Pet care experience

Your best friend's new best friend!

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 so sweet and caring with my pup! Very attentive and communicative and sent plenty of updates. She was very accommodating for a last minute meet and greet to make sure my dog felt comfortable and welcome. I could tell my girl felt loved and cared for the entire time. Juni can’t wait to see her new friend again!

Ariel was amazing! Ariel consistently shared updates and photos and made Hashbrown feel safe and welcome in her home. Hashbrown is an anxious boy who has separation anxiety and Hashbrown had no issues being dropped off and stay with Ariel while I was out of town. I would recommend Ariel to anyone needing a sitter. I’ll be booking Ariel again soon!

Ariel was amazing. Truly in awe of her dog whisperer capabilities and how she cares for my dog while I was out of town. Super communicative with pics and videos. I felt super at ease after being nervous with my first time leaving my dog alone for extended days , and she went above and beyond with ensuring she was comfortable and kept stimulated.

Ariel did an absolutely phenomenal job watching my pup while I was away for a week. She provided numerous updates and pictures/videos each day. She did a wonderful job of making my pup feel like home and you could see the relationship they developed while I was away, neat to see! My dog returned home extremely happy, calm, and having made a new friend. Can’t recommend Ariel enough. 10/10 will book again!

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.

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.
