I CARE so you don't have to
Pet care experience
I have 15 years of combined experience of caring, attending, and loving dogs. Ari comes from a forever-dog-family where we always had a dog growing up. From Scottish Terriers to Labs to Yorkies, Ari has nutured dogs throughout her lifetime and continnues to grow her love for dogs everyday. Dogs have remained a consistent presence in Ari's life and have offered guidance, support, and unconditional love. It’s only fair that we return the favor… and then some! I do your basic feeding, walking, bathing, and so forth, but most importantly I care. I care, nuture, attend, and LOVE dogs so you can be 100% certain that when your dog is here, they're truly in loving and caring hands. I know we've had a successful visit when fur-parents remain worry-free and when our canine friends get lots of outside time and love.
Reviews
Ari was great with my doggies and left the home as it was! I am sure my doggies are looking forward to Ari watching them again soon.
Our dogs love going to see Ari and Ame and their huge backyard.
What can I say, the babies absolutely loved it there. I wasn't sure they wanted to leave. Thank you both for caring 💓 for them and sending the dope pics and videos. We will definitely be back
I left Sophie with Ari and Ame again for 2 nights, and again, I could tell she was well taken care of and happy. I received lots of photos and videos, and could see she loved playing with the other dogs there, especially Marshall, Ari and Ame's dog. They even did the transfer for me from another sitter, since the other sitter couldn't keep Sophie for the whole duration of my trip, and I really appreciate that! Thanks!

Safety, trust & environment
Living quarters are cozy: fur-parents are welcome and invited to tour indoors! Although the apartment may be cozy, we have a HUGE fenced yard where we spend 50-60% of our day. No question that your dog will get a great deal of fresh air, sun, and playtime (and if permitting, TREATS)! We currently have a 2.5-year-old Beagle, Marshall, who has nudged us in taking the leap to officialize Dog-Day-Care and Sitter services. As our gatekeeper, we ask that your dog have a meet and greet with our Marshall to ensure all is in good company and to ensure we can create a safe space for your fur-kids. We also encourage sharing any directions, preferences, training behaviors, commands with us so we can ensure consistency with your fur-kid and apply the same practices and behaviors at home, here.
Home
Information Ariana S. would like to know about your pet
General personality, typical behaviors, and triggers (dogs on leash, squirrels, etc), is where we usually will start. We want to get a thorough understanding of your dog, how they behave, and how we can support you in caring for your dog. We are diligent about following instructions from parents and request that all details- whether it be a favorite toy or a treat to avoid- are shared in advance.
A typical day
Lake Artemesia, Greenbelt Park, and neighborhood trails are just a few of the places we frequent with most dogs. Parents permitting, we also live down the street from Hollywood Dog Park and will walk dogs to the park. We also love to play "find-it" in the yard with treats, fetch, and tug-of-war, and have many puzzles and toys to stimulate your dog and keep your dog active. It's important we maintain a healthy lifestyle outdoors and even more important when we can exercise and play with the dogs we care for.

Availability
Ari works from home full-time, therefore timing is never an issue. Ari gets frequent breaks throughout the day and plans to bring dogs outside (weather permitting) for at least 30 minutes every 2 hours. It's important that dogs get ample time outdoors and time to release pent-up energy that can build up while inside. We request that drop-off and pick-up times are coordinated at least 24 hours in advance for scheduling purposes. We understand that life is unpredictable and will also be happy to accommodate last-minute requests. We'll be sure to communicate availability and maintain open lines of communication with fur-parents. We also will provide updates, photos, and progress per the request of the fur-parent. We are happy to do whatever it takes to alleviate the worry of dropping off your fur-kid to a new place and ensure that this is a worry-free experience so you can rest assured knowing the care and love of your dog is a high priority of ours.
