Former dog foster, love all animals
Pet care experience
I am a former dog and cat foster mom who has cared for many dogs aged 5 weeks - 12 years old. I also used to dog board on Rover, but now live in a place that does not allow them. I miss the every day interaction with dogs, I'm that person in the street who will pet every dog that walks by! I have had experience with young puppies of active breeds such as german shepherds and hound mixes, to older more calm poodles and boxers. When I am taking care of your dog or cat at your own residence, I also will be clean, tidy, and keep to myself. I’d love to meet you for a meet and greet before the booking as well to ask any questions we may have.
Reviews
Overall, very nice. My dogs enjoyed her company. Was very communicative overall. Sent a lot of pictures. However, was not communicative when there were issues such as the dogs bring restless and anxious. One of our dogs ripped up a whole corner of her crate and ate it. There was dried vomit in the crate and she continued to vomit after Ariel left. We were not informed that she had done this either during the stay when it happened or when we returned.
Ariel has been great with my pup, Toby. Toby is a 10 year old Pitt Mix rescue, with spunk and some anxieties. Ariel was very thoughtful in our meet and greet, asking detailed questions, sharing her experience and also making some suggestions. Ariel has walked Toby several times, and has been thoroughly communicative, reliable, and trustworthy - despite Toby's quirks! I would recommend Ariel to all dog owners given her experience and diversity with different doggy temperaments.
Ariel is awesome! I’ve used her to watch my babies 3 times so far and will definitely use her again! Thanks Ariel!
We had a great experience with Ariel. She was fabulous to work with - super responsive and flexible. She sent pictures and took great care of our dog. My dog seemed very happy and healthy after his stay. We will absolutely use her services again!
About Ariel M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In my clients home, I respect any safety boundaries they have put in place during our initial meeting. I will always reach out and ask them if I have any questions during the stay.
Information Ariel M. would like to know about your pet
I love knowing your dogs favorite treats, both for dogs and human food (what dog can resist a slice of cheese?!) as well as any habits (good or bad). There is no such thing as too much information.I love knowing this about your cats too! As far as breed preferences, I really don't have a preference! I love big and small dogs alike, and can handle most energy levels.
A typical day
I always try to take dogs on walks through areas with a lot of greenery to get in new smells and a fresh environment. I try to bring a ball or toy to encourage them as well. Dependent on owner preference, I can also take them to a local dog park.
