I adore dogs and love to walk!
Pet care experience
I've grown up with dogs in my household, so I've been taking care of them since I was six years old! I grew up with a little West Highland Terrier named Pogo, who made friends with many of my friend's dogs that I've also grown to love. I've been babysitting dogs (walking, feeding, etc) since high school. I am familiar with small dogs such as chihuahuas and terriers and also larger dogs like labs and retrievers. I've babysat dogs of all ages, so I am familiar with the more specific needs of puppies vs. senior dogs. I am aware of what dogs can and cannot eat in terms of human food, but won't feed them human food as a treat unless I'm given permission to do so. My dog living at my parents house, an adorable Maltipoo named Maisie, has very high energy so I understand how important it is to let high energy dogs run around for a while and get a couple long walks in. Maisie is also a rescue dog, and isn't very quick to trust people she doesn't know, so I am also understanding of dogs who may be in a similar state of mind. If there are any specific care instructions for your dog, please let me know and we will be sure your dog is well taken care of!

Ariane is such a sweetheart! She smothered our dog with love and he definitely enjoyed his weekend with her. She was super flexible and easygoing with booking and a change in plans, and even gave us a card with a hand drawing of him! So cute. Totally trust her and will use again :)
Great sitter, kept us updated during a 6-day stay (longest we'd ever been away from Louie). Louie came back happy and healthy. Thanks!
Ariane is the most loving and attentive person I know. I've seen her work with animals with the attention and care of a mother with a newborn! I know that's dramatic, but it's true! She is a great dog sitter (I've seen her in action) and if I had a dog, she would be the only person I would trust.
I trust my little elderly chihuahua with very few people, and Ariane is one of them! She is so loving, careful, and always sends me plenty of picture updates :)

Information Ariane M. would like to know about your pet
My roommate and I will be getting a dog of our own in May, so I would love to know if the dog is friendly with other dogs to avoid any conflict.
A typical day
There is a lovely park by my house on Hazeltine with a large field and plenty of waking space around it. It's perfect for a long walk and a game of fetch to stretch their legs!
