Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Aj was wonderful with my pup, and was very communicative. Highly recommend!!
Great communication and timely.
AJ has been a great communicator and really appreciate his flexibility!
Aj was really good, I could tell he cared for my cats very well. He also stayed some extra time, which he didn't have to. That is immensely appreciated
Great communication and our dog was very happy upon our return! Would definitely recommend!
This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous but my overall experience was positive with AJ. We have a 1 year old mixed breed dog that is very playful and happy around pretty much everyone. We met in a park near AJ’s home and he was promptly on time and communicated well. I asked several questions about the plan for the day and everything seemed reasonable to me. For me personally I just wanted someone that would keep my dog active and happy for the afternoon, also sneak in the occasional nap is okay too. When the day was over we met in the park again and (on time) and my dog was happy to see me. Thumbs up!

Safety, trust & environment

Pets
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.
