Cat parent, but caring to all!

Pet care experience

Growing up, I had a childhood dog for 4 years or so, and now I have an indoor adult cat as my roommate and bff. When it comes to cats and dogs, I am happy to stay active with them as much as I'm down to hang with the more stationary-types! :) Neighbors and friends have relied on me to care for their cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, bunnies-you name it! I’m happy to watch your loved ones just they way they like ❤️ I'm stoked to take your dog on walks around the lake, your neighborhood, or mine (West Oakland) where we can have fun with a variety of terrain! As someone who seems to have surrounded myself with friends that are all cat owners - such is life in a city- I'm thrilled to bring more dogs into my life and look forward to having the opportunity to meet yours!

Erika, was very loving responsible with my cat. She stayed in the apartment and showed great flexibility in accommodating to my schedule changes. I recommend her.

Erika was extremely responsive and did a great job house- and pet-sitting! She cared for our fur babies like they were her own, sending us updates and pictures while we were out of town! She forgot to do one small thing, but let us know and apologized, instead of not telling us and hoping we didn’t notice (which did happen to us before with a different pet sitter!) We came home to calm, happy pets and a house just as clean as we left it. I recommend Erika for house-sitting, dog-sitting and cat-sitting.

It’s always a great time having Erika taking care of my kitties. We know we can trust her with the complex feeding routine 😸
