Pet care experience

Furbabies make the best roommates🐶

I have experience caring for 2 dogs and a cat in the same household growing up. The cat was twice the size of both dogs, which made it funny when the cat would start chasing the dog around.

House Sitting • Apr 09, 2026

This was my first time using Rover. I was very concerned as my older dog had some health issues arise right before I left. Alvin was amazing. He was constantly advising me about my dogs and any change of normal behavior. He was able to take care of the meds she needed and all was good. I was also surprised my dogs went for walks with him, as I was certain they would not go with someone else. He truly cared that my dogs were healthy including mentally making sure they had activity. He stayed at my house and left it the same condition I left it. I would highly recommended using Alvin and plan to use him again on my next trip. He also took care of watering my plants while I was gone.

My dog has boarded with Alvin multiple times for many days at a time and Alvin takes very good care of her and takes her on multiple walks a day. She always comes back happy and healthy.

Schedule

I was just recently laid off and I am currently unemployed. I'm home all day except for the times I'm going for a job interview. I usually walk the dogs around 6:00 AM. Feed them. Give them water. Then around 3:00PM to walk them again. And one more time around 9-10 so they can get a bathroom break before bed.

Safety, trust & environment

Last 3 months, when I lived in my friend's house, I would regularly walk his dog 2-3 times a day. I would sometimes cook meals for myself and the dog. I learned that garbanzo beans are really healthy for dogs. So I would make myself some beans and share it my friend's dog. It seemed to help her go potty smoothly too, thanks to all the awesome fiber it has.

I might not have a backyard, but I have two parks near my place. Your dogs will get to touch plenty of grass when he/she is with me.
