I am willing to learn what routines work for your fur baby, and provide that specific care during my visits. You tell me what you need, and we will work together to develop a custom plan suited to your needs.

Information Ariel S. would like to know about your pet

I have experience with senior pets, and know they may require a little extra care. (Senior pets are actually my favorites). I have rescued a choking dog before, and successfully performed CPR on a dog of mine as well. I am capable of handling animals with extensive needs, because of my medical background. In these cases of senior pets or those with special needs, I will require detailed information from pet owners about their conditions and needs prior to their appointment.

A typical day

Every pet is unique in their routines and personalities, so I will work with the owners to develop a care routine that accommodates their pet's activity level. Happy to give treats, medications, take them outside to play, or sit on the couch with them and give lots cuddles during my visits. Care will be custom suited for each pet based on their routines and owner preferences.

Anyone would be hard pressed to find a more compassionate honest reliable person to oversee care of their pet. I personally would trust her with my fur baby and I'm quite particular. We have also worked side by side in nursing so I've witnessed her integrity and caregiving in person.

Ariel is an awesome young lady and is really great with animals. I've had her take care of my animals during many Vacay trips and she is great and really trustworthy... always right on time and makes sure everything is taken care of. My babies are spoiled with Ariel. She is equally good with cats and dogs... even old contrary dogs. Lol. I had a crabby old gentleman that no one could get to behave. And she charmed him to the point of him taking his meds for her, even better than he did for me. Ariel would send me pics when I was away from my babies and that made me feel so much better. I never worried about my babies when Ariel was careing for them. They stayed happy and healthy. She is great and I recommend her highly!

Ariel took amazing care of my dogs and pigs while I was away! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and reliable hands. She made sure everyone was well-fed, cared for, and loved, and I could tell my animals were happy and comfortable when I got home. She’s dependable, communicates well, and genuinely cares about the animals she watches. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with my pets again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their animals like family!
