Safety, trust & environment

I’ve been home alone a lot with my 2 dogs and had to raise them and a cat, so I talk and hang out quite a lot with pets when I’m around them. I really love petting animals as it gives me just as much enjoyment as it does them.

Information Alonzo P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog takes any medications I will need to give them, or if they have any odd or unique things about them you would want me to know, I would love to learn about them.

A typical day

I really enjoy playing with all pets that are willing, so I’d be a perfect fit for high energy dogs. I love being the person they burn their energy out on wether that’s playing fetch or running around.

Compassionate loving pet care taker

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of my 2 dogs for 12 years. I grew up having 2 dogs and a cat to take care of at the same time, all different ages and breeds. I’m really into all animals and love just being able to be around them and meeting new ones. On my free time I volunteer at the Sequoia Park Zoo as well.

Alonzo was so wonderful with our dog. He is a very nice person and we felt comfortable with him at once. He sent pictures and videos and was available to message and responded promptly when we checked in. He took our boy on multiple walks and played a lot of fetch with him. Our dog is shy of new people, and he dealt with that really well. I highly recommend him.

Alonzo was wonderful with our two elderly cats. They immediately went up to him and were comfortable. alonzo is professional, reliable, and communicative. We felt very comfortable having him stay the night in our home. We will be using him again soon.!!

Alonzo was absolutely amazing to work with! He house sat and watched our 2 dogs while we were away. He was great with sending daily updates/pictures, has amazing communication, and left our house looking great for when we got back. I cannot say enough good things about him, and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a dog/house sitter! We will definitely be in touch with him in the future!
