animal whisperer with a farm cat
Pet care experience
I got my first dog (Dobby) when I was a child, and have loved dogs since. I am always happy to take my friends' dogs out for walks or take care of their pets while they are gone. I am obsessed with cats and could spend all day with them. I had a cat with behavioral issues and have lots of sympathy, tolerance, and love for them. I graduated from Reed College before getting involved in the agriculture industry in the Corvallis and Philomath area. I found a 2 week old kitten on a farm during 2020 and have raised him like a dog, following me everywhere, but he won't come with me to walk your dog or care for your kitty. I have been managing a garden on Molokai for the past year and just returned to Oregon. Take a chance on me so that I can build my profile!
Reviews
Aiko did a wonderful job house/pet sitting for us for a two-week stretch. We highly recommend her.
Super chill and nice! Sent awesome photos of my two furballs every day so I could relax a bit when I was out of state.
We all just LOVE Aiko - couldn't have asked for a better communicator (friendly, kind, intentional, consistent, thoughtful) and lover of our needy and qweeenie pitbull for nearly daily walks and enrichment. Olive lives Aiko, and your pup will too. You will NOT regret reaching out. Thank you Aiko!!!!
Aiko did a fabulous job watching my two dogs. They each have very different needs and she tended to them wonderfully. I got pictures and updates. I came home to happy dogs and my home in great shape. Definitely recommend.
About Aiko G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a relaxed demeanor that makes it so animals seem to always trust me or take interest in me right away. I know how to “speak their language” and play their games so that I don't come on too strong. I like to slowly build trust with them and love the process of getting to know a new animal without words.
Information Aiko G. would like to know about your pet
It's good to know if they have allergies or food sensitivities since I carry treats with me. Also good to know what words you use with them most often, and if they like to bolt out doors or have any quirks.
A typical day
I like taking advantages of all the trails around Corvallis, especially Willamette Park, Bald Hill, and Mary's River Park. I also enjoy long walks around town! I am open to where you most often like to take your dog, at least at first. For cats, I can hang around them until they come to me and see how they would like to interact.

Availability
One of my main hobbies is walking and running especially in Corvallis which is what made me pursue dog walking. I have lots of availability throughout the week until I begin a job this summer. I would love to visit, get to know, and spend time with your dog or cat as often as you would like!
