Pet care experience

Love Them Like They’re Mine ^_^

I’ve been a pet sitter since graduating college in 2019 and even took care of my roommates dog when needed. I am I full time vet tech so I have knowledge on administrating medication and how to care for senior dogs/cats. Bully breeds have a special place in my heart and the few I’ve taken care of are on the anxious side so if you need more than one meet and greet place let me know. It’s best that your fur baby can trust me while I care for them in your place.

This is the second time I've had Arika come stay at my home to watch my pup William and I can't recommend her enough!

Arika was absolutely wonderful! She took care of my senior pup for me - who definitely has some quirks and needs medication daily. Id never had anyone other then family watch him when Ive been away so I was nervous and she calmed all my anxieties. She even sent photos throughout the stay. 12/10 Will have Arika come dog sit again if Im ever in need.

Arika took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. She sent us daily updates with pictures to let us know how he was doing. She’s the best!

I would like to know their likes and dislikes, as well as any allergies and places to avoid on walks if there is any. As well as, any specific routines and/or disciplines that you have with your pet(s). I have no breed preference.
