This was my second time booking Ariana for home visits for my kitten. She was great, following all instructions and communicating. She always plays with Asher a lot and cuddles him. Highly recommend!

Ariana was fantastic with my kitten! She went above and beyond to make sure that everything I wanted was taken care of. She kept in contact whenever I had instructions & questions as well as when I wanted updates. I was very nervous about leaving my kitten for the first time and she was kind & understanding.

Ariana has always been a person that has come to my mind when I was looking for someone to care for my dogs. I currently have two dogs, a 35lb mixed breed (likely corgi, shepherd and pit mix) named Piper, and a 13lb dachshund terrier mix named Winston. I have also had a 60lb lab named Cleo and a 8lb pappipoo named Holly, who unfortunately have both passed away now, that Ariana also had experience with in the past. Holly, towards the end of her life, was medically and physically fragile, which didn't scare Ariana away. She was willing to care for her and meet her needs despite her health concerns. My two current dogs are both rescues with more extreme needs than your typical dogs. Piper has separation anxiety and Winston has more generalized anxiety that presents prominently around strangers. Both take medication. From the moment she met both of them, she connected with them. I would describe Piper as being very needy in the sense that she wants constant attention. This includes wanting to sit on your lap, be pet constantly, and be played with. Ariana immediately began interacting with her without hesitating, taking the time to speak to her in a calm voice and making sure she was comfortable. When meeting Winston, he was very stand-offish and hiding behind furniture. She very patiently gave him space and waited for him to approach her. He quickly warmed up to her. I have never thought twice about leaving my dogs in Ariana's care. She is able to give them their medication (a pill inside cheese, which they take easily) with no concerns. In addition to meeting their more personalized needs, Ariana excels at meeting their basic needs, including feeding, playtime and exercise. Without a doubt, Ariana is an excellent choice to care for your dog.

My dogs absolutely love Ariana! The first time we utilized Ariana's services was when our normal dog sitter was out of town and we are so happy we did! Our dogs Jack and Lilo had the best time staying with Ariana. We received many photo updates of the dogs playing and on many walks throughout the Brookline/Allston area. Ariana gave each dog unlimited attention and so many pets and affection. Ariana's rates are competitive and her service is outstanding. If you would like to leave your dogs with ease and know they'll have a great time I would certainly suggest utilizing her services!

My dog, Dinosaur, is an 11 year old pomeranian chihuahua who doesn't often warm up quickly to strangers. However, when I was in a pinch and really needed someone to care for him when I needed to go on a last-minute trip, Ariana came through: I admit, I was nervous both for her sake and Dinosaurs, but much to my surprise, he took to her immediately! He went right up to her looking for rubs as if they'd known each other for a lifetime! I felt better leaving him in her care then, and she was sure to keep me updated throughout the evening - she fed him, walked him, and exceeded my expectations (which were high!) with her level of care. When I returned the next day, everything was in perfect order: Dinosaur's water and food bowls were freshly filled and he was perfectly happy. Words cannot express how grateful I am for Ariana caring for my dog - I highly recommend her!
