Highlights
Pet care experience
Safe Attentive Friendly Care
I have had many furry family members over my lifetime. With almost 30 years in the pet industry, animals are my passion! I worked in boarding kennels as a teenager, before I began grooming. I was a grooming manager of a pet salon for 2 years before grooming in a private salon for many more years. I then started grooming and boarding from home. I enjoy being a home pet care professional and meeting so many different pets is AMAZING!! I have extensive experience with extremely anxious pups as well young puppies and seniors with special needs. I am currently a Stay at home mom with children in school so I have plenty of time to spoil your furry companion whenever you can't be there. In our family we have a golden retriever mix, Charlie, that's 9 years old and loves to play with balls! He's quite an extensive sniffer at the initial meeting but is pretty indifferent towards other pups after that unless they play pretty gently. Our yard is large and fully fenced, perfect for fetch and getting lots of play time with each other. There's not a lot traffic and it's a very quiet area. I only leave for short periods during the day so I have plenty of time to spend caring for pups. I prefer to have pick ups and drop offs by appointment. I love being someone to keep pups from being lonely when their favorite people can't be with them. Playing with and snuggling dogs for a living is about the best job there is!

Amazing as always!
Luna had another great stay with Erika. Even though we were gone a while, we could tell she was happy the whole time.
Erika was lovely and took great care of our furry family and home. She updated us regularly. We didn’t feel like we needed to be concerned about anything while we were away.
Erika was great. The dogs were very happy, the house was just as we left it (clean, no dishes in the sink, etc). She cleaned up the yard after the dogs did their 'business'. Erika provided updates every day and notified me when she was going to be delayed due to a flat tire. We will request Erika the next time we need a sitter.
Erika took really good care of Rubiks, and he came home happy and healthy. We also received photo updates from her during his stay. I’d definitely recommend her as a sitter!
Amazing as always!!!

Safety, trust & environment
I love getting to know all of the wonderful pups different personalities and build my own special bond with each and every one! I try to offer every pet the comfort, stimulation, exercise and care they would receive from you.

A typical day
I'm up for any activity or lack there of that your pup wants. Toys, fetch and chase in the yard is always fun or a nice long walk exploring the smells of everything that catches attention.
