Arica's Pet Sitting
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer boarding or care in your home?
No—I provide care exclusively in your pet’s home. Staying in a familiar environment helps reduce stress and allows pets to remain in their normal routine.
How often are visits scheduled?
Care is typically provided through two visits per day—one in the morning and one in the evening. This structure allows for consistent, dependable care.
Is that enough for every pet?
Not always. Some pets need more frequent attention. During the meet-and-greet, we’ll talk through your pet’s needs to make sure this schedule is a comfortable and appropriate fit.
What happens during a visit?
Each visit is centered around your pet’s routine and may include feeding, fresh water, walks or exercise, litter or yard care, and time for companionship. I also take note of behavior, appetite, and overall condition.
Do you walk dogs?
Yes—walks can be included as part of a visit, depending on your dog’s routine and comfort.
Do you provide off-leash exercise?
For safety, dogs are kept on leash or within securely enclosed areas.
Can you administer medications?
Yes, when clear instructions are provided. I follow your directions carefully to maintain consistency.
What happens in case of an emergency?
If a concern arises, I will contact you right away. If immediate care is needed, I will seek veterinary attention based on your preferences and emergency information provided.
Will I receive updates?
Yes. You’ll receive an update after each visit, along with photos when possible, so you can feel confident your pet is doing well.
What experience do you bring to your work?
My background includes mobile dog grooming and positive reinforcement-based training, which supports calm handling, consistency, and attentive care.
How long are visits?
Visits range from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on your pet’s needs.
How do I get started?
We’ll begin with a meet-and-greet to review your pet’s routine and make sure it’s a good fit.
