Hello fellow animal lovers! I’m Ariel, a person with a passion for all animals. I have had a variety of pets throughout my life and currently have two Bernese Mountain Dogs and a lion head rabbit. I started using Rover as a client a little over 2 years ago and thought it would be the perfect place to continue to help people and animals and put my skills to a great use. I have worked as a Certified Veterinary Technician in Minnesota for 9 years now and animals are my true calling in life. I am experienced working with animals with special needs both behaviorally and medically. I can easily administer any medication your pet might need. I am fear free certified and have training experience training therapy dogs during my years at school. I am also comfortable caring for a variety of types of pets. I am knowledgeable in caring for small mammals/ pocket pets and reptiles along with cats and dogs. You can rest assured knowing your pet is in my care. My two biggest passions with animals being a veterinary technician are senior care and nutrition. I enjoy giving senior pets the extra TLC they may need to keep them happy and healthy at home. I also have an interest in grooming. If your pet needs a nail trim, bath, brush, sani shave, or to have their anal glands expressed I can help with that. My goal while caring for your pets is to make them feel as loved and cared for as if you were there home with them. I have a big love for all animals and will care for yours as if they were my own. They deserve all the love and attention and I am happy to be the person who fills that role while you are gone. I strongly believe I’m the best person to care for your pets while you are away and I can’t wait for the opportunity to get to know them and you!
