Hi! I'm Ariel and I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend. I know how hard it is to find a sitter at the last minute, so let me make you feel more comfortable- your buddy will be in great hands! Because I work from home, I spend the majority of my time at the house and will be able to give your best friend plenty of attention. Your pup will enjoy lots of playtime and daily walks with my dog, Shiner, and will have access to a fenced courtyard to lounge outside when the weather is nice. Shiner is a 5yo dog and is sweetheart- she is playful with most younger dogs, and respectful of the space of all guests at the house. I understand the nerves involved with leaving your pet behind and it is SO much better to leave them with an easy transition- I understand each dog has a unique personality and I will enjoy getting to know your pets special characteristics. If you have an energetic dog that likes to go on runs, I can wear them out with Shiner as we go out for a run 4-6 times a week. If you have a lazy dog, they will have multiple snoozing options available to them in my home. If your dog loves to cuddle and get belly rubs, I have that covered! If you pet seems to like their own space, I have crates, and plenty of dog-friendly nooks in the house. I've worked at a veterinary clinic in my past and understand if your pet has special needs- I've raised a puppy and have taken care of elderly pets so no experience is unwelcome. Please, just let me know the guidelines at drop off and I will commit to sticking to the playbook if your pet requires the additional attention to detail.
