Services
Arillia can care for
Availability
I'm currently offering repeated or as-needed drop-in visits and house sitting to both cats and dogs, and dog walks Monday-Friday after 10am. I am available some Saturdays and Sundays, as needed. I work from home in the Mission/Excelsior region, so I have a fairly flexible weekday schedule and can often accommodate short-notice bookings. Since I rely on public transit, I’m currently limiting services to locations within about a 30-minute bus ride from Balboa Park.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it my priority to respect both the pet’s routine and the home itself. I aim to create a calm, comforting environment that helps your pet feel safe and cared for while you're away. I always follow the care instructions you provide closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, walks, or playtime routines. Above all, I treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
Information Arillia S. would like to know about your pet
I know that not all animals are ready for new people, if your pet has any triggers, separation anxiety, medications or specific schedules, I am more than happy to maintain the consistency your pet is used to. If you're working on training any specific behaviors, I'll be sure to reinforce those with positive feedback and love, too.
A typical day
My goal is always to create a non-invasive, friendly experience for your fluffy friend. This means that my typical day during the visit, will be whatever you and your buddy get up to usually! We'll play with all their favorite toys, go on the walks they are used to, practice the commands you want reinforced, or maybe just hang out and snuggle up. Whatever makes you and your best friend the happiest, I'm here to relieve your anxieties, and make sure your family is taken care of.

Pet care experience
I grew up with a rescue pit bull and three rescue cats, which taught me early on how to provide gentle and compassionate care. I'm currently offering repeated or as-needed drop-in visits and house sitting to both cats and dogs, and dog walks Monday-Friday after 10am. I am available some Saturdays and Sundays, as needed. If your pet has any special needs, medications, or health concerns, I’m more than happy to discuss them with you. I’ll always take the time to learn what needs to be done and follow your preferred approach to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety. I am committed to providing a loving home and continuing any training or scheduling already established. My goal is to make your fur baby’s experience as seamless as possible!

Reviews
Arillia has a special way of making my kitty feel cared for while I'm away! She feeds and plays with him and he loves to cuddle with her. I always appreciate the excellent communication, updates and photos!
Great communication! Feel so much better knowing Arillia is checking on Minnie during the day.
Arillia has been great with our shy dog! Minnie has warmed up to her so much in a few days. The updates and pictures are also appreciated.
I'm so thrilled that my kitty Kato sees Arillia's strengths and warmth as a caregiver, which means he not only plays, cuddles, but also EATS (!) while I'm away. We're so lucky to have Arillia and the extra TLC she brings.
