Safety, trust & environment

I have a boxer named Buefferd, I adopted him from the dog pound in 2015. We jokingly call him King Tut in our house because he rules the roost in our home. Buefferd is super spoiled and enjoys his day's leisure. :) ***UPDATE*** Buefferd recently passed away at the end of August 2024. We are dearly missing his presence. I can now watch your pets for overnight stays at my home in Perry township. We have a doggie door with a small fenced-in area if your pet is used to this accomodation. If not, I will gladly chaperone your pet on a leash in our large back yard.

A paws-itive pet experience

Pet care experience

I have had a special companion by my side since I was 5 years old. I cannot imagine living life without a dog by my side. I just left my job of 23 years at Aultman Hospital to pursue what makes me happy inside, and that is working with animals. I am currently enrolled in a holistic canine massage therapy course and am learning techniques to help dogs with injuries, arthritis and joint pain. I will treat your pets like I would treat my own and respect your privacy and property while caring for your fur babies. Please email me with any questions you may have. Thanks so much for visiting my profile.

Aarika is fantastic and dog loving! My dogs didn’t even mind being away from home. She goes the extra mile every moment and it felt great to not worry about them while we were away!

Aricka was so thoughtful and sweet, from giving our dog lots of walks and play time to sending many pictures for me! So kind and great with our dog -- I hope she's available the next time we need a dogsitter, because she did a wonderful job and our dog would love to go back again!!
