Engaging sitter for any size dog!
Pet care experience
Aside from growing up with an enormous Newfoundland and lively yellow lab, I have extensive experience in dog sitting with a variety of breeds all over the world! In college, I dog sat a boxer on the weekends, and was involved in a training course for seeing eye dogs during the week. While living in Australia for the year after college, most of my housing consisted of dog sitting for prolonged periods of time (several weeks to months). This involved taking the dogs for walks/outings every day, and spending the majority of the day with them as well to keep them company while they grew comfortable with the absence of their owners. I have quite a bit of energy and am always ready for a long walk or park expedition. I enjoy getting to learn a dog's personality, and have a fondness for both large and small dogs!
Reviews
Arianna was amazing and I would 100% recommend her!! My dog, Mocha, has a separation anxiety and this was the first time I left him alone with someone other than my parents and he immediately loved her!! From all the updates and pictures that I received from her I can definitely tell that Mocha was having a great time!!

Safety, trust & environment
I will listen to/observe the level of freedom the Clients' tend to allow their dog. For example, if they want the dog entirely leashed while in the back yard because there is no fence, that is not a problem. Regardless of the instructions, I will always have a leash and treats on hand when we're out of the house. Paying attention to how they interact with other dogs/animals is also important to me - I'll look to the Client for this info or adapt to specific interactions with other dogs.
Information Arianna K. would like to know about your pet
Let me know how your dog typically interacts with other dogs so I can be aware of this on walks or when in a park. I'd also like to know if they usually respond to their name or if they are less obedient with new people so that I can account for this.
A typical day
I am a big fan of a long walk! If you happen to live near Bird Rock, I love walking through the streets there and near Wind and Sea beach.

Availability
I work 8:30am-5:00pm Monday through Friday, and so only the evenings/nights or early morning jobs would work on these days. I am completely free on the weekends, and so Saturday and Sunday gigs would be my sweet spot.
