I have a ten year old mixed-breed doggo. We lived together in Athens, Greece for the better part of her life. When I decided to bring her to Edinburgh, I was afraid she wouldn’t adapt well given that she was not trained beyond the basic commands of ‘sit, stay, paw’. I thought she had separation anxiety and issues with other female dogs. My biggest fear was that I wouldn’t be able to let her off the lead due to her history of running after stray cats, even into busy roads. Until my partner and I found Ariana. After a lot of research, we decided that Ariana would be up for the task. And boy she was! Not only did she manage to tame this predatory beast, she also taught us the most important things, which are how to understand and communicate with our dog, how to meet her needs, and how to provide her with a safe and calm environment. Now, the walks which had been so stressful in the past have become the most blissful and enjoyable thing to do with her. We can now happily let her off lead and let her explore her surroundings, knowing that she’ll come back. In addition, leaving her alone at home is no longer another stress – thanks to Ariana’s help, we saw a huge improvement in this in literally 24 hours. To our surprise, Ariana helped us to realise that our dog wasn’t actually the one with the separation anxiety… Ariana is an excellent trainer who knows and understands animal behaviour and psychology. She truly loves and cares for your animal and wants the best for them. The only thing you have to do is listen to her, and follow her advice! We’re so grateful for all her help and support.

Arianna looked after our cat Skye (8yrs old rescue cat, who we’d had for a couple of months) while we were on holiday. She is amazing! So kind and thoughtful. When we got back Skye was more confident and relaxed - I attribute this to Arianna’s care. Arianna gave so much more than cat sitting - she shared advice and guidance on how best to take care of Skye and give her a good life. I would recommend Arianna without hesitation - she is one of the jewels in the crown of Edinburgh. Thank you so much Arianna, from Skye and the Wellers X

Arianna looked after my two cats, Lotte and Ruby, and my flat for six weeks and she did an amazing job. Not only did she keep me updated with little stories and pictures, but she also made sure to follow the routine my cats were used to. When I came back both of them seemed happier than before (they weren’t even upset with me) and the flat was spotless. I would recommend Arianna to everyone and I will also use her service in the future again. Her reliable and trustworthy nature struck me when I first met her for an interview. She is one in a million.

Arianna has several times looked after our two cats who are not easy customers. But she had them eating out of her hand and cared for them very well. She is responsible and reliable and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her as a pet and house sitter. She is also great company and fun to have around.

We are always delighted to recommend Arianna and her services. We found her to be extremely trustworthy and flexible. Arianna built a strong and wonderful rapport with our pet dog Brodie and her expert advice on his development was most welcome by us as first time pet owners. Arianna is undoubtedly our best find since we moved to Edinburgh. Hector & Hannah, Edinburgh

I was recommended Arianna by the Just Dogs shop in Stockbridge. When I had a motorbike accident and was unable to walk our 15 year old English Springer Spaniel Ella, Arianna stepped in to help. Arianna quickly gained Ella's trust, and we knew that Ella was safe in her hands. Arianna is very kind, gentle and thoughtful, and always making sure that Ella, as a more senior dog, is comfortable with the exercise she is having, and gives great attention to her. Arianna is a very trustworthy person to deal with, always cheerful and friendly. We could not have found a more caring dog walker and I cannot recommend Arianna highly enough.

Arianna looked after our two cats while we were away on holiday. They really took to her and we knew they were in good hands as she sent us regular updates and videos. She also provided several tips on food, litter etc,. for us on our return. We were pleased to come home to two very contented cats. Fraser & Miranda, Edinburgh.

We have a very nervous cat called Dolly, who was abused before we rescued her. We hate leaving her alone as she is so timid and afraid of strangers. Arianna has immediately bonded with Dolly and using her phychological training has helped her build up her confidence this allowing us to go away for weekends, safe in the knowledge that our precious pet is being cared for. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mindful Pets.

Arianna is the best dog sitter, trainer, dog walker ever! Her dedication to animals is outstanding, her knowledge immense and I admire her ability to understand and communicate with our furry friends. 100% recommend her services!

Everything as it should be

Arriana is lovely and so helpful, I was at breaking point with my puppy and wondering if id made the right decision to get him. I contacted Mindful Pets and she’s helped turned everything around for us. Arriana took the time to look at every aspect of our situation and was always on hand for advice. I’m so grateful and I’m finally at the point where I’m actually enjoying being a dog owner and he’s a much happier little puppy!

(Translated) working with Arianna has been a very rewarding experience. it taught me to establish a new relationship with Ikisi and better understand her needs. Which considering he's already 8 years old and has always had the same problems wasn't easy. Ikisi's improvements have also been noticed by my friends which is amazing! Having several appointments was also very useful from the point of view of communication, the more knowledge grew the more the advice and techniques were detailed, I would not recommend a single appointment I consider the most appropriate path for the purpose. Finally thank you very much! (Original) lavorare con Arianna è stata un esperienza molto gratificante. mi ha insegnato ad instaurare un nuovo rapporto con Ikisi e capire meglio le sue necessita. Che consideranco che ha già 8 anni e ha sempre avuto gli stessi problemi non è stato facile. I miglioramenti di ikisi sono stati notati anche dai miei amici il che è sorprendente! Avere diversi appuntament è stato molto utile anche dal punto di vista della cominicazione, piu la conoscenza cresceva piu i consigli e le tecniche erano dettagliate, non consiglerei un solo appuntamento considero il percorso piu appropriato allo scopo. In fine grazie mille!

I re-homed a lovely but re-actively aggressive French Bulldog who saw every dog as a threat. Ariana showed me the tools to build trust between her and myself on walks in and around Edinburgh (I was super anxious about her getting mauled by other dogs, and my anxiety was part of the problem too!). Within a month, I saw immense improvement in her reactivity to dogs and now can confidently let her off off lead. Ariana has a lovely calm presence and has a really deep understanding of dog and human interaction. she truly is a "Dog Whisperer" in every sense of the word.

I had issues with my English bulldog puppy and needed advice on how to train her. Within 10 months of patience and Arianna’s help, Betty has become a very good dog. I would highly recommend Ariana especially with the Bulldog breed.

We first contacted Arianna because we thought that our dog, Mortimer, was reactive to people and other dogs. He used to bark angrily to everyone and we were starting to feel like we couldn’t control nor teach our pup to behave better. Any other trainer would have probably just treated Mortimer like an aggressive/reactive dog, but Arianna spent lot of time and energy trying to understand the deeper meaning and causes of Mortimer’s behaviour. She taught us how to truly improve our relationship with Mortimer by learning how to understand him better. Just after three lessons we saw not only Mortimer’s improvements but also ours, we were all becoming more confident and happy together! I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of advice because she really care about each dog like her own. Thanks Arianna for all your help!

We were struggling to raise our little Corgi in our flat, and put a lot of hopes on Arianna, from Mindful Pets, to help us bond with our girl. We not only got amazing advice on bonding and training, but we found someone we could confide on and get supported during a lot of troublesome times (our little puppy has had some misfortunes in her short life). Arianna is friendly, knowledgeable, incredibly dedicated and Aki adores her. We are truly glad we decided to give Arianna a message a few months ago, it completely changed how we perceive our relationship with our dog.

I really enjoyed working with Arianna to help my cocker spaniel puppy grow in confidence and to become less anxious. Arianna has such a wealth of knowledge and experience and over several in depth sessions, she was able to help me understand his needs better. Using her suggested techniques and ideas, it resulted in him demonstrating greater independence and improved behaviour.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Arianna. By way of background, Dougal, a cockerpoo is our first dog and while we received tips from friends and observed their good (and bad) habits, we felt that we needed guidance. We engaged with Arianna on a one-to-one basis for six sessions. She helped enormously and most importantly explained the psychology of dogs and their needs. We have a much happier puppy, a better relationship and more confident dog – and owners. All very worthwhile. Thank you Arianna. Graham

I had adopted two dogs from the Dog's Trust in January 2020. Over the next few months I worked with the dogs, settling them into our home, routines, etc. Like all dogs they do have some behavioural issues. I engaged Arianna of Mindful Pets to work with me, to understand their individual issues and help me with tools and training to improve their behaviour. I was delighted with how Arianna works - she is interested in the psychology of the animals and studies how they react in their home environment, outside, socialising with other dogs and reactions to people and situations. She also focusses on their nutrition. I now have the tools and understanding in place to keep working with my dogs - we are all so much happier. Highly recommend Arianna and Mindful Pets.

Arianna has looked after our house and two cats on several occasions. We have been away for up to ten days at a time and have returned each time to a spotlessly clean house and two very happy cats. Arianna is a very nice and friendly person who genuinely loves the animals in her care, I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a house sitter.
