Hi! My name is Arianna and I am 24 years old. I love taking care of pets and have about 5 years of experience combined as a pet owner myself of two dogs and as a pet sitter to both cats and dogs. I love all animals and enjoy being active with pets and enjoy creating toys/games that stimulate animals cognitively.

Hello! I have been working with animals my entire life. My parents owned a dog rescue for disabled dogs, cats, and other small animals so I am confident I will be able to adequately care for any animal of any size. I have been a paid pet sitter for over three years and can provide references if asked.
