Ratings and reviews
Aarika was absolutely amazing! I was nervous because I’d never left my dog before but she was loving, caring, kind and sent me lots of photos videos and updates to keep my mind at ease. She was the best- definitely recommend!!

Aarika is one of the best hosts Oliver has had. She is sweet and caring and Oliver seems to be in great spirits every time we drop him off. She's amazing!

Aarika is amazing. She was on time and my pups love her. Highly recommend her!
Hi, Aarika . . . My friend, Andy, had this to say about the wonderful experience he had with his dog, Jollie, who stayed at your house . . . it was my pleasure to connect you two, as well! He will be signing up with his own page with Rover so that he can make all future reservations directly. Best--Judy . . . "I had the best experience with Aarika taking care of my dog during my 5 day vacation. This was the first time that my little Maltese was being taken care of by a dog sitter via Rover. Her profile and all the reviews spoke highly of her care and gentleness about her guest dogs. Aarika has a Maltese and another small dog along with a rabbit. From the first moment after arrival, I noticed how welcoming she was with my dog and also with me and the fact that my dog immediately got along with her 2 dogs was a great sign. Her dogs were very friendly with my dog and me and I could see why she wanted to make sure her guest dogs were not aggressive She asked about my dog's feeding ritual and asked if she could give her some treats when she gave treats to her dogs. I had taken my dog's bed, food, food/water bowls, toys, and leash. Aarika sent pictures and updates at least twice a day and sometimes 3 times. She responded to my text messages promptly and as time passed I knew that I had chosen her well. Her house was well suited to house her 3 pets along with a guest pet. A fully fenced backyard, enough room for all dogs to feel comfortable in their own space while sleeping in their beds or walking around in the house. My dog not only got along with her 2 dogs but also made friends with her rabbit. When I went to pick up my dog, she told me that my dog fit very well in her house with her family and pets and said that she would welcome us going back for a visit which we will gladly. I highly recommend this individual to take care of your dog while on your vacation. She is a great asset to Rover." Thank you, Andy Hakopian Netsmart Systems, Inc

We had a last minute cancelation with another sitter and were very lucky to have found Aarika. She treated our pups like her own and made sure to give us text updates throughout their stay. We also enjoyed the photos and videos of them interacting with Cinnabun their family bunny. We will definitely contact her again for any future board and care.


Aarika and her family were great to our dog Faffy. So much so that she was sad the whole day after. I think she was missing them. We are so happy to have found them. She sent us several pics of her and in all the pics she’s actually smiling. When we picked her up she was fluffier than ever and smelled so good, and happy. Compared to when she was staying at a puppy hotel she was so sad and smelled so bad. We recommend he without a doubt.

A typical day
Your dog’s day will be filled with fun, structure, and lots of love. From safe backyard playtime and daily walks to interactive toys and treat puzzles, I focus on keeping dogs both physically active and mentally stimulated. Between activities, there’s plenty of downtime for naps and snuggles.
