Safety, trust & environment

I have a large crate available, if needed, and an in ground stake in the front and back yard with 30ft leads attached, allowing for plenty of time outside in shaded and unshaded areas. Food bowls are cleaned after every meal and pet waste is cleaned up after every trip outside.

Alphonse was accurate in his care details, attentive to our pets and they took to him nicely. Job well done. I'm also glad he asked pertinent questions when necessary. I would definitely request his services again.

I had a great experience with Alphonse taking care of Amor. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and responsible throughout the entire time. He followed all instructions perfectly and was very understanding of Amor’s routine and needs. He took pictures of her, and the pictures turned out great (she’s a natural model)! It was so nice to receive updates and see that she was doing well while I was away. He was also very thoughtful with her care—he cleaned her litter box, took care of her automatic wet food feeder, and made sure she was comfortable. He spent time playing with her, taking her out to the balcony to get a little sun, and was patient and gentle with her. I especially appreciated that he understood that Amor is strictly an indoor cat and made sure she stayed safely inside. We will definitely be having Alphonse take care of Amor again in October and December! It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she is in good hands while we are away. I would absolutely recommend Alphonse to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and responsible to take care of their baby. 🐱❤️

Alphonse is the best! He came today even though it was so cold. Had I known it was below 0 degrees I would have canceled today. Neither Alphonse nor my dog should have been out. They started their walk and Norma showed that she was cold and her paws were suffering. I’m so grateful that he had the good sense to bring her home before the scheduled end to her walk!

Norma seems to sense that Alphonse is on his way lo take her for a walk and when he arrives her reaction says it all! She’s a very happy pup! Alphonse is always on time and very responsive to any communication between us. If you need a great dog walker, contact him. I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Schedule

I currently work remote and spend most of the day with my own pup by my side. We go to the nearby dog park at least weekly, go on two 20-25 minute walks (1mi+) daily, and play regularly throughout the day. He is very friendly and happy to tag along for any walks or play times, if the company is welcomed.
