Pet care experience
Reliable Walks & Sitting
I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments for years—whether it’s energetic puppies learning the ropes, adult dogs who love a good walk and playtime, or sweet seniors who just need a little extra patience and gentle care. I treat every dog like they’re my own, offering consistency, affection, and attention to detail with their routines. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to truly tune into each dog’s individual needs. I have experience with basic puppy training, including crate training, potty training, and leash manners. I’m also confident in caring for senior dogs, including administering oral medications, joint support, and creating a calm, safe environment they can relax in. Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn off energy, structured training reinforcement, or just a cozy lap and some quiet companionship, I’m here to provide personalized care that fits your dog’s unique personality and routine. Communication is important to me—I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pictures and notes so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment
We are a family friendly household - golden retriever, cat, turtles, and fish - and your pets would be treated as if they were my own family. I provide custom care for each client, whether it be playing in the dog park or long walks through the neighborhood or local parks. I walk my own dog 3 miles each morning and most evenings through Schiller Park.
Ratings and reviews
Aaron showed up early and stayed later after my flight was delayed. He also took Bella out 4 times throughout the day which was extra than expected. Quick to communicate and trustworthy. Thanks for helping us Aaron!
Aaron was absolutely wonderful! He shared regular updates and photos and went above and beyond on caring not only for our pets but also for our home! We’ve already rebooked Aaron for another stay and can’t recommend him highly enough!
Aaron has been wonderful with Milo both when I’m home and while I’ve been out of town. My dog isn’t always easy to work with, but Aaron handled him with patience and skill. He’s reliable, always on time, and truly cares. I’m really grateful to have found him and to have his help whenever I need it.
Aaron is reliable and flexible. Our pets love him and he truly treats them like his own. He planned a meet and greet to understand our needs and was great with Tucker. It is best to schedule early for walks if you have a specific routine or schedule you’d like to keep for your dogs. He’s been a life saver when we have had last minute needs and has even taken Tucker to give a bath. He is also extremely respectful of your home and privacy when house and pet sitting. Recommend wholeheartedly. We’ve also used him to check in on our cats while on vacation to feed and change litter. He offered to bring in mail and packages, as well.

Schedule
I work remotely and have an extremely flexible schedule. Depending on your needs, I am available any time of the day to provide walks, check ins, or sitting. I also have a 3 year old golden retriever that would happily play with your pet if you would like socialization practice while training. Please request services for sitting at least 3 days in advance. I may be able to accommodate shorter notice, but please wait for a response before booking.
