I work remotely! My schedule is Wednesday through Sunday from 3:30pm to midnight. I will be able to be in your home throughout the whole day (besides errands and checking on my own fur kiddos). However, this means that if your booking begins on a work day, I will need to be in the home by 2:30pm. If your booking ends on a work day, I will need to be out of the home by 2:30pm or I will need to stay until 1am. Additionally, if your booking includes a work day, I will need access to hardwire into your Ethernet via your router (I have all the cords I need). I can use WiFi in emergencies, but my company prefers I be hardwired. Thank you for your understanding.

Safety, trust & environment

I am sure you are nervous about having a stranger in your home, but I hope we don't stay strangers for long! You will find me very trustworthy and reliable. I like to provide each pet parent with a meet-and-greet, ensuring that I can provide the best possible care to your pets while you are away.

Information Erika A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any specific needs, behavioral issues or quirks, medical conditions, or allergies. Every pet is an individual. Help me help yours!

A typical day

I love to give your pet the best time when I’m there, whether they prefer relaxation or vigorous playtime. Every pet has their own needs, and I like to find the right fit for them! However, walks of 15+ minutes are difficult for me due to a chronic condition. I would be happy to take a quick 5-10 minute stroll once daily with a well controlled pup!

Pet care experience

Please read through my entire profile :) **TRUE PRICING IS LISTED IN PHOTOS - ONLY AVAILABLE AFTER MEET & GREET!** I am a work from home Registered Veterinary Technician. I currently rent a home in Roseville with my dog. I would love the opportunity to provide services to you and your fur babies! I have had a deep passion for animals all my life. I grew up with cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, and the occasional outsiders like our macaw and opossum. I have always known that I wanted a career in helping animals, and I graduated from Vet Tech school in 2017. With my training, I can provide excellent attention to the well-being of your pet(s) and care for them as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting your furry (or not-so-furry) friends! HOUSE SITTING: - I accept bookings for ALL pet species, breeds, ages, and sizes. This includes exotics and livestock. - During my stay, I can bring in the mail, water the plants, skim the pool, etc. Let me know what you need and I will be happy to discuss it with you! - I offer nail trims and anal gland expressions at an additional cost, but only if your pet allows me to do it on my own. - If your pet needs medication, there MAY or may not be an additional fee, depending on the route of delivery and level of difficulty. - If your animal(s) and my 50-pound spayed female dog get along, it would be amazing to have her stay with us in the home. If not, that is totally okay! I will just need to go visit her at my mom's house daily. DROP-IN VISITS: - I offer drop-in visits between 30 and 60 minutes long up to twice a day. - I accept bookings for ALL pet species, breeds, ages, and sizes. This includes exotics and livestock. - During my visit, I can bring in the mail, water the plants, skim the pool, etc. Let me know what you need and I will be happy to discuss it with you! - I offer nail trims and anal gland expressions at an additional cost, but only if your pet allows me to do it on my own. - If your pet needs medication, there MAY or may not be an additional fee, depending on the route of delivery and level of difficulty.

Came home to two happy dogs! Erika was wonderful with both our energetic pup and elder buddy. And communicated easily with us humans too. She made it easy for us to enjoy our vacation knowing the dogs were having a fun staycation with her - appreciated her text with pictures for updates.

Prompt, attentive, flexible, and super nice! She helped us take care of our 12 week old puppy when we needed to be away last minute and she did a fantastic job! I instantly felt comfortable with leaving our young puppy with her and our puppy just loved her! Will definitely be using her for any future puppy care!

Erika was a wonderful pet sitter. She sent me lots of updates of my dog and she left my house in perfect condition. She followed all my instructions and took great care of my girl Lily.

I have nothing but good things to say about Erika as a dog sitter. She was very thoughtful about the booking from the start. She made me feel comfortable leaving my fur babies in her care. One of my dogs is also special needs and she was wonderful at accommodating those needs. I am the type of person that starts worrying about my dogs as soon as I leave; however, she put me at ease with the texts and pictures to let me know things were going smoothly every step of the way. It makes me feel happy to have confidence in someone caring for something so precious to me.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
