I'll love your pup like my own!
Pet care experience
I've trained my two dogs from puppyhood. I have helped raise and foster rescues of birds, squirrels, kittens and pups. I've been in care of friend's and family's dogs of many breeds from Chihuahuas to Mastiffs. I'm crazy about my fur babies and would love to get to know yours! I host a raw food drop at my place in South East Portland with North Coast Pastures. The knowledge and support of Brea and Isaac have been made it possible for me to be able to transition my dogs to raw and we love it! Natural health and holistic care are super important to me. If you are interested in trying raw or taking advantage of a local drop location I highly recommend checking them out @northcoastpastures At my house we love to play enrichment games, tug or toss, go out walking or to head over to the dog park near by. If it's bad weather we move the furniture and make room for indoor fun! And we always have a comfy cushion or lap for cuddling up! I'm super flexible and laid back and I'd be happy to follow and pup specific instructions. I'll prefer to do a meet and greet with our pups at the near by park or on the street. We have an 8 year old in the house who loves dogs but also understands boundaries. For everyone's safety I ask visiting pups should be friendly or tolerant with friendly kids!
Reviews
Ari takes great care of our dog, Lucy, for doggy day care and boarding. She’s so thoughtful and attentive, and Lucy always comes home tired and happy. Ari sends tons of pics and updates and is such a pleasure to work with in general. She clearly cares a lot about Lucy, as if she were part of her own pack :) Highly recommend!
Ari is literally the best! One of my dogs is a rescue, yet she made my dog feel at home. The other one is a puppy with way too much energy, yet it was no problem for her. This girl is amazing at what she does, takes the time to actually be there for you pups. She sends lots of pictures, so through out the day you cannot stop smiling. Literally the pictures puts your mind at ease, always knowing you pets are safe and having fun!
ari was so kind + easy to communicate with. she + her family were all wonderful both to me + to my pup. our meet + greet really helped my dog (often shy at first) warm up to her dogs + they played great. ari sent update photos + about what their interaction was like during their stay + we did a check in after about what works best specific to our dogs + their schedule. very easy to work with + just real people. definitely recommend :)
I’ve known Ari for about 8 years now and I can tell you she has a lot of love for animals and their well-being. I have seen her care and give lots of love to her own two dogs and I’ve entrusted her with the care of my three dogs on multiple occasions. If you are looking for a caring, kind and responsible person to look after your furry friends she is definitely your gal.

I have a fenced back yard for potty breaks and play. I'd be happy to use a crate if that's what your pet needs. Our pups are allowed on the furniture so if it's cool with you, your pup is welcome! I have a 9 yr old low energy dog and an 11 month high energy pup so I can accommodate to whatever your pup needs. Both in house dogs are females but the pup is still intact so I can't accept intact males at this time.
Information Ari L. would like to know about your pet
Please tell me as much detail about your dog so I can be super prepared to make everyone's experience the most comfortable. Please let me know things like... What are your dogs favorite activities? Are there are any favorite spots for cuddles and scratches? What are your pet's likes and dislikes? What command words do you use? Health related concerns to be aware of? Allergies or food aversions? Does your dog have any behavioral traits or quirks?
A typical day
We play find and seek with favorite toys, tug of war, the shell game with treats, we do puzzles and reinforce training and tricks! We go on neighborhood walks and Brentwood dog park if it isn't too muddy.
