Pet care experience
My name's Erika and my energy level may exceed your dog's. Born and raised in the tiny state of RI, I grew up with my frisbee catching, goofy, adventure loving pup Ginger and also dog/cat sitting a few of my neighbors animals. Currently, I work in Chicago as an engineer For a startup and travel often, so I unfortunately cannot have my own dog during this time of my life. I have always thought of fostering but for now I can provide personal time with your best friend. The biggest part of making you feel comfortable leaving your pup (no matter their age they will always be puppies in my eyes) is I would care for them as if they were my own! Leaving your dog is hard, but I'd like to make it a little easier by letting you know your dog will have a friend while you're away :)
Reviews
Erika was prompt and great with photo updates. Will definitely reach out to her again in the future!
Erika was great with my little dog Stella!! My dog gets pretty bad separation anxiety and does not like to eat or go to the bathroom when I am not there, but Erika was able to make her feel comfortable enough that she did both! It is clear that Erika loves dogs and will care for your dog like her own, her apartment is also great for a dog and right next to several nice parks!!
Erika continues to be a great sitter for Beau! She was concerned about him when he was dropped off and wanted me opinion on what to do for him. I felt so comfortable knowing she was worried enough to check with me.
Erika was wonderful to book with. She made the booking process easy...she was very responsive to messages and was extremely flexible and accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times. My dog Chandler had a great time with her. I can tell he was well cared for and had lots of special attention. I loved the pictures and updates Erika sent. I highly recommend booking with Erika and plan to use her for future stays.
