Alan was amazing!!! We had a pup with some recent injuries who needed extra care. Alan was attentive and caring- he really helped our pup heal! He was very communicative and provided great updates. Can’t recommend him highly enough!

Alan did an absolutely amazing job sitting with our dogs for a week! Great communication with daily updates and pictures, with running commentary on what he and the dogs were doing and how it was going. Strongest recommendation for Alan Bernstein! Many thanks!
