Testimonials

Ariana and Jonathan are the most wonderful people. They have taken care of Simba our 5yr old Shih tzu, for over 4 yrs now. Simba looks forward to spending time with them and their fur babies. They are  extremely loving and kind and yet ensure that the pet adheres to their schedule. The longest we have left Simba with them was 5 weeks. I would not dream of leaving Simba with anyone else for 5 weeksWe consider them close friends now would strongly recommend them to any and all pet owners.. 

We have been lucky, in fact blessed, to have Ariana and Jhonatan come into our lives via care.com. We have a 2.5 year old puppy and approx 4 weeks after he came to live with us Ariana and Jhonatan become his other family.Most important to me is knowing that they love Ayo in the way that I do.  They recognize him as a family member the way I do.  They nurture him in the way I want my doggie to be nurtured.  They teach him and train him as their own.Ayo gets to have 2 families, mine and also the family or pack of doggies under Ariana and Jhonatan’s care.He plays daily with dog friends, goes on regular walks, has field trips to beaches.I am also grateful that Ariana and Jhonatan pick up and drop off Ayo.  I work full time, am a single parent of two teenagers, and care for my elderly mother.  Ariana and Jhonatan have truly blessed us by supporting and loving our sweet doggie Ayo.

Our energetic cattle dog Hannah spent two days/week (plus occasional sleepovers) at Jhonatan and Ariana’s for six years, from the time she was a wee puppy until we moved to Oregon this summer. Since I’m retired, we didn’t really need the ‘time off’ for ourselves. It was partly to keep her socialized to other dogs and people, but mostly so that she would have a second home where we could feel totally comfortable boarding her when we went on vacations. We only traveled once or twice a year, but if we had had to put her in a big kennel with dozens of other dogs, even one with lots of space that bills itself as a “play camp” or “doggy spa”, I would have spent my whole trip worrying that she felt overwhelmed by the crowd, and abandoned by us. But she got to know Jhonatan and Ariana and their resident dogs so well that we could always be confident she felt like she was still with family, even when we went a three week trip to Europe. They also take the dogs on neighborhood walks, and (with owner permission) on periodic special outings like the beach, creekside trails, etc., and text lots of photos and videos of the dogs at play. She was always happy and excited to go “play with doggy friends”.  I really can’t imagine a more perfect arrangement, and only wish I could find the equivalent up here.

Hi - please let me know if you want me to add any details to the following.  thank you for the excellent care you always give my pack!
Ariana and Jonathan have been caring for my pets for several years, and are highly skilled pet caregivers able to provide a wide range of services.  I highly recommend them!  They regularly provide dog walking services, as well as daycare when needed.   They provide dog training advice and I’ve seen improvement when on walks myself.

In addition, they care for my crew when I am out of town.   My dogs have always seemed very happy when boarding with them.  I get daily updates with photos and am very happy with the excellent care they receive.  In the past, they’ve cared for my senior dog who required insulin shots twice a day and a special diet.

They also provide cat sitting services, which include twice daily insulin shots for my cat Shaun.   I know Shaun’s stress level is much lower because he can stay home when I am out of town, and he is receiving excellent care.

Jhonatan and Ariana started caring for our dog, Jonas, shortly after we adopted him in late 2015. LIke new dog-parents, we were nervous and had lots of questions about having someone else help care for him. Both Jhonatan and Ariana immediately put us at ease with their care and confidence. 
As a rescue, Jonas was a little skittish and anxious when we first adopted him. He's become a different dog with their care - much more at ease and confident with other dogs.
Anytime Jonas has been in their care, they've done a wonderful job of staying in contact with us, providing updates and photos on Jonas while we're away from him. They have always been responsive and flexible whenever possible.
During one outdoor day excursion with them, Jonas experienced a seizure. (At that time, he was experiencing minor seizures from time to time.) It happened just as Jhonatan was about to drop him off at our house and he messaged us to let us know what was happening. He then stayed with Jonas at our home for over 15 minutes until we could get home to attend to him. Another example of them going above and beyond!
We know we can count on Jhonatan and Ariana for any last-minute asks and know Jonas will be comfortable and in good hands -- often coming tired - but knowing he's had a good day of playing with friends!
We've been so incredibly fortunate and blessed to have such trusted caretakers of our canine companion!

Hello, Jhonatan and Ariana boarded our dogs, Sparky and Coco, for 4 years while we lived in San Jose. Jhonatan and Ariana greeted Sparky and Coco when they arrived at SFO from New Jersey. Jhonatan and Ariana returned Sparky and Coco to SFO when they traveled to Chicago, where they live now.

In between those two SFO trips, Jhonatan and Ariana boarded our boys several times and had them over for daycare twice a week.

Sparky and Coco looked forward to visiting with Jhonatan and Ariana, because they knew they would have a fun day!

Jhonatan and Ariana cared for, and loved, our Sparky and Coco like they were their own!

We trusted Jhonatan and Ariana to take care of our boys then and we would trust them again if we ever moved back to San Jose.

If you need further details on why we love, and miss, Jhonatan and Ariana, please call me at the number below and I would be happy to sing their praises for hours.

Regards,
Clive

We have had Ariana board our dogs when we are out of town for multiple days in a row.  She is like a female Cesar Milan.  She has great dog communicationand control with compassion.
