Loving, patient, and experienced!
Pet care experience
I have lots of experience with all kinds of dogs and I understand that each one is an individual. I tailor my behavior to their personality so that they feel secure and loved. For high energy dogs, we play, walk, run, and allow that energy to be expressed in positive ways. For lower energy dogs, we play, but in a toned down manner. For the anxious or senior dog, I establish a level of trust, and we exert energy within their comfort level. I understand the anxious dog very well because of my rescue, Apollo. When you aren't there, you need to know your family is being taken care of. Especially since they can't tell you what happened while you were away. I take care of your family members the way I want someone to take care of mine. I love, care for, and protect them as if they were my own. I also have references.
Reviews
The best person anyone could ever ask for! So kind and caring goes above and beyond to care for the little ones! I would highly recommend Arliene for all of your pet needs. I wish we didn’t move, because unfortunately we can’t find anyone that comes even close to Arliene!
Arleen is Shasta's favorite dog sitter, actually her only dog sitter. I trust Arleen in my home and Shasta always seems so content and happy when we come home.
Wonderful sitter! I recommend Arleen for any pet sitting needs you have! I felt comfortable with her in my home and with my boy who has trust issues from his life before us.
We absolutely love having Arlene sit for our puppy. She plays with her all the time, gives her lots of love and attention and makes our time away so much easier because we don’t have to worry about our little girl. She sends us pictures throughout her stay and our dog looks so happy and loved all the time. She is wonderful. And she is so neat in our home we can’t even tell anyone was there. Thank you again Arlene. We will be scheduling with you again.

Information Arleen B. would like to know about your pet
I need to know a little of their history...are they a rescue, have they been with you their entire life etc. Rescues tend to need a slower and more moderated approach. One that's been with you and has only known love and trust, usually adapts pretty quickly to someone new. I would also like to know if they've ever exhibited any aggressive tendencies towards humans or other dogs. That helps me to know how to approach the dog, and also lets me know what types of situations to avoid when he or she is with me.
A typical day
Keeping a dog in a familiar area is good for reducing anxiety, so I keep them in familiar areas and close to home. If they are more easy going, and can sort of go with the flow, I might take them to a nearby park just for a change of smells and experiences.
