Intuitive care, training experience
Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of animals all my life. I taught myself how to train dogs and would find dumped dogs off the street and train them to be more adoptable. I take a loving, consistent approach with my animals. I currently have two cats I take outside on harness if you’re interested in expanding your feline’s world as well! I also have experience with disabled animals as one of my cats suffered permanent injury from a car accident as a kitten (how I found him) and figuring out how to best assist him is a journey!
Reviews
I could not recommend Ariel more! I’ve known Ariel for many years. She’s always been the loving mother of animal duos: first bunnies and now two cats. In addition to loving on every dog she meets. She is incredibly kind, thoughtful and fun - in general, and particularly with animals. She will treat your pet(s) the way she treats her own, as furry royalty who deserve loads of love, attention and energy. Your pets are in great hands!
Mia, an 8 year old standard poodle, became fast friends with Ariel on Day 1. More than anything, Mia loves the undivided attention she gets from Ariel ... switching up the routes and the pace is like a bonus piece of bacon.
About Ariel R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I don’t offer services in my home as my cats don’t appreciate other animals in their space. But I do have a vehicle in case of emergencies and am very flexible and understanding of individual needs of owners and their pets.
Information Ariel R. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any fun quirks or specials needs I should be aware of. Also let me know if you’d like additional training for your pet or just some fun playtime!
A typical day
I love combining physical exhaustion with mental. If the dog is up for it, I can combine some light training (heeling/no leash pulling/sit/stay) with free, sniff-till-their-hearts-content time. I also love leaving a dog with some kind of mental stimulation to play with and wind down. For example: a kong toy with a treat in it.

Availability
I work for myself and am often available most afternoons and occasional mornings 7 days a week. I love going on long walks and would love to have your pup come with me!
