I work Wednesdays from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and my husband works from home Monday through Friday, allowing us to provide consistent supervision and care throughout the week. We also have a 7-month-old baby in our home, so we maintain a calm, structured environment. Pets staying with us should be comfortable around infants and gentle in nature. Your pet will receive regular potty breaks, attention, and companionship throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a yard for outdoor time; however, it is not fenced. All outdoor time is fully supervised and on leash to ensure your pet’s safety. We provide frequent potty breaks and maintain a calm, structured, pet-friendly home. Safety is our top priority, and we treat every pet like part of our family. We’re happy to provide updates and photos during their stay for your peace of mind. 🐾Booking & Care Details🐾 Boarding is based on 24-hour care beginning at your scheduled drop-off time. Rover automatically applies extended care charges for late pick-ups beyond that window, so accurate timing is important when booking. Holiday rates apply to major travel dates. Puppies and additional dogs are charged at adjusted rates due to the increased supervision required. For longer stays or work-travel bookings, I’m happy to discuss customized arrangements. 🐾 Meet & Greet Policy🐾 A meet and greet is required for all new clients prior to confirming a boarding stay. This ensures your dog is comfortable in our home environment and is a safe fit around children and other animals. Meet and greets allow us to review routines, temperament, and expectations so your pet’s stay is smooth and stress-free.

Information Ariel & Patrick J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, triggers, and any special needs ahead of time. I also appreciate knowing about temperament, energy level, separation anxiety, crate training, or any behaviors I should be aware of. The more I know, the better I can make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day includes structured potty breaks, supervised yard time, play sessions, enrichment activities, rest, and plenty of affection. We tailor each day to your pet’s age, personality, and energy level to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

Safe, Loving Home for Your Pet

Pet care experience

With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with daily walks, bathing, brushing, enrichment play, and maintaining consistent routines. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I adapt my care to meet their individual needs — whether they’re energetic, shy, young, or senior. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment you can trust.

Ariel & Patrick really helped me and Ollie out! It was a little last minute and they totally accommodated his little quirks 🤪 they sent photos and let me know how he was doing during his whole stay. They communicate well and I would definitely trust my dog with them again!

Ariel and Patrick did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Shylo, while we were with a family member in the hospital. Shylo can be a bit shy at first, hence his name, but they were very welcoming, patient and gentle with him, allowing him to warm up at his own pace. They followed all of his routines and kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us peace of mind. We could tell Shylo was well-loved and cared for during his stay with them. We highly recommend Ariel and Patrick for their excellent pet boarding services.

Ariel grew up with animals, has her own and absolutely loves them. I recommend Ariel for taking care of your pet. She’ll treat them like her own.
