Elite Working-Dog Expert & Groomer
Are you looking for an experienced professional who understands the unique behavioral needs of your dog? With over 20 years of experience—ranging from managing off-grid Alaskan sled dog teams to professional show dog grooming and equine training—I provide an elite, structured, and deeply fulfilling environment for your furry family members. My services are designed for pet parents who prioritize exceptional safety, specialized behavioral understanding, and premium care over basic pet sitting. **The Boutique "Multi-Suite" Experience:** I specialize in customized, stress-free care. While I host up to 6 guest dogs at a time, I have organized my home into a boutique boarding retreat with distinct "Accommodation Zones" to match your dog's exact personality and needs. Depending on your dog's temperament, their stay might include: * **The Family Sleepover:** Cozy nights on the couch or in our family bedrooms for dogs who crave constant human closeness and affection. * **Private Decompression Suites:** Spacious, climate-controlled retreats with quiet surroundings designed to reduce anxiety, perfect for dogs who need a peaceful space to decompress away from the main pack. This strict environmental management ensures that high-energy working breeds, playful pups, and quiet, shy dogs all get the exact balance of socialization and rest they require without ever feeling overwhelmed. **Expert Pack Management & My Resident Pets:** My home is a fully integrated, animal-loving environment. We currently share our home with 3 friendly resident dogs and 3 dog-savvy cats. My extensive background in animal behavior and pack dynamics means I expertly manage multi-pet interactions, ensuring completely safe, structured, and harmonious integration for every guest. *(Please note: because of my resident cats, I do require guest dogs to be safely workable around felines).* **Integrated VIP Salon Services:** Skip the extra trip to a busy grooming salon before or after your vacation! As a professional groomer, I offer exclusive, in-house premium grooming, bathing, and nail trims strictly as a VIP add-on for my boarding clients. Whether your dog needs a simple "Go-Home-Fresh" bath or a full breed-standard precision groom, they will return to you immaculately clean and happy. You can easily add these options to your booking through the "Additional Services & Rates" section of my profile.

Ratings and reviews
Arielle was great!! She was willing to help out last minute. Dogs had room to roam and friends to play with. Really appreciated her and he boyfriend being so flexible.
As with every time, Opi has a blast & Arielle is always over & above accommodating!
Have used Arielle multiple times & she never disappoints! Our fur baby comes home happy & well loved!!!
This is the second time we’ve used Arielle’s services & will most definitely continue! She treats our fur baby like he was her own & he comes home happy & tired from all the play time!
Arielle was amazing!!! This was our first time ever leaving our fur baby with anyone other than family! She made us feel so at ease & remained in contact with us throughout his stay! She sent us pictures so we could see how he was doing & it looked like he was on vacation!!! She accepted him last minute & he came home so content & exhausted from his playtime! We have definitely found Opi’s home away from home!!! If you’re looking for an awesome sitter for your fur baby, look no further!!!
Arielle was wonderful for my 14-year old dog. She sent pictures and responded promptly to my texts. My dog adjusted quickly and comfortably to being in a new setting, a tribute to Arielle.

Schedule
Because I work with pets full-time, I am home a majority of the day tending to dogs and their specific needs. This dedicated availability allows me to provide near-constant supervision and a highly structured daily routine for the dogs in my care. I have the flexibility to seamlessly manage complex feeding schedules, safely administer necessary medications, and ensure that both high-energy working breeds and senior dogs receive the exact amount of customized physical exertion and cognitive rest they require throughout the day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety, risk mitigation, and stress reduction are my absolute top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard, and my home is designed for canine comfort, complete with pet stairs to help older or smaller dogs safely access the furniture. To expertly manage pack dynamics, my home is organized into specialized 'Accommodation Zones', including climate-controlled private suites for dogs who need a peaceful place to decompress away from the main pack. I currently share my home with three friendly resident dogs and three dog-savvy cats, and my 20+ years of behavioral experience allows me to ensure completely safe, harmonious integration for up to 6 guest dogs at a time. I am fully prepared to utilize crates or specialized gates if needed to ensure every animal feels secure.

A typical day
A typical day is customized to balance elite physical fulfillment with structured rest, including daily activities tailored to your pet's energy levels. During the summer, we take daily guided trips to the river and lake for advanced outdoor enrichment. During the fall, winter, and spring, our routine shifts to robust neighborhood walks and cognitive games. I draw upon my background as a sled dog handler to provide the exact amount of physical exertion that high-drive working breeds require. Middays feature quiet decompression, and the evening concludes with a calm wind-down routine to ensure a peaceful night of sleep.
