Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! Caring for my own pets is part of my daily routine, so looking after yours fits in naturally. I have a flexible schedule and plan my day around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get the attention, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and love they deserve. Whether your pet enjoys being active or prefers a quiet day full of cuddles, I’m happy to match their routine and keep them comfortable while you’re away.

I currently do not offer in-home stays because our home is getting renovated and it is a little chaotic at times, but I am happy to come to you for all your pet needs!

Information Arica M. would like to know about your pet

Happy to care for any age, range, and breed. Disabled fur babies are also not a challenge for me. Experience with blind and deaf animals.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I like to tailor activities to what they enjoy most! Whether it’s walks, playing fetch, chasing a favorite toy, enrichment, or just relaxing with plenty of cuddles and attention, my goal is to keep them happy, comfortable, and engaged while you’re away.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Arica! I’m a caring, dependable animal lover who treats every pet like family. I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and truly couldn’t imagine it any other way. I currently have one cat, three dogs, and a few birds—and yes, they’re absolutely spoiled because they’re family to me. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy taking the time to earn their trust and make them feel at ease. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities, including cats, dogs, birds, and more. My goal is to provide the same love, patience, and attention that I’d want for my own pets. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and in good hands. I’d love the opportunity to become your trusted go-to pet sitter. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets!

Arica was an incredible dog sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was so kind, patient, and caring with our dog, who can be a little anxious at times. She kept us updated throughout our trip with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her communication was excellent, and she was always reliable and thoughtful. It was obvious she genuinely cared about our dog like he was her own. We’re so grateful for everything she did and are already looking forward to having her watch him again in the future. 100% recommend!!
