Not trustworthy. My dog has severe anxiety around other dogs. Ari agreed to sit my dog at a property with no other dogs, but moved my dog to a property were there was another big dog without letting me know. This was the most important requirement, and she violated my trust. My dog came back to me really anxious and acting strange. I booked over a month in advance and I confirmed multiple times that there would be no other dogs or to give me a few days notice if there was so I could make alternate arrangements. The night before my booking, Ari told me she got another booking with a larger dog. She told me she would ensure they didn’t have any contact, but that wasn’t an option as my dog becomes distressed even when he’s in the same space as other dogs. As a solution, she told me she could sit Ducky at her family’s house nearby where no dogs would be present. I agreed to this arrangement. After the sit, I discovered that Ari had taken Ducky back to her original house where the bigger dog was staying. She did not notify me of this. She chose to bring my dog back into an uncomfortable situation despite how much I communicated this would distress Ducky. She defended this choice saying that the dogs did not have any contact - but I had mentioned before the sit that even being in the same space was not ok. She also did not follow feeding instructions and overfed Ducky. When I got Ducky back, he was incredibly anxious and has been acting strange ever since. He also vomited. This has never happened with other sitters. It’s been heartbreaking for me to know Ducky was put in a distressing situation I tried to avoid and to see him so anxious after the sit. I put my trust in this sitter, but that trust was violated and our most important wishes were not followed.

Ari was great, so sweet to our little puppy. He had a great time playing in her yard and going on adventures to the pet store. We really appreciated her open line of communication and friendly, caring vibe. Thanks Ari!
