I basically grew up on a farm...

Pet care experience

I have experience caring for my own dog, Max, growing up. He was an energetic, three-legged, rottweiler-border collie mix who was full of character. His disability gave me special experience caring for dogs who might want to play all day, but are unable to do so. Caring for other people's dogs came naturally after that. I have cared for elderly dogs who just want tummy rubs and encouragement going outside, dogs who shake with anxiety and want a calm, nurturing presence to feel safe around, small dogs who just need to be played with to let some energy out like any bigger dog. Specifically, I have experience with labs, Chihuahuas, sheepdogs, dachshunds, Greyhounds, German Shepards, and collies. I prefer caring for large dogs. I love reading so if your dog just needs some company and pets while you're away, I can spend time curled up on the couch with them! I also love hiking and taking walks in the woods. If your dog is comfortable in the woods and has a favorite path that is nearby, I would love to go on an adventure with them. I also have experience with goats, chickens, cats, fish, rabbits, etc.!

Ari is an amazing person who connected immediately to Seamus ( and to me-:) Ari is punctual and consistent and always concerned about the welfare of the dog. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ari to take care of your pooch. I was sad when Ari's stint with me was finished and hope for a quick return!

Ari is such a friendly and compassionate person. Theia loves her walks with Ari and I'm very lucky to have such a reliable and kind person to give my puppy her exercise. Ari is very responsive and I highly recommend to anyone and everyone!

I've had Ari watch my two dogs, a very energetic chihuahua and a very nervous greyhound, a few times and have nothing but praise. If Ari had any questions they had no hesitation to get in touch with me to check for the answer and both of my dogs love when they come to dog sit. I am a dog trainer as well and I always ask people to have my dogs sit before they come into the house and Ari immediately asked what my hand signal for sit was so they could remain consistent with my own training and be less confusing to the dogs. Ari also was able to stay overnight with my dogs on short notice when I had a family emergency and couldn't take the dogs with me, even dropping the chihuahua off and picking him up from the doggie daycare the next day for me. Ari cares about the dogs' and owners' comfort levels and has always been professional and timely; whenever I've needed someone to watch my pups Ari is the first one I ask.

Ari is BY FAR the best dog sitter we have had. I have twin mini-dachshunds who, let's just say, aren't trainable, and don't love everyone! Ari is wonderful with them: instinctive, kind, firm and clear. They adore Ari, I'm so thrilled. It's also great to have a dog sitter who will give baths, medicine, walks, vigorous fetch/frisbee/rope-tug sessions, and cuddles with endless patience and enthusiasm.

Information Ari S. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know the dog's temperament and size before I meet them. If they are prone to jumping or biting, I want to work with the owner to figure out how best to guide their behavior towards play and what techniques work best with each dog's personality to mitigate disruptive behavior.
