Information Ariana K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there's something I require to be aware of about behavior, preferences, special needs, etc, and I will easily accommodate. I'm going to ensure that they have the best possible vacation!

A typical day

I encourage ball games and zoomies in the yard... Walking around the neighborhood will have lots of new smells and stimulate their mental body. There's forest trails nearby or the dog park is less than 1/2 mile away. What to bring: food and treats, slow-feeder food bowl, toys, bed (if they use it), poo bags, brush (if your pet enjoys gentle brushing, I'll do that, too).

Pet care experience

I'm honored to be around dogs (I think it's pretty amazing they feel to be with us!) They embody unconditional love and joy, and it's absolutely infectious! I will care for yours, like my own (and spoil them like a trip to grandma's, yet with no people food, lol!) They will enter a clean, calm, quiet dog sanctuary 🐾 with a large yard to explore. What's different about me is that I only host 1 pet at a time (or 2 from the same family), along with my dog, Yogi. There's plenty of individualized attention, toy engagement, and affection. We're playing with toys on the floor. I'm giving belly rubs and massage, or cuddling and petting on the couch. I'll love them up❣ They can expect a good amount of outdoor time-yard exploring, zoomies and games, or walks in the neighborhood/forest trails, or the dog park (on agreement). I've had relationships with dogs the majority of my life and very comfortable with any type of breed...small or large, it matters not.

Ariana was very responsive during our trip planning, and was prepared for us when we arrived. She went over and beyond sending photos and checking in while we were away, and responding promptly when I had questions. This was our first time leaving our dog with someone we didn't know well, and it made a difference to work with someone who had strong communication, and who acted like they genuinely cared for our dog, who is a member of our family.

Ariana was able to make my dream Come true of having my little Bonnie attend my wedding ceremony and then picked up and boarded the rest of the night. Her calm and loving disposition made Bonnie feel right at home after a very very exciting day. Highly recommended

Ariana took great care of Ella! Ella can be a bit nervous and takes time to warm up, especially in new places. Ariana (and Yogi) gave Ella the space she needed to get comfortable, and Ella was giving them kisses by the end of the weekend!
