Happy to cuddle your cats!

Pet care experience

I have worked in veterinary clinics for the last 8 years and have cared for animals of all shapes and sizes all my life. I can feed, medicate, train, cuddle, clean and love your furkid while you're away. I especially love cats (I have 2 of my own) and will cuddle them as much or as little as they wish. Every feline has their own unique personality and I love getting to know them at their own pace. I am also very familiar with pocket pets, birds, reptiles and fish. If you have a goat or a dwarf pony, I'll burst with happiness. I am pet cpr/first aid certified from PetTech, and work as a veterinary assistant here in Boston. I am also Fear Free certified, and am happy to work with those pets who are a little shy and worried about strangers. I work full days at the vet clinic during the week and drop in to say hello either at breakfast time or dinner time depending on what works best for everyone's schedules. I ask for detailed descriptions of your pet's preferred interaction style, feedings and litter box needs. I love to update folks with photos of my visit. I also am happy to water any plants that need attention and bring in any mail or packages that may arrive while you are away.

So grateful to have Erika take care of our cat during our time away. Erika is absolutely reliable and professional over multiple care-givings for our cat.

They take such great care of my elderly cat, spoiling him with lots of love & attention. Never failing to get him his required medication.

Erika and Liz took such great care of our two cats while we were away for Thanksgiving. Their photos and reports each day put us at ease to see our boys were doing so well. We’ll definitely book them again next time we are away!

Per usual, my two kitties had such a great time with Erika for a weekend visit. The photos and updates we receive are always so thorough and reassuring, and the boys are so relaxed when we return home. It makes going away for the weekend much easier and we feel so grateful to have found Erika. The best!

Safety, trust & environment

I have two cats of my own, and understand the finer points of interacting with the shy hiders, the gregarious greeters, the not so happy protectors and all the feline personalities in between. I take extreme caution when entering and exiting to ensure no one slips outside, and try to spot each cat at least once every visit.

Information Erika & Liz A. would like to know about your pet

Any allergies? Any fears? Any quirks? Favorite treats? Favorite toy? Any bad habits? Preferred ways to be petted or snuggled? Tell me as much as you can about your fur kid so that I can make them happy and comfortable.

A typical day

I love knowing what types of toys your cat likes to play with as I am a pro at using both laser pointers & feather wands! I am also happy to offer treats and catnip if allowed.
