Services

These prices are for 1 dog.

Prices include all fees.

Erika can care for

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old

Availability

My schedule is flexible and I am also available to assist on weekends. **PLEASE NOTE RE: HOUSE SITS**: I also work in Voice Over, so if I'm house sitting for you, I would need to be able to leave for up to 4 hours to record in my home studio. (This could be up to two 4 hour segments per day) I also have other Rover clients (dog walks/drop ins) so I'm ultimately not available for "constant care" pet sits. Generally with housesits, I can commit to 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 a.m. with one mid-day visit if needed. (These times are not "written in stone", so slight adjustments can be made on a case by case basis.).

Safety, trust & environment

I will want as much detail as possible from you about your pet's needs, schedule, and quirks! I will not commit to any pet care without an in person (complimentary) meet & greet, to ensure everyone is comfortable; as a result, I generally cannot accept last minute requests. Please also let me know what I need in order to function in your home (Alarm system, A/C, etc...) Anyone I have ever pet sat for, as well as multiple Airbnb hosts, will confirm that I am a quiet, respectful guest and your home will be left nice and tidy! I will usually be sitting alone, but occasionally my husband Phil might join me.

Information Erika C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your pet's personality and/or quirks (ex: how are they around other animals, people?). Are there any health issues I need to know about? If I'm caring for your cat(s) do you want me to play with them? Finally, please note that drop in rates do not also cover dog walking. There is a separate charge for walks. I mention this as there can sometimes be some confusion about the difference between drop ins and walks. Of course, I am happy to do both for you!

A typical day

I'm flexible and would certainly cater to the owner's preferences re: walking locations or play activities. Happy to stroll around the neighborhood or if the owner is OK with me transporting their dog in my car, I would love going to a local park or nature hike. My schedule is flexible and I am also available to assist on weekends. **PLEASE NOTE RE: HOUSE SITS**: I also work in Voice Over, so if I'm house sitting for you, I would need to be able to leave for up to 4 hours to record in my home studio.

Pet care experience

Thanks for taking the time to review my profile! I’ve had either dogs or cats as pets my entire life and have house/pet sat for many friends and family over the years, in addition to clients on various pet sitting platforms. Yes, I am that type of person who will stop whatever I’m doing (whether it’s simply walking down the street or eating at a café) to greet and pet adorable fur babies. Animals always lift my spirits and I love spending time with them! I'm a former HR manager who left a stressful corporate job in late 2022 and have always said that I would prefer to work with animals instead of people! My references will describe me as exceedingly conscientious, responsible and caring, My schedule is flexible and I am also available to assist on weekends. **PLEASE NOTE RE: HOUSE SITS**: I also work in Voice Over, so if I'm house sitting for you, I would need to be able to leave for up to 4 hours to record in my home studio. (This could be up to two 4 hour segments per day) I also have other Rover clients (dog walks/drop ins) so I'm ultimately not available for "constant care" pet sits. Generally with housesits, I can commit to 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 a.m. with one mid-day visit if needed. (These times are not "written in stone", so slight adjustments can be made on a case by case basis.). It will be very important for me to know if your pet has any health issues, and how they are around people, other animals and children. When it comes to housesitting, you can rest assured that I am I incredibly respectful and will treat your home with care. If you select me to housesit, I will leave your home cleaner than when I arrived!

Erika was wonderful! My dog is older and is not always keen to walk in the heat, so Erika took her to a shady park so my dog could roll around in the grass and in the shade and have lots of fun! My dog was happy and healthy when I returned! Thank you, Erika for a great job!!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
