Highlights
Pet care experience
Denver Hiker & Dog Lover
Hello! I'm Ari. I'm a Geology graduate and a business analyst in tech. I have two cats, Milo and Juniper who are complete opposites. one is a ham and the other is shy. I grew up with dogs and they make my days better. I'm a former outdoor guide and a current triathlete, so I'm comfortable with any level of activity. Your pup can come on a run, a long walk, or just hang out. I'm a Wilderness First Responder and certified in first aid, CPR, and EpiPen. I follow care instructions exactly as given, including medication timing and feeding routines. I provide 24/7 supervision and take last-minute bookings. Pick-up and drop-off available for an additional charge. Please reach out with any questions. Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment
I'm warm and welcoming, and I think dogs pick up on that. I go at their pace and let them get comfortable before anything else. Safety is my first priority, then their emotional wellbeing. In a client's home, I stick to whatever routine is already in place. Same walk times, same feeding schedule, same spots on the couch if that's allowed. Dogs settle faster when nothing changes. I leave the place how I found it and send photo updates so you know how things are going. I introduce slowly, give them their own space to retreat to, and don't force interaction.
Ratings and reviews
Ariana was fantastic! I wasn’t able to give much notice since my cat got surgery unexpectedly and needed oversight while I was at work. She still agreed to cat sit and was so attentive to my post-surgery cat and gave me a lot of updates! I don’t know what I would’ve done without her help.
Ariana is a wonderful dog sitter. She watched my two dogs for me a couple of weekends ago and treated them like her own. I received photos and videos of her walking and playing with them daily and it made it easier not taking them with me. I highly recommend her, especially since she could put up with my extremely hyper Aussie without getting fed up.
Ariana is passionate about animals and gives them more attention then anyone I have ever met. My dogs are very well taken care of when she has them.

Schedule
My schedule is flexible right now, so pet care fits into most of my day rather than around a fixed work block. I'm home for the majority of the day, which means I can do midday walks, drop-ins, and longer stays without rushing. I train most mornings, so early walks and runs are easy to build into what I'm already doing. Afternoons and evenings are open for visits, feeding, and hanging out. I can take last-minute bookings and I'm available on weekends.

- As mentioned above, safety is my number one priority. Tell me any specifics you can about your dog, i.e. how well they get along with others or if they have any specific triggers.
