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.

Information Erika C. would like to know about your pet

Health and Medical Needs: - Any allergies? Medications (how and when to give?) Behavior and Training: - leash behavior (puller, reactive, etc.) - how they react to bikes, cars, kids, people - are there triggers? Like horns? Or yelling? Safety and Handling: - can they be picked up? - are there any places to avoid? - do they have the tendency to eat things off the ground? Comfort: - what makes them feel safe when they get nervous? Treats? A specific toy?

A typical day

Wether it’s morning zoomies, midday potty breaks, or evening strolls, my day will revolve around keeping your pup happy, safe, and tail wagging. A typical walk will be tailored to your dogs pace and personality - wether that’s a curious puppy learning the leash or a senior dog who enjoys a slow sniff throughout the neighborhood. I will bring a pack fill with treats (if allowed), water bowl, poopy bags, and send photo updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing. No matter the time of day, my goal is to give your dog the best part of their day and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

Pet care experience

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 :)!
