Dog Mom Helping Other Pet Parents

I’ve taken care of small, large, pups, and elderly dogs for years now. From owning them, to babysitting for friends/family, as well as finding strays and housing them until I found their families no matter how long it took! Some of these breeds include: Beagle, Yorkie, Cane Corso, Pitbull, Maltipoo, Jack-a-poo, etc. I’ve also owned a cat and have babysat cats for family/friends before! I’ve always owned at least 1 dog since I was a little girl. I currently own 2 :)

Aja is a wonderful sitter for our cats! She takes such good care of them and they love her! She is kind to them, takes great care with our home and keeps us updated regularly. We trust her and are very grateful for her!

Aja is wonderful! We gave her quite a challenge with multiple cats and she did a great job! She is kind, organized, and wonderful with our fur crew. We trust and highly recommend Aja. Thanks for everything and the kitties look forward to future visits with you!

Aja is an all-around perfect sitter! My dog, Tyson loves her and her dogs! The fact that at pickup, he goes to Aja to say bye before we leave lets me know he enjoys his stays.

Proactive, problem-solver and oh so gracious and accommodating. I recently moved on very short notice, house is a disorganized collection of boxes and wrapped furniture. Had another sitter who cancelled on me, but Aja stepped up to the challenge. Even brought her own supplies when we couldn't find ours in the house. Professional, friendly and the dogs seemed pretty impressed also. She's now my go to.

Excellent and gracious all around. I leave this truthful recommendation in hopes that she won't become too busy for us. 🙂

Aja is so nurturing, attentive, and responsive when caring for my boy, Tyson Beckford - 3yo, 14 lbs, Havaness. I've tried other sitters earlier on who were closer and cheaper, but you get what you pay for and having peace of mind is invaluable. My family love Aja boarding Tyson during our vacations throughout the year...we plan our trips around her availability. We can't say enough.

Safety, trust & environment

I will be sure to pay extra attention and care when following any and all instructions that you have for me while your pets are in my presence. Whatever your preferred routine is I will be sure to follow it. Including: play sessions, long walks, short walks, feeding, incorporating any training that you’ve been working on, etc. My main goal is for your fur babies to be safe and happy!

Pets

A typical day

To make sure that your dog is having the best time with me I will make sure to take them on brisk walks throughout the day. I have a big backyard that I can take them to, as well as a neighborhood to walk around and neighborhoods surrounding those just in case they need to go for a longer walk! I also have certain toys that I can use for dogs that visit and I will be sure to wash them between visits. I also own two small dogs, so if your dog is OK around other dogs then they would be the perfect company for yours. My dogs are extremely friendly and love other dogs. They’re very chill yet playful when they want to be!! However, you can request to keep them separated during your dogs stay as well.
