Your Pet’s New Best Friend!

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 would never commit to any assignment that I was unable to fulfill. Although I live in the San Fernando Valley, I really enjoy exploring other neighborhoods, whether that is in my own city or elsewhere. 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 is amazing with my pets! I totally recommend her, every time I go away I can feel at ease because I know that they'll be happy and safe when I'm back. She's truly great!

I highly recommend Erika. You can tell she cares for the animals and has a good heart. I wanted to book her to stay with my dog but he's just too reactive. It was nothing against her my dog is just crazy. She's definitely someone to think of when you want someone that cares to care for your animal. Thank you Erika.

I can not say enough about Erika! I've been using her consistently for a few months now for both my cats and she is INCREDIBLE! reliability is a huge thing for me and she's never let me down or had to cancel. I also travel often and last minute and she's always been able to accommodate my needs! She's so sweet and loving to my babies, as if they were her own and you can see from the pictures that my fur babies love her just as much as she loves them! ❤️ if you're looking for some one trust worthy for your pets, she's your woman!!

Erika was absolutely wonderful! Great communication and sent me daily updates on my boy. He’s a handful and she did such a great job with him. He was happy and calm when I returned from my trip and I’m so grateful I didn’t have to worry about him at all while I was away!

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.

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.).
