Pup-loving writer in Union Square

Pet care experience

I've grown up with dogs my whole life, but can't afford one on my own. :( I'm a writer and work almost exclusively from home in Somerville, right by Union Square. It gets pretty quiet here by myself, so I'm always looking for a puppy-related excuse to get outdoors. I love walks, snuggles, catch, and tug-of-war. Providing tummy rubs and ear scratches are particular favorites of mine. In the past, I've taken care of dogs with health issues (including one with diabetes) and anxiety, and I've worked with rescue animals as well. If you have more than one doggo, that's no problem! I'm used to having one or two dogs around at any given point in time. I'm happy to come puppysit, host your pup at my house (with an awesome yard!) or do walks. Looking forward to meeting your four-legged friend!

My pup loved Ariel and I felt totally comfortable knowing that Ariel was taking good care of her!

Ariel was a wonderful caretaker and buddy for Ronja. She asked good questions and checked in when there were questions. She loves dogs and our dog warmed up to her right away. Ariel also is a super communicator and sent lots of great pictures of Ronja in action. We felt very confident that our sweet pup was in good hands. I definitely recommend Ariel as a pet sitter to anyone in the future.

Ariel is wonderful with our new pup! She is helping us as we transition him to being home more on his own. She is very flexible and sends lots of updates.
