Relaxed couple love new dog friends
Pet care experience
A lifelong dog lover, I have the patience and energy to take excellent care of your pup! I'm new to professional care, but have tons of experience with many breeds and temperaments, and have a loving, relaxed home. I'm comfortable with anxiety and other issues, and will give your dog lots of love and positive reinforcement, and will do my best to implement any training regimen you employ. I work from home! My silly dog and I are home all day, and she and any new friends have free access to the fenced yard via a magnetic screen door. We love walking around the neighborhood and local parks after work and on weekends, and I tend to take breaks outside to play for a few minutes at a time. Your dog will be safe and well cared for in our home! We have a large fenced yard in which to roam and dogs have free access to the outside throughout the day/evening whenever it's not too cold to keep the door open. When it is cold, I'm happy to let them in and out as often as needed, and we break for playtime throughout the day. Dogs are allowed on furniture and always have fresh, filtered water. We take daily walks and spend a little time working on positive training techniques.
Reviews
Ariana did a fabulous job. This was my first experience with a dog sitter and she made me feel confident that my pups would be well taken care of. They definitely were! This was a very positive experience.
Ariana was really patient with me and my pup, Peep, as I tried to find a good fit for a sitter when I went out of town. This was Peep's first overnight stay with unfamiliar people. Despite suffering an injury during Peep's stay, Ariana updated me with pictures of Peep playing in the lovely yard and having a good time with the other pooches. Ariana and her husband let the pups up on a gloriously huge couch and I appreciated that Peep had plenty of room to roam. Ariana was calm and comforting with Peep, and I felt I could trust them to give her the care she's used to. Peep was exhausted when I got back. I hope to use them again in the future. Thank you!
Ariana is the best! I was SO nervous leaving my new, timid, shy, submissive husky pup for the first time that I ugly cried after dropping her off. I was nervous about her interacting with so many new dogs, and doing so without me. Ariana let us do a meet and greet to make sure Juno felt comfortable around her and in the yard, and made the drop off easier to stomach. She gave me an update within 20 minutes of dropping her off which immediately made me feel better! We got frequent photos and videos of Juno really coming out of her shell and just absolutely BLOSSOMING into a confident and playful pup around other dogs. Juno came home tired and dirty from all of the play, and we couldn't have been more happy about it! I highly recommend Ariana and Juno will be back for more! She also feeds all dogs separately and is conscious about dog behaviors and body language which is a huge plus!! ?
My dog loved staying here, they sent pictures and were very good at communicating

Information Ariana S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog needs any special accommodations, and most importantly, if they generally enjoy playing with other dogs. Ziti can be somewhat high energy and wants to play, so nervous dogs might not be a great fit in our house. She's also newly wary of some female dogs (not usually puppies). But we can always do a meet and greet to be sure!
A typical day
At our house, the dogs get to roam in and out, weather-permitting, and play or nap in our big yard as they please. We also get our daily Sniff-aris through the neighborhood or a local park. We love our brisk walks/hikes, so we try to be moving at least 45 min, but usually an hour or more. Wapato, Wright, and Titlow Parks are some of our favorites!
