Information Ara B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs. I have experience caring for elderly dogs, amputee dogs, and anxious pups. All challenges are welcome with the right preparation and expectations.

A typical day

I have a large fenced in yard with lots of room to run around and plenty of activity options, like herding balls, frisbees, ropes, puzzles, etc. I am also a close drive to multiple greenway trails and love to go for long walks.

Pet care experience

From growing up with dogs to living and working at a mastiff rescue, and now sharing a life with my goofy, sweet blue heeler, Simone, my love for and experience with dogs runs deep. As a good friend once said, dogs can’t lie, and we can’t lie to them. Building trust is my first priority.

I am so grateful for Ara! She did amazing with my young, large dog who can be a handful sometimes. She was very attentive and went above & beyond, making sure all my animals had their needs met & enough attention and love. I appreciate the communication I received as well throughout my trip. Will absolutely be using her again!

Ara has cared for my dog several times when I've had to go out of town for work. She has such a huge heart for animals and my dog absolutely adores her.

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.
