Safety, trust & environment

Your pup’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities! My apartment complex features a spacious, well-maintained dog park with a wonderful community of dogs and pet parents—perfect for social pups who love to play. But if your furry friend prefers a quieter experience, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and I’m comfortable providing specialized care, whether that means crating, reinforcing training routines, managing special diets, or administering medications. Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I have extensive experience caring for them. Plus, living on the first floor means easy access with no stairs—gentler on aging joints.

Information Ariel F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I need to account for. I am happy to help accommodate your pup!

A typical day

I love to make sure that your pup is stimulated daily, so we always start our day off with a good walk—wether it’s a short walk around my neighborhood or a longer walk on the trails near my house, I make sure they get to get their ‘sniffies’ in. Additionally we visit the large dog park at my complex multiple times a day—great to socialize or have some good off leash time.

Pet care experience

Caring for animals has been part of my life since I was a kid, from checking in on a neighbor’s pet to hosting overnight stays. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments—senior pets are especially dear to me—understanding the extra care and attention they often need. From gentle routines to specialized care, I’m experienced in making sure older pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. No matter your pet’s age or needs, I provide a calm, caring environment where they’ll feel right at home.

Ariel was an absolutely wonderful sitter! My pup is an anxious bag of quirks that I would be uneasy leaving with just anyone. Ariel is patient and attentive and I know Tater was comfortable and had a great time while I was away. He warmed up to her quickly and settled in just fine.

Ariel was so amazing and I can tell Luna had a great time staying with her!! She sent tons of pictures and cared about my pup like she was hers. Luna spent a week getting tons of attention, sleeping on luxurious fur beds, and exploring the dog park. On top of the excellent pet care, Ariel is just a great person with a deep love for pets. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and trustworthy pet sitter!

Rainey had a wonderful stay! I received frequent updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was clearly well cared for and came home happy and relaxed. I would absolutely book with Ariel again and highly recommend her!

Cairo had the best time with Ariel. I felt so at ease because she has experience with senior dogs, so I knew my pup was going to be well taken care of. Got regular updates of pictures and videos, he was so spoiled with love!! Ariel was the absolute best.
