Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because caring for animals is already a huge part of my life and career. I work at an animal hospital 4 days a week, which means I spend my days caring for pets, monitoring their well-being, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Because of this, I’m very used to maintaining routines, paying attention to details, and providing dependable care. On my days off and outside of work hours, I dedicate time to pet sitting, walks, drop-in visits, and making sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, comfort, and companionship they need. Since animals are already such an important part of my everyday life, providing loving and attentive care feels natural to me rather than something I squeeze into my schedule. I also understand how important consistency is for pets, so I work hard to keep their routines as normal and stress-free as possible while their owners are away.

Safety, trust & environment

I always care for pets as if they were my own and do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, comfort level, and individual needs to help keep their experience as stress-free and familiar as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals if needed, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, playtime, affection, and plenty of attention. I also spend quality time with them so they don’t feel lonely and make sure owners stay updated with how their pets are doing. For house sitting, I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where pets can feel relaxed in the comfort of their own home. I know being away from their owners can sometimes feel stressful or confusing for animals, so I try to provide extra patience, companionship, and reassurance to help them feel secure. During walks, I prioritize safety while also making sure dogs get exercise, stimulation, and positive interaction. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy level, and comfort so each walk feels enjoyable and tailored to them. With over 5 years in the animal health field, I’m also comfortable administering medications and recognizing when something may not seem right so I can quickly communicate concerns to owners. Most importantly, I truly love caring for animals and want every pet to feel genuinely cared for, understood, and happy while they’re with me.

Information Ariana V. would like to know about your pet

A few important things I like to know ahead of time so I can give your pet the best care possible: • Feeding schedule, portion sizes, and any food allergies/sensitivities • Medications, supplements, or medical conditions • Behavioral quirks, fears, or triggers (other dogs, loud noises, strangers, etc.) • Energy level and favorite activities • Potty routine and any house-training details • How they do on walks and around other animals • Emergency contact information and preferred veterinarian • Any special routines or comforts that help them feel safe and relaxed Every pet has their own personality and needs, so I always try to make their experience as stress-free, fun, and personalized as possible.

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I care for is centered around making them feel happy, comfortable, and loved while keeping their routine as normal as possible. I always adjust activities based on each pet’s personality, energy level, age, and comfort needs because every animal enjoys different things. For dogs, that can include walks, playtime, fetch, enrichment activities, cuddle time, outdoor breaks, and lots of positive attention throughout the day. I love making sure they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation while also giving them time to relax and feel comfortable. For cats, I enjoy interactive play with toys, gentle attention, brushing if they enjoy it, cozy companionship, and creating a calm environment where they feel safe and relaxed. I understand some cats are very social while others prefer quieter interaction, so I always follow their comfort level and body language. No matter the service, I focus on making pets feel cared for, understood, and emotionally comfortable while their owners are away. I also love sending updates and photos so owners can feel connected and reassured that their pets are happy and in good hands.

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters is my background in the animal health field for over 5 years. Working closely with pets every day has given me the experience to recognize when something may not be right and communicate concerns promptly to owners. I’m comfortable administering medications and caring for pets with special needs, while always prioritizing their comfort, safety, and routine. I also understand animal behavior and know that every pet has their own personality, experiences, comfort levels, and unique needs. I take the time to build trust with each animal and create a calm, positive environment where they feel safe and cared for. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in experienced, attentive, and compassionate hands.

I found Ariana outside of Rover and she took care of my 60 lb Golden Retriever while I was out of town for a week. She was reliable, communicative, & professional. It helps that she works in an animal hospital & has experience with animals! I got pictures every day and notified of any issues or questions she had about my boy. I highly recommend Ariana for boarding. Her little pup, Prince, is good company and accommodating. I was happy knowing my Golden was not alone & had company.

Ariana is a wonderful sitter. She immediately knew how to take great care of our multiple kitties, including one that needed medication. She is kind, caring and compassionate. We will be asking her if she can sit for us again right away.

Ariana is amazing and has taken wonderful care our babies. Our little dog can be a bit anxious (barky) with people and Ariana took the time to make friends with Trixie and win her trust. Ariana promptly checked in with us during her scheduled visits and sent photos and even videos. It gave us peace of mind so we could enjoy our trip. We highly recommend her and will absolutely use her in the future.

Ariana and her boyfriend took great care of my pup! They sent me a picture or video of my dog always twice a day, and treated him so well! They gave him 2 baths over the time of his stay, without being asked, which was awesome!... not to mention the pictures they sent me of my dog all soaped up were adorable. Ariana has a cute little beagle named Prince. When we did a meet and greet with Ariana and Prince at their apartment, our dogs seemed to be a little afraid of each other. Well Ariana went to the dog park after and found a trainer who gave her advice on how to reintroduce the dogs. When we dropped our dog back off, we reintroduced them outside, and followed Ariana's lead. It only took 2 minutes before we were able to hand our leash over to Ariana, and she was able to walk away with both of them, without any issues. It was great! By the end of our dog's stay, we were receiving pictures of the two dogs snuggling in Prince's dog bed together. Will definitely book again!
