Worry Free Pet Care!

Pet care experience

Worry less and come home to relaxed pets! I am an animal lover with fairly open availability doing this full time! I offer all services and keep my calendar as up to date as possible! I absolutely LOVE animals and have experience caring for small and large breed dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, chinchillas, guinea pigs, snakes, lizards, and even Horses. I would absolutely LOVE to add other kinds of animals to that list as well! I treat your babies as if they were my own, as I would be super happy to have someone do the same for me. I do not have any breed or size preferences or restrictions for care in the owner's home, however I live in an apartment so I do have some requirements for Boarding and Daycare. If you are requesting a boarding or daycare service in my home, I do require that the pet be 40 lb or less. All dogs must walk on a leash well, be able to go up and down stairs well, and be comfortable encountering other animals/people on walks as I do not have a private yard. It is also a MUST that all animals that I board or host for daycare are friendly with other dogs and are okay being around caged pets. I do have a guinea pig whom they would never be left alone in a room with but they do need to be comfortable hearing his noises and such. I just really enjoy being around animals and have loved the experience as a pet sitter thus far. I used to work in a team with my partner (Victor) however he has since taken on a new full time job, he may still assist me occasionally and he will be at the home as well during all boarding bookings.

We are very happy with Ariel's availability and taking care of our furbabies. We would request her again anytime!

Ariel came by and stayed with our fur babies while we had to be out of town for appointments for the day. She kept me updated on how they were doing and they love spending time with her. We will definitely continue to ask her to stay with them or drop in and check on them if we have to be away. She is always on time and very professional.

Ariel was amazing to our fur babies over the weekend. We received detailed updates on them along with pictures and she was very attentive to their needs. If I thought about something while we were gone she answered my messages and there is no doubt that she treated them as if they were her own. We will definitely be booking her again.

Would for sure use Ariel again. She sent a few updates a day with pictures and made us feel super comfortable the whole time we were gone. Very attentive. Super pleased

Safety, trust & environment

I take an animals safety very seriously. I will send daily updates and photos (sometimes multiple a day or as many as you like really). If you book a house sitting I like to keep your pets not only on their normal routine but in their normal environment(s). So, when we meet I will ask you what a typical day looks like for them. Any walks will be done in areas that your pet is familiar with and caution will be taken around people and other animals on these walks. In a boarding environment I will take even more caution as I do not have a fenced in yard. This is why I required that all dogs arrive with their own leashes and harnesses and all cats arrive in a cat carrier. All doors to outside of the home will remain closed and caution will be taken as I enter or leave so that pets cannot run off. I look forward to hearing from you and cannot wait to book! Additional Information: *In terms of house sitting the rate listed is a flat fee to come and go freely (out of the house for anywhere between 6 and 8 hours). If you need to request that I am at the house with the pets more often that can be arranged for an additional cost. As stated previously my constant care rate starts at $100 (additional charges may be added depending on if you have other pets or if a higher level of care is required). *I would LOVE to look after pets that are not dogs or cats but pricing must be discussed through messages at this time as there are no pre-set settings for such currently. *Pricing for overnights can be negotiable if you have a big crew (A big crew to me is more than 5 pets). ✨I am now offering Boarding overnight and Daycare as a part of my services. My requirements for these services are that your pet weighs less than 40 lbs as my place is small. I also required that they walk well on a leash, you provide their own leash and a collar or harness, All cats are inside of a cat carrier upon arrival, they go up and down stairs well, and they are okay encountering other people or animals. I will of course reiterate these things in our conversation when I receive a booking request. ✨ *I accept up to 3️⃣ Boarding & Daycare clients at a time and I do not currently offer care for one dog at a time as I have my own. ALL dogs/cats must be good with others (even if they aren't playful they must be able to tolerate). I can accommodate and separate as needed.

Information Ariel C. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet I would first like to know any health problems they may have and if they take any medications. I like to keep your pets on their normal schedule so I will also ask about routine and what a normal day for them might look like. Animals have their own personalities so I also like to be aware of any quirks or personality traits that may be important (things like aggression toward other animals or typical hiding spots if they can be shy). I like to get as much information as possible out of meet and greets and LOVE written instructions or notes from owners, but will also of course reach out if I have any questions or concerns about your pets behavior before or during a booking. If you decide to do a daycare or a boarding I do require these items be brought with you for your pets: *All food/treats that they will need for the entire booking * A leash and harness or collar for all dogs and a carrier for all cats *A litter box for cats * And if they are crate trained you will need to provide their crate * Comfort items are allowed: such as beds, blankets, and special toys (our dog has never destroyed anything of her own and we will of course never give her the opportunity to mess up anything of yours). I can provide extra treats (if allowed), bowls for both food and water, and toys for them to play with during the stay if they don't bring any. Anything else not listed is of course up to the owners to provide.

A typical day

A dog in my care will receive lots of love, cuddles, walks, and play time. My personal dog loves to go for rides and to the dog park so if this is something your dog would also enjoy I have no problem taking them! We also give our dog plenty of treats throughout the day and a special lick mat in the evenings so I would want to know if your dog has any food restrictions or sensitivities so that they aren't left out (if they have sensitivities or restrictions you can provide your own treats and if not they can join in with her treats).

Availability

I'm currently doing this full time. My schedule is VERY flexible and can accommodate pretty much any daily routine (which is great for pets with a very regimented schedule or special needs pets who need extra care). I can work with any drop-in or walk time both on the weekends and during the week. During a general overnight house sitting stay it is possible that I may be out of the house for 6-8 hours a day. However, I am always willing to stay at the home the majority of the booking with proper compensation and consideration. During all daycare bookings I will be present the entire time and I will also be present majority of all boarding bookings (However, I do require that pets be able to be alone for at least 4 hours unless we book under my constant care rate incase something comes up while I am hosting them). My Constant care rate starts at $100 per night and goes up from there with multiple pets or higher needs/special instructions. Overall I have an open schedule and keep my calendar updated at least weekly.
