Pet care experience

Ruff day? No worries!

Nice to meet you! My name is Erika and while I’ve never been in professional pet care, I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals - such as dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. Caring for my own pets over the years have taught me how to adjust to each dog’s unique needs, whether that means lots of playtime, a slow walk, or extra cuddles and patience. Moreover, I have 2 years of being a Behavior Technician, which has given me a strong understanding of behavior and how to use positive reinforcement effectively. This experience transitions seamlessly into working with dogs that need that consistency, rapport building, and support. Whether you need someone to help your puppy burn off energy or give your senior dog the gentle care it deserves, I’m here to help. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same love and respect I give my own. HABLO ESPAÑOL :)!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a 1-story house with a large backyard. If pet sitting is necessary, your dog will have a place to stay in the living room and a large backyard to play in. The area where I live is safe and my house has camera around the premise that allows me to monitor them if they want to spend more time outside sun bathing. I also have a camera inside for when I need to step out and run an errand, they will also be monitored. My house is also 5 min away from a park that loops a .5 mile walk therefore they’ll be guaranteed a good walk.

Erika is someone who is very responsible. She works well with others and is always kind and gentle. She loves dogs and dogs love her. You will not regret hiring her!

Erika is an amazingly caring person not only to people but to all furry critters around her. When she first got her dog, Loki, she was head over heels for that boy. She continiously pampers him with gifts such as toys and little outfits to wear and shows him off to others as if he were her child. Being a dog owner of six, I know a loving owner when i see one. She is as attentive and loving to Loki as I am to my own pups. She takes him to the vet for his checkups, showers him with love, and is extremely proud of him. Erika is an extremely loving dog caregiver!

Schedule

I currently work a full-time remote position and my schedule is incredible flexible. I make my own schedule and can fit morning or midday walks 3 times a week. And daily, I can allocate my afternoons to pet walking. My weekends are completely free and will be focusing on taking new clients all day.
