Pet care experience

Passionate Pet Professional

I have worked professionally in the pet industry for the past 3 years; I currently am a manager at a doggy daycare in Edgewater and have previously worked at a grooming salon and another doggy daycare. I am certified in pet CPR and first aid from PetTech. I have experience with senior dogs with significant medical needs such as insulin shots, high energy puppies who are still working on their training, leash reactive dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, dogs with special diets, you name it! I am reliable, communicative, and dedicated to making your pets feel loved and at home. I can also take care of cats and small animals.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In taking care of your pets, I have no problem adhering to their unique schedules, needs, and routines. However particular or simple the care is, I can easily fulfill it. I will be respectful of your home and only use items that are needed for your pet or that you permit me to, and I am extra cautious about keys, alarms, and locks.

Ariel was great! My dog is weary around new people, but Ariel was patient and my pup quickly warmed up to her.

Ariel is quiet and kind---which calms my energetic beagle and puts me at ease. She also works at a local doggy daycare so I trust she has great experience and all of her coworkers told me great things. She's super communicative and left my house clean and in the same condition as when I left (which other sitters have not). HIGHLY recommend!

Ariel took excellent care of my 13 year old pup for an overnight sitting. She followed the instructions, was patient with him in the rain, and worked around my travel schedule/his needs.

Ariel was amazing- punctual, responsive, kind, and knowledgeable. And our dog loved her! We will certainly book her again.

Ariel stayed at our place for over a week caring for our pets and we returned to happy animals and a tidy apartment. She was communicative when I initiated which I really appreciated.

Schedule

I am often taking care of pets round the clock, coming home from my full time job at a doggy daycare to sit a client's pet or take care of my own animals. While I work 8 hours a day, I can generally let out your dogs every four hours depending on location, as I can check in on them on my break. My weekends are completely free.

I can work with dogs of all breeds, ages, needs, and backgrounds. Let me know about medications, special needs, routines, or whatever else your dog needs to thrive and I will happily oblige.
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.
