Pet care experience
Hi there, I'm Allie! I'm a stay-at-home-mom to a nutty toddler, and I thought Rover seemed like a nice way to combine my love of animals with an opportunity to occasionally get out of the house! I'm passionate about all dogs, but I have a soft spot for large mutts in particular. I have a dog of my own, a Super Mutt named Murphy who was rescued from a Durham organization nearly six years ago. My nightly rate includes at least two visits per day to make sure your pets have food, water, bathroom breaks and lots of attention. I have been the owner of a dog for the past six years, and I grew-up with a giant labrador. While my experience has primarily been with larger dogs, I love just about anything with four legs. Why I love dog sitting I've always, always been drawn to animals, and I've loved dogs as long as I can remember. I got my first family dog when I was in the sixth grade - a giant yellow lab (100+ pounds!) named Max - who was with us until I was in my early 20's. About two weeks before we got engaged, my now-husband and I adopted a puppy from a Durham rescue group. We thought he was the cutest thing on four legs, but no one wanted the doberman/pit bull/mastiff mix. After a reassuring phone call with an animal behaviorist, we took a leap of faith and Murphy has been a cherished family member ever since. He's now a big brother to our toddler daughter and we couldn't have asked for a better companion. My experience administering medication Yes. I've administered medication to both dogs and cats. I've learned that cheese works wonders!
Reviews
Allie was amazing with our 2 pitbull mixes, one which is very large with high anxiety. We have never left our dogs with a stranger or kennel nevermind having a complete stranger in and out of our home while we were over 600 miles away. She sent us several updates and pictures. I never had to worry. Cant wait to use Allie again and I'm sure Ryder and Casey would agree.
Outstanding service! I could not be happier with how things went. I received status messages with pictures daily. I will use Rover and hopefully Allie again!!
Allie has a heart of gold and such a love for fur babies! We knew our dog was in great hands, and we appreciated the updates and pictures of him while we were away.
Allie (and her husband!) did a great job watching my girls while I was out of town for a short weekend trip. She kept me updated throughout the visit and I came home to happy well-cared for girls! I will definitely go to Allie again for my pet sitting needs!

Information Allie S. would like to know about your pet
Of course I'd love to know more about your dog's temperament and what they like, but I'd also like to know if there's a way to make your dog more comfortable while you're gone. As for breed preferences, I have none… but I do have a soft spot for mutts.
A typical day
Time I'll spend with your dog I imagine I'd spend between 20-30 minutes with your dog at each visit. Extra house-sitting services Yes, I'd be glad to bring in mail and take care of plants.
