pet, keeping them entertained, healthy, and loved. Additionally, I take all client instruction seriously and do my utmost to encourage positive behavior.

Information Allen B. would like to know about your pet

I enjoy pets of all breeds and sizes. Let me know of any dietary needs, quirks, favorite activities, or preferred tastes in foreign cinema. Looking forward to meeting them!

A typical day

For active dogs, a classic game of fetch at the park with a frisbee or ball never fails. I see the need to exercise dogs as opportunities to exercise myself so I'm always good for a jog or a thrilling game of tug-of-war. For cats, often a simple string with a feather attached to the end can provide hours of entertainment. Using toys to get them to leap and pounce will prevent them from getting restless and scratching up furniture.

Pet care experience

Please please don't be upset when your pet ends up making me their favorite human. It happens all the time. I feel bad at first, but then I remember that I have a new furry best friend. I reside in dog-friendly Old Torrance and I can't wait to meet your pet. As with humans, I recognize that each animal is an individual. I pride myself on learning their unique traits, needs, and wants, and giving them the respect and care they deserve. Whether it's a two-week stay or a walk around the block, you can rest assured that your pet will be my number one priority. Looking forward to meeting you!

You won’t regret it if you hire Allen. He is outstanding! Allen easily managed our furry beast. Chloe is a Chinese slaughterhouse rescue and has some serious trust issues but Allen quickly won her over and was giving her belly rubs in no time. He also took great care of our home, leaving it better than he found it! We are so pleased with Allen and will definitely hire him again!!

We booked our holiday travel a little late in the year and our normal supply of family/friends who cat-sit for us were unavailable. I took a chance on Rover and found Allen and it all worked out splendidly! I met Allen before we left, gave him a quick intro to our cat Lisette, and away we went. I also left written instructions just in case and Allen followed them to a T. He sent photos and a video every day, putting my fears to rest about leaving our cat alone for the first time (we adopted her 6 months ago). I recommend Allen 100%! We will definitely be calling him again.

Allen is a kind and patient dog person. He was able to get my senior dog to leave me and go for a walk with him. She returned happy and relaxed.

I have been meaning to leave a review for Allen as he’s been our regular dog walker for a while. Allen has been very caring with our two dogs, including one somewhat hostile chihuahua and one elderly chihuahua who is blind and suffering from cognitive decline. He’s been so flexible and understanding with our elderly dog’s evolving care needs and is always so communicative.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
