Availability
I structure my day to ensure pets are never left alone for long periods. I’m typically out for no more than 3–4 hours at a time, with regular breaks throughout the day to return home or check in on pets in my care. This allows me to provide reliable, attentive service while maintaining a consistent presence—especially important for pets who need extra comfort, medication, or supervision. If your pet requires additional care or a different schedule, I’m happy to discuss and tailor services on a case-by-case basis to meet their unique needs.

Pet care experience
About Me Hi! I’m a certified dog trainer (CPDT-KA) and experienced pet care professional with a lifelong love of animals. I believe every dog deserves individualized attention, a predictable routine, and lots of love—whether I’m stopping by for a walk or caring for them while you’re away. Your dog will be treated like family. I’m friendly, reliable, and deeply respectful of each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether you have a high-energy pup, a shy senior, or a special-needs dog, I tailor my care to make them feel safe, seen, and loved. ⸻ Walks with Purpose Walks are so much more than potty breaks! They’re a chance to exercise, explore, and enjoy the world. I make every walk engaging and enriching, not rushed. I can also reinforce basic manners on leash, and offer optional add-on leash training sessions for dogs that need more structured help. Just ask! ⸻ Pet Sitting That Feels Like Home When you travel, your pet deserves to stay in the comfort of their own home with someone you trust. I offer drop-in visits and overnight stays, always sticking closely to your pet’s routine. You can expect regular updates, happy photos, and lots of snuggles and playtime for your pet. ⸻ Experience & Specialties ✔ CPDT-KA certified trainer ✔ Experience with senior dogs & medication administration ✔ Comfortable with special-needs pets ✔ FDM (Family Dog Mediator) certified ✔ Years of house sitting & drop-in experience ✔ Leash training available as an add-on service ⸻ Whether your dog is tiny, huge, or somewhere in between, I’d love to meet them. Let’s make your dog’s day a great one—even when you’re not home.

Reviews
My dog liked Ariella right away, which honestly says everything. She has some joint problems, so walks can be a bit tricky, but Ariella found a gentle, thoughtful approach that worked perfectly for her. I really appreciated how patient and attentive she was , it was clear she took the time to understand my dog’s needs and made sure she was comfortable every step of the way. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such caring hands. Highly recommend Ariella to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and truly great with dogs!
Ariella was a total professional and went above and beyond to drop in on our sweet cat Claude while we were away for almost two weeks. She sent updates and photos daily and really seemed invested in how Claude was doing. She also noticed that a winter storm was due and proactively notified us. She topped up his food and water beforehand, and made sure he would be comfortable if she was snowed in for a day. But that wasn’t even necessary, because she came to visit him at 6 am to beat the snow on day one, and on the second day of the storm had her car dug out and came over to complete her visit. It takes so much to trust someone with your pet and to be in your house, and Ariella earned that right away with us. Thank you Ariella!!!
Thank you so much, Ariella! We really appreciate you taking care of the cats during our vacation. Your professionalism, thoughtfulness, and dedication do not go unnoticed. My family is beyond satisfied with your service and we are so relieved to have a kind, caring individual like you in the area. Thanks again!
Ariella took great care of my cat! I appreciated the daily updates. My extremely shy cat even came out to take a look at her, which shows she has a good vibe! I’d definitely hire Ariella again.
