Pet care experience

i’ll treat your pets like my own ♡︎

Hi there, I’m Ariel! 🐾 I’m 21 years old and currently a university student in Texas, studying Finance with a concentration in Commercial Banking. I’ve had pets my whole life, and for the past six years, I’ve also gained experience in professional animal care. Whether it’s walking, sitting, or overnight stays, I’m passionate about making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I live in an apartment community that has a mini dog park on-site and a beautiful trail right across the street, which makes it easy for your pet to enjoy playtime and daily walks. I personally enjoy jogging and running, and I often bring pets along for exercise and fresh air — always adjusting to their comfort level. Because of my flexible student schedule, I spend a lot of time at home, so your pet will receive plenty of attention and care. I pride myself on being friendly, responsible, and communicative, and I understand how important it is to give pets the same love and patience they receive at home. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your furry companion is happy, safe, and cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!

Ariel was AMAZING, per usual! I will always recommend her services because she is so sweet, communicative, and truly loves animals. You couldn’t pay me to book with anyone else!!!

Ariel was absolutely fantastic to work with. Despite my last-minute booking, she went out of her way to accommodate me without any extra charge. She was incredibly responsive, attentive, and made the entire experience seamless. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be booking with her again!

Ariel did a wonderful job caring for my fur babies. She communicated regularly and even sent videos to ensure their safety. I would definitely use her again.

Overall my experience with Ariel was great. Both of my dogs quickly warmed up to her and I could tell that they enjoyed their stay. I would have liked more updates and pictures but other than that, everything was great.

Ariel was amazing! Communication was excellent and it was great receiving periodic photos of Sheeba playing while I was out of the country. I will definitely rebook any time I’m in need. Ariel is an all-star!!

Safety, trust & environment

My apartment community has a fully fenced dog park where pups can run, play, and enjoy some off-leash time in a safe space. There’s also a beautiful walking trail right across the street, which is perfect for daily walks, jogs, or just getting fresh air. Inside, pets will have plenty of space to relax and feel at home. I don’t crate pets unless it’s requested and a crate is provided — I want your furry friend to feel as comfortable and cared for as possible while they’re with me.

A typical day

I am a very active person and love to take doggos with me on my runs, I also have a ton of toys incase the weather is bad and we need to stay inside!

It is important that you disclose the pets behavior, I am not able to care for agressive and/or hostile pups. I also need to know if your pet is special needs so I can properly prepare for their stay!
