Highlights
Pet care experience
Befriending shy animals since 1989
**current full-time student at The Krenov School of Fine Woodworking, inquire for availability.** My roommates joke that it seems like I can talk to cats—or as my girlfriend likes to put it, “Are you sure you’re not autistic?” If kind, loving, focused care is what you desire for your favorite canine or feline, I might be just the sitter for you. Petsitting has been my side-hustle for over two decades. I’m a regular volunteer at the Mendocino Coast Humane Society as a dog walker, and growing up I worked closely with Canine Support Teams, a training organization of fully licensed support dogs.

Safety, trust & environment
As a general rule, I avoid all situations where common safety issues could arise, regardless of whether or not the animal has exhibited any prior issues (for instance, no dog parks unless specifically requested). CLIENT PEACE OF MIND IS MY #1 PRIORITY, as many photos and videos as it takes. Of the 10,000 photos on my phone, probably 9,500 of them are other people’s pets.
Ratings and reviews
Aaron is the best! I get pictures of all the happy animals every time he visits. And, the animals are really comfortable with Aaron after just a few visits.
Fantastic again! Will be booking for the holidays
Aaron is fantastic. Going to book with him here again.
Aaron was wonderful! Reliable, punctual. We felt at ease leaving our cat in his care!
Aaron is wonderful with my shy rescue dog. She feels safe and comfortable with him and he prioritizes her well being in every way. We are so lucky to know him!
Aaron is clearly really experienced with rescue dogs with personality quirks, like mine. He went out of his way to step in to care for Starry while we went to my mother in law’s funeral; they had a lovely afternoon, and we could honor her worry free. Despite not being a dog owner his car is all set up for safe excursions with dogs because he volunteers with a shelter, so I felt really safe having Starry venture out with him. Would hire him again in a second!
