Pet care experience
I 💜 dogs! I care for yours, like my own. I've created a clean, calm dog sanctuary! (they're already stressed enough in a change of routine). 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, and I'm giving belly rubs and massage, or cuddling and petting on the couch. I'll love them up! ❣ Expect a good amount of outdoor time-yard exploring (very large space!), 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...

Reviews

Ariana was Amazing! She kept us updated with a lot of photos. Cortez was very happy when I picked him up!

This was our second time utilizing Ariana's overnight care for our dog. Just like the first time, Ariana was welcoming, warm, intuitive and communicative. We received daily photos and updates and was able to relax into our vacation knowing that our dog was in excellent hands. Ariana is the utmost professional and I highly recommend her for caring for animals.

A wonderful experience! We recently adopted a challenging rescue dog who needs lots of time to warm up to new people. I was anxious about finding a sitter who would be a good fit for her, but after our meet-and-greet Ariana was confident (and rightly so) that our dog would be comfortable with her and her dog Yogi. Ariana was patient and gave our dog the space she needed to feel at ease. By the end of the first day they were friends. Ariana was a pleasure to work with: responsible, communicative, knowledgeable, and patient. I got lots of pictures and my dog got lots of exercise and attention. Our dog came back home happy and comfortable - and with a positive experience making friends with a new person and a new dog. I can’t imagine a better experience.

Millie’s second time with Ariana! Highly recommend! Received many pictures during her stay! She always looked happy and very comfortable!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I'm very observant and stay aware of a dog's behavior, reactions, and body language. I notice e v e r y t h i n g, such as looking ahead on a walk to negate any potential issues, down to whether their elimination seems unusual or not.

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 experience!
A typical day
I encourage games and zoomies in the yard, by running with them... Just walking around the neighborhood will have lots of new smells. There's forest trails nearby or the dog park is less than 1/2 mile away. What to bring: food and treats, toys; balls, tugs, squeaks, bed, poo bags, food and water bowls, brush (if your pet enjoys gentle brushing, I'll do that, too).

Availability
I work part-time, mostly from home, so it's easy to maintain connection and give attention throughout the day, and offer what's needed at any time.
