Safety, trust & environment

I have many years of experience volunteering at shelters with a variety of dog breeds and types, which has given me a strong understanding of dog behavior and safety. Ensuring safe interactions and the well-being of your pet is my top priority.

Information Alison R. would like to know about your pet

Thank you for trusting me with your pet! To ensure I provide the best care, I’d love to know as much as possible about their preferences, habits, and needs. Specifically, could you share any important details about their diet, any food allergies, or special dietary restrictions? Additionally, if there are any quirky behaviors or routines I should be aware of, that would be really helpful! Also, I’d love to know your preferences for updates during our time together. Would you like me to send photo updates, brief summaries, or both? Feel free to let me know what would make you most comfortable!

A typical day

With all the beautiful scenery and parks around, your pet and I will have a wonderful time exploring, sniffing, and enjoying everything the area has to offer! I’d also love to hear what your pet enjoys most so we can make sure they’re as happy and comfortable as possible during our time together.

Al’s 4-Legged Pals

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Al! The human behind Al’s 4-Legged Pals! 🐾 Growing up with four dogs (and many other furry friends!), animals have always been a huge part of my life. While I haven’t always had a pet of my own due to frequent travel, I’ve poured that love into caring for others’ pets, through pet sitting for family and friends, as well as volunteering at local shelters. These experiences have deepened my understanding of animal behavior and the unique needs of each pet. As a dependable and compassionate caregiver, I’m here to make sure your four-legged family members feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or simply keeping them company, I tailor every visit to your pet’s personality and routine. I specialize in calm, one on one attention and respect every animal’s pace, quirks, and preferences. You can always count on clear communication, timely updates, and lots of happy tail wags. Let me know how I can support you and your furry companion, I’d love the opportunity to meet you both!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
