Arica was fantastic! My cat is really shy, so I was nervous leaving her for a week, but Arica was very kind and made me feel a lot better about it. By the end of the stay, my cat was already starting to come out of her shell, which was really reassuring to hear. I felt like my cat was well cared for and in a home with people who genuinely love animals. I would absolutely trust Arica to watch her again.

Juno has stayed with Arica and family twice now and had a ball each time. Juno was treated like a member of the family and I was very comfortable leaving her there. A++ service for sure. I highly recommend!

Arica is fantastic. She understands that our pets are like our children. She sent updates and pictures. It gave me piece of mind knowing that our pet was being treated well and that as is very important.

Kaja had a wonderful stay with Arica. Arica sent photos of Kaja with her family and I could just feel that there was a reciprocal enjoyment of being together. Arica was in touch we me often just giving me feedback on her stay. I really appreciated that. There is no doubt we will be happy to send our Golden to Arica’s home with total peace of mind.
