I’m a nurse. I work one night shift for a kid doing home health on Fridays and then I work 8h shifts at a jail over the weekend. I may work some 12h shifts usually just once a week but I’m prn so it’s mainly the weekends that I’m working. For the summer I just have one class in person for 3h and one class online. My roommate is helpful to let out the dogs if I get stuck being away too long.

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m at work my pets have a large caged area they stay in. When I’m home or only going to be gone a few hours they roam the house. If you chose to board your animals with me when I’m not home I’d prefer them to be a cage just to ensure safety but we can discuss this further.

Information Erika C. would like to know about your pet

Any quirks. How your pet does with thunderstorms. Is your pet shy or out going. Does your pet normally have plush toys? (We do not at my house). Is your pet allowed table scraps as mine are 😂

A typical day

Days that I am home if your dog normally goes on walks then I can do that as well. Whatever is normal for your dog I will try to accommodate.

Pet care experience

*If you have cats please discuss this with me first* my dogs are not cat friendly! I’ve always loved animals. I’m in school right now so I’m home through the week most weeks. My dogs are very used to being around others. I have one roommate. We have a very quiet house. A large fenced in yard with a gazebo and a small pool for the dogs.

Both of our dogs enjoyed their time! She was very responsive and super helpful throughout. Definitely use her!

Erika was great to work with. She was responsive and sent pictures of my baby to show that he was settling in fine. I was worried the dogs might not get along, but they seem to do great.

I had never left Avery for this amount of time and Erica made our transition easy and she was very informative by sending messages and pictures

Erika really helped me when I was in a jam. I work at a hospital and was going to be placed on lockdown for 3 days due to Hurricane Ian. I quickly had to find someone to take care of my dog, Charlie. This was my first time using Rover, so I reached out to Erika and she responded within minutes. She took great care of Charlie, along with sending me updates about how he was doing and she sent pictures of him too. I was so relieved knowing how well he was being cared for during a time of crisis. I highly recommend Erika since you can be assured your four-legged loved one will be in great hands!

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.
