Pet care experience

You're on vacay, your pets are too!

I am a home maker with a lot of time and space to fill with walking, petting and all around loving on the dogs that visit! My husband and I have an eager to love 8 year old human child and our own two sweet fur babies.. Our daughter adores all animals and has never met a pup that didn't love her or she them! We have been petsitting for years with these same dogs, they love to have company over! We have been fur-parents to many so we have experience with all ages and breeds.. We know each is different, with different personalities and likes and we treat any and all we meet as our own sweet pup. Our yard is fully fenced in, with a tall fence and plenty of grass to run in/on! 3 bedroom home that is mostly wood floor, we allow doggos on the couch and beds and give all the cuddles! Contact us for a meet and greet to show what a great fit our family will be.

Ariel and family were great with our Zoey! They spent tons of time with her, treated her like one of their own and kept us updated with plenty of pictures while we were away. Highly recommend!

Doggy Day Care • May 10, 2026

Can’t recommend Ariel enough! I was in Richmond from out of town for a graduation ceremony and my dog Cricket needed care for the afternoon and evening. Ariel was very communicative and flexible with both pick up and drop off times, and sent me so many cute photos throughout the day. I felt perfectly safe leaving Cricket in her care.

Ariel and her family were so sweet and attentive to Bonnie. My dog had a great time with them for doggie daycare!

Schedule

I am a stay at home mom, with an 8 yr old that adores all pets and they love her back. When she is in school, it is just me and the fur babies! I have plenty of time for walks, play and tussling.

Pets

A typical day

I live near a few lakes with plenty of areas to take long walks.. Plenty of alleys to explore if the dog is human shy. This is a dog friendly area, many a neighbor will say hi to the dog, or if the dog is shy just let him/her pass.

Let me know whatever your kiddo needs and we can go from there! I understand some dogs are shy or they might have a quirk to work with. As your dog grows and their care changes, I try to keep up to date with them and cater to their needs.
