Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Caring for pets in a client's home requires a thoughtful and personalized approach, ensuring that the pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved in their familiar environment. Here are the key aspects of my pet care service in a client's home: 1. Pre-sitting consultation: Before the pet sitting begins, I schedule a meet-and-greet session with the client and their pets. This allows me to understand the pet's personality, routines, and any special needs or preferences. It also gives the client an opportunity to communicate their expectations and provide instructions regarding their home and pet care. (This can take place over zoom, FaceTime, etc. if necessary in urgent/last minute situations) 2. Maintaining routines: Pets thrive on consistency, so I make it a priority to follow their established routines as closely as possible. This includes feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific rituals the pet enjoys. By maintaining their usual schedule, I help minimize stress and ensure the pet feels comfortable and secure in their home. 3. Exercise and mental stimulation: I ensure that the pets receive adequate exercise and mental stimulation during my visits. This includes walks, playtime, and engaging activities such as puzzle toys or interactive games. Providing mental and physical stimulation helps keep pets happy and well-adjusted while their owners are away. 4. Medication and special care: If a pet requires medication or has specific health needs, I administer the necessary treatments according to the client's instructions. I also pay close attention to any changes in the pet's behavior or health and promptly communicate any concerns to the client. 5. Cleanliness and home maintenance: While caring for pets in a client's home, I also take responsibility for maintaining a clean and tidy environment. This includes cleaning up after the pets, washing food and water bowls, and ensuring that any pet-related messes are properly addressed. 6. Security and safety: I prioritize the safety and security of both the pets and the client's home. I ensure that all doors and windows are locked and follow any specific security protocols provided by the client. Additionally, I am vigilant about the pets' safety during walks, playtime, and other activities. 7. Regular updates: To keep clients informed and reassured, I provide regular updates on their pets' well-being and activities. This includes sending photos, videos, and messages, allowing the client to stay connected to their pets while they are away. By following these guidelines, I am able to provide exceptional care for pets in their own homes, ensuring that they remain comfortable, happy, and safe while their owners are away. Disclaimer: Dependent on location where service is rendered there may be an additional charge of 5 dollars for mileage. Disclaimer: I have one assistant who helps me with walks occasionally as I work on growing my business and taking on more clients. They are a trusted employee of mine & will provide the same quality of service as I do. Upon booking with me that certifies that you are ok with potentially having my assistant conduct your dog walk (only applies to walks). Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns pertaining to this.
Ratings and reviews
Areana always takes excellent care of our pets - cat and dog - when we’re away, and always leaves our house in great shape! We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a pet sitter/walker they can trust.
I would recommend Areana to all of my friends in need of pet care! She did a wonderful job and I trust her with my cats 100%!
Areana has been absolutely amazing with my pup Chloe! She has done overnights, drop ins and walks and each time she has gone above and beyond for Chloe. Chloe has health issues and she is a reactive dog. Areana was very attentive to all her needs and communicated with me frequently. I would recommend Areana to anyone in need of someone to care for their fur babies!
Did a great job with our dog Nutmeg. Stayed the night with her to help with her anxiety. Responsive and communicative!
Areana did a great job watching our senior English Bulldog. She provided lots of timely updates and asked questions when needed. She was kind and genuinely enjoyed spending time with our girl and it showed in the quality of care.
Areana was the best! I have two senior dogs, and she has taken care of them twice for me now. They are so well cared for, and Areana sends frequent updates and daily photos. Areana is very responsible regarding their meds, walking, and play time. Will definitely hire her again, and highly recommended!

Schedule
Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, as I have designed my schedule to accommodate the needs of the pets I look after. With open availability, I can easily adapt to the specific requirements of each pet and their owners. 1. Morning and evening routines: My day typically begins with morning walks and feeding sessions for the pets in my care. Similarly, I ensure that the pets receive ample exercise and attention in the evenings, followed by their dinner and bedtime routines. These consistent routines help the pets feel secure and comfortable, even when their owners are away. 2. Midday check-ins and exercise: Depending on the needs of each pet, I can also provide midday check-ins and walks, ensuring that they receive adequate exercise, mental stimulation, and companionship throughout the day. These visits can be particularly beneficial for pets with higher energy levels or specific medical needs. 3. Time management and organization: To ensure that pet care remains a priority in my schedule, I utilize time management tools and techniques to efficiently balance my personal and professional commitments. This includes maintaining a detailed calendar, setting reminders for important tasks, and regularly updating pet owners on my availability. 4. Continuous learning and growth: Pet care is not only a part of my daily routine, but also an opportunity for ongoing learning and professional development. I actively seek out resources, such as articles, webinars, and workshops, to stay current on best practices in pet care and enhance my skills as a pet sitter. By incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine, I can provide the dedicated attention and consistent care that pets require to feel safe and happy in their temporary home away from home.
