Active animal lover &dog enthusiast

Pet care experience

Hello! Nice to meet you my name is Alan. I’m a student studying mathematics at Radford University set to graduate soon. I’ve had the privilege of caring for & loving animals my whole life. I own two dogs and two cats. All my animals are kennel trained and can be contained if need be, my cats have their own room they can be in if other dogs are around. I’m comfortable caring for any size dog, cat, bird, any animal- I love them! I have lots of experience and I am very active and would love to take your pup for walks or runs if you’d like. I have worked as a lifeguard for many years and my girlfriend is a prevet major so we are very responsible. I have pet sat and home sat for many neighbors over the years. I have flexible available hours so let me know any help you may need. Thanks!

Alan D. Came at the perfect time! He provided long, fun and adventurous walks for my two lovely puppas. I have a German Shepherd and a boxer pit bull, who loved Alan’s company. I would definitely choose him again. He also works well with my cat, Wiz, who is very shy but Alan D. Has made him really comfortable by playing with him often with a string or laser. Alan D. Came on time all the time and provided great service for my babies. Thank you Rover.com for hiring Alan D. Great employer!!

Alan has watched our pets many times and I’m always struck by his love and affection for them; as if they were his own! He’s a very responsible, mature young man who takes his commitments and job performance seriously. I highly recommend him.

I have known Alan for almost 5 years and I have left my high energy 70 lb dog with him many times with zero problems. He’s a natural with all animals and a major dog lover. He is always who I trust when I can’t get home in time to let my dog out. He’s great with strong & even the crazy ones! He’s also very polite and responsible. Definitely hire him if you need a pet sitter/walker
