Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Ary, I’m originally from California. I've been around dogs of all sizes since I was 10. My boyfriend helps me with dog sitting. We both work from home and have a lot of time to focus on your pet. We love taking them for short/long walks around the neighborhood and some play time at the park. We have an adorable mini Australian golden doodle, Tala. She's is very good with other dogs; she is playful and well behaved. I have experience taking care dogs special needs and could administer medication as needed. We would gladly take care of pets that are potty trained and friendly with other dogs. I can't wait to meet your fur babies!

Great rover experience. My blind dog Lou seems really happy and comfortable with Ari and daycare there. Thanks!

Ary is so great to my pup Zoe. She is so trustworthy and reliable. I know that when I’m out of town my pup is well cared for!

Ary, George, and Tala were such great hosts for my pup over the holidays! It was our first time using Rover so we were naturally a little nervous, but they made it so comfortable for us from the very beginning. They sent us updates with adorable pictures daily and we could tell our Ozzie was having a great time, and he loved playing with Tala. I would highly recommend Ary to anyone!

They were great. Took great care of our 4 legged friend. Highly recommend them. I’d definitely use them again!

Information Maria V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. We appreciate full transparency as this will help us figure out the best way to take care of them. We live in a multi-unit building, so we prefer dogs that don’t bark excessively. Thank you!

A typical day

We love hanging out and getting to know the pets we take care of. We live in a beautiful neighborhood for dog-walking, not too far from Smith Park, Humboldt Park, and 626 Park. We typically take our pets out for three walks a day. Depending on the weather, your dog will surely get lots of exercise and playtime with our dog Tala.
