Pet care experience
Hey there! I now live in Denver with my dog, Perry, and have enjoyed using Rover care for him while I am away and hope I can do the same for others. I got Perry as a puppy when I was a freshman in college and he is now nine years old. During this time I have always been the one to train, feed, exercise, and love him. Prior to bringing Perry into my life I grew up with dogs and cats as family pets and often watched pets of extended family while they were away. I also began volunteering at animal shelters in 2014 and have since been affiliated with this and various other shelters by providing care to animals until they find their forever homes, working on fundraising campaigns for the shelter, and organizing events on campus to get students involved and educated on how they can help out. Currently I volunteer at MaxFund in Denver by walking dogs weekly and with Mile High Lab Rescue by fostering dogs brought in while they await their forever home. I have experience administering medicine and am happy to do so to provide the best care to your pet. Please leave any details of care, medical or otherwise, in the booking notes as well as anything else you'd like me to know :)
Reviews
Ericka was amazing! It was our first time using Rover and completely so at ease with her helpful updates and care for our little dude. Would highly recommend!
Erika and Brian were so sweet, flexible and reliable. She sent pictures of my dog daily with a nice little update without me even asking! I will definitely be using her as much as possible!
Our puppy had a great time spending the day with Ericka and her playful dog Perry. Our pup was happy and tired at the end of the day, and he was excited to go back the next day.
Hello, I would absolutely recommend Ericka to be a caretaker for your dog. We currently have a five year old German Shepard/Golden Retriever mix. She is a very protective dog especially over me, her human mom lol! There are not too many people that can achieve what Ericka has with her, especially earning her trust and love. I can always count on her to care of our dog rather than kenneling her when we go away for a long weekend. Ericka owns a 4 yr. old male Labrador Retriever that she has had since he was a puppy, and before that she had a pug her entire life. When caring for our dog, she always brings her lab along to play. She takes them for walks in the woods and to swim in our creek, or many times will just call to see if they can have a play date. She cares for her neighbors dog as well when they are away. Ericka takes her dog everywhere with her when possible. She has lived in many locations, but he is almost always with her. The car that she currently owns was mainly selected because it was comfy enough for her Lab! He comes first in her life with pretty much everything she does. While at work she has housed him at Dogie Day Care in different locations, therefore she is very familiar with the treatment expected when in another persons care. In the past she has also volunteered her time at an animal shelter. You will not find anyone more reliable to care for your dog than Ericka! She absolutely loves and treats dogs with the respect and love they deserve.

Information Ericka H. would like to know about your pet
-Does your dog have any type of routine (sleeping/eating/walking) I should be aware of? -Does your dog enjoy the company of other dogs? Rover policy: boarding is for a 24 hour period. For example, if you drop your dog off on Monday at 8am you are expected to pick up your pet before or at 8am or pay for a day of day care.
A typical day
Please let me know if your dog has any preferred routes, happy to stop at any play or sniff spots :) For higher energy levels I am happy to run with your pup.
