Availability

I work part-time from home and set my own schedule, so your pup will get plenty of attention, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m home all day on Mondays and Fridays, which allows for consistent care and companionship. I’m also available Tuesday through Thursday, though I work in-office in Elk Grove from 6am–2pm. On those days, I can stop home on my lunch break for a potty break and check-in, as long as your pup is comfortable being home alone for a few hours in between. I’m happy to walk your dog alongside mine or separately—whatever best suits their needs and comfort level.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets as if they’re my own, tailoring everything to their routine and comfort level. I work part-time from home (and fully remote Mondays and Fridays), so pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. In my home, dogs enjoy access to a fenced-in dog park for exercise and nearby park walks. Pets are welcome on furniture and the bed if allowed, and I can also accommodate crate routines. For cats, I offer both social integration or a completely separate, quiet space if preferred. I’ve set up a private guest room and bathroom in the past with litter, food, and water to help cats feel safe and adjust at their own pace.

Information Aaron E. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special needs, routines, or care instructions so I can provide the best experience for your pet. I welcome all breeds, but I do appreciate a heads-up on any behavioral considerations ahead of time. I’m also happy to schedule a meet & greet—either with or without my pets—to make sure everyone is comfortable and a great fit.

A typical day

There’s no shortage of toys, belly rubs, and cuddles in my home! We enjoy trips to the fenced-in dog park, going on walks, and of course, relaxing on the couch together.

Pet care experience

I share my home with two animals: Merlot (my 14-year-old dog) and Meleys (my 2-year-old cat). I’ve always grown up with animals and truly can’t imagine life without them—if I had the space, I’d probably have 10 more! I work from home about half the week, which means I’m able to spend plenty of time giving your pet attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Both of my pets are friendly and welcoming to dogs of all sizes. Merlot is more laid-back in his older age and spends most of his time relaxing, while Meleys is comfortable around friendly animals but also has her own quiet space if she prefers some distance. We also have a fenced-in dog park within my complex, perfect for safe playtime, fetch, and burning off energy—especially during the cooler mornings and evenings. Your dog will be treated like part of the family here! Pets are welcome on the furniture, and if they’re used to sleeping in bed, they’re more than welcome to join us. I also have crates available if your dog prefers or is accustomed to crate sleeping.

Aaron accepted my booking last minute and was so flexible. My Jazmin was sooo well taken care of and spoiled. A new fave sitter 😊😊

Aaron took such wonderful care of my two indoor cats! They are not used to being boarded normally so I wasn’t sure how they would do in a new setting. Aaron was very detailed in asking questions about them and letting me know how the cats’ setup would be to help them get adjusted at his place. He was very understanding that they might have been skittish or scared and from the photos he shared they were venturing out and exploring! I really appreciate his help taking care of my fur babies when I’m not home and will definitely use his services again.
