Highlights
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 :)!

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.

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.
