Pet care experience
As a kid I spent many after school hours hanging out in the veterinarian clinic that my parents worked at. That is where my love of animals began. My family rescued a 3-legged collie named Dawson, the sweetest boy that I grew up with. Along with dogs, my family had cats, birds, fish, and hamsters. I was always the kid in the neighborhood who people could rely on to watch their pets while on vacation. I was the one hanging out in the veterinarian office soaking up as much information as I could. I’ve always wanted a dog of my own but knew I had to wait until the time was right. In the mean time, I have fostered several dogs through the Pixie Project here in Portland, as well as provided countless hours of babysitting to a variety of dogs belonging to friends and family. I have taken care of small to large breeds, young and old, all with different personalities and needs. This past year I finished college and finally was able to adopt the dog of my dreams. I have a male Samoyed named Nanuk that we have had since he was a little 8 week old pup. Nanuk just turned two years old and is big and energetic, but he is a gentle giant. Raising a puppy is anything but easy, but has taught me so much. My experience with my own dog Nanuk, combined with my years of experience fostering and babysitting dogs, and my lifetime of experience with my family at the veterinarian clinic and our home pets, makes me confident in my abilities to provide trustworthy and dependable care to your beloved dog.
Reviews
Ariane is absolutely amazing. She took great care of our pup over the 9 days we were gone. We will never use another Rover/Sitter. Her dog, Nanuk, is also super sweet and looked after our Cubby...they were best friends by the end of the week. I HIGHLY recommend Ariane!!
Ariane is super caring for my dog Bobby who is high energy and loves attention! She gave me great update with pictures and videos of my dog while I was away and made sure to let me know what they did during their day. I felt comfortable and happy with leaving my dog with her, she is amazing and went above and beyond for my dog. Book her for your fur babies they will love her!! 🫶🏼
Ariane is incredible! She is kind, responsive, and accommodating which made the experience stress-free. She was great at providing updates and went above and beyond my expectations by bathing my pup, Harley, after she got a little too muddy while playing with Nanuk :) Harley can't wait for her next stay!
Ariane was the absolute best!!! She took amazing care of our dog, Maple. Right before we left for our trip, Maple hurt her leg - Ariane offered to take care of her in a pinch and followed all of the vet’s instructions on rest and meds. She communicated so well every day letting us know how Maple was doing. We felt so much better leaving town knowing she was in the best hands! We are so grateful!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a very large fenced back yard for the dogs to play and run! The environment in the house is calm and quiet as it is just myself and my boyfriend who works during the day. There is air conditioning and I always have an air purifier running as well. The house is always 100% safe and puppy-proof. I am always looking for any potential safety hazards and staying clean and tidy. Toys, dog beds, and clean water is always accessible. Lastly, our house is fun! I dedicate as much time as possible to making sure the dogs are getting plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.
Home
Information Ariane A. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. My dog Nanuk is high energy and playful, especially since he is 2 years old, he has A LOT of energy to socialize. It is important to know that Nanuk is also a LARGE breed dog. He is about 65 pounds (and mostly fluff) but is a gentle giant, super sweet and friendly. If your dog is social and loves to play, they will have a blast with Nanuk. A meet & greet is preferable for me ahead of time so I can make sure that it is a good fit.
A typical day
Since I am home all day working remote, your dog will get my full attention. A typical day with Nanuk is filled with lots of structured walks around the neighborhood, trips to the fenced-in tennis courts by my house to play fetch, training, and mentally stimulating activities like dog puzzles and games. I would love to include your dog in that fun day and accommodate to his or her needs & interests.

Availability
I am lucky to work 100% remote from home with a flexible schedule, so your dog will have my full commitment and attention at all times. Nanuk is a larger breed dog and still young, so he requires lots of walking and playtime. I will work with you to figure out your dogs best schedule and routine, and see how it can fit into ours so that your dog is happy and comfortable.
