Pre Vet - more like family 💕🐾

Hey! I’m Ariel, Welcome to The Bark Box! I’ve been working hands on with animals for over 10 years, and I’m currently in school for Veterinary Technology because this isn’t just a job for me… it’s what I love. Your pets’ safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priority. Whether you’re home or away, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I know how important peace of mind is, so you’ll always get updates, pictures, and check-ins while they’re with me. Before this, I worked as an Animal Enforcement Officer, helping protect and advocate for animals of all kinds so you can trust your babies are in experienced, capable hands. I can’t wait to love on your pups! 🐶💛

This was my first time having a sitter come in and stay with my dog for a week, and Ariel was the perfect professional for the job. She was timely, a great communicator, and put me totally at ease so I could enjoy my vacation. Would recommend her to anyone!

Ariel is amazing! My pups absolutely love her and look forward to their weekly walks. She’s reliable, professional, and genuinely cares about the dogs. I recently adopted a cat and even she warmed up to Ariel the first time meeting her. Highly recommended for your pet’s needs.

Ariel did a wonderful job with Luna and helped me feel comfortable the entire time that I was gone that my little bug was doing well! This was particularly appreciated as Luna is in recovery after a surgery

Schedule

Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily and weekly routine through structured schedules and dedicated time slots. I ensure that the needs of the pets under my care are met consistently, whether it's feeding, exercise, grooming, or medical attention. This commitment is paramount and thoughtfully planned to guarantee their well-being remains a top priority.

Safety, trust & environment

In both home settings, whether it's at my residence or a client's, I prioritize creating a comfortable and safe environment for the pets. This includes adhering to specific routines tailored to their needs, ensuring regular feeding, exercise, grooming, and administering any required medication. Additionally, I maintain open communication with clients to address any special requirements or preferences for their pets' care. This approach allows for a seamless transition and consistent quality of care across different settings.

Pets

A typical day

The activities I engage in with the pets I care for are tailored to their individual preferences and energy levels. This could encompass stimulating play sessions, interactive games, refreshing walks, and, where appropriate, training exercises to keep their minds engaged. I aim to create a well-rounded and enjoyable experience that aligns with each pet's unique personality and needs, ensuring they remain happy and fulfilled during their time under my care.

I would appreciate learning about your dog's temperament around other dogs and their responsiveness to direction. Can they walk on a leash comfortably? Are they easily handled while being carried, or do they require specific handling? Additionally, are there any other special considerations or requirements for their care that I should be aware of?
