Pet care experience

I love all animals! LGBTQAI+!

I’m comfortable with all animals. I can’t remember a day in my life without a pet. I have volunteered in rehabilitation of fighting dogs, have trained many puppies, have trained ESA animals. I like signal training and helping dogs learn basic commands and discipline by learning their motivations and energy. I have had pets with special needs ranging from eyesight loss to hearing loss (and both) to epilepsy to needing medications to simply enjoying the golden years.

Safety, trust & environment

My fur babies have access to all furniture and spaces. I have gates to separate certain areas of my home if needed. I’m comfortable with complying owner rules for their babies, furniture, and household. All of my animals are on a fairly regular feeding and exercise schedule that also align with their medication times.

AJ is an excellent communicator, reliably sticks to the agreed-upon schedule, sends photos at every visit, and is well liked by our two kitties! I highly recommend.

AJ is fantastic! Took perfect care of our fur babies and our home! I’ve never before come home after vacation when pet sitter stayed and found the house cleaner then I left it! We are not slobs, but AJ left no trace! I am thrilled to have AJ as a resource every time we travel. Best pet sitter ever!

What an absolute privilege it was to have Aj help care for my Lola. Aj is so kind, patient, and willing to accommodate needs at a moment's notice. I could not have asked for more!

With my experience as an EMT, I’m comfortable with giving medications, orally or injection. If your baby needs medications, please let me know the correct dosage and how they tolerate it (do they need treats before or after? Do they try to avoid medication administration? Etc.). If your pet has stress or separation anxiety, what is the preferred method of soothing them? (Longer walks, more cuddles, setting music on, etc.)
