Pet/House Caretaker and Walker

🐾 Active, Loving & Reliable Dog Sitter! Hi! I’m an energetic and compassionate animal lover with 10+ years of pet-care experience. I truly love animals and enjoy staying active, so walking, running, and hiking with dogs is one of my favorite things to do! 🐕🥾 I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, personalities, and special needs. I also have a large vehicle, so I can take your pup on fun outdoor adventures when appropriate. I’m flexible, dependable, and will treat your dog like my own. Their safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priority. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! ❤️

Ariel was wonderful! Our three dogs all vary in personality and she understood that and took the steps to love on them all appropriately. She kept us updated with texts and photos and we came home to happy and healthy dogs! Will use her again :)

Ariel was great for my little pug Archie while I was away for a week. She was very caring, attentive, and loving for my pup and had great communication. She stayed at my apartment and left it in such great shape!

Ariel was amazing! She took great care of our house and our pets. She sent daily photos and updates and took our dog for his favorite walks. Would 100% recommend her and use her again :)

Ariel was great and my boys loved her. She messaged regularly, sent pictures and gave updates. We would book her again when needing a sitter and would recommend her to others. She went above and beyond what I expected.

My experience with Ariel was very worrisome and violating. I booked overnight care for my dog on multiple occasions with her. She knew I had a Furbo camera in my home. On the last booking, it was alarming to see random people in my house without Ariel present. She had invited friends over to my home without my knowledge and consulting with me first. I had no idea where my dog was or who was in my house. When confronted with these events, she lied about what had happened and come to find out, Ariel was sleeping while her friends roamed around my house and not watching my dog. To me, this makes me question her character and she will not take care of my dog again. She took advantage of the situation and absolutely betrayed any trust I have with her or anyone on Rover. Would have rated 0 stars if given the choice.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I have a flexible schedule and enjoy staying active, so I love incorporating walks, runs, hikes, and quality time with pets into my day. I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet I care for, whether they need exercise and playtime or simply some companionship and cuddles. I’m reliable, organized, and happy to work around each pet’s individual routine and needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet like they’re my own and always follow their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, a clean space, plenty of attention, exercise, and any special care they need. I’m happy to follow specific instructions for feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and bedtime routines. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

A typical day

I love keeping pets active, happy, and entertained! Depending on their personality and energy level, we can go for walks, runs, hikes, play with their favorite toys, practice basic commands, or enjoy some outdoor time. For lower-energy pets, I’m just as happy to spend time cuddling, relaxing, and giving them plenty of attention. I always tailor activities to what each pet enjoys most! 🐾❤️

I believe getting to know each pet ahead of time is so important because every animal has their own personality, quirks, routines, and ways of showing what they need. I love taking the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. At the same time, I know things don’t always go exactly as planned, so I’m very flexible and happy to adjust to whatever your pet needs. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re in a familiar, loving environment even while you’re away. ❤️
