Heidi Jaegers Connor – Owner
My name is Heidi and I am the owner of Aja Pet Service. I grew up in Palm Beach Gardens and graduated from the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College of Florida Atlantic University located in Jupiter, Florida. I recently married Brendan Connor at the North Palm Beach Country Club in 2023 and welcomed him to the team! What can I say, I have solid roots in my community and I want to continue the family tradition of service above self. I created Aja Pet Service back in 2012, after realizing that there was an urgent need for trusted pet sitters in the area. I am so blessed that my passion became my career. Growing up I had all kinds of furry and scaly pets that I considered family members. (Horses, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, goats, rabbits, fish, snakes, iguanas, birds, etc.) Here at Aja Pet Service, LLC we love all kinds of animals and make sure that every pet receives the highest quality of care and attention. The goal is to absolutely spoil them! I have taken a hands on formal approach to hire, train, and yes… even TEST all of our team members (even my husband!) so our clients are sure to get the same impeccable service from our certified licensed and insured Aja Team Members.
Robbie Jaegers – Sitter
Hello I’m Robbie Jaegers! My sister, Heidi Jaegers, and I have had many animals throughout the years growing up in Palm Beach Gardens and now currently in Jupiter Farms. I served five years in the United States Navy as a sonar tech on submarines and lived in Virginia but Florida is my forever home. I enjoy spending time with my animals, volunteering with my church, and surfing. I currently live with two dogs (Franco & Toby), a cat (Luna), three chickens (Henrietta, Spot, & Freckles), one rooster (Russell Crowe), and my mom’s two horses (Snickers & Logan). I’m available for clients in northern Palm Beach County to Martin County for dog walks, pet visits as well as in home overnight pet sitting. Looking forward to serving you and helping you faithfully steward your animals!
Brendan Connor – Sitter
Hello, my name is Brendan Connor, Heidi’s husband. I grew up in Philadelphia, graduated in 2011 from the University of Pittsburgh with a bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience with a minor in chemistry and a, now expired, EMT license in PA. I grew up caddying and working in golf and right after college started caddying at Oakmont Country Club before working seasonally at The Loxahatchee Club in Jupiter and Merion Golf Club (from 2015-2019). I still work at the Loxahatchee Club where I’ve just finished my 11th season. In 2015 I joined Cedarbrook Country Club outside of Philadelphia where I still maintain a membership but Florida is my full time home with my beautiful wife, Heidi.
Teah – Sitter
Hi, I’m Teah Wooden and I’m thrilled to have been a part of Team Aja since 2018. Ever since I can remember, I’ve always had a love for pets. As a pet sitter, I’m grateful for the opportunity to share that love with your precious pets while you’re away. With years of experience in pet sitting and a genuine affection for animals, I’m committed to providing the best possible care for your furry family members. My goal is to ensure the happiness, health, and well-being of your pets while you’re apart, whether it’s keeping your pup company during walks or cuddling up with your kitty for some quality snuggle time. I pride myself on being dependable and detail-oriented, so that your pet receives the best care possible. I look forward to meeting you and your pack!
Kendra – Sitter
Hi I’m Kendra! I have always loved being around animals. I grew up with a variety of pets and as soon as I turned 18 I started volunteering at my local animal shelter. Later on I started working at PetSmart which sparked my interest in learning about different species and how to care for them. After reaching my goal of managing the Pet Care Department I left PetSmart and now work full time as a Veterinary Technician at an animal hospital, and plan on becoming a CVT soon! I have experience with dogs, cats, small animals, birds, and reptiles. My own animals include a pitty named Mabel, a kitty named Evie, and a Dutch rabbit Minnie. I have been working for Aja Pet since 2022 and love all the clients and their pets! I would be very happy to visit your fur babies and give them lots of love!

Hi my name is Anthony Corcione. I was born in New Jersey. I moved to Jupiter Florida when I was still a baby with family. I graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, Florida. After graduation I went into the mortgage industry, where I’ve spent the past 6 years of my life. Being a dog owner most of my life, I’ve always had a passion for taking care of animals and giving them the best time possible! It’s a dream come true being able to work with pets each and every day! I am currently available for visits as well as in home overnight pet sitting in Palm Beach County. I look forward to meeting you and working with you, providing a worry free pet experience whether it be when you are on a trip or at work and need a pet relief visit.

Caron – Sitter
Caron was a client before she became a sitter; but caring for fur babies has quickly become a favorite after-school activity! She has been a cat mom for more than 30 years. Caron is a teacher by day, and both her husband and daughter are equally fans of kitties of all ages and colors. Currently Caron is mom to Sasha, a long-haired Tortie whose greatest happiness is being brushed. Friends ask occasionally if they can please spend a day as one of the family’s cats!

My name is Arielle, I am 27 and originally from France. I do have a dog and a cat of my own and they are like my children. I graduated with a degree in graphic design and community management, while I was still living in France. I moved to the United States in 2019, where I studied English and business for 2 years at FAU. Then I worked as a manager in a popular family-owned cabinetry business.
