Ratings and reviews
Ari is so reliable and wonderful. He loves our girl and she loves him! I highly recommend working with Ari.
Thank you Ari! You're the best!
I'm so thankful Ari is available to walk my Cozmo!
Ari is great! On time, easy for my skittish dog to accept, and flexible for my weird schedule! Thank you, Ari!
Ari was great! On short notice he made time for a meet and greet with a slightly fearful doggo, then later breezed through Cozmo's skittish greeting at walk time, to complete a great little trip around the neighborhood. He sent updates each day with pictures of them on their travels, which made me feel better about the whole thing. Really nice guy, flexible and accommodating. Highly recommend. :)
Excellent job!

Schedule
Wether I’m with my daycare pups, or taking another pup out for an evening stroll, I’m with dogs pretty much all day, every day. Mondays to Thursdays are my busiest days, with more availability and flexibility Fridays through Sundays. Evening walks/drop-ins (after 8pm) can usually be accommodated any day of the week. Even if the App is showing me as away/unavailable, feel free to shoot me a message anyways. I may still be able to accommodate you! NOTE: I tend to avoid most of Lacey/Hawks Prairie, as it takes a bit too long for me to go back and forth from westside Olympia.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Daycare & Boardings: I live in an apartment and use my upstairs/living room area as the main space for the dogs. Plenty of toys to play with, and things to lay on. I don’t mind dogs being on my couch, but can keep them off if you’re trying to curb that. I have a baby-gate to keep the dogs from running to the front door, and as an extra barrier for any “escape artists” or runners. I’ve got a grassy area in front for quick potty breaks, but also have trails and trees for walks and shade. Walks: I keep a dual-leash in the car for ease. If you’ve got a pair of dogs that walk well together, I tend to use that. Of course I can skip that if preferred. I always avoid any other dogs on walks, just for safety’s sake. I’ve got experience with nearly all leash types, so there shouldn’t be any issues using your leashes.
A typical day
Walks at of the numerous parks, lakes or rivers in Thurston County. Maybe a hike somewhere if your dog is up for that sort of thing. Local trails are always nice and usually close and accessible.
