Your Pet’s Daily Dose of Sunshine

275+ Reviews | Spreading Playful Energy & Loving Care in Sacramento! 🌟 Hi, I'm Erika! I provide vibrant, reliable care for your pets so you can have total peace of mind while you're away. I’m a frequent face for morning/midday drop-ins and neighborhood walks throughout both East Sacramento and Arden-Arcade, bringing a little extra sunshine to every pet I visit! Being with Rover over four years, I’ve built my reputation on being one of Sacramento’s top-rated walkers. ​My heart is with both the big dogs and small ones, too! For years, I was a devoted "Lab Mom" to my sweet black lab, Allie. While she has since passed, she taught me everything there is to know about the Labrador spirit—the endless energy, the love for fetch, and the unique joy they bring. I carry that expertise into every walk and visit, ensuring your big (or small!) pups get the exercise and care they need. ​Today, I share my home with a spunky 2-year-old cat, and I’ve spent my life surrounded by everything from dogs cats rabbits hamsters and even chickens. Whether your pet has paws, whiskers, or hops, I'm here to make sure their day is filled with love. ​📍 Proudly Serving: East Sacramento | Arden-Arcade | Carmichael | Tahoe Park ​✨ What I Offer: ​Breed Specialty: Extensive experience with high-energy breeds like Labs and shelter-dog personalities. ​Multi-Pet Care: Comfortable with cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits. ​Reliability: 260+ Five-Star reviews and lightning-fast response times. ​Vivid Updates: Detailed summaries and high-quality photos after every visit. ​I specialize in maintaining your pet’s unique routine whether it’s a long neighborhood trek, a precise feeding schedule, or quality floor-time for cuddles. Let’s connect!

Erika does a fantastic job. She took excellent care of our cats, each of whom has their own dietary needs and restrictions. She’s very communicative, and we received thorough updates and great pictures with every visit. She’s personable, reliable, and most importantly, she genuinely cares for animals. Book her!

Schedule

I provide pet care full-time, so my schedule is very flexible! While I generally aim to keep my Mondays quiet for a 'weekend' reset, I’m typically available for walks and drop-ins throughout the rest of the week. ​I’m a pro at balancing my routes across Sacramento, so I can usually work around your pet's specific routine. Just reach out with the times you're looking for, and I'll do my best to make it happen!

​To give your pet the best experience, I love knowing the little things that make them happy! Before our first visit, it’s helpful to know: ​Their Personality: Are they a high-energy adventurer, a shy snuggler, or a curious explorer? ​The Routine: Where do they like to walk? Do they have a favorite 'hiding spot' for treats? ​Special Needs: Any allergies, triggers (like squirrels or mailmen), or specific commands you use? ​Home Comforts: Where should I leave the mail? Do you have a specific way you like the door locked or the alarm set?
