My husband Trevor and I both work from home, so we have lots of flexibility to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. Pet care fits perfectly into our routine — we love taking breaks to go on walks, play, and spend quality time with pups. Having a dog around makes our days even better!

Safety, trust & environment

In our home, we make sure pets feel safe, loved, and part of the family. We follow their normal routines as closely as possible — from feeding schedules to favorite activities — and give lots of playtime, walks, and snuggles. We create a calm, cozy environment where they can relax, and we always keep a close eye on them to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. If we’re caring for pets in a client’s home, we treat it with the same respect and care, making sure their pup feels secure and sticking to their usual routines to help them feel at ease.

Information Ariadne W. would like to know about your pet

To make sure we provide the best care possible, it’s helpful for us to know a few things about your pet ahead of time. Please let us know about any specific routines, feeding schedules, medical needs, or behavior quirks your dog has. We’d also love to hear about their favorite activities, toys, and if they have any anxiety or allergies we should be aware of. The more details you share, the better we can make their stay with us as comfortable and enjoyable as possible!

A typical day

A typical day with us is full of playtime, walks, potty breaks, and lots of love! We start the day with a nice walk to burn off some energy, followed by plenty of play and attention. We make sure to take regular potty breaks throughout the day, so your dog stays comfortable and happy. There’s also plenty of time for cuddles, toy play, and practicing basic training if needed. We’ll make sure your pup gets all the love and care they need while you’re away, and we finish the day with some calm hangout time to wind down.

Warm Care, Happy Pets!

Pet care experience

My husband Trevor, and I both grew up with dogs, and they’ve always been a huge part of our lives. Right now, we don’t have a dog of our own, which makes getting to care for your pets even more meaningful to us. We truly treat every dog we watch like part of our family, with lots of playtime, cuddles, and individual attention. Whether your pup loves to go on long walks, prefers cozy naps, or needs a little extra patience and care, we’re happy to meet them exactly where they are. We’re both very comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who might need a gentler pace. Growing up around many different breeds taught us to be attentive to each dog’s unique needs — whether that’s sticking to a specific routine, giving medication, helping with basic training, or just providing a safe, loving environment while you’re away. Our goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and cared for, just like they would at home. We know how important it is to trust the person taking care of your pet, and we don’t take that responsibility lightly. You can relax knowing your pup will be treated with the same love and attention we’d give our own.

Ariadne and her husband were amazing with Millie! Millie is dog reactive and also scared of storms, but they did a great job of understand her needs and making her feel comfortable. Would highly recommend

Ariadne and her husband Trevor watched my dog Cusco for a super long trip, 19 days! They took very good care of him, providing updates and pictures frequently. Cusco came back happy and healthy. Highly recommend!
