Dog-obsessed world traveler

Pet care experience

I would adopt multiple dogs if I had the time/space/resources to care for them. I travel a lot for my job, so it isn't possible for me to own a dog right now. But I would love to take care of yours! I am on Rover primarily to spend time with dogs, rather than the money. I usually work 9 - 5, but I can arrange to have more flexible hours if necessary. I have experience taking care of dogs with various anxieties and understand that sometimes dogs need more attention and care than other times. I will spend as much time as possible with your dog, going on walks, to the dog park, and playing games. I am also experienced in ensuring dogs stick to their feeding schedules and administering medication. I try to follow the owner's routine as closely as possible, to make the transition easier on the dog. I can't wait to meet your pet!

Ariel is the best! She not only took time to come meet us and our dogs a couple times before the sit date, but she also understood and was patient about their special needs. Her calm demeanor put everyone at ease (fur babies and human parents alike), and we felt completely comfortable and confident having Ariel stay with them for a few days. While we were gone she did an excellent job of checking in and reporting back to us their habits and behaviors on walks, which we really appreciate because that’s where we are working with them the most. When we came home, the house was spotless and the dogs were happy! Thank you, Ariel!!

Ariel was a life-saver! I came down sick and was confined indoors for several days. I needed a last-minute dog-walker and really appreciated Ariel's flexibility and daily availability. Will definitely use her services when needed for future. Thanks, Ariel!

Ariel took great care of George and left our apartment in great shape. He can be leash reactive and she handled him well. We would definitely have her Pet sit again.

Information Ariel S. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if certain things make the dog nervous (thunder, etc), whether they are comfortable around other dogs, and whether people (particularly children) can pet them when we're out walking.

A typical day

I live near Rock Creek Park, so we'd go on long walks in the woods and along the creek.
