Experienced Dog Walker
Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Erika! I'm a current law student at the University of Washington. I live on Capitol Hill, and have a car to get around as needed. I started dog-walking as a fun way to make some extra cash, and as a great excuse to hang out with dogs every day :) I've had retrievers all of my life, the main one being an English Golden Retriever named Melody. I also currently walk two labradors, one who is very high energy and the other who is pretty relaxed. I've also had experience with essentially all breeds of dogs: pitbulls, poodles, dachunds, bull dogs, chihuahuas, you name it! I've also walked dogs of a wide range of ages, from 0-15 years old, some super friendly, others more cautious.
Reviews
Boss loved Erika! She was super flexible and provided updates while I was gone. It's always great to know that your dog is happy and cared for while you're gone. Thanks Erika!
Erika did a great job taking care of my two miniature schnauzers for a week. I appreciated her daily texts of how they were doing each day. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.
Erika was fantastic! She sent updates and Boss absolutely loved her!
Erika is fabulous with my crazy dog! Totally chill and calm even when he's jumping around and being super hyper. He's excited to see her and tries to follow her home. Highly recommend her!

Information Erika B. would like to know about your pet
Everything! :) But here are some good places to start: Name Breed/Size (all breeds welcome, but it's nice as a reference) Characteristics (e.g. excitability, age, etc.) Any leash habits (e.g. is your dog leash aggressive? do you have any preferred trails?) Your rules around treats Any house rules about sitting on furniture How often you like to take the dog out Preferred Vet
A typical day
Time I'll spend with your dog It will depend on the day since I have school, but at minimum I should be able to take your dog for a short walk in the morning, a longer walk in the afternoon or evening, and then let them out as needed at night. On weekends I am much more flexible with time and would love to spend it taking your dog to a park or doing something else fun :) Extra house-sitting services Sure! It might depend on how lengthy the additional tasks are since I am often busy with school and will probably do lots of homework in your home, but I'm happy to do simple things like check the mail and water plants.
