Great experience with AJ! The daily updates gave me peace of mind, and the whole process was easy and straightforward.

Aj was communicative and patient with my dog, who was recently rescued from the street and is shy and scared. However, she only stayed the full half hour once and I wanted my pets to get a chance to just be around someone and have some contact. My cat hid when she was there, which is why I was hoping she'd hang out after taking Mara out and give him a chance to come out and get some pets. She also left my light on the whole week and one of the treat containers open on the table, where Marshmallow could get into it, and a big container of food in Mara's crate, even though I specified the amount that Mara gets (twice a day and less because she is small). These were all small things but they added up. Overall, I know that Mara is kind of difficult because she's scared of everything but I was hoping for a bit more love and care of both pets.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large apartment that is easily subdivided to separate pets for chill time. We have play space, can crate, and can create a separate dog room. Pets are never given human food, but have consistent fresh water. Great sensitivity is given to temperature and texture of the ground to protect your pups paws. Each dog has their own energy level and exercise requirements, and we will tailor your dog's walks to their personal fitness.

Pets

A typical day

I start with exercise before the heat kicks in, either a long walk or bike ride, and get poops out early, between 8 and 11. Typically second potty is between 1-3, and after that I do public access training or task training. As the evening cools, we go out a third time, from 5-8.

Aj X can host up to 2 pets per night
I love all pups, and will start as they come! We would prefer to know what tricks you would like to reinforce most, and what problem behaviors your pet may have. Special needs, including medical, can be accommodated as long as I am informed beforehand.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
