Here to make your pup happy!

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm currently available most of this summer before I start nursing school this Fall. I have an incredible fully fenced in backyard that my pups spend the days enjoying. I leave my backdoor open all day since I work from home which allows the dogs to come in and out as they please. I have three dogs! I rescued Mia in 2014 when she was 4 months old. I then rescued Jillie in 2018. And rounding out my pack is my little guy, Rocco, who was a 2021 pandemic puppy. They are the absolute lights of my life! I also grew up with dogs as my dad used to breed dobermans. I am no stranger to the dog life! I've been dogsitting for years and love it! I know how special dogs are to their owners so I treat them as my own. I love walking, running, playing, and going to dog parks with pups! Figuring out each dogs personality and tricks is always fun and allows me to form a strong bond with the dog. Seeing dogs tuckered out and happy makes me happy.

Erika is amazing in watching my dog. She made a last minute work trip smooth and seamless when it came to setting up someone to watch my pooch. She's the whole package- patient, personable, knowledgable, and gives her utmost attention when your dog is in her home. She sends copious amounts of updates and it really eased my mind while out of town. Definitely will rebook with her in the foreseeable future!

Erika was great with Eevee, as well as really understanding. She watched her while we were away for Thanksgiving and Eevee wasn't well behaved with Erika's other dogs. But Erika managed the situation so that we didn't have to cut our time away short, which we really appreciated. She sent us adorable pics and had nothing but lovely things to say about our little imp. She also cut Eevee's toenails, saving us time and money. We would definitely use Erika again, and will for our other dog, but it seems Eevee would be better off in a home without any other pets. Thanks Erika! Eevee loves you!

Erika took great care of our cat, Franklin, when we went away to visit immediate family. She followed our instructions, and got along with our pet. Erika was very timely with communication and sent us multiple pictures and videos from her stay. We plan to use her again and would highly recommend her if you are looking for a sitter!

I've let my golden doodle play at Erika's multiple times now. The backyard is spacious with plenty of room for fetch or whatever your dog is into. Her dogs are always very friendly and my dog is exhausted when we get home (which is almost impossible to do). Mo gets so excited when I pull up there that he whines and has been known to jump out the open car window when I park in an attempt to get into the backyard as soon as possible. Highly recommend.
