“Ariel came through in a serious pinch once I found out the Santa Cruz Boardwalk was not dog friendly--the horror!

I would definitely use Ariel again next time I'm in Santa Cruz”
17. Desiree Y.
About: I have an adorable rescue dog named Ollie. He is almost 4 years old and such a good boy. I also used to have dogs when I was younger. My work allows me chunks of time off between jobs. Often, I’ll end up with a month or so at home. I take lots of neighborhood walks with my dog. I have a fenced yard and a dog of my own to keep yours company. There is also an option to section off the house with a dog gate if needed.
