Pet care experience

Dogs, cats, rabbits, all welcome!

Hello! I am a recent transplant to Charleston and would love to get to know the city through some of its furry residents. I have owned and worked with dogs, cats, and animals of all types and sizes throughout my life. I have been a regular volunteer at several cat rescues (primarily on the medical team) for almost 5 years. I am the owner of a three-legged cat named Cecil. My day job is in the medical field (alas, for humans, not animals) and have experience administering medications and working with older or disabled dogs and cats. I have particular experience administering medications to cats - pills, liquids, injections, you name it - including fussy or shy ones. Aside from dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes, I welcome all animals - bunnies, rats, snakes, lizards, birds, tarantulas, whatever your furry (or scaly) friend may be! Additionally, if you have a collection of plants, I'm happy to take care of those, too! Je parle français, aussi!

Safety, trust & environment

I am currently unable to provide stays in my own home (my cat would kill me...), but I will certainly treat your home and pets with the same love and respect with which I treat my own. Looking forward to meeting you and your animal friends. Any questions, just ask!

Erika was timely and communicative. She provided detailed updates with each visit and was great at giving medication to my finicky cat. She easily navigated the bossy demeanor of my other cat as well. Would definitely use again!

She’s the best! Our cat was in a great mood when we came home. I could tell he had fun with Erika and felt safe and cared for while we were gone.

Our cat is picky, but loves Erika! She was so great at staying in touch and giving us little details about her visits with him, which really put us at ease. ❤️

Absolutely wonderful ! Erika goes the extra mile to make sure my old and sick cats eat their meal with their medication. He spends times giving cuddles and is patient with the shy cats. She takes time to write detailed messages that are most reassuring and quite funny. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who love their pets as much as I do.

Schedule

I work full-time on a relatively unpredictable schedule (sometimes mornings, sometimes evenings, sometimes weekends...), so I typically fit in home visits before or after my usual shifts. Currently, in light of my schedule, I unfortunately cannot accept visits for longer than one hour at a time.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Erika can host up to 1 drop-in per day
It would be great to know: - How your dog interacts with other dogs/people/kids on walks - If your pet is prone to running off or "door dashing" - Any behaviors you want me to reinforce (e.g., not jumping on people/sofas, sitting at crosswalks, etc.) - Any medical history, medications, or allergies
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.
