Trusted and Experienced Pet Care

Pet care experience

Let me care for your furry buddy! I'm not just a dog lover, I'm also experienced— I worked for 4 years at a veterinarian's office and a pet store. I also have experience fostering animals for the Humane Society - all because I adore them. After a break for work, I’m happy to back on Rover! My family dog was a dalmation-mix rescue, but I love all breeds. I have cared for puppies, kittens, adult and senior cats and dogs- and even chipmunks. My background in vet care includes routine feeding and walks, plus administering special diets, working with "problem" pets, providing oral medication, caring for pets with IVs and identifying symptoms of concern that merit vet attention. I will provide you with daily updates on your pet so you know they are safe and having fun. To keep everyone healthy, dogs must have current flea and tick prevention and up-to-date vaccines. I know these little ones are a member of the family. I promise to give the care and special attention they deserve, at a level of professionalism far beyond that of the usual dog lover.

My dog had another fantastic visit with Erika. We couldn’t ask for a better set up for our dog when we visit Northern Cal. Thanks Erika and Matt!

Erika was brilliant with Smudge, kept me updated with photos and text messages. I felt very relaxed leaving him with her and her lovely garden for him to run around in. I wish I could give more than 5 stars

Could not have asked for a better doggy day care and boarding experience! Erika had a great set up for my pup to romp in her big yard and hike through the neighborhood. She communicated constantly, took cute pics and was ultimately flexible with our schedule. We will be back next time we are in town. Thank you Erika!

My dog, Buttercup, has only had 2 other overnight sitters in her 10-plus years. I was very apprehensive about leaving Buttercup with Erika.

Information Erika D. would like to know about your pet

I am unable to house-sit for dogs who are highly vocal (repetitive or problem barking or whining, such as extreme anxiety or behavioural issues), as I work from home.

A typical day

I regularly walk, hike and run, so I am happy to take active dogs out for all of those activities. Past favourite outings with my dog sitting charges (with the owner’s permission) have been the beach at Half Moon Bay and running around Stanford’s big green campus!
