Hey there! I am Ariana, and I have grown up with all sorts of pets, from different dogs to birds, to fish. We'd often rescue animals when they were lost or injured until they found a home while caring for my own pets as well. This lifestyle has lead me to take care of my friends pets while they were away and now to Rover! I now focus on gaining the trust of pets and ensure that they feel safe in my care. I am a dancer in LA and spend most of my time at the studio in the greater LA area or in my neighborhood. For sitting I can stay at your place, or I'm happy to have my clients stay with me as well, however we do have another dog here. Whatever works best! Plus I live near a great park! I can guarantee you that your pet will recieve very special and respectful care from me as I truly believe in the importance of treating animals with love and kindness. I am pretty flexible as long as we communicate together on what is needed for your doggie. When visiting my client's home, I like to first communicate with the owners to learn about the needs of my clients, the rules, schedule, and what kind of activity is needed to ensure my client has a good time! I have a lot of patience and listening skills for doggies that are still learning social cues, and are still getting trained, or may even be a bit socially anxious. I never push animals if they are not ready, but i do enjoy offering guidance if needed. I always consider my surroundings and instill grounding when taking care of younger/less trained dogs.
