If your pets have a specific thing they like to do or are more comfortable with certain activities, please let me know! Also, for walks, do tell me how they interact with other animals.

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Ariel and I am a current medical student. I grew up with tons of cats and dogs and got my first dog as an adult in the past two years. I adore cats and dogs alike. As a sitter, I aim to be as flexible as possible to make your furry friends feel safe and happy -- I will do whatever I can! I go the extra mile, as a mom to one cat and dog myself. I am willing to go on walks, do special activities, feed your pets special meals, and take them to their favorite places when you are unavailable. I am also happy to have them stay with me. I hope to become acquainted with your babies soon! Cheers & Thank You!

Had a great experience. They were reliable, communicative, and took good care of my puppy. I appreciated the updates and would definitely book with them again.
