Highlights
Pet care experience
Lover of all animals!
Since 2015, I’ve fostered 3 cats (1 kitten, 2 palliative care), 1 small dog (chihuahua mix), 1 large puppy (boxer mix), and now I co-own a mini schnauzer named Zoro with my partner Andrew. I am comfortable with providing a range of services including bathing, administering medication, teaching new tricks, and socializing animals within a friendly and safe environment.

In my home I have a mini schnauzer so I am limiting my services to drop-ins and walks for now unless your pet wants a play-mate! If this is your first time booking through Rover, feel free to use this discount code to get $20 off! Discount code: ARIY81007
Ratings and reviews
Ari was able to accommodate our request for drop-in visits to our cat on a very short notice. She followed the instructions closely, was very gentle and attentive to our shy kitty, and shared detailed updates and pictures from the visits so we never felt worried. Thank you so much!

Thanks to Ari my two cats were taken care of while my 10 days of vacation. Ari was very flexible on schedules and she made sure photos were provided for each visit. During meet and greet she took note of additional instructions and followed up accordingly.


We asked Ari to take care of our cat, Loki, while we were away for the weekend, including administering his meds. We would highly recommend her! She was punctual, did everything we asked of her, and sent lots of pics! She was also easy to communicate with, with fast responses. Will definitely reach out to Ari again the next time we're out of town.

Ari was amazing! She is really organized and took a note while i was explaining the process. My cat loved her instantly. I highly recommend her.

Best pet sitter ever! Ariana looked after our two cats while we took several trips. She was exquisitely reliable--very punctual when arriving for key pickups etc.; detail-oriented when learning about our elaborate raw food feeding routines; and sent plenty of lovely pictures to assure us that our cats were happy and well cared for! Most importantly, we could tell how much she loved our cats! And, our cats could tell too. For example, one of our cats, Lucy, is very particular about people. With most cat sitters, she will stick just enough of her head out from under our bed to eat dinner and then scurry away. We were shocked when Ariana sent a video of her petting (a very affectionate) Lucy on her first visit. We've worked with many pet sitters, and Ariana is the only one Lucy warmed up to this quickly! I also know that Ariana has fostered many animals (cats and dogs). I believe that, through this experience, she has developed a real talent for quickly befriending any furry critter. Also, by caring for some higher-need animals in her fostering, she also knows how to handle more challenging situations, like with older pets and those who have medical needs. Ariana also can be trusted to look after your home. On each of our trips, we returned to a condo that was cleaner than how we had left it! I can't recomend her highlight enough!!
