I’ll love your pets like my own

Pet care experience

I'm a postdoc at the University of Minnesota and work from home most days of the week. I love all kinds of animals, but cats and dogs hold a special place in my heart. I have 5 pets of my own, 2 dogs (Riley and Sophie), 2 cats (Andie and Klaus) and a hognose snake (Hugh), so I have lots of experience with pets. I'll provide lots of love, trips to the dog park, and all of the belly rubs your dog desires. I have fostered for Lee County Humane Society and Helping Shepherds of Every Color Rescue for over a year and grew up with dogs so I have a lot of experience with caring for dogs and making sure they are happy and loved. I have experience with all types of dogs, and I especially love the big dogs that think they're lap dogs. I will also come to watch any other pets you have since I have experience with cats, birds, reptiles, and horses!

Ariel is a life saver! She is readily available and tries her best to make time to walk my boy. She’s very prompt with replies and awesome with sending pictures and updates about Silas. She’s been very accommodating and Silas seems to really like her! 😊 We really appreciate her!

Came home to very happy fur babies after the excellent care given by Ariel. She even won the affection of our very shy cat who almost never comes out for new people! Got great pictures and videos while we were away to let us know they were doing well. Ariel is reliable, trustworthy, and and great with our cats and dog

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs that love to play and meet other dogs. When I am taking care of your pets in your own home, I always make sure to check doors before leaving, give them lots of love and pets, take them on walks or play with them In the yard, or provide a comfy lap to sit on. My goal is to always make sure your pets are safe and happy when they are in my care.

Information Ariel S. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. I have two cats, so dogs must be cat-friendly if the dog is coming for an overnight stay. I would want to know how they are on a leash, if they are reactive towards people or other dogs (for walks and socialization purposes), whether or not they are crate trained (I have my own crate for overnights if needed), what tricks they know

A typical day

A trip to the dog park, nice long walks on Auburn's campus, trips to Mama Mocha's, Chewacla, etc. I also have lots of dog toys and a dog bed at home for your dog to enjoy during their stay.
