Availability

As a stay-at-home mom, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I am home most of the day. This allows me to provide consistent attention, feeding, walks, and playtime throughout the day rather than rushing around a fixed schedule. I can easily adjust my routine to meet each pet’s needs and make sure they receive reliable care.

Information Ariana R. would like to know about your pet

Because I have young children and a cat, I like to know a little about guest doggies before accepting reservations. My questions are as follows: - Is your pet current with vaccinations? - Is your pet spayed/neutered? - What is your pets temperament like? Is he/she used to being around other dogs and cats? - What is your pets typical daily life/schedule like when at home? - Does your pet and special diet needs?

A typical day

I’m home most of the day, so pets get plenty of one-on-one attention and playtime to help them feel comfortable and loved. I focus on keeping each pet engaged, relaxed, and well cared for. Depending on the weather, we can enjoy walks, explore outside, or simply unwind and spend quality time together.

Pet care experience

As a sitter, my dedication to maintaining each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific care instructions from the owner. I try my best to tailor each visit to each animals personality and needs. At my house, there will always be fresh water, a clean and safe environment, and plenty of attention so pets feel comfortable and loved! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including senior pets and those with special needs, which has grown my patience and attentiveness to adapt care as needed. I also have an 11-year-old Manx cat who is social and comfortable around dogs.

Ariana was so great with our dog, he was truly sad to leave when we came back from our vacation. She was very accommodating to match his usual routine and provides daily updates with pictures

Ariana is amazing and truly an animal lover! We needed a sitter for our two medium‑large mixed male dogs, and she made time for a meet‑and‑greet before our trip to make sure our boys would get along with her cat (the chillest cat ever!) and to show us around. She was very flexible with timing and quick to respond. As I walked her through all of our dogs quirks, she picked things up right away — you can tell she has tons of experience. While we were away, Ariana sent consistent updates every morning and afternoon, always with the best pictures. Our family was busy nonstop on vacation, so I couldn’t always reply right away, but she still kept the updates coming. Her messages and photos were the highlight of our day and always made us stop for a moment to laugh at the stories she shared. She set a great routine for the dogs and let us know she made sure they were tired out before bedtime. They got plenty of playtime, and she even gave them with treats and delicious food toppers. Our older dog (8 years old) had some separation anxiety the first night, and Ariana immediately asked for suggestions and offered thoughtful ideas of her own. By the end of the week, he was doing so much better. Ariana mentioned she’s been dog‑sitting for a long time, and it definitely shows. I think our older dog was practically asking her to let him back inside her house when we picked them up! She even sent them home with goodie bags — they got so excited when they smelled them, almost like they knew they were from her! They had a great vacation too! 😁 We’re truly grateful for Ariana!!

Ariana was amazing, kept me very informed, entertained and spoiled my dog to the point I felt like Koda was on 1 vacation and I was on another. Looking forward to setting dates for the next vacation so my pup can go back and visit.

Ariana was absolutely amazing with my 2 dogs. She kept me updated on how they were doing and sent daily pictures. She bonded with them and treated them like her own. I will definitely be using her again and I highly recommend her. She went out of her way to make sure they were comfortable and happy. It gave me great peace of mind to know they were in good hands.
