Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I have two great outdoor spaces - a front balcony and a rooftop deck - that would be a great spot for a pet to explore. They are both surrounded by brick walls (so no gaps for escapes!) and very safe. I live in a 2000 sq ft apartment, so there is plenty of space indoors as well. Other that that, there is a lot of great quiet streets for walks, and a lovely coffee shop that offers dog treats in their pick up window nearby!

Information Allie S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special food restrictions, exercise restrictions, as well as their behavior with other animals and people (i.e. if we are in a walk, should we avoid getting close to other dogs).

A typical day

I love watching dogs as it gives me an excuse to get outside and get some exercise myself, so I can definitely do some longer walks! I also have fun playing with dogs/cats (fetch, tug of war, catnip toys, etc.), give great scratches, and can make some yummy kong or lick mat treats for the pups (with owner permission).

Pet care experience

I have experience fostering dogs through PAWS and OTAT, as well as volunteering at both shelters. I also grew up with a cat and a dog, have cared for countless pets belonging to friends and family, and now finally have a pup of my own—Jerry, a friendly rescue dog! After taking a short break to focus on getting Jerry settled and trained, I’m excited to be back on Rover to help care for your pets. I know how important it is to have a trustworthy, loving caregiver, and I’ll always treat your pets like my own. Whether they need playtime, snuggles, or a long walk, I’m here to make sure they’re happy and well cared for!

Allie was wonderful! Communicative and caring. She also was willing to meet me before for a quick dog meet and greet to ensure our pups got along. Rex seemed very happy and content after his stay.

Allie was amazing! I felt totally at ease leaving our pup with her. She was very communicative and sent lots of great pictures of Poppy and her pup Jerry playing together! Poppy was not ready to leave she had such a great time! 12/10 would recommend :)

Allie was great! It was my first time using Rover for my pup, Bella, and Allie helped make it a positive experience. We set up time a few days beforehand for Bella to meet her dog, Jerry, to make sure they would get along. During the boarding Allie sent me lots of updates and pics of Bella and Jerry lounging and playing together. Bella had a great time and I would definitely recommend Allie!

Allie is an excellent caretaker. She took my puppy Charlie in for daycare over a weekend and her dog and mine got along great. They played, then napped, then played, then napped. Charlie looked very happy and cozy in all of her photos and she kept in touch regularly. Highly recommend.
