Active dogs are happy dogs

Pet care experience

My focus in dog care is providing exercise services and education on the benefits and diversity of ways to get your pups the exercise they need. I have two siberian huskies, Toki (4 years) and Kima (8 months) as well as a german shepherd/border collie mix named Leeloo (5 years). Toki and I spend time together doing pulling sports including bikejoring and canicross (running with a pulling harness). I'm so excited for Kima to join us when she's full grown! I'm passionate about both running and dogs and being able to run with my dogs is a truly bonding experience. My goal is to help other loving dog owners creatively find ways to get their pups the exercise they need, whether that means that I visit your pup regularly for exercise sessions or I help you and your pup find an enjoyable way to exercise together. Either way this will enhance your relationship with your dog, since well exercised dogs are better behaved, more content and healthier all around.

We had a great experience with Arielle and Karl - we dropped our pup off for a 5-day stay while we were out of town, and he came back tired and happy. Because Arielle and Karl can keep a few dogs at a time - in addition to their own - our dog had plenty of new friends to run and play with (a key criteria for our high energy dog!). Arielle and Karl have a great outdoor space, and were always incredibly communicative when we sent updates or questions. Thank you!
