Kind, Loving & Dependable

I began pet sitting and dog walking through Rover in 2019, in addition to dog walking through Wag!. Between 2022-2024, I shifted my focus mainly to Wag!, but with the newfound flexibility of remote work, I have decided to make my triumphant return to Rover! In addition to pet sitting through these companies, I also regularly pet sit for my employers, coworkers, friends, and roommates. The following experiences exemplify my love for animals and the kind of care I will give to your pet: #1: I spent an hour patiently waiting for a rescue dog (traumatized by prior abuse) to warm up to me enough to get out of her cage and go for a 30 minute walk. After many treats and reassurances, she quickly learned to trust me and was beaming the entire walk. I sent the owner multiple pictures to show her progress. #2: I pet sat two elderly dogs. One of whom started to show signs of illness while I was house sitting. The moment I noticed changes in his behavior (not eating, low energy), I contacted the owners, who guided me through the situation and were appreciative of my care and concern. I grew up with a border collie mix named Domino (aka Domi). Domi and I would often engage in staring contests, and he would always win. I hope to soon adopt a rescue of my own so that I can shower it with loads of love and affection. In the meantime, I am satisfied being a loving aunt to my roommates' toy poodle, whom I often take on walks and engage in endless games of catch and tug-of-war. If I sound like a good fit for you and your pet, please do not hesitate to reach out! Whether you would like to set up time for a meet-and-greet or ask further questions, I am here and eager to assist!

Ari was amazing with Eli. She played with him and gave him so much attention and he loved it! He was so relaxed when we came back, it was clear they had a strong bond. Ari is lovely, responsible, and communicative. Would love to have her again and strongly recommend her.

Ari took great care of our senior Chihuahua, our cat, and our home while we were away. She was very communicative and sent lots of updates and photos, giving us peace of mind during our trip. We’re planning to use her services again!

Schedule

I currently work a full time job M-F 10am-8pm ET, however I have flexibility with remote work, which allows me to house sit and go on walks during the work-week in the morning, afternoon and evening. My preference for walks (no house sitting) is typically the early morning or evening during the weekdays and anytime during the weekend, but I will do my best to accommodate your needs.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Ariel can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I always like to ask pet owners "What are some no-no spots?" Some pets do not like to be pet on the belly or near the rear, while others do not like it when you touch their ears. That would be nice to know ahead of time, in addition to any triggers (i.e. other dogs or animals, loud noises, fast movements, etc.)
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
