Jodie & Aaron can care for
Availability
Pet care is a regular part of our daily lives! Between my flexible work schedule and my son Aaron’s opposite hours, one of us is almost always available for walks, drop-ins, or cuddles. We both genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits easily and naturally into our routines — it’s something we look forward to every day.

About Jodie & Aaron K.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
We currently provide care in your home, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar space. While we’ve occasionally hosted cats and dogs for short visits, we have two resident cats who can get a little stressed with new animals. We’re gradually helping them adjust to more visitors because our goal is to eventually open our home for boarding once everyone feels safe and settled. For now, we focus on giving your pets loving, reliable care in their own environment — and we’re always open to discussing future options once we’ve gotten to know each other and your pets’ needs.
Information Jodie & Aaron K. would like to know about your pet
We like to know as much as possible to keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable. Please share any details about their personality, routines, favorite activities, and how they like to be approached. It’s also helpful to know about medical conditions, medications, allergies, fears (like loud noises or other animals), or any behaviors to watch for. The more we know ahead of time, the better we can make sure your pets feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.
A typical day
Every pet has their own personality, so we always start with your instructions — what they enjoy, what comforts them, and how to best warm up to them. Once we know their routine, we make sure they get the care and attention they’re used to. A typical visit might include a walk or playtime, feeding, fresh water, brushing, or simply sitting together for company and affection. We love getting to know each pet’s quirks and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. Our goal is simple: happy pets, peace of mind for you, and a visit that feels like family stopped by.

Reliable Mother–Son Pet Care Team
Pet care experience
Hi, we’re Jodie and Aaron — your reliable mother–son pet care team! We share our home with two cats and still miss our beloved dogs, so we’d love the chance to shower yours with affection. We both have a lifelong love for animals and opposite schedules, which means someone is almost always available to care for your pets. We offer drop-in visits starting at $12 and dog walks starting at $15. Jodie is a lifelong dog (and cat) lover who’s cared for pups at every life stage — from playful puppies to gentle seniors and those with special needs or medication routines. Growing up surrounded by animals, she’s seen it all and knows how to keep dogs happy, comfortable, and loved. Aaron (19) has a calm, confident presence and a truly special connection with dogs — they seem to love him instantly. He’s also experienced with other pets like snakes, rats, and fish, and is always eager to learn more. Dogs tend to warm up to us quickly, and we treat every one like family. Whether you need a long walk, a drop-in visit, or just someone to give your dog a little extra love while you’re away, we’re here to help. We follow your pup’s routines to keep them safe, comfortable, and stress-free. We’d love to meet you and your dog — let’s make sure your best friend is happy, loved, and thriving while you’re away!

Reviews
Jodie was great with our little fella. She took him for a walk and played with him.
Jodie and Aaron were very accommodating. They were kind and helpful. The dogs were very tired out when we came home! Would recommend 😊
With gratitude and appreciation for Jodie and Aaron, pet sitters who were kind, caring, and trustworthy while we were away after a move, Our multi-pet household with five dogs and two cats. The fact that Jodie was a "familiar face, Finding reliable and compassionate pet care is a huge relief for pet owners, especially during a stressful life change like moving to a new house. The trust we have in Jodie and Aaron is the most important part of the relationship. This trust provides invaluable peace of mind while you're away.
Jodie has walked my dog Zeke and provided daytime visits as well as overnight stays while I traveled for work. My dog is high energy and requires a lot of attention and Jodie has always been so patient and loving to my dog. She is a very kind and caring pet sitter and absolutely loves animals. Additionally, Jodie is incredibly trustworthy and very dependable. I would highly recommend using Jodie to care for your pets!
