Pet care experience
I've had dogs my entire life and have taken care of neighbors/friends/professors dogs for years. I consider my dog my son and nothing is more important to me than making sure the dogs in my life and loved and well cared for. Since starting Rover last spring, I've watched over 100 dogs of many breeds and sizes, many of whom I've now watched multiple times and feel very bonded with. **** I am full for all repeating (i.e., weekly drop-ins/walks) requests currently. Feel free to still put in the request but depending on time, days, and your location, I will likely be unable to commit to repeat weekday services right now. I am also limiting housesitting mostly to past clients but you are welcome to still submit a request. I live in an apartment so I'm limiting services to dog walking, drop in visits, and housesitting for now. Flexible with times and lengths of these, however! I always make sure to set aside lots of time for pets and cuddles in all of my drop ins! I will also send lots of pictures and as many updates as you would like.
Reviews
We’ve used Allie several times, this time it was for a full week during our vacation and she had to give one of our pups medication for a hot spot. She took great care of all the animals, as always!
Allie is just wonderful with Logan. She seems to genuinely enjoy him, and she is so kind to us and works with our schedule. I can’t recommend her enough!
Allie always does a great job! Punctual and thorough, she spends time with Zoula at each visit. We trust Allie to take good care of our girl.
Allie was wonderful! She was communicative, punctual, and took great care of my pup!

Let me know if I should be aware of any household items your dog tends to eat, chew, or get into. Also let me know if there are any specific activities they especially enjoy - fetch, swimming, etc.
Information Allie S. would like to know about your pet
Any allergies your dog has or treats that are off limits? If we come across another dog on a walk, is your dog friendly? If dog needs to be crated, any tips for motivating him/her to go back into the crate at the end of the visit?
A typical day
I love taking dogs I watch on the trails or to the dog park. If you have a dog park or trail nearby (within a couple of miles), I would be happy to take them there!!
Services
Allie can watch in your home
Availability
I am a PhD student in psychology with generally flexible hours so I do best with dogs who can be left for 2-4 hours so I can attend classes and meetings. Depending on the day, I may not be able to do a midday individual drop-in or walk this semester but my weekend availability is wide open. For housesitting, it would be wonderful if it were a home where you would be okay with me bringing my (quiet, small, housetrained, 10 pound) dog with me so I don't have to leave him all night.
