Pet care experience

24/7 Experienced Pet & Farm Care🐾

Looking for a reliable pet sitter? Whether you need me for a weekend trip or extended care, I provide a safe, loving environment for your pets while you’re away. Give me a call to chat—I’d love to learn more about your furry (or feathered, or scaly!) family. Why Choose Me? Beyond providing the basics—feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles—I bring years of hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. Some things you can expect when your pet stays with me: ✔ Attentive, Reliable Care – I follow your pet’s routine to keep them happy and stress-free. ✔ Regular Updates – Want photos or messages while you’re away? Just ask! ✔ Comfortable for All Pets – From energetic puppies to senior pets, I adapt to their needs. ✔ Experienced with Special Care – If your pet has medications, dietary needs, or mobility issues, I’m happy to accommodate. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, small animals, birds, reptiles, fish, and even farm animals like horses, cows, and chickens! A Little About Me Animals have always been at the heart of my life. I grew up around horses and farm animals, spent time volunteering with shelters, and have fostered and rehabilitated animals in need. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I take their happiness and well-being as seriously as my own, whether that means preparing fresh meals, making sure they stick to their routine, or just giving them lots of love and attention. When I’m not with animals, you can usually find me out in nature, making art, gardening, or learning new skills in bushcraft, herbalism, and homesteading.

Ariel took wonderful care of our cat, Ash and goldendoodle, Kami while we were away in California. Both pets have special medical needs. Ariel quickly learned how to daily administer subcutaneous fluids to Ash who has kidney damage. We received cute pictures of Ash and Kami daily. I look forward to booking Ariel in the future and recommend her without reservation.

Ariel stayed two nights at my home with my dogs and I am so grateful to have found her. I’m an incredibly anxious dog mom and she is so compassionate and understanding of that and took such great care of my dogs and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. My dogs absolutely love her! I highly recommend her. She’s reliable and communicative and I’m looking forward to having her stay with them again soon!

I was really nervous about leaving my 18 year old cat with someone else but Ariel put me completely at ease. She was so kind and caring with my cat and completely comfortable administering medication and following special feeding instructions. She also sent me great pictures of my pet each day and was very communicative about how things were going. When I arrived home my cat was content and well cared for. I would highly recommend her for any pet care situation. Thank you Ariel
