Calm & Patient 1-on-1 Care

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Carina, I go by Ari. I’m 36 years old, reliable, and passionate about providing personalized, 1-on-1 care for dogs, especially those who need a little extra attention. Whether they’re anxious, senior, recovering from surgery, or just have quirky personalities, I specialize in making sure each pup feels safe and at ease. I'm Red Cross PET CPR Certified and prioritize safety with every single client. I focus on creating a calm, low-stress environment where your dog can thrive. They’ll get all the attention they need—whether it’s walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a peaceful space. I limit my care to just one dog at a time (unless they’re siblings), so your dog will have my undivided attention the entire time. I’ll also send regular updates and pictures so you can stay connected and know how they’re doing. I believe in treating every dog with kindness and respect, avoiding methods like yanking or yelling. My goal is to ensure both your pup and I are comfortable, which often means limiting interactions with strangers, both human and canine. Your dog's well-being is my top priority, and I aim to make sure they feel secure and loved while you're away.
 Looking forward to meeting your lil one!

Ari is EXCEPTIONAL!!! We have a VERY uncomfortable 11 yr old pup and do not ever leave her alone. She warmed up to Ari extremely fast. Her communication was excellent. You can instantly tell her love for pups (animals) Couldn’t be happier finding her on this App. We will absolutely be using her in the future and are thrilled with the peace of mind knowing our pup is in incredible hands ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ari is fantastic! They are extremely communicative and passionate about their work. We are looking forward to having them as a repeat sitter, and I couldn’t recommend them enough to care for your fur babies!

Ari was absolutely exceptional with Venus and Killian! From the very beginning, communication was prompt, clear, and so reassuring. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos from their walks! Both of them came home so happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Ari took the time to give them attention, love, and a great experience. I would 100% trust Ari again and highly recommend to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring with their pets. Thank you again!
