Pet care experience

Loving and reliable animal care!

Animals have always been a big part of my life. I started helping my mom at a humane society when I was around 13, where we fostered kittens until they were ready to be adopted. That’s where I really learned patience and how to care for animals with different needs and personalities. I’ve grown up with pets my whole life-dogs, cats, and fish, so I’m very comfortable with everyday care like feeding, routines, and paying attention to behavior. I also currently work in animal care at Oxbow Meadows, where I take care of reptiles and amphibians. It’s given me a lot of hands-on experience and made me really confident handling all kinds of animals. I know every pet is different, so I try to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for my your pets I keep it similar to how i treat my own animals unless called for otherwise. I regularly take them out on walks and potty breaks, play time is a must and I like to keep a strict eye on the pet to make sure they're safe and sound at all times. I will always keep in contact with you and give regular updates in pictures of how your pet is doing.

Ariel was so awesome!! She house sat with my dog for the weekend and everything went great. She was very kind, easy to communicate with, sent pictures while I was away, and mostly importantly loved on my puppy when I couldn’t!! I highly recommend her and will be contacting her again in the future.

Ariel can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Before I sit with your pet please let me know of any important information that comes with accompanying your pet. If any medication is needed or a specific routine etc. Meet and greets before any drop in or house sitting stay is very important to me, so we can all make sure it's a perfect fit and I can experience what caring for your pets will be like before the stay and have minimal issues.
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.
