Pet & Plant Mama

Pet care experience

Hello! Allow me to give you some peace of mind. 😌🧘🪷 I am insured through Pet Sitters Associates. I am 31 and have lifelong personal experience providing compassionate care for dogs, cats, small mammals, and reptiles, as well as professional experience handling dogs of all breeds in a grooming salon. My services focus on safety, routine, and clear communication. Sorry if you don't want your inbox flooded with photos of your pets, because it's going to happen! (but really, feel free to ask me for less or more photos during visits) Have plants too?🪴 I can help tend to those as well during drop-ins. Just let me know!

Erika had to be the best dog walker I’ve ever had. I would honestly, never want to use anyone else. I had a trip out of town that ended up having multiple flight delays and cancellations. I ended up having to extend the care last minute — she graciously worked with me on a moments notice. She was very polite and charismatic at meet and greet, took phenomenal care of Athena, was constantly quick to respond, kept me updated, sent photos, had full flexibility. She also helped work through any logistic issues efficiently and empathetically. My electronic lock to front door broke due to battery and she was at leasing office first thing, handling the situation for me. She made sure it was fixed and reassured me through my travels. She took my trash out. Left a thank you card. From start to finish she went above and beyond. It honestly felt like she treated my dog and home as her own, which is rare to find in sitters. Tremendous dog care provider. Would highly, highly recommend.

Erika was amazing! She accommodated us and was responsive. Our pets seemed to enjoy her and had a relaxing time while we were away. We will be reaching back out to her for future visits!

Erika went above and beyond with taking care of our two kitties while we were traveling, communicating with us every step of the way, sending us adorable photos, keeping the cat areas clean, and even offering to bring in our mail. You can tell our cats felt so comfortable with her, even our one cat who is usually very skittish and always hides away from strangers. I would highly recommend booking Erika to care for your furry loved ones, and we will definitely book her again if we need a sitter in the future!

Erika is very sweet and did a good job with my dog. He really liked her and was happy to be there!

Information Erika F. would like to know about your pet

Most details can be exchanged at Meet and Greets, but a few questions I like to ask include: Any reactive behaviors? Are pets allowed on furniture? Do they know any commands? Are they crated when alone? How far do they normally walk? Are there areas/things to avoid? Do they have a habit of pulling?

A typical day

I love to be outside! If it's a nice day that's where you'll likely find us. Dogs will be taken for walks/potty (rain or shine). Cats will have their litter cleaned. All will be encouraged to play :)
