Highlights
Pet care experience
Lover of all Dogs and long runs
Hi! My name is Erika and I have been dogsitting for over 15 years. I dog sit because I love getting to spend time with lots of different dogs and learning each of their personalities. I have owned dogs my whole life, and have lots of experience with both big and small breeds. I specialize in high energy, reactive, and fearful dogs, and only watching one dog/family of dogs at a time allows me to give them the undivided attention they deserve! I am willing to work with young puppies and dogs with special needs, including giving medication or specialized diets (I have learned all of the tricks for getting stubborn dogs to take their pills.) I genuinely love to get to know each dog and specialize the activities to best fit their needs whether its long walks, games of fetch, or decompressing on the couch.

Ratings and reviews
Erika took amazing care of Zoey and gave lots of updates! Thank you!
Erika is very reliable and so nice. We have had her sit for my dog multiple times.
Very smooth experience boarding with Erika!!! Thank you so much!
Absolutely loved working with Erika. Leaving your 12 week old puppy with a sitter for the very first time can be extremely scary but Erika made it easy. She was immediately responsive from start to finish. Making sure all our worries were met with reassurance. We thoroughly enjoyed our photo updates. Looking forward to a long partnership with Erika and allowing her to be part of our doggos journey.
We had another sitter fall through and requested Erika who was very responsive. We are so thrilled that she watched after our dog because she was professional, kind, and responsible. Erika sent pictures and updates throughout. Highly recommend!
Erika was absolutely amazing with my dogs! She took such great care of them and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was very attentive to their needs and followed all the instructions carefully. If there are more stars I will give her a 6/5!!

Schedule
I work full time as an engineer in the city, but am only in the office 1-2 days a week with a flexible schedule. I typically do 2 longer walks in the morning and evening and a short walk for lunch when I work from home. My husband is also around to help with walks, playtime, and cuddles (his favorite.) I am more than happy to do extended stays, weekends, early mornings, and later evenings.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a row house that allows for ample play area, and a green neighborhood perfect for long walks with shade during the hot summer days. There is a park at the end of the street where we can play and socialize with the neighbors when possible.
A typical day
We would go for runs and walks near the house and nearby parks. I play fetch as well as tug of war and can give belly rubs and scratches for hours.
