🐾 A Real Home Away From Home
Hello, neighbor! Thanks for checking out my profile. I'm a long-time dog lover, pet (and human!) parent, and work-from-home employee that has recently opened my home to pet sitting and boarding. Pets have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, from growing up with fish, hamsters, cats, and dogs alike, to raising my own pups, and volunteering with rescue orgs as an adult. My own dogs crossed the rainbow bridge in the last two years, so our family has room in our hearts and our home to care for others' until we're ready to permanently expand our family with a four-legged friend again. I work from home full time, which has led to pet sitting in recent years for friends, family, and their networks whenever they need someone they can truly trust. It's a great perk for us both because it means your dog is never left alone and I get the bonus company of your sweet pup throughout the day! They'll get attention, playtime, and comfort in a real home environment rather than a kennel or an empty house. I'm also not the only dog lover here! My children are dog enthusiasts in their own right. My daughter recently started her own dog walking business, and she loves helping me care for our furry guests. So long as your dog is friendly with and comfortable around children under 10, your pup will have a whole family loving on them while you're away! I've also fostered multiple dogs through a local rescue organization, which means I'm experienced with dogs of different sizes and temperaments. When your dog stays with me, they get the love, presence, and care they deserve, all day long.

Ratings and reviews
Ariana and her family were simply amazing, loving and so good with our pups! Our boy loves to play ball and they didn’t disappoint him, they played with him all the time! We received updates and pictures to stay informed, they were spoiled and well-loved by Ariana and her family! I would highly recommend anyone choose this family to love on your pets!
Ariana was responsive and coordinating our stay was easy. Our pup was greeted at the door by a welcoming family and was immediately at ease. He was quiet and calm when we picked him up, even though it was a very long stay away from home. We would definitely book again!
Ariana takes care of my Golden Retriever when I go out of town. She is also a long time family friend. She is unbelievably kind and loves animals! I know her parents and her brother and love them all. She is not just someone who watches my dog she is family. Feel confident that your animal will be very well taken care of in her care. She is the best!!

Schedule
Working from home, I am available to be with your pet nearly 24/7 when boarding/pet sitting. I live near open space trails, so your pet and I will get out for playtime and walks 1-2 times per day in the morning, after work, or during a mid-day break. I can accommodate feeding and medication schedules as needed throughout the day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Care is offered in my home, which has a 6-foot fenced yard out back. Your dog can relax with me while I work throughout the day, with plenty of breaks to get out and play or take a walk. I have some tough chew toys and tennis balls, or you're welcome to bring your favorites. (I supervise chewing and will remove toys once destruction begins.) Treats, people food, crating, and the like are all up to you - I will follow your instructions, preferences, and routine.
A typical day
I live near open space trails, so your pet and I will get out for playtime and walks 1-2 times per day in the morning, after work, or during a mid-day break. Your dog can relax with me while I work throughout the day on weekdays, with plenty of breaks to get out and play or take a walk. I have some tough chew toys and tennis balls, or you're welcome to bring your favorites. (I supervise chewing and will remove toys once destruction begins.) Treats, people food, crating, and the like are all up to you - I will follow your instructions, preferences, and routine. I will engage in your dog's favorite play - throw the ball/frisbee, play tug of war, provide treat filled toys/bones, etc. if desired. In the evening, I will let your pup snuggle up on the couch (if you're okay with them sitting on furniture) and get lots of pets and ear scratches.
