Pet care experience

Pet Care with Heart ❤️

Taking care of animals has always come very naturally to me! As a child I liked to run around the farm I lived on searching for kittens and petting horses. As someone who has loved and nurtured many of my own pets over the years, I naturally gravitated towards taking care of others beloved fur children. I have knowledge of different diets and have had both cats and dogs on raw diets as well as standard diets. I also have experience with senior animals, and their special needs. I started out helping friends or parents of friends when they would travel and have now found myself offering services to others and growing my business. I absolutely love pet sitting and helping families feel comfortable as they travel or are at work for the day. When I am at your home I make sure to not only nurture and love on your pets but to take care of your space. I offer daily updates if preferred and collect mail, keep things tidy, etc. I am able to give some medicine if required and enjoy the company of all ages of animals. I have experience mostly with cats and dogs but am open to taking care of smaller critters too. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meet and greet!

Safety, trust & environment

When staying with your pet or even just dropping in, I can feed, play, crate, or give some meds to your pet if necessary. I am able to take walks or run around for a bit in the back yard. My goal is to always make the pet and the owner feel as comfortable as possible while maintaining a normal routine where necessary. I ask that owners leave detailed instructions so I can accommodate your animals as best as possible. I also request that any cameras in the home be notified to myself before I stay and I like to be clear that my partner may sometimes stay with me for overnights.

Ariel stayed with our doodle, Bailey, for the first time for four nights/ five days. She sent us updates and pictures while we were away. Communication was easy and Ariel was always responsive. She respected our space and left everything as we had left it. I highly recommend Ariel for her kind, caring, responsible pet care!

Our experience with Ariel was terrific. We knew our pups were in great hands and well cared for. They got great walks every day, medicines were properly given, and communication was good. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire Ariel again for our boys. We recommend her to anyone look for a solid reliable sitter.

I hired Ariel to pet sit for my dog Josie.She is responsible,relaible and she has a very gentle demeanour with animals.My dog bonded with her very quickly. Ariel was very respectful of my home and she even brought in the mail.She was also prompt in responding to any texts from me. She sent some really adorable photos of her activities with Josie. I highly recommend Ariel to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

Like humans, all animals have their own unique personalities. It is always helpful to know any quirks about your fur baby so I can offer the best care possible in the time we are together. I like to take notes and have all details laid out when we meet.
