Information Aj D. would like to know about your pet
***Please be aware that I add a $20 cost adjustment for last-minute bookings that are requested less than 24-hours before the start time. Together you & I can come up with a plan to keep your pets comfortable in your absence. I’m capable of providing care for pets that require higher levels of care on an as needed basis. I strongly prefer to meet you & your pet(s) in-person either in public, or your home before confirming a booking. I strongly prefer to have a hard-copy of relevant information I might need in case of an emergency: -pets medical diagnosis’ -special care instructions -allergies -dietary needs - behaviors of note -veterinarian information -Back up emergency contact -Pet insurance information
A typical day
I’m always willing to collaborate on a detailed care plan based on the individual needs of your pet. At the moment, I have a decent home w/ a backyard. I will fill our day with plenty of walks, car rides, & outside time. Clear Lake & Mason City has a large, fenced & well-maintained public dog park. There are separate areas designated for agility training, big dogs, small dogs, and a courtyard for safe entry & egress. I promise to be best buds with your best buds, and treat them just like they’re my own.

Reviews
The gentleman was quick to respond to the booking request, which I appreciated because it was nearly last minute. However, during the meet and greet he informed me that he's not available during one of two daily drop-in visits I needed during short absence. I've decided to modify the booking rather than cancel it. For the second of three drop-ins he posted a photo from a previous day, no narrative, and did not indicate that my cats had any breaks. The gentleman later stated he was ill, but I would have appreciated this information before, not after, since there were living creatures depending on his care. I was anxious about whether he would be able to make the third drop-in visit. After coming back I inquired as to when I can receive my house keys back, and was met with radio silence, purportedly due to intermittent Internet access. While I'm willing to entertain the idea that "life happens" vis-a-vis these unexpected events, I prefer more reliability in my pet sitter. I hope AJ is OK, but I don't think I will be re-booking with him.
I hope we have the opportunity to have Aj watch over our dogs again.He was very accommodating and so kind. Much appreciated.
Aj was wonderful with my pup, and was very communicative. Highly recommend!!
Great communication and timely.
