I love all dogs!
Pet care experience
I have been living with dogs since I was 3 years old! I have two Portuguese Water Dogs who are mother (16) and daughter (7) that I love very much! I have experience in taking care of all ages of dogs from just born to elderly. I have learned to help train puppies to not pull on walks, stop before crossing the street, and keep their cool when meeting strangers. Additionally, as my older dog has aged I have adapted to slower-paced walks avoiding hills, and giving a little extra attention to make sure she is always comfortable.
Reviews
We've hired Arielle two times already and plan on using her again in the future! She shows up on time and sends wonderful pictures back of her walk with Ivy! Arielle has helped us enjoy our time away from house free from worries, knowing our Ivy was in great hands!!
Arielle helped us enjoy a few hours away from the house on Easter by visiting Ivy and taking her for a 30 min walk. She arrived right on time and sent pictures back of their adventures. We'll definitely hire Arielle again in the future!
Arielle is amazing with animals and highly recommended! She has been a trusted and loving companion for our family pets for her whole life. She is very good at giving our two dogs lots of love and cuddles. She has also been a great caregiver of her own gecko for years. She took great care of her friends cat while she was on vacation and loved every minute. Now that she is off to college, we still rely on her for dogsitting occasionally with our two dogs. She is very gentle and attentive with our senior dog who is 17 years old, and gives the younger dog the exercise she needs. Arielle is extremely responsible and trustworthy. Rest assured your pets will be well cared for and spoiled with Arielle.

Safety, trust & environment
I have learned to tell what a dog is trying to signal for when they need something and am always making sure they are comfortable and happy! I can crate a dog if needed, and have no problem enforcing whatever household rules someone might have in place for their pet!
Information Arielle M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog is extra friendly to strangers or has any specific tendencies so I know what to expect when taking them out! I'd also appreciate a heads up about responsiveness to commands/ commands they know that could help me while watching them.
A typical day
I love to take dogs for long walks letting them smell and explore their surroundings as much as they want! I also love letting dogs get their energy out at the parks, running and playing games. I will also never pass up a belly rub :)
