Maci’s stay with Alphonsus was absolutely amazing! I was so stressed about finding the right sitter for my girl, but Alphonsus made the whole experience completely seamless. He was incredibly responsive and kept me updated with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Maci is a rescue and is still learning and getting comfortable in new situations, and Alphonsus was so patient and understanding with her. You could genuinely tell that she felt comfortable and safe with him. He is extremely knowledgeable about dogs, and you can just tell that he is someone dogs naturally love. If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would! I could not recommend Alphonsus more. I will, without a doubt, always use him to care for Maci. 🐾❤️

Alphonsus is a sweetheart. He took good care of our senior pup, and sent two videos and one photo during his five-day stay.

Alphonsus was great with my dog, he was attentive and understanding of an older dog’s needs and quirks. Responsive to messages when dog was in his care and was all around a great sitter. Would rebook in a heartbeat
