Availability

I work full time in Construction Management but I am currently working from home a few days a week and open weekends for ample time to spend with your pups. We also host a Sniffspot private dog park for rent out on our property that we can take walks on in between bookings and live right down from Little Mountain Park for hiking or walking along the trails. We also live conveniently located 3 miles from I-5 for quick drop off and pickup off the freeway. I am available on all days of the week for boarding depending on the dog and owner with a meet and greet as I will be at the office Monday - Wednesday from 0730-400 and the dog would be with my at my office which sits on multiple acres with walks every 2 hours. Contact me anytime if you have any questions.

Information Aarika C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs ahead of time so I can be prepared. I work from home so I am still working during the day but take plenty of breaks for playing outside and my office is right at my living room where they have full range to play and relax during the day.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs daily with outdoor walks around our 12 acres and finding new smells, playing fetch in the lower fenced in backyard and walks around Little Mountain Park. Playing games inside depending on the weather. Relaxing in the living room resting in between play time.

Aarika is so nice and was great with Hugo. She sent pictures and kept us informed of Hugo’s day. She has a great yard for the dogs and a super sweet pup herself who got along great with Hugo. Highly recommend!!

Aarika was absolutely amazing!! She was flexible and communicative through our entire last-minute planning process. She sent daily progress updates and photos of our sweet boy smiling and having so much fun (and getting lots of pats, which he loves!!) We will absolutely be booking with Aarika again! :)

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
