About Ariel

Reviewed on 4/1/2025

I can't sing Aerial's praises enough! I have had her stay with our two older chihuahua's for several sits - both pop in visits and longer week-long sits. She is very proactive and asks lots of great questions beforehand to be sure she understands the needs of the pets, the pet parents and the house so she can provide the best care possible. I’ve had many sitters over the years and she is by far the best one we’ve had. I swear my dogs are sad when I get home because they have such a great time with her and her sweet dog Brandon! I was initially hesitant to have another dog in our house, but Brandon acts more like a therapy dog and goes with the flow and ‘vibe’ of whatever dogs he’s around. My dogs are older and introverted so he gives them space, as well as his mom lap for them to have, and will play with them when they are feeling more frisky. He’s just the sweetest boy so if you have hesitations like I originally did, don’t let that deter you. She and him are the best! Ariel takes lots of pictures and sends them along with updates a few times a day which I always appreciate. She is clean, respectful and one of the nicest people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. She has a lot of experience with older dogs, high needs dogs, anxious dogs and fostering dogs. I tell her she’s an angel all the time and she gives me ideas and pointers to be a better pet parent myself (like getting a sling to carry Martini in for when her legs give out, and how to get her to eat when she's being picky). When I interviewed her for our first sit, we only had our one dog Martini. I told her we were thinking about adopting an older dog from Frosted Faces to give Martini a companion after her sister passed, and Ariel was so enthusiast and supportive of that and said that’s she’d love to help us incorporate a new dog into our home and family. Seeing what a huge heart Ariel has for dogs (especially older and special needs dogs) gave me the reassurance I needed to adopt our Frida right before our trip. Ariel is now like a second mom to Martini and Frida and they look forward to every time she and Brandon come visit. I’m so grateful I found Ariel and I’m sure you will too!
