Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Dog's New Favorite Human
I've spent decades as a dog dad, raising springer spaniels, golden labs, and black labs – all active, intelligent breeds that need both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I also babysat a beagle every summer for years, so I'm comfortable with different energy levels and personalities. What sets me apart is my empathic approach and genuine understanding of what dogs need. I can read their body language and moods, whether they're anxious, playful, or just need a calm presence. Being retired means I have an open schedule and plenty of time for walks, play sessions, and just hanging out together – your dog won't be squeezed into a busy day. I know that every dog is an individual with their own quirks and routines, and I respect that. Your dog will get my full attention and the kind of care I've given my own pets for years.

Safety, trust & environment
My priority is maintaining your pet's routine and keeping them safe and comfortable. Pets thrive on routine and familiarity. I'll stick to your pet's exact schedule – mealtimes, medications, favorite activities, where they like to sleep – so the only thing that changes is that you're not there. I'm empathic to how pets handle change, so I take time to let them adjust to me at their own pace. I'll treat your home like my home and send you updates so you have peace of mind while you're away.
Ratings and reviews
Aaron is an exceptional cat lover! When my cat Stuart needed daily medication, he was the only person besides me that Stuart trusted to give it to him. While Stuart was terrified of wind, Aaron actually earned the privilege of giving belly rubs – something Stuart had never allowed anyone but me to do! Aaron has also been invaluable in helping me track down my adventurous 3-year-old cat, Whinny, on multiple occasions. He truly cares about the animals he works with and has a special gift for connecting with even the most cautious or independent cats. I trust Aaron completely with my pets and highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care!

Schedule
Being retired means pet care can be my daily routine! I have a completely open schedule with no other work commitments. My days are flexible and built around whatever your pet needs. The beauty of retirement is that I'm not trying to squeeze pet care into lunch breaks or evenings – I can give your pets the time and attention they deserve, whenever they need it.
