As a retired veteran now attending college, I have the flexibility and discipline to provide reliable pet care throughout the day. My schedule allows me to give pets the consistent attention, exercise, and companionship they need without being rushed. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply keeping your pets company, I’m able to fit their routines into mine with ease. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving owners peace of mind.

A typical day

A Typical Day with Me 🐾 Your dog’s day will be full of attention, structure, and fun! I like to keep a balance between activity, mental stimulation, and relaxation so every pup feels comfortable and cared for. Morning We start the day with a potty break and a walk to get energy out and explore. After that, it’s breakfast time (following your dog’s normal routine), then some light play or enrichment like toys or basic training exercises. Midday This is a mix of playtime and downtime. Depending on your dog’s personality, we’ll do things like fetch, tug-of-war, or go for another walk. I also include mental stimulation like puzzle toys or practicing simple commands. Then it’s time to relax and recharge. Afternoon More outdoor time, whether that’s a walk, backyard play, or just soaking up some fresh air. I make sure your dog stays active but not overwhelmed. Evening Dinner (if applicable), followed by a calm walk and wind-down time. Lots of cuddles, attention, and a relaxed environment so your dog feels at home. Extras Plenty of potty breaks throughout the day Fresh water always available Medication administration if needed Updates and photos so you know how your pup is doing Every dog is different, so I adjust the day based on their energy level, age, and needs. My goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐶

Aaron was able to help care for my pet cat Queso for about 6 months. And with in that time my cat was quickly able to trust him and get close to him. Which was amazing to see since she was already a skittish cat. I know if I would ever need his assistance again I would rest easy knowing she would be in caring and loving hands.

Aaron did an AMAZING job watching my *four* dogs while my husband and I were out of town overnight. Managing one dog can be a lot, but handling four…. WOW! Really impressed my husband and I. He kept us updated, made sure each dog was well cared for and gave them all the attention they needed. I came home to happy, relaxed pups and everything just as I left it. Aaron gave us real peace of mind knowing the babies were in such good hands. I’d absolutely trust Aaron again and highly recommend him to anyone needing a reliable and caring pet sitter 💯
