I usually start the day with a potty break of course. In between the next potty break, food is offered. We make sure to have lots of play time, and toys available. Along with the occasional brush-out and pampering.

Pet care experience

My prices are a little higher due to the 20 percent Rover fee. Talk to me and we will figure it out 😁 I have been interested in dogs and animal behavior for as long as I can remember. I love learning about every animal and customizing each experience to be an enjoyable one. My home is equipped with everything needed for anything your pet might require. I have cameras in the rare event they are left alone. And reinforced fencing tested by several escape artists. I have gathered quite the collection of treats, medicines, brushes, toys, and anything else you can think of. I managed an animal rescue/boarding facility and I have worked at 2 different dog hotels. I have experience in many different types of behaviors as well as different emergencies and problem solving. I have pictured my husband, because he does live at my home with me, and may be involved with your pets. He grew up around dogs as well and loves to get dirty and play with them.

Ara is so great. Our puppy had the best time with her and she will be our go-to person going forward.

Ara took great care of our funny little pup, easily taking in numerous instructions about our dog's particular personality and habits. It was a relief to find somewhere safe for Rosie to stay out of the heat. Ara was also very flexible with our last minute changes to drop off and pickup.

Ara was very helpful, great communication, and fit us in last minute. The dogs seemed very happy after their time with her. Thank you!

I'd never left Luca before, and was pretty anxious about doing so. He's a rescue dog, and I was told he is very reactive to other dogs (and had seen that on our own outings) and needs to be a one dog household. Ara assured me that he could have his own space if he and her dog didn't get along. After some initial wariness on Luca's part, he and Ara's dog played well together. Ara's experience and confidence in working with anxious, overstimulated, and reactive dogs is so reassuring. I know that I have a safe, comfortable environment where Luca can thrive when I need it. I will definitely bring Luca back!
