Treating your fur babies as my own!

Pet care experience

I've had pitbulls for a majority of my life growing up since I was a baby, and currently own a 3 year-old XL American Bully and 12 year-old Imperial Shih Tzu since they were both puppies! I used to walk both daily, but my Shih Tzu recently went fully blind 6 months ago, so I mainly walk my bully only now and occasionally my shih tzu but in a bag 'cause I think he needs to be out and he enjoys the feeling the air and scents! I have patience for anything, anyone and of any size. I've given medication too to pets so if that's needed, I can definitely do it ! :)

Ran a little late but dogs seemed satisfied with their walk.

Ari has been my pets' caretaker for the last decade. My 2 dogs get so excited when Ari is present. Ari is very compassionate, loving, respectful and responsible. I believe any pet is in good hands when it comes to the loving care brought from Ari and the patience involved, such an awesome person.

Ari has cared for my two little fur babies while I'm away. I have cameras so I can watch my adorable babies, and Ari is always either playing or cuddling them. He always feeds them on time and walks them as scheduled. And when they spend the night they always make sure to clean up after themselves and my babies. I honestly don't know who loves Ari more of me or my doggos.

Personally, with my shih tzu since he's blind, I help him maneuver most of the time by picking him up and also teaching him certain words and phrases so I know when he's hungry, thirsty or needs to use the restroom, I can just ask him and help guide him. I feed my dogs twice a day daily, morning and night and take my shih tzu to the restroom every 4 hours at least. I also walk my Bully and/or play with him everyday for an hour, and also change his water bowl 4 times a day.

Information Ari S. would like to know about your pet

Please leave me a list if you have any special time request, medication, food measurements, anything! I'll do my best to take care of them as precise as possible!

A typical day

I like being active, so if your dog like to play a lot and is active, I'll be sure to keep up with them! I also like walking around and going to parks for fresh air and to also let my dogs socialize whether that's with other dogs or humans.

I currently do not work or go to school, so I am available most times to dog sit, dog walk or give potty breaks. This fits perfectly in my schedule because I am looking to begin working again, but need something more independent and I'm interested in pursuing animal care for schooling in the future, so this would be a great learning opportunity for me to be around different breeds!
