I am a graduate working part-time in a research lab, but my hours are quite flexible! I have a dog of my own that I take on walks and play dates frequently throughout the week and daily, and would love to offer the same enrichment for your dogs!

Reviews

Erika did a great job- she was easy to communicate with always came at the times she was scheduled and Summer loved her walks !

I can’t say enough good things about Ericka! She is among the most caring, educated, and thorough sitters I know. Her ability to understand pet body language is remarkable — she notices even the most minor details and knows precisely what a pet needs to feel safe and happy. Ericka is incredibly consistent and reliable, and I’ve never once had to worry when she’s looking after my dog. She treats every animal as if they were her own, and her calm, attentive nature has made her the only person I fully trust to care for my pup. If you’re looking for someone knowledgeable and compassionate, I can promise you that Ericka is the best.
