Highlights
Pet care experience
I am 50% man. 50% dog. 50% cat.
Please please don't be upset when your pet ends up making me their favorite human. It happens all the time. I feel bad at first, but then I remember that I have a new furry best friend. I reside in dog-friendly Old Torrance and I can't wait to meet your pet. As with humans, I recognize that each animal is an individual. I pride myself on learning their unique traits, needs, and wants, and giving them the respect and care they deserve. Whether it's a two-week stay or a walk around the block, you can rest assured that your pet will be my number one priority. Looking forward to meeting you!

Safety, trust & environment
I believe that the best kind of pet-sitter is one who engages with the pet, keeping them entertained, healthy, and loved. Additionally, I take all client instruction seriously and do my utmost to encourage positive behavior.
Ratings and reviews
You won’t regret it if you hire Allen. He is outstanding! Allen easily managed our furry beast. Chloe is a Chinese slaughterhouse rescue and has some serious trust issues but Allen quickly won her over and was giving her belly rubs in no time. He also took great care of our home, leaving it better than he found it! We are so pleased with Allen and will definitely hire him again!!
We booked our holiday travel a little late in the year and our normal supply of family/friends who cat-sit for us were unavailable. I took a chance on Rover and found Allen and it all worked out splendidly! I met Allen before we left, gave him a quick intro to our cat Lisette, and away we went. I also left written instructions just in case and Allen followed them to a T. He sent photos and a video every day, putting my fears to rest about leaving our cat alone for the first time (we adopted her 6 months ago). I recommend Allen 100%! We will definitely be calling him again.
Allen is a kind and patient dog person. He was able to get my senior dog to leave me and go for a walk with him. She returned happy and relaxed.
I have been meaning to leave a review for Allen as he’s been our regular dog walker for a while. Allen has been very caring with our two dogs, including one somewhat hostile chihuahua and one elderly chihuahua who is blind and suffering from cognitive decline. He’s been so flexible and understanding with our elderly dog’s evolving care needs and is always so communicative.
Great communicator, came home to a calm, clean house and happy, relaxed dogs.
Allen is an awesome dog sitter! We have two high energy doodles, one of whom is blind, and he took really good care of them while we were away. He sent plenty of pictures and videos which gave us peace of mind and when he left, they were standing at the guest bedroom door looking for him. We highly recommend Allen!

Schedule
I work from home and create my own schedule which allows me the opportunity to get out and do one of my favorite things--being with animals. I'm able to adjust my day on short notice to make my self available.
