“Erika was fantastic to have stay with our pups again. She got them out daily, sent photos, was very responsive and we got home to tired happy dogs!”

About: What sets me apart is my blend of professional experience and genuine love for animals. I have 5+ years in animal care, including shelter work and experience as a veterinary assistant while completing schooling to become a vet tech. I’ve worked alongside animal behaviorists and assisted with training programs, so I’m confident with puppies, behavior support, and routines. I love walking and hiking dogs, creating enrichment activities, and of course some good puppy snuggles if your pup is a cuddler! I’m comfortable administering oral medications and injections, and I have experience caring for pets with diabetes, Addison’s disease, and asthma. I’ve cared for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. Most importantly, I truly respect that every pet parent knows their pet best. I take pride in following your routines and wishes so your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I do currently work full time Tuesday-Friday in a vetrinary clinic. I'm available for evening walks during the week and full time care on the weekends as well as on Monday. If a longer trip is planned or your needing an extra service, I'm open to having a conversation to arrange my schedule to best fit both our needs. When caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on structure, enrichment, and lots of love. I have a fully fenced yard and provide 2–4 walks daily (or more/less as requested by pet parents). I live an active lifestyle, so your pup will get plenty of movement, unless their needs are limited, in which case I’m happy to slow things down. I offer pet-parent–approved enrichment activities throughout the day to help pets stay engaged or enjoy calm rest time. If your dog loves fetch, we’ll definitely be playing! I share my home with two friendly dogs and two cats. My dogs are welcoming to other dogs, and my cats truly think they’re dogs themselves. If you’re concerned about dogs and cats together, no worries! My cats have separate, safe areas they can retreat to at any time. I’m happy to welcome friendly pets and always follow your routines and preferences to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home. If your pet is more nervous around other dogs, I'm happy to provide the same services in your personal home. Send me a message, if you have any questions? Let's get connected, I can't wait to meet your best friend!

About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life, I would love to spend time with yours! I treat every dog I see like they’re my little baby even if I just ask their owner to love on them! I’d love an opportunity to help you and be trusted with your fur baby :) I am currently working very part time, I have too much time on my hands so I would love to keep your baby company! Or them keep me company…😂. I have 3 dogs of my own and a big fenced in yard, I live right by a school with a track and lots of grass! My dogs in my home are the babies, we treat them how we would a child and nothing less! I have a big fenced in yard with even more grass just across the street for your dog to release some energy in!

About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience. Having lived in both an apartment and now a home, I understand how environment impacts a pet’s routine and comfort. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality and adapt my care to fit their needs, energy level, and temperament. No one-size-fits-all care here — just thoughtful, personalized attention so your pet feels safe, understood, and right at home. Currently have a very flexible schedule. I make plans around my booked clients. When working with a clients pets, I will be able to be around as much as needed. I get to know the pets routines and try to adapt so there is little to no difference when I am watching them. I have a fenced in back yard to allow animals to run around and play.
