Can’t spell guarantee without Ara!❤

I have been interested in dogs and animal behavior for as long as I can remember. I love learning about every animal and customizing each experience to be an enjoyable one. My home is equipped with everything needed for anything your pet might require. I have gathered quite the collection of treats, medicines, brushes, toys, and anything else you can think of. I managed an animal rescue/boarding facility and I have worked at 2 different dog hotels. I have experience in many different types of behaviors as well as different emergencies and problem solving. I have pictured my husband, because he does live at my home with me, and may be involved with your pets. He grew up around dogs as well and loves to get dirty and play with them.

Ara was very helpful, great communication, and fit us in last minute. The dogs seemed very happy after their time with her. Thank you!

I'd never left Luca before, and was pretty anxious about doing so. He's a rescue dog, and I was told he is very reactive to other dogs (and had seen that on our own outings) and needs to be a one dog household. Ara assured me that he could have his own space if he and her dog didn't get along. After some initial wariness on Luca's part, he and Ara's dog played well together. Ara's experience and confidence in working with anxious, overstimulated, and reactive dogs is so reassuring. I know that I have a safe, comfortable environment where Luca can thrive when I need it. I will definitely bring Luca back!

Ara clearly loves dogs, she was so sweet and patient with my 7 month old puppy. He’s a lot. She was really quick to respond and easy to communicate with.

She was able to do a last minute booking for our 2 dogs, and she was great! Good communication and she sent us some really cute pics of the pups.
