Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pet’s New Best Friend
I have had the privilege of caring for both dogs and cats for the past 23 years, and over that time, I have gained a deep understanding of their unique needs and personalities. From feeding and grooming to training and health monitoring, I’ve experienced the joy and challenges of looking after these beloved animals. I’ve learned the importance of building trust with each pet, recognizing the subtle signs of their emotions, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. Whether it's taking dogs on long walks, playing with cats to keep them mentally stimulated, or managing their diets and vet visits, my years of experience have equipped me with a solid foundation in providing the best care possible. Each pet has its own quirks, and I take pride in adapting my approach to suit their individual needs.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in their owners' homes, I prioritize creating a familiar and comfortable environment for the animals while ensuring their routines remain as consistent as possible. I follow the owners' instructions closely, from feeding schedules to medication routines, and make sure to provide plenty of affection, playtime, and exercise to keep them happy and engaged. I maintain a clean and safe space for them, paying attention to their emotional needs by offering companionship and minimizing stress during their owners' absence. Whether it's a daily walk, play sessions, or simply offering a quiet space for rest, I ensure that each pet feels secure and well-cared for, just as they would in the presence of their owners. My goal is to provide peace of mind to the pet owners, knowing their pets are in good hands and receiving the love and attention they deserve.
Ratings and reviews
Always know my kitties are being looked after ! thank you so much
Erika was perfect again at looking after our 2 boys for over a week, daily updates and keeping the water topped up and cat litter changed. Makes a real difference leaving them, knowing they are looked after so well.
This is our second time using Erika as we are new to the area. Great experience, friendly, courteous and our two boys love her. We have already booked again and highly recommend Erika.
Just moved to the area, do it was great to find another great cat aunty for our boys. Erika was very calm, polite and respectful. The boys took to here which was great and she kept us updated, fed and played with the boys. Changed their water and cat litter. We highly recommend Erika.

- Before I care for your pets, it would be helpful to know a few important details to ensure I provide the best care possible. Please share any information regarding their feeding schedule, preferred diet, any allergies, and any medications they may need. It’s also important to know their temperament, favorite activities, and any specific routines they follow, such as walk times or nap schedules.
