Big dude that can handle big dogs!

Pet care experience

I’ve had several dogs of my own and lived with others: lab/pit mix, pits, two German Shepherds, a Great Dane, a friendly chihuahua, and an evil chihuahua. I’ve rescued dogs off the street, and am all around good with animals. I have a job that gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I do travel from time to time, which is why I don’t have a pup of my own. I can be whatever your dog needs. If he’s old, we can relax together; full of energy? We can throw sticks around and run. Small and skittish? Food is a great incentivizer to build trust. I’m looking to make some extra cash and enjoy the company of your pets. I will make sure your dog is happy, fed, played with, and comfortable. I only take on one client at a time, so owners do not have to worry about their pets interacting with another owner's pets. Your loved ones will have my undivided attention.

We didn't get to meet Alan, but his family was lovely and so sweet. Sounds like Dennis was entertained and busy while he was there. He is extremely tired now that he is back home.

Alan was terrific. Gave us peace of mind knowing that he would drop in on Bauer, feed him and take him for a walk. Thanks Alan!

Great guy. Our Aussie Cattle Dog loved hanging with Alan - his demeanor for boarding your dog is excellent.
