Commander of the weens and keeper of the one eyed retrievers! I modify my schedule to fit you and your pets needs!

House Sitting • Mar 31, 2025

Arika was a wonderful dog and house sitter. She cared for our 3 dogs while we were out of the country and she made us feel completely at ease. We hope to have her back again and again!

Arika took such good care of our Gordo! She took him on daily walks and kept us in the loop with pictures throughout. She was communicative and reliable and we had no issues trusting her with taking good care of our lil guy.

This was the second time Arika watched our dogs and she continues to be amazing! Arika really helped me and my pups on short notice! She was very accommodating, adhered to my dogs schedule, and was very flexible. We had her watch our dogs during a medical procedure and she really helped us out by not having to worry about our two little babies getting the best care!

Arika took great care of our dog Jax! She took him on lots of walks and Jax got plenty of outside/play time. We really appreciated that she regularly updated us with photos while we were away. Would definitely book again!
