Expert dog lover
Pet care experience
I am a veterinary technician working in shelter med, I majored in Psychology in school and was a pre-vet student for 2 years. I currently own 3 cats and a pittie mix all rescued and have owned many dogs and other animals when growing up and was a member of 4-H as a child. I'm extremely interested in animal behavior which is basically the best of both worlds for me. I spent two years at an animal hospital in Warren where I worked in the kennel/boarding area. We provided doggie daycare and I truly loved all of the dogs. My grandfather used to run a veterinary clinic before moving to Maine and rehabilitating wildlife, he taught me a lot about how to care for animals. I enjoy building personal relationships with dogs and love meeting new dogs on campus(especially when their owners are surprised their dogs love me enough to bring me a branch). I currently own 2 cats as well as a mixed breed dog and had four dogs growing up. I will take so many pictures of your dog(s) for you, it's honestly one of my favorite things to do. I have experience with getting even the most stubborn of dogs(and cats) to take their pills, and know how to give insulin to those who are diabetic. I am capable of assisting elderly dogs with limited mobility with moving around and always have lots of love and care to give.

Awesome time again dog sitting from aiko for with our now two pups over a week while we were away! We have a crazy 1.5 year old dog and she helped with training her while we were away. And also caring for our older dog who has cancer and giving him lots of snuggles! Thanks so much!!
Aiko was an amazing dog and house sitter while we were away for the week. Our dog needed medications and she had no problem giving medications, sent lots of pictures, communicated very quickly and kept the house clean and tidy. She clearly loves dogs, is experienced, and was so kind and played sooo much with our pup. She even bought two new dog toys for our dog which are his favorites now. Cannot recommend her enough! Thanks Aiko!
Aiko is the best and took perfect care of our old pup.
Very sweet with the pet

I do not have any breed preferences and prefer to know of any quirks your pet may have so I know how to properly care for them. I also like to bw informed of any treats that are not allowed well as any allergies.
A typical day
Walks everywhere! Dog parks, regular parks, doggie dates. Belly rubs to the max.I tend to spoil dogs(if allowed) with toys and will play fetch until my arm is sore.

I work full time at an animal clinic for one of the local shelters as a vet tech. I work 4 10 hour shifts and am off both Saturday and Sunday as well as holidays and one day during the week. I have an hour and a half lunch break which I utilize for checking in on animals. I also am able to occasionally bring animals in to work as long as the schedule at work allows for it.
