Aaron was FANTASTIC with our critters! We were scrambling a bit short notice when my partner and I both had to be away the same week for work, and Aaron was a lifesaver. We’d done a meet and greet prior, so I had no issues with booking Aaron quickly, knowing he was so great with our pets. Our dog was spoiled with daily long walks and lots of cuddles, and it was so awesome to get regular text and photo updates from Aaron throughout the day. We have already booked him again, and are so grateful that we have such a reliable and fun pet sitter to rely on!

Aaron is flexible, responsive and was very attentive to my home and pups. I will absolutely have him back to watch my girls in the future.

Aaron is professional and took good care of our energetic lab murphy for 3 days. We were able to spend time away from home without any worries. Thanks so much Aaron for taking care of Murphy and our home while we were gone. Would love to connect with him again in future when we need sitting services.

Aaron did a great job taking care of our 2 giant fur babies, our home and our plants! He provided updates and pictures and I felt secure that everything was well taken care of while we were away for 5 days. We came home to happy dogs, a clean house and peace of mind! I would happily hire him again next time we go away.

Schedule

I am self employed with a very flexible schedule. Last minute house sitting stays are my specialty. I typically prefer minimum 2-3 day bookings for locations that are over 50km away from me but if you're curious just shoot me a message and we can see what works.

Safety, trust & environment

I am a confident and physically strong leash handler. Recognizing dog body language (particularly with excitable or reactive dogs) and being proactive is key (Dogs, like us, don't need to say hi to everyone that crosses their paths). Red Cross Pet CPR certified. I am happy to administer any medications they may need while you are gone.

A typical day

Is your dog a couch potato? Maybe it needs multiple 30 minute walks? They're the boss (I work for you, but they're really in charge). I try and mimic your schedule with them as much as possible so they can remain happy and relaxed while you're gone.
