Alan communicated all the needed information from the walks. He was always punctual for the 6 evenings that he walked McAlister. My dog loved him and was exhausted after his walk. Yea!!! Alan also learned our routine quickly, and I didn't need to be around when he arrived at our home. I hope he will agree to walk McAlister again. Thank you, Alan

Alan was wonderful with the dogs and provided us lots of updates. Our one pup is extremely fearful around new people but Alan did so good just letting her come to him on her own time. This was the first time in years we used a sitter that wasn’t a family member but it was so smooth and we were able to enjoy our time away without much stress about our pups left behind.

Alan did a fantastic job caring for my mini poodle, Finn, while I was away on vacation for 11 days. From start to finish, his communication was outstanding — I loved receiving multiple pictures of Finn every day, which truly gave me peace of mind. He followed Finn’s eating instructions perfectly and even took him on more walks than he usually gets (which Finn absolutely loved!). Not only did Alan care for Finn with so much attention and genuine affection, but he also took great care of my home. I came back to a house just as clean as I left it, and he even washed the bedding from the room he stayed in. That level of thoughtfulness and detail is rare and so appreciated. I would highly recommend Alan to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and communicative pet care. He treated Finn like his own, and I will definitely be using him again in the future — he’s officially my go-to sitter!

Alan was amazing with our high needs puppy. He sent multiple pictures a day of our baby playing while we were gone and kept us updated on his eating and potty. Alan was a respectful house guest and left the place clean and tidy. I would absolutely recommend Alan. He’s a dog person.
