Pet care experience
Need a place to bring your pet that will feel almost like home? My goal is always to make sure your dog is as excited to arrive here as they are when you pick them up. Let’s be honest, it’s my dogs’ house and I just live in it. I am an apprentice dog trainer and work from home full time. My days are focused on caring for and working with dogs. Your pup will have my full attention during their time with me. What can your dog expect with me? - Positive reinforcement only. - Room to roam. I have a fully fenced yard that is escape proof from above or below. - Friends to play with, or ignore. I group and supervise all play. Our time is structured so everyone gets an opportunity to be outside off leash in whatever way they are comfortable. - Structured days with enrichment and engagement throughout. - Comfy places to lounge. We’ve got dog beds EVERYWHERE and room for more. - Exciting places to walk. I live near the greenbelt and Freeman Park so all walks are in beautiful spots with lots to see and smell. - Kind and considerate care. Every dog gets dedicated time daily for pets and snuggles. Equal division of time and attention is priority. - Supervision by a knowledgeable person. I work very hard to get to know your pup and read their body language to ensure they are comfortable and worry free. - Reinforcement of boundaries to ensure a safe environment. - Adaptions to fit your pups needs and routines. If your dog finds comfort in a crate or their own space, I will ensure that is provided. If your dog is fearful of confinement crates are not used and a comfortable spot for them is designated. I promise to never try to make your dog love me more than you, but I will work hard to be their second favorite! Whether in my home or in yours I will adapt to your dogs needs, provide lots of loving attention, and be quality company while you are away.
Reviews
Harley comes home happy and stress free when he stays with Ari. It’s so nice to be able to leave town and know he’s being well cared for!
Ari was amazing. She stayed in contact with us and sent pictures and video clips of our puppies and daily updates. I would definitely take my dogs there again and recommend her services. Thanks for your loving care Ari !!!
Ari was so sweet and didn’t mind at all that we had a last minute need for doggy care. She was really good about observing how comfortable our small Maisie was around the big dogs and kept her comfortably away from the bigger dogs for as long as she wanted. Maisie came back happy and not stressed even tho we left her there for several hours. Thanks also for sending pictures periodically. We will see you next time we are in town!
Harley was happy and well cared for. Thank you, Ari! I appreciated all the pictures and videos. Harley transitioned back home without any of the terrible stress he had when boarded at our vet. Thanks for giving him so much love and attention.

Safety, trust & environment
Every pet that comes to stay at my home is able to maintain a routine as close to their home as possible. Every visitor gets a designated spot or area they can retreat to if they don’t want interaction. Otherwise there is free access inside and out to the fenced backyard. I work hard to ensure everyone is comfortable and leaves excited to come back.

Information Ari L. would like to know about your pet
Any info on: Behaviors, Allergies, Medications, Energy levels, Commands or reinforcement I should be using, etc. I like to know how best to mimic your routine or keep interactions consistent.
A typical day
Structure is important to me throughout the day with the pets I watch. Each and every point of excitement and activity is followed by a time for rest. This allows me to have dedicated time with each pet and adjust to comfort levels. Our favorite activities include: - Solo or paired walks. - Brain games to compliment physical activity. Examples: hide and seek with treats or toys; snuffle or lick mats; kibble wrapped in a towel. - Fetch, tug, and flirt pole in the back yard. - Free dog playtime.
