Ari has always had a deep love for animals and, from a young age, aspired to become a veterinarian. While that path led in a different direction, she found a fulfilling way to channel her passion at Rover Oaks, where she is dedicated to providing exceptional care to every pet she meets. Ari is often one of the trusted team members called upon to support especially anxious pets, offering them the same patience, compassion, and understanding she gives her own.

Through her time at the resort, Ari also found a best friend in her dog, Draco. After being surrendered by his previous owner, Draco went home with Ari for a weekend—and quickly found his forever home. With consistent care, training, and patience, Ari has helped Draco grow into a confident, well-mannered companion, both at the resort and in public settings. At home, Draco shares his life with two feline sisters who keep things lively and never miss a chance to compete for Ari's attention.
