Pet care experience

Our family had two border terriers, I was the walker no matter whatever the weather and my daughter was the hugger. Rigby who was diagnosed with Cushing for 5 years and lived until he was 17 and Hobie the character of the two who was diagnosed with diabetes. We lost them both a couple of years ago. We moved to a beautiful village with great walks straight from our door. I am missing walking our dogs so my daughter suggested dog sitting. I am happy to look after both senior dogs and happy to walk dogs

My husband, was amazing with our dogs they were so well cared for . Many times he would go on his daily walk that took 20 mins and 40 mins later he’d be back having talked to his fellow dog walkers . No matter what the weather the dogs had a routine and he would never let them down. He has really missed having a dog and their wagging tails when he comes down stairs. My daughter used Rover to get the puppy love she missed and she thought her dad would be great at it too . If you want someone who gives a good scratch behind the ear then Alans your man.

I highly recommend Alan as a dog sitter and walker on Rover. He has years of experience caring for dogs and he always makes them part of the family. He is incredibly caring, attentive, and he naturally builds trust with every dog he meets. He is always their favourite person! He’s very comfortable with all aspects of dog care, including walking, feeding, and giving injections if needed, so you can feel confident your pupper will have all of their needs handled. He loves spending time with dogs (probably more than people!), and it shows in the way he ensures their happiness, comfort, and well-being. If you’re looking for someone reliable, experienced, and truly devoted to dogs, he’s the perfect choice. He would always be my first choice for my dog care.
