Pet care experience

Pet sitter in uptown Manhattan 🐾

My pet care experience began in 2022 when I helped care for and raise my grandmother’s domestic shorthair cat, whom I still treat like my own. Before 2022, I grew up caring for family dogs, gaining experience with handling, grooming, and caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Since 2023, I have volunteered at the ASPCA, where I’ve learned from animal care professionals about providing animals with patience, compassion, attention, and consistent routines. I now try to bring these experiences to pet sitting, intending to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and like family while in my care.

Ariana is totally sweet and kind. She treated my pup like her own and part of family. She listened and understood some my concerns and to do list. Ariana kept my pup at ease and active. Though apartment not big but it is spacious. She also has nephew and niece live with partly, which was great. More play times and company for my pup. She also was great with communication and keeping me updated. Also sent me pictures and I appreciated that she ask and notify me when taking in another pup. Ariana one to trust!

Schedule

Hi, and welcome! I’m Ariana, and I’m a part-time dog handler at a doggy daycare, but decided to start pet sitting in 2024 to expand my skills and experiences to help more fur babies thrive! I’m available Monday–Friday with weekends off, giving me a flexible schedule for pet care. My job is also aware that I do pet sitting, so I can always let them know if I need to make any arrangements with my shifts to match your pet’s routine. If anything, feel free to review my calendar for more details on my availability. ¡También hablo algo de español!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a small apartment, but I will ensure it’s spacious, clean, and pet-friendly, ready for your pet’s arrival so they can be comfortable, with enough space to play, run, and sleep anywhere they like. I also live with family, including my two younger siblings, aka my two little active helpers, who make sure to be gentle, patient, attentive, and willing to always give me a hand with your pet so they’re never alone or bored.

A typical day

First things first: keep your pet’s instructions and routines on hand at all times so I can follow them accordingly. While with me, your pet will also receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection throughout their stay. My neighborhood is pet-friendly, with parks and dog-friendly spaces nearby perfect for long dog walks. I’ll also make use of any toys you provide for them to keep them entertained indoors. If you allow it, pets are also welcome to relax on my bed with a bed cover on for extra snuggles and cuddles. Throughout it all, I’ll try to keep you updated through Rover with daily photos and videos so you can always see how your fur baby is doing!

The #1 priority I have is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, happy, and stress-free. Before or during their stay, please share any important information about their routine, feeding schedule, behavior, medications, health needs, preferences, or anything else that will help me provide the best care possible.
