Alen took such wonderful care of our dog for two full weeks, and we couldn’t be more grateful. He made her stay extra special with regular walks to the beach and plenty of cuddles and attention. It was clear she was loved and well cared for the entire time. Alen was also incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Marley came home a very happy pup — we would absolutely trust Alen again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable dog sitter

Alen was great with our kittens while we were out of town! Very attentive and communicative. Thank you so much!

Having used Rover many times, I can confidently say that Alen is one of the best sitters I’ve worked with. He is very communicative and caring, and he took amazing care of my dog Raphael when I was traveling. I could tell Raphael was very happy and comfortable with Alen, and they got to do so many fun activities together. He really went above and beyond to care for Raphael and I am so grateful for his care.

Alen is a natural with dogs and put our anxious girl at ease! He got our dog great exercise and ensure she spent safe time playing off leash as well as walking on leash. We also appreciated good communication and photos! We definitely look forward to boarding with alen again.
