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

Information Ariel R. would like to know about your pet

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

A typical day

Throughout the day, I will take random pictures and videos during certain highlights of our day together (feeding time, play, walks, nap time). I will take extra apon requests on Rover if the owner needs to check in. I am also open to do video chats though Instagram, messenger, or discord if it's requested on meet and greet day❤️ I tend to take less pictures and videos if I'm informed or see you have a camera as I assume you'll check in on your pet on your own I'll stop sending updates by 10pm as I'll be asleep and updates will start again around the morn time shortly after your pet gets breakfast. Playtime varies depending on your pets play style but will be done throughout the day for about 10 to 15 minutes

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!
