Safety, trust & environment

Our dogs are part of our family. They're very sweet, and loving. My girlfriend and I do not live together so they stay at both of our houses throughout the week. At my house, where I will be boarding clients dogs is partially fenced in, but when outside the dogs are always supervised and tied. I generally stay outside with them while they're outside because I don't think I can be too cautious when it comes to their safety. When it comes to a clients pets, I would be just as if not more diligent. As mentioned, I do have two dogs of my own, however when taking care of clients pets, my dogs will stay at my girlfriend's house to eliminate any possible conflicts. If hired to go to a clients home, I am happy to accommodate whatever instructions and routines they have for their own dogs or cats.

Information Allen G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any special details about your pets as I am happy to accommodate. If your dogs are better alone than with other dogs I can work with you.

A typical day

I love taking my dogs to the park and letting them run and play and can do the same for clients. Play fetch, and let them burn off their energy.

Allen is wonderful with our dogs. Their last stay one of our pups got sick and threw up. Allen communicated everything that was going on, checked on him through the night, and was more than willing to take him to our vet the next day if necessary. I 100% recommend Allen. We won’t use anyone else as long as he’s available.
