Fun, safe, and quality pet care!

Pet care experience

Hello! I am Ariana and have been a pet lover my whole life. I am a biologist and enjoy all kinds of outdoor activities in my free time. I currently own two very active pups - Moose, a hound mix, and Alia, a lab/retriever. We go on adventures every day - we enjoy runs, hikes, mountain biking, and swimming. I will care for your pets as if they are my own and provide plenty of exercise, love, and friendly play and, most importantly, keep them safe and comfortable. I am comfortable working with any size, age, and obedience level and am a calm leader with my dogs and client dogs. I am comfortable and able to take care of a variety of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, and horses. Do you have a fearful, nervous, or reactive dog? No worries! Enjoy stress free care for your reactive dog. I personally own a dog that is fearful/nervous and used to be reactive - I trained him through his reactivity to now being more confident and neutral. I understand how stressful it can be to travel or have new handlers for your reactive dog. I am experienced in training and working with reactive dogs and will take great care to handle and care for your pup to maintain consistency in training and handling. I also understand how individual each dog's needs are and will follow your instructions to make their experience calm, comfortable, and safe. I am also experienced in managing multi-dog households and managing social interactions with pets and emphasize calm leadership. I am currently not taking new client recurring weekly bookings. Contact me if I can help take care of your furry friends!

Ariana has been amazing! We have had her take care of the animals a few times now. Upon the first visit my dogs loved her immediately! (Sometimes one is standoffish at first). She communicates often and sends photos, asks questions when needed and gives us multiple daily updates! She seems extremely responsible and dependable and I trust she will take care of my babies when we are away! Highly recommended 🥰

Safety, trust & environment

Safety of your pets is my #1 priority! I understand the importance of trust in caring for your pets - I will always keep pets safe and secure. I have experience working with fearful and reactive dogs and am skilled in reading doggie body language to understand their emotional state in order to keep them safe and comfortable. I always introduce myself to new pets, including cats and dogs, with neutrality and give them as much time and space as they need to warm up and feel comfortable. I will also maintain any training, house rules, and boundaries that you have set for your pets.

Information Ariana H. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed or age preferences and am comfortable working large or small dogs and young puppies as well as cats, small animals, chickens, or large animals. Please let me know if your pet has any health or dietary considerations, their favorite treats/food and activities, any training challenges they face, and their comfortability with other people and pets. Let me know if you have particular routines or handling instructions for your dog when on walks or engaging in play.

A typical day

When caring for your dog, I will do my best to make sure they have a fun, comfortable, and safe time while you are away. I would be happy to take your dog on any outdoor/indoor adventure that they would enjoy. I often take dogs on walks and runs around their neighborhood, but really love to get out in nature! We can go on hikes or trail runs/walks or play at a local park. I always provide plenty of water and can also provide food or treats depending on the owner's instructions. I am also happy to spend time at your home or yard for those pups who enjoy staying at home. If you have cats, I will spend time with them playing games, cuddling, or any other activity your cat enjoys.
