I'll love your dog like it's my own

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Erika and thank you for checking out my profile and considering me to take care of your 4 legged friend! Dogs are one of my favorite animals so, I can say without a doubt, I have the coolest job ever! I grew up owning dogs my entire life. Just about every breed from a St. Bernard to a teacup Yorkie. In addition to caring for my own pets, in the past, I volunteered at a local animal shelter in Florida. I’m also a foster mama to dogs/puppies in the Virginia Beach area. I feel completely confident taking care of ALL dogs no matter what size or breed they are (we don’t discriminate.) However, your dog MUST get along with our dogs and children. I do highly recommend a meet and greet before your stay, especially for new clients. (I understand certain situations may not allow time for one, message me and we can discuss further.) Please do not hesitate to message me if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your pets! Have a great day! **NOTICE: I'm asking all my clients to please make sure your pet is up to date on all of their vaccinations. I’m a stay at home mom so I’m very flexible accommodating your pets needs. Your dog will get lots of love from our family and we will treat them like one of our own. We live in a house with a nice size back yard for the dogs to play. My back yard is completely fenced in (6ft wooden) which is perfect for the dogs to run around and play or play fetch! My dogs love to play and make new friends! I have everything your fur baby will need while they’re under our care. We have spare kennels (if needed), dog beds, toys, bones and much more! All I ask is that you bring enough food for him or her. I DO NOT KEEP SPARE FOOD ON HAND. You are also welcome to bring their favorite blanket, bed or anything else they might like to have when they are here.

Erika and her family take such good care of my Kona. They treat her like family. She also sends the cutest pictures of Kona while I’m away. I’ve booked with her at least four times and plan to continue booking with her.

Erika is great! She took great care of our Pup. Drop off and pick up was smooth. She was able to provide medications and lots of love. She sent pictures and texts to make sure we were up to speed on her stay. Our fur baby loved staying with her and her family and we will definitely count on Erika for our next trip!

Information Erika R. would like to know about your pet

My main concern is making sure your dog gets along with children and other dogs. No breed restrictions or preference. I do not accept clients with females in heat and also no male dogs if they have a history of marking. Please inform me if your dog has a history or separation anxiety, food or toy aggression. Puppy’s- How is potty training going? I want to know everything about your pet so I can provide the best care!

A typical day

We will do whatever activities your dog likes! We can play fetch in our back yard or go on long walks around my neighborhood. I also have a nice doggy pool we can use if the weather permits. There’s quite a few dog beds around the house for your dog to use if they rather sleep instead!
