Sitter,Groomer & Special Needs Care

Pet care experience

Hi friends! Me and my husband Chris have been pet sitting together for over 3 years and are currently doing it full time. He is mainly with me for safety reasons, but Chris loves animals also and he is a great helper. My first job was walking all the dogs in my neighborhood when I was 7 years old and ever since then, it has been my passion to work with animals and make them a part of my daily life. I have always had a way with animals since I was a small child, I just seem to understand them and I’m keen to picking up on their specific needs. I have been grooming my own dogs and also dogs and cats belonging to friends and family for the past 15 years. (I’m older than I look lol) I have also trained dogs of all ages and successfully trained my first litter of puppies to sit on command and wait for their food at 5 weeks old in 2016. I am also experienced with senior and epileptic dogs. My dog Milo has been having seizures since 2018 and I have found ways to avoid having him on medication. I have a knack for nursing animals back to health and have treated my dogs for multiple ailments. Currently, my main interest is dog sitting because it is my most inclusive service and offers full care and companionship when you are away from your home. It also gives me a chance to work with your dog if you would like to add training or grooming services. I also offer cleaning services which include laundry, dishes, sweeping, mopping, kitchen and bathroom upkeep. Please message me for more information.

This was my first time using Rover and I was pretty nervous leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know. However, Arianna and her husband, Chris, made it a lot easier. They both were great with my dog and made sure he sticked to his normal routine and was comfortable. Arianna sent me updates and photos which made it easier to be away. She even cleaned and tidied up my apartment before I came home, which was amazing. Overall, I am super happy with the care Arianna provided!

Arianna was amazing, I really trust her with my dog. Honestly I was worried going into dog sitting, leaving my dog alone, i really wanted someone i knew, but she really eased me and made me feel like I made the right choice and I know I did! Highly recommend

10000/10 I welcomed Arianna into my home to pet sit Sammy. She not only has tidied my house when we were gone, but she goes above and beyond what she was asked and has such a love and care for what she does. We have actually turned into really great friends and Sammy absolutely loves her. I’ve referred her to all my friends looking for a pet sitter. Such a caring, professional, honest, and delightful person to work with

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to stay full time when you are away from home, only leaving to take short trips to the grocery store. I feel that it is in the best interest of the pets and your home to offer full supervision for their safety and companionship and for your peace of mind. I make sure to let them have as much play time as possible, cuddle time, belly rubs, and all of my love! I like to send photos so being away is a little bit easier for you and your family. I will treat your babies like they are my babies!

Information Arianna D. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any behavioral issues, aggression, or special care needs, please let me know in advance so I can be prepared. It’s also good to know whether not they are good with other dogs, strangers and children in public so I know how to steer them on walks. Please let me know their feeding schedule, normal potty schedule, and if they have any medications.

A typical day

I believe outside time is very important for dogs of all ages so we will spend a good amount of time soaking up the sun if weather permits. If you have a ball, we’ll play fetch. If you have a pool, we’ll go swimming. If there’s a park nearby, we’ll go for a walk and look at nature, go fishing or feed the ducks! If you have a senior dog that likes to lounge, we’ll just have a nice picnic and enjoy being outdoors. If they get yucky outside I’ll give them a bath and greet them squeaky clean for your arrival. If you would like to know about the additional grooming services I offer, please message me for more information. When we’re not outside we’ll cuddle up on the couch (if it’s allowed) and watch a movie, or just take a nap! I also like to spend time training basic commands and manners with their favorite treats.
