Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, I’m an artist who works from home, and I spend most of my time painting pets! Animals have always been a huge source of inspiration for me. I connect with them easily, and I find their presence calming, joyful, and even energizing for my creative flow. Because I have a flexible schedule and a pet-friendly lifestyle, I’m able to give each animal the time, attention, and love they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle session, or just quiet companionship, caring for animals blends seamlessly with how I live and work every day.

Safety, trust & environment

As an active person, I love incorporating exercise into their day if they’re up for it, and I’m just as happy being a calm, reassuring presence for more laid-back pets. I aim to keep their environment feeling safe, familiar, and stress-free while you’re away. You can also count on me for regular updates and plenty of love and attention for your furry friend!

Information Erika E. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about their daily routine, favorite activities, any quirks or triggers, health concerns, and how they usually react to new people or environments. I’m also happy to follow specific training cues or house rules you have in place—just tell me what your pet needs to feel at home!

A typical day

I genuinely enjoy going on walks and spending time outdoors with dogs—it’s great exercise and a fun way to explore! Playtime is another favorite, whether it’s fetch in the yard, tug-of-war, or chasing toys around the house. When I’m with cats, I make sure to spend quality time at their pace—whether that means playing with their favorite toys, offering a cozy lap, or simply being nearby while they nap. I love tuning into each pet’s energy and giving them the attention, affection, and fun they crave. No matter the activity, your pet will get plenty of love, care, and companionship throughout the day!

Your Pet’s New Favorite Sitter

Pet care experience

I’ve loved animals my whole life. When I’m not walking dogs, I am a full time pet portrait artist! Growing up with large dogs and cats taught me early on how to care for pets with confidence, compassion, and a whole lot of love. In high school, I was the go-to pet sitter in my neighborhood, and I’ve been building on that experience ever since. What sets me apart is my ability to connect with animals quickly and adapt to their unique personalities and routines. I have experience caring for playful puppies, mellow senior pets, and everything in between. I’m also comfortable administering medication, handling special diets, or just being a calm and comforting presence. Whether your pet needs a walking buddy, a snuggle partner, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you never feel too far from your furry friend!

Erika has taken care of our cat, Lucy, several times now and she is excellent. Lucy requires daily medication, which she doesn’t like, and Erika never fails to get it down her . Let cy is always content when we return — never stressed. We will continue to book Erika.
