Information Ariel S. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know the pet’s temperament ahead of time, along with likes and dislikes, favorite foods, energy levels, and whether they tend to get along with other animals or people.

A typical day

Pets need to have fun too, so typically I keep them entertained and stimulated by playing toys/games, visiting a nearby park, letting them socialize, or going for a walk/run! I love spending time with animals, especially cuddling together on the bed or couch.

Pet care experience

I’ve been on Rover for more than 2 years, with an additional 13 years of experience being a previous dog owner. As someone who adores all animals, especially both dogs and cats, I can’t wait to get to know your beloved four-legged companion! Pets are our best friends, and I promise to always look after yours with the utmost attentive care. I have been a regular volunteer at the animal protection organization SPCA International. Over the years, I’ve become the go-to sitter for dozens of clients, friends, and family.

Olive had a great time with Ariel! She was so attentive, took lots of pictures and made Olive stay very comfortable. I’ll be hiring her again for boarding!

Ariel is an extremely thoughtful and communicative dogsitter. From the start she asked thoughtful questions about Ollie and his typical habits. She took great care of him and sent updates along the way. Ollie was sad to part from her after just one day. He's looking forward to seeing her again soon!

I hired Ariel to look after my pet and I am absolutely delighted with her service. She took all my requests into account with great care and attention. As soon as she arrived at my home, she sent me updates with photos, which was very reassuring. She checked the food, refilled everything as needed, and made sure everything was perfectly in order. Despite my last-minute request, she was able to make herself available very quickly, which I greatly appreciated. Ariel is reliable, gentle, and very professional. I recommend her wholeheartedly and will definitely use her services again.
