Ratings and reviews
Ariel provided excellent care for our high-energy pup, including several trips to the dog park each day. She was excellent and consistent at sending photos to update us while we were away. I would definitely recommend Ariel, we were extremely happy with Kipper’s care!
Ariel took great care of Nova. Walked her often , gave her food and snacks on time and kept us feedback with foto’s! Definitely use her again !
We had such a great experience! She was super responsive and always got back to me really quickly. She was also very flexible with the drop-off time, which I really appreciated. She took Archie to the dog park and sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout his stay. She kept me posted on what he ate, when and how much, and what he was up to — whether he was playing, relaxing, or going to sleep. It really gave me peace of mind knowing how he was doing. Archie looked like he had a great time and was very well taken care of. Totally recommend her!
Miso had a great day hanging with Ariel at her home and out at the dog park. The drop off and pick up was easy and Ariel kept me well informed with photos and updates while I attended my meetings in the city.
Our dog is always happy to spend the day with Ariel
Ariel was super awesome with my pooch. She was super quick to reply, very friendly, my dog was so happy when we picked him up, and she was super nice to deal with. I highly recommend her and give her six out of five stars. Thank you so much.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priority. I create a calm, secure environment where pets feel at ease, providing a clean space free of hazards. In your home, I respect your pet's routine and the boundaries you've set, ensuring their safety while maintaining a familiar environment. I take the time to build trust with each pet, ensuring they feel comfortable and happy in my care. I’m always attentive to their needs, whether it’s making sure they have fresh water, cleaning up after them, or monitoring them during playtime. With regular updates, you’ll always know your pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day with me is filled with fun, engagement, and plenty of love! For dogs, we’ll start the day with a morning walk or a trip to the park, where they can enjoy fresh air, exercise, and some playtime with their favorite toys. Throughout the day, we’ll have interactive play sessions to keep them mentally and physically stimulated, followed by some relaxation and cuddle time. If your dog has a special routine, like training or meal schedules, I’ll ensure everything is followed to make them feel comfortable. For cats, I’ll provide plenty of enrichment, from playtime with toys to interactive games that keep them engaged. I make sure they have a quiet, cozy space for naps, along with gentle petting and attention for those who enjoy it. Litter boxes are kept clean, and I’m always attentive to their needs. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I ensure every pet feels happy, loved, and secure during their stay with me.

- Before caring for your pet, I like to gather as much information as possible to ensure I provide the best care. It’s helpful to know about their daily routine, energy levels, favorite activities, and any special needs they may have. If your pet has any medical conditions, requires medication, or has specific dietary preferences, please let me know so I can accommodate them. Understanding their behavior around other animals, any anxieties, or triggers they may have is also important to ensure their comfort and safety. The more I know about your pet, the better I can tailor their care to make them feel right at home.
