Pet care experience

student & dog mom <3

I’ve been around dogs my entire life! All sizes, ages, and care levels. We had a rescue while I was growing up so I’ve delt with anything from dumped hunting dogs to aggressive or old dogs that people felt they couldn’t care for. I’ve worked at two different dog boarding kennels and have volunteered at multiple shelters. No dogs scare me off whether it be size or behavior. I have my own pup with me at college and am using this to make a little extra money on the side of university and my other job to support my pup as he is getting old :) My number one job right now is schoolwork. I do prioritize this over my jobs. However, dogs are my stress relief, so I do very much enjoy spending time with them! I am willing to work around my schedule for what works best for you and your pup (or other animal) !

Safety, trust & environment

I ensure their safety as my #1 priority, making sure to always think of what is best for them. I am also very focused on making sure the pup has enough stimulation whether it be physically with walking or emotionally with training or treat puzzles.

We are so grateful to have Araya around to watch our boy for us! She takes the best pictures of him which is always so nice when we’re away. We’ve booked with her multiple times now and are always happy!

Schedule

I’m taking care of my own dog everyday, but he doesn’t walk much anymore. I enjoy taking daily walks and would love to have your pup as a walking buddy! I am a student as well, so care/walking times must be in between my class schedule.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Araya can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
What makes your dog unique? I’m always open to any tips or tricks to help make your pup the happiest it can be! I also appreciate knowing general temperament and if they have anything that triggers any behaviors for them. Allergies are another thing that is good to know, as I may have treats with me and do not want to have any allergic reactions happening.
