Pet care experience

Friendly Neighborhood Sitter

I am as die-hard an animal lover as it gets. Name an animal and I am passionate about it. A lot of people in this town love to hunt but I could never do it. You know those princess movies where they sing and all the birds and animals coming running towards her? That’s me. I have worked as a dog sitter for the past 3 years with many many repeat clients and regulars. I worked on and off this app for a year and have worked at the Humane Society and a professional Doggy Boarding business. I value my friendship with each and every one of my dog clients. In the past, I’d load my 4 regulars in the car and we’d go to the local dog park together (with the parents permission of course) and then everyone would get a puppichino afterwards. I pride myself on having open availability and being affordable for the average person. I work part-time so my schedule is easy to work around. My old girl past away about a year and a half ago, she was my childhood dog (she was supposed to be a family dog, but she was always mine. I took her with me when I moved out) so now I only have my one cat, Breakfast. I still feel the urge to hang out with a dog but I don’t think now is the right time to adopt another one, so I love to hang out with other peoples pets to fulfill that need lol. That’s why I’m so passionate about my job. Intrigued? Questions? Concerns? Let me know! I look forward to hearing from you!

Doggy Day Care • juil. 04, 2022

Ariel is very friendly and nice. She took a great day care of my two dogs and I got lots of photos from her every a few hours. When I picked up them they seemed like don’t want to go back with me haha. After got home they both tired and slept. I would highly recommend Ariel, and thank her for helping me so I had a peace of mind while on trip.

Doggy Day Care • juin 20, 2022

Ariel was fantastic! My grandson and I were in Rapid City for vacation and we needed a pet sitter for my 2 boys. She was reassuring, sending photos and updates and took care of them VERY well. Onyx had so much fun that he fell asleep in the car almost immediately both days! Thank you Ariel for caring for my babies. Will contact you again for sure and recommend you to all I know!

Ariel was great with my fur baby! My girl had not done very well in the past with traditional boarding kennels and this seems to be the perfect fit for her. Ariel was great with sending updates and pictures throughout the day to ease my mind.

Ariel is wonderful! She is quick to respond to messages and kept us updated the whole time our dog stayed with her. She also picks our dog up for regular outings and is great at that job, too! I trust her to take great care of our girl!

Ariel did an amazing job taking care of our Gizmo. She sent pics, he played, and we didn’t feel like we had to worry about him. Thank you Ariel.

I work part-time here in town so I have a relatively open-schedule and plan my week with my dog schedule in mind. I have to no problem staying over, dropping by to throw the toy around, or going for an hour walk.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m very attentive and caring. I may dote on your pets too much even. Its important to me to maintain a patient and understanding attitude when dealing with pets. I always make sure they are clean, fed, and well exercised. Of course they can sleep on my bed or my couch.

Pets

A typical day

I love going to the local parks, if it’s cool with the owner we can always do that or I can walk them around the neighborhood or throw the toy around the backyard, anything to give them some kind of activity.
