I retired three years ago from my full-time job and now work casually two or three nights a week. My daytime and weekends are completely free to look after your animals. I am completely mobile and able to stay in your home to look after your pets if you need to be away on vacation. Also able to do some light housekeeping (extra fee) for you while I am in your home. Both my husband and I are complete neat freaks, and your home will be well respected and taken care of while I am there.

Safety, trust & environment

I do genuinely love animals I would love to have some of our own if we could accommodate them in our condo. We are avid travelers, so the idea of having a dog doesn’t really work out for us. But I am drawn to dogs and I feel they love being around me as well. I’d offer a ton of love and am able to look after both sedentary and highly active pets.

Information Allen S. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me of all special needs that your pet may have so I can familiarize myself to look after them properly. If medication’s are required, I would require a full schedule of times that your pet will have to be administered them. I would need to be provided with a feeding/treat schedule and bed time routines.

A typical day

Your dog and I will go out on walks throughout the day to check out the sites, take in the smells and expend some pent-up energy. Dog parks are always a fun place to go and I love interacting with dogs through stimulating play and ball tossing. Back at home your dog and I will have a lot of fun playing together, relaxing together and generally getting to know and love each other..

Caring and active grandpaw!

Pet care experience

I’m a very fit and active 60-year-old gentleman who loves going out for long walks and would love the company of your pet to join me. My husband and I live in a condo and travel often so owning our own dog is almost impossible. We do have two grand puppies who we love spending time with and having stay with us whenever their parents are away..

Allen and Darrell are really sweet people and my Luna had a great time. Darrell took Luna out for walks, sent me pictures and videos regularly, and was very responsive. Will definitely leave Luna with them again! Thank you Darrell and Allen ♥️

Allen looked after my dog for 10 days, and he was absolutely wonderful! Thanks to his amazing care, I could completely focus on my work without a single worry. Allen is incredibly nice and genuinely loves taking my dog out for walks. He kept me updated the entire time, letting me know what my dog was doing and eating, which gave me great peace of mind. I especially loved the photos he sent—my dog looked so incredibly happy and comfortable in every single one of them. I will definitely be leaving my dog with Allen again in the future. Highly recommended!

We absolutely loved having Allan stay with our two doggies! He was in constant contact and even sent us amazing videos of the dogs while we were away. They were totally tuckered out when got home so we know they were well excersised and cared for. Our home was perfect upon arrival which is the best when you come home from a trip! We will absolutely book Allan in future and highly recommend him!
