Pet care experience

Lifelong pet owner here to help!

I am a lifelong pet lover and owner, here to help with your furry family! I use Rover for my own dog when I travel and know how important it is to find someone you can trust when you are away from home. I have decades of pet ownership and care experience with dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, birds, reptiles, and more. I also have experience as a Guide Dogs for the Blind puppy-raiser (2 years), worked in veterinary hospitals (3 years), and am capable of assisting with oral medication and other needs. Currently I have a 40lb pitbull mix who keeps me on my toes, but I have some extra time to help with your pet care! Sombra does not play well with other dogs, so she will stay at home while I care for your pet.

Safety, trust & environment

Allison was great! She took such good care of our two pups and sent me pics each day from their walks. She even had to give our dog Bella her antibiotics due to a recent dental visit and was super detailed on following all our instructions. It made a trip so enjoyable knowing our two pups were in her care.

Allison did such a great job taking care of our two hounds on short notice! She was patient, communicative and forward-thinking, I am really glad we found her.

Allison did a great job taking care of my 2 shepherds (who can be a lot!). It relieved me to know that she has experience with reactive dogs. I would not hesitate to book her again. Thanks so much, Allison

It's obvious that Allison is a pet lover and an experienced pet sitter. She did a wonderful job caring for our little brood while we were away for the day, and we would welcome her back anytime.

We always use Allison when we can. Both our cat and dog come running to greet her, which is not surprising. She understands that Toby, being a smaller older dog, doesn’t want to be walked, so much as he wants someone to cuddle with. Definitely a good fit for our boys!

Once again, Allison did a great job taking care of our boys (and our house). Both the cat and the dog were excited to see her again. We will gladly continue to ask Allison to dog/cat/house sit when we go away.
