I’ll love your pet like my own!

Pet care experience

I have been an animal lover since as long as I can remember and will treat your pet like it’s my own. I would love to help all the dog parents out while I wait to become my own dog dad. I promise your pet will have ample affection and be in good hands. I’ve cared for many dogs in my neighbourhood previously and would love to continue this throughout the downtown Vancouver area. I’ve picked up newly adopted puppies from the airport and taken them to their forever homes. I’ve helped train all my family’s dogs and have been asked to pet sit quite regularly. I am strong enough to handle large dogs but also grew up with small family dogs so I love small breeds. I am able to work on or off leash, obviously whichever you’d be comfortable with. Rest assured I will care for your animal like I do my own and that your pet will be in good hands. I have fairly open schedule and am often available for any last minute requests. If you think I’d be a good fit for you and your pet please don’t hesitate to send me a message and I will reply very quickly. I would love to be your pets second best friend!

Alan was the best pet sitter for our dog Roo. He stayed in our home over the festive break whilst we travelled to the UK and kept us updated every day with photos and videos. He looked after both our dog and home like it was his own and we couldn’t be more appreciative. Would 100% recommend and will be using Alan again! Thank you.

Alan did a wonderful job looking after our pup! He met with us beforehand, responded to messages quickly, and made our dog very comfortable. Would definitely book again 🙂

Not only do I highly recommend Alan, my dog Tazo does as well!! Alan came over for a meet and greet, prior to our vacation and Tazo immediately knew he was a dog person. Tazo sat at his feet and soaked up all his attention. Alan is very calm and gentle with my sometimes crazy energetic golden retriever. Important to know that Alan also left my home in perfect condition after a full week away. Definitely two thumbs up!!

Information Alan R. would like to know about your pet

I’ll almost always ask to do a meet and greet prior to first visit to get to know the pup and so they get to know me and go over any details you might want to give me.

A typical day

I live right next to Stanley park and English bay beach so most of our day sound be spent walking around the area of relaxing somewhere cozy.
