Aarika is always super communicative and sends the best pics of our pup when he’s with her!

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! :)

Aarika was very responsive, polite and flexible. I felt that she was easily accessible. My pup was very happy and clearly well taken care of. It was clear to me that she treated him as if he was her own and that’s exactly what I’m looking for in a Dog Sitter . I almost don’t want to leave her a good review because I want to keep her services all to myself! Haha .

We bought a puppy in Dec of last year, we were still in AZ for 1 more month. Aarika fostered our puppy for a month. She sent videos every day, was always walking her as Kya (puppy) had a lot of energy. She was amazing with Kya, I have so many videos of her playing and training. We had a dog that passed a year before, so I knew this breed was high energy. We picked her up end of January. Aarika went through every thing she had taught her with hand signals. Sit, stay, wait, no. Kya did every one of them, I remember standing there shocked, Kya was perfect. She let us know when she needed to go out, so Aarika taught her that as well! Since Kya was 4 mo when we went home to San Juan Island, WA. Not once and mean not once did Kya ever have an accident in home to this day, she’s over a year old now. I credit Aarika for it all. She has so much patience with animals, it was a miracle as I didn’t train my first dog that well till she was 2+ years. So Aarika is phenomenal with animals, they are all attracted to her as they sense her calmness. If we weren’t now in AZ I wouldn’t hesitate to have Kya stay with Aarika as I know she’ll come back better than when we left her. She’s amazing and would be a perfect dog sitter❤️🐾🐾🐾

Schedule

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.

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.
