This is the 2nd or 3rd time we’ve used Ariela. We are very pleased to have found a punctual and trustworthy person to watch our kitties. Our oldest boy really enjoys her visits.

We booked Ariela for a quick last minute weekend trip - our 2nd time for our cat Ember. Ariela is great - she’s always responsive and sent us pics and a video from her visit. We came home to a happy, well cared for kitty. We already have Ariela booked for our next trip! ❤️🐈‍⬛

This was the second time I’ve hired Ariela to care for my kitties and she has been wonderful each time! She is professional and great at communicating. She goes above and beyond caring for my babies which puts my mind at ease while being away. Her love for animals is evident, even my more skittish cat that typically avoids strangers has grown to be comfortable with her which speaks volumes. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and will not hesitate to contact her again for my future trips!

Ariela did a fantastic job watching my cat (Peanut) while I was gone! This was my first time using Rover and had a fantastic experience! She was attentive and caring. My cat sometimes does not come out or interact with new people but Peanut loved Ariela! She sent lots of photos and videos of Peanut every time she stopped by for a drop in, will definitely be using her the next time I am away!

We booked Ariela with short notice as a first time for our cat who we typically board. We were a little nervous moving to a Pet Sitter and not sure how Ember would do being at home alone so much. Ember warmed up to Ariela quickly at the meet and greet, and Ariela made us feel very comfortable with the process. We received daily updates with multiple pics and videos and we came home to a very happy kitty. We highly recommend Ariela, and will be rebooking her for future trips. Thank You Ariela! ♥️🐈‍⬛🐾
