Hello! My name is Ariel and I am a graduate student studying special education. I have always been a dog person, ever since my family's first dog Buddy, a little white poodle. He lived for 18 long years, and a few years after he passed my family adopted King Louie (he's the gorgeous black dog in my pictures). Louie has some mental health issues (anxiety and protective aggression), but I put a lot of work into training him and learning strategies to help him be the best boy he can be. I have 15 years of experience walking and sitting other peoples' dogs around my old neighborhood. I've worked with all kinds of breeds, from poodles to pit bulls! I truly believe dogs are the best people. Since moving away from my childhood home, I've missed my dog so much :( I began dog walking/sitting on Rover several years ago, but took a hiatus to work at an elementary school and finish my education. Now that I am almost done with graduate school, I'll have some free time on my hands (and some light pockets) while I search for a job. I look forward to spending some quality doggy time with your pups!
