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 was the best taking care of Sushi. Literally have zero complaints. She made Sushi and I feel so comfortable about me leaving him with her. Perfect communication and I’m so grateful. Can’t wait for Erika to watch my dog again!
Erika always takes great care of my pup and he loves spending time with her!
Lots of updates and photos, and made sure Riley was okay with all the fireworks!
Erika does a great job meeting Kona’s daily cuddle requirement, and it’s reassuring to see how relaxed and happy our pup is through frequent pictures and updates.
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.

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.
