Pet care experience

All Good Boys and Girls Welcome!

I have taken care of many pets since a very young age. I had cats all throughout my childhood and teens and as an adult had both cats and dogs. Friends and colleagues have relied on me to take good care of their furry loved ones. I've got a good sense for animals and a keen eye for detail. I take walks regularly and stick to strict schedules as I have for my own pets. I will love your dog or cat like my own and ensure they're well played with, snuggled, fed, and walked!

Ariel was wonderful with our cat and we felt totally comfortable with her care while we were out of the country for a week. Highly recommend her! Thanks Ariel 😺

Ariel was great playing with my two kitties! Sent cute pics & helped them get the pounces out of their system.

Schedule

I work full-time in St Petersburg, FL. I am flexible during the day as all my meetings are typically zoom or phone calls at the moment. I like stability but I'm willing to be flexible within reason and distance to my home.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Ariel can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Please include temperament, past behaviors and any training issues I should be aware of. I prefer larger dogs to toy breeds as the smaller dogs tend to be a bit more skittish.
