Veterinary Technician for 10 years

Pet care experience

I’ve been a Veterinary Tech for 10 years with experience in both General Practice & Emergency/Critical Care medicine. I also have a Letter of Recommendation from the City of Los Angeles for Animal Handling. I have plenty of personal and professional references for pet sitting and making sure they get absolutely everything they need!

Alan was a great pet caregiver, we had to go away on a last minute trip and was recommend by a friend. Not only did he follow instructions but he provided extra time to care for and play with our pets. It is obviously a HUGE PLUS that he has been in the Vet field as a technician for a number of years. We felt very confident in leaving our pets in Alan's care and it paid off tremendously. We also have already scheduled additional dates with him. My wife and I can not be any happier that we have found someone to take care of our pets while we are away. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I have complete peace of mind when my pets are in Alan’s care. Alan helped me when 2 of my cats had very challenging medical problems. He medicated them daily and took complete care of them when I was gone. I have total confidence that not only my animals, but my home is in good hands with Alan. He is reliable and conscientious, but mostly he’s kind, caring and knowledgeable about animal care and health. I don’t know how I would’ve made it through the difficult period of my pets’ illnesses without Alan’s support and knowledge. He is ‘a cut above’, and a very honorable person.

I met Alan through my vet clinic several years ago. I had 2 cats, and one of them was having some kidney issues. Alan’s knowledge, patience, and heart were immediately apparent, and when I needed to leave town, he offered to come by and make sure the boys were okay. I hadn’t had a “pet sitter” before… just usually a friend or neighbor would swing by. But I felt that Tex needed a little extra care during this time. Having Alan look after the boys was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Tex had an issue while I was out of town, and had Alan not been there, I’m certain that things would have ended differently. Alan’s professionalism as a Vet Tech, combined with his personal love for animals, made him an irreplaceable part of my pet’s lives. I have recommended him to several friends over the years who have immediately felt the same and continue to call on Alan for their pet sitting needs. 10 gold stars! I honestly could not think more highly of Alan. He has become a true friend and someone who has added value to both my life, and most importantly, my pet’s lives.
