Your baby will always feel loved!
Pet care experience
I have been a dog walker/sitter for 6+ years. I now have two pups of my very own, a ferret, and aquatic pets! Safe to say, I am very well versed with interacting and caring for multiple animals. I take the time to plan and confirm the smallest details from favorite toy to that random spot on the back of your dog's leg. From scheduling to caring, it's my job to be sure that your loved one is cared for and you have peace of mind knowing they're getting all the love and cuddles! I also provide treat training for commands, assist with potty training, and giving oral medications to your pets! Below are specific details so please make sure to read the following: *Allergies to cats: Please let me know if you have any cats. I've had previous clients who had both cats and dogs present in the household and had no allergic reactions. If you DO require services for your cat like refilling their water and food, we can discuss pricing.
Reviews
Aiko was wonderful and very caring. I felt very at ease knowing she was caring for our pups! Very attentive and gave good feedback and updates on our pups. She took excellent care of our pups! We will definitely use her again!
What a wonderful experience. Aiko was so professional and very personable and the dogs adored her. I was kept up to date at every visit and she also sent pictures. I will definitely use Aiko again!!
Took great care of our senior dog! Even when he wouldn't eat or go outside, she made sure he was comfortable and encouraged him.
Very friendly, caring and accommodating. Definitely going with her next time we're out of town
About Aiko V.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Patience is key. I have multiple furbabies and I take my time in making sure everyone gets along and can feel relaxed. That being said, there was a lot of training involved, which meant lots of patience and encouragement to gain trust and a bond. With your baby, I want to be sure he or she feels comfortable in my home and with us in general. I will take it step by step to make sure they feel safe and at home. No yell or aggression in this household!
Information Aiko V. would like to know about your pet
All dogs are wonderful so I personally do not have any breed preferences! Please tell me what your dog's personality is like! (Shy/quiet, hyper/active, distant/scared, etc...) It is very important that I know and can accomodate to his or her needs. If your dog is hyper and jumps on people or is scared of loud noises/certain objects, please let me know so I can also prepare with some helpful tricks or treats to make things easy for them! If your dog has any medical needs or certain quirks (likes certain toys, picky eater, keeps to a routine, teething, barking), let me know so we can come up with plans to have him or her happy while you're away! Number one concern is how happy he or she is and to reassure you that your baby is well taken care of! *Please let me know what you would like to do if there is a weather issue (rain, thunder, etc). *If you have specific times or routines for your dog, please specify so we can be on the same pageand I can make note of it!
A typical day
There will be lots of cuddling, belly rubs, and power naps involved! With my two dogs, we do a mix of playtime, treat training, and relaxation. We can go on a walk, play catch, or be couch potatoes together!
