Safety, trust & environment

By default when I walk your dog, I avoid other dogs for the safety of your pet. Please inform me on the meet and greet day if there is certain dogs your dog and you know that is ok for interactions. I've been in two dog attacks so far and both dogs qere unharmed due to my methods of protecting my clinets dogs from incoming unleashed dogs that may or may not attack.(body block and pepper spray) I take extra care with puppies as well... Puppies will be puppies eating or chewing stuff they shouldn't. Any personal items I have, I keep in the room you designated me in. I adore puppies so no issue in constant supervision 🤣❤️ Cats ofc will get just as much safety precautions depends on how naughty your cat is and activity level

Ariel had agreed to care for Luffy for both Tuesday (June 23) and Wednesday (June 24), we had an advanced meet and greet and pleasant discussions throughout the day on Tuesday. She was roughly 20 minutes late from her start time on Tuesday morning (8am) though she did make up for his at the back for which we were appreciative. However, we were shocked to learn, at 7:07 am on Wednesday (June 24) that Aerial had cancelled the booking. We have been using the Rover service since last November and this is the first time any sitter has done so with zero advanced notice and explanation. It is disappointing as we had counted on the sitter and had scheduled our day accordingly. It demonstrates a lack of care and accountability.

Ariel went above and beyond with her care of our sweet cat and dog. They both immediately loved her. She provided us with updates that kept us reassured our fur bbs were in good hands. She even cut our dog’s nails and gave her a bath. We will definitely be booking Ariel for another stay.

This is the second time Ariel has cared for Biscuit. She is responsive and a wonderful caretaker for our dog.

As usual Ariel is amazing, I have had her watch my large dog Luna and she loves the time she spends with Ariel. She gets plenty or love an treats while I am away. I can enjoy my time away from home knowing Ariel is there taking care of things. Highly recommend and will be booking her again soon!

Our dog was in great spirits when we came home and Ariel left our apartment super clean. We really appreciated her easygoing attitude and how much she understands dog behavior!!

Ariel was great with Achilles. Since he’s an older dog his care is a little more specific (pees often and needs to be bottle fed). She handled it all very well and there were no issues during the stay that she didn’t take care of. I would use her again!

Any allergies and/or medication your pet has that they need to take. Also if they have any mobility limitations. I am able to assist senior dogs with stairs and such so don't be shy to inform me of this during meet and greets PLEASE INFORM ME OF ANY AND ALL CAMERAS IN OR AROUND YOUR HOME. Any cameras found in bathrooms and / or the area i will be sleeping will result in a immediate cancelation Please be sure to show me where any spare cleaning products is as per my services, I clean the place before you come back out of courtesy from staying in your home Please also inform me of trash placement and any recycling rules you may have so I can dispose of any trash I accumulate properly for you If your expecting any packages while your away, feel free to send me a message and I'll be sure to get it for you For The owners with Reactive Dogs, feel free to inform me as much as possible any triggers and walk routes to take to best avoid triggers and above all it's ok. I'm use to it. All dogs are different and will be treated to the same love and care regardless while your away. In terms of Human Reactive dogs should anything occur, i will inform you immediately Not required but if you prefer for me not to message you while your away as much, I do appreciate a DOC or WORD copy of the pet care instructions either emailed to me or printed out and placed somewhere i will find it. This also is handy in the event the Rover App shuts down or is otherwise inaccessible to me, i can still have all the care information
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.
