Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pet’s New Favorite Sitter
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!

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!
Ratings and reviews
Erika was punctual and communicative, would absolutely book again
Thank you for keeping us updated with sweet photos and helpful messages. It made being away from our pets so much easier.
Erika was wonderful with our Pippa. She was very communicative and sent us pictures everyday. Will definitely be calling her again!
Erika is amazing! She takes such great care of our Casper and is a great communicator with her visits! Will definitely be reaching out in the future :)
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.
Erika was very responsive to our last minute request for a walk. She is sweet and would definitely use again!

Schedule
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.
