Reviews
Erika was great with our pup. She spent time with him letting him warm up to her before the first walk and then they were best friends.
Erika was great! She was super communicative and responsive. The dogs loved her and she worked to establish a close bond with them. We will definitely request her again!
Erika is fantastic! She was attentive and provided regular updates about my pup, Luna. Luna was calm and tired by the time I came back from my trip so I knew Luna had a great time with her! Erika even brought my mail and packages in and kept my home nice and tidy. Definitely would recommend her to others ☺️
Snow loved her energy immediately, super kind and gentle .

Safety, trust & environment
I will care for your pets in your home as I believe that each pet’s home is their safe space. I believe in building bonds through play and I usually gain their trust and affection very quickly.
Information Erika B. would like to know about your pet
- Known commands or tricks - Favorite toy or game - Medications - Routines - Favorite walking routes or routes to avoid - Behavior towards other animals (especially if there are other neighborhood dogs to avoid!)
A typical day
I love taking longer walks, to the dog park if they are social, to the creek to swim, etc. I frequently take my own dog hiking and am willing to incorporate that for your dog as well! I also enjoy a lovely game of throw or tugs if your pup is into that!
