Availability
As an educator with Montgomery County Public Schools, I have a structured schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care. During the school year, I am available for dog walks and visits between 6:30 AM and 8:00 AM on weekdays, as well as after work beginning at 3:30 PM. I am also available on weekends. Beginning June 18, I will have open availability and be available seven days a week for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, overnight stays, and last-minute requests. Caring for dogs has been a part of my daily life for many years, and I enjoy providing dogs with the exercise, attention, and companionship they need to be happy and healthy.

Safety, trust & environment
I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner’s instructions to ensure their routine remains consistent and comfortable. For dog walking, I provide safe, attentive walks tailored to each dog’s age, energy level, and needs. Whether your dog enjoys a brisk walk for exercise or a slower-paced stroll, I make sure they get plenty of activity, attention, and care. For drop-in visits, I can provide fresh water, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and any other care requested by the owner. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and cared for when their family is away. For doggy daycare, I provide a safe, supervised environment with plenty of attention, exercise, play, and opportunities to relax. My goal is to make sure every dog feels secure, happy, and well cared for throughout the day. Having owned dogs my entire life, including German Shepherds, Boxers, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, and a Labrador Retriever, I am comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels.

Lifelong Dog Owner & Caregiver
Pet care experience
I have been a dog owner my entire life and have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of breeds, including German Shepherds, Boxers, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, and currently a Labrador Retriever. This experience has given me a strong understanding of different temperaments, energy levels, and training needs. I am comfortable handling both large and active dogs, and I am committed to providing safe, reliable, and attentive care for every dog as if they were my own.
Reviews
Finding Al as a dog sitter has been an absolute game-changer. Unlike other dog sitters I have had, Al really cares about my dog. He has a genuine, natural connection with animals that you just can't fake. My dog took to him immediately, which I took note of. Al is attentive and present. He doesn't just show up and go through the motions — he truly engages. My dog is very active and need long walks and ball sessions. She is used to an active house and also needs attention and cuddles. Al takes care of her in all of the ways we ask him to and our dog needs. My neighbors keep an eye out and comment on his presence and attentiveness. I can tell by how happy she is when I come home that she been well taken care of while I was away. Most importantly, Al treats my dog like his own. The love and care he puts in gives me total peace of mind when I'm away. Knowing my dog is being well taken care of helps me enjoy my trips and not worry about if she is being taken care of. I highly recommend Al for dog sitting.
We have had up to four dogs at one time, including a special needs dog (blind and deaf). Albert made instant connections with all of our dogs. They just adore him. Our German shepherd female is especially fond of him. Albert is reliable, caring and would be an excellent choice for walking needs or weekend care. He is very thoughtful about maintaining schedules and medication administration if needed.
I highly recommend Al as a pet caregiver. As an experienced pet owner, he is responsible, dependable, and genuinely loves animals. Al is attentive to pets' needs, ensures they are safe and well cared for, and treats every animal with kindness and patience. Al is reliable, communicates well, and consistently follows through on his commitments. He provides the attention, exercise, and affection pets need to thrive. His calm and caring nature helps pets feel at ease.
Al would provide safe, loving care and excellent customer service to any dog in his care. He has watched my Lab, Rhett, and my Aussie, Watson, in the past, and he was absolutely wonderful with both of them. He played with them endlessly, gave them tons of attention, and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Al is dependable, kind, patient, and genuinely loves animals. He would treat anyone’s dog as if it were his own and love on them the whole time. I would absolutely trust him to care for my pets again.
