I enjoyed having Allison take care of Sam during two separate days of golf. She was flexible and a very prompt communicator.

Allison was awesome! My normal puppy sitter called in sick and I was in a super tight spot. Allison was flexible with me and was able keep my 12 week old German Shepherd/Pitbull puppy the next day. I feel like it was meant to be, because she is usually booked out for weeks PLUS I was looking for a puppy trainer as well and she just happened to be a dog trainer full time. Couldn't be happier and didnt worry at all.

Allison took Makkachin last minute, which I was so grateful for! She is very well trained and knowledgeable about dogs, let Makkachin run around and play with other dogs, and walked, fed her, etc., followed all directions, and sent pics when she could. Makkachin had a full day with her! :)

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.
