Active dogs are happy dogs
Pet care experience
My focus in dog care is providing exercise services and education on the benefits and diversity of ways to get your pups the exercise they need. I have two siberian huskies, Toki (4 years) and Kima (8 months) as well as a german shepherd/border collie mix named Leeloo (5 years). Toki and I spend time together doing pulling sports including bikejoring and canicross (running with a pulling harness). I'm so excited for Kima to join us when she's full grown! I'm passionate about both running and dogs and being able to run with my dogs is a truly bonding experience. My goal is to help other loving dog owners creatively find ways to get their pups the exercise they need, whether that means that I visit your pup regularly for exercise sessions or I help you and your pup find an enjoyable way to exercise together. Either way this will enhance your relationship with your dog, since well exercised dogs are better behaved, more content and healthier all around.

Great communication & my dog was happy. Thanks so much!
We had a great experience with Arielle and Karl - we dropped our pup off for a 5-day stay while we were out of town, and he came back tired and happy. Because Arielle and Karl can keep a few dogs at a time - in addition to their own - our dog had plenty of new friends to run and play with (a key criteria for our high energy dog!). Arielle and Karl have a great outdoor space, and were always incredibly communicative when we sent updates or questions. Thank you!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I love getting to know new dogs and am educated in dog behavior which allows me to understand a dog more quickly than average. My favorite book on dog behavior is The Other End of the Leash, by Dr. Patricia . I encourage every dog lover to pick it up!

A typical day
I can provide leashed dog walks in your neighborhood or on a wooded hike, play fetch with your dog, bike or run with your dog - there are so many options! Together we'll find the best way to get your dog the exercise they need.
