Vet tech! For the love of animals!
Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Ariel & welcome to the Bark Box! With over a decade of hands-on experience in comprehensive animal handling and care, I am currently pursuing a degree in Animal Science, a testament to my deep passion for this field. Ensuring the well-being and contentment of your beloved animals is my utmost priority. Whether in your presence or absence, I strive to maintain a consistent level of love and care for them. It brings me genuine joy to witness both the happiness of the pets and their owners. I guarantee a completely safe and enjoyable stay for your dogs, eliminating any concerns about their welfare. I am committed to providing daily updates on their activities and well-being to keep you informed. My academic pursuit in Animal Science is complemented by my role as an Animal Enforcement Officer, where I actively contribute to the safety and security of animals across various species. 🛑 Please note: Vet Information & Vaccination Records are MANDATORY for Boarding, Grooming, Walks, Drop-ins & Daycare Services. 🛑 A preliminary Meet and Greet session is essential to ensure compatibility among all pets under consideration.
Reviews
My pups had another great stay with Ariel! I love the fact that they have other friends to play with while they are there as well! She gives updates and I always feel really comfortable knowing that they are with her!
This is my 2nd time using Ariel and I could not be happier! Due to some last-minute travel plans I only had a few days notice until I needed care and even have a trip extension, so in total the dog stayed almost a month. She kept me up-to-date per usual with how they were doing including pictures and videos. One of my girls is very shy and takes a long time to warm up to people and the first time Ariel watched her. It was only for a few days so she didn’t get the chance to fully come out of her, but this time in a few days they were already best friends which is a really big deal for her and lets me know that Arri takes amazing care of them and gives them just as much love (if not more) than they get at home! She also made sure to have them out and about, and even took them skating and had a water day with them. Before my return, she even gave them a bath, so I picked them up with them all brushed out and smelling good! I’m going to start calling Ariel’s house their vacation home because of how much they love it there!
Ariel was absolutely amazing!! I have four mini golden doodles, and not only was she comfortable watching all of them, but she was so organized and took great care of them! She asked all of the necessary questions to make sure to get to know them individually, and to make sure that they were comfortable in her space and keep their routine. We scheduled a meet and greet where I got to know her, and she got to know me and my crew and that made me really comfortable leaving them in her care. During their stay, she also sent me her videos to update me on them every day, and that really put my mind at ease. It was also very comforting to know that she is a vet tech studying to be a veterinarian and you can tell she is really passionate about the work she does! I just moved to Houston not long ago, and I will definitely be using Ariel whenever I need to board my dogs!!
Ariel was great!! Hendryx seemed to enjoy himself. Communication was very clear and I’m grateful she accepted my last minute request.

Information Ariel B. would like to know about your pet
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?
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.
