Happy to walk or skate w/ your pet

Pet care experience

I am one of those animal magnet people, wild and domesticated animals tend to want to visit me and say hello. Being a child trapped in an adults body, I love to play with friends (animals). I get a tremendous joy out of seeing dogs having fun playing and wagging their tails. High energy dogs do not intimidate me, having tons of energy myself. Athletic by nature, the more active the dog, the more fun for me. That said, there is nothing wrong with a casual stroll at a slow pace with a chill pup tagging along. I am comfortable with special dietary requirements, I have personally cared for animals on raw diets, kibble, wet, supplements, etc. I am self employed, part time, so my availability is wide open. My self employment is completely flexible and can be done whenever time is available.

From the first message asking if Aaron was available to the last message of he was completing the last walk and treats of his scheduled time, Aaron was awesome. He was timely, consistent, he communicated throughout the scheduled times, sent pictures of the dogs and the dogs seemed to enjoy Aaron. This was my first time using the Rover app and I will def be using Aaron again for my future bookings.

Safety, trust & environment

I am very receptive to individualized care for the individual pet. I can just as easily be focused and playing with the animal(s) for hours as I can sit and read a book while an older dog rests peacefully. I try to be attentive to what the situation calls for and what the pet might be seeming to signal that it needs. Love being the backbone of any interaction, I try to live by the golden rule.

Information Aaron M. would like to know about your pet

Feel free to tell me as much as you'd like about how to care for your pet specifically! Wether it has special needs for health reasons or just because you love to spoil your beloved pet, I am happy to do my best to accomodate. Family is important after all!

A typical day

I am very open to new suggestions! I enjoy a good game of fetch or a trip to the dog park as much as any one! If the dog likes to run more than walk, I have plenty of practice roller skating and skate boarding with dogs. This way they can run until their heart's content. I also have training in swedish massage on humans which I enjoy putting to use on receptive animals. It's not for all of them, but most seem to love it!

I am a student at UNF. Before or after classes are great times for me to get a little exercise by playing with amazing animals. I dont have a 40 hour week being a student so plenty of time available.
