Retired teacher, loves all dogs!
Pet care experience
I never use anything but a firm command as a way to discipline dogs. I have a host of walking areas within easy distance of my home. My home has a fenced back yard. I make sure to pick up after all pets in my care. I have been taking care of dogs since 1985. Nothing is as important as the health and safety of dogs in my care. I am a great dog sitter because I love dogs of all types and nearly always have a dog with me. Dogs help us live longer and healthier lives, which is a blessing for all of us. There is nothing quite like the total unconditional love of a dog. Dog is my co pilot. Thank you! I have plenty of time to devote to the care of your dogs whatever their specific needs may be. There is also a dog park within a few miles of here. I have a fenced in back yard and make sure your dog can't escape it. If your dog is a large dog who pulls on the leash, I keep the leash short and take him/her for walks around a very safe neighborhood.
Reviews
Alan took great care of my big boy! Lots of updates and communication. Would recommend.
Alan was the first person in my mind when we planned to have a vacation in Hawaii. Alan took good care of my 1 yr old Pepper last time when we were in Orlando. So I was 100% sure that he would be the best person to help this time. Will rebook with him in the future if he is available.
Alan was able to take in my dog last minute when my dog sitter had to cancel. Really appreciated it. My dog was healthy and happy when I picked him up.
Alan did a great job with our dog. Our dog was so happy there and I think even didn't want to leave. Highly recommend.

Information Alan L. would like to know about your pet
I like to go over any dietary restrictions, do's and don'ts before you leave him/her in my care. I also like to find out how often they need to go out, and what time works best as per their usual routine.
A typical day
I usually take dogs on walks a few times a day. I do not require crates for your dog. Most fun for dogs I care for is interacting with my dog, a playful long haired Chihuahua.
