Services

Erika can care for

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Availability

Pet and plant care takes up most of my time. I am pretty flexible and can take same-day walk or drop in requests with returning clients. During house sits I will not be gone from the home more than 2-4 hours at a time while I either check on my own cats or meet with other clients within my service area.

Safety, trust & environment

Meet and Greets are required for all new clients and are non-negotiable. To minimize risks, I do not go to dog parks and dogs remain on leashes at all times unless they are in a fenced yard.

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 or noteable behaviors? Do they use a crate when alone? Where and when do they sleep? How far do they normally walk? What are their bathroom habits? Are there areas/things to avoid? Do they have a habit of pulling? Do they know any commands?

A typical day

I love nature and spending time 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 :) I'm a major homebody and enjoy being mindful, watching movies, learning new crafts, reading, and spending time with animals.

Erika has an amazing spirit and is a trustworthy sitter. We have booked twice before, and Erika remembered all 4 of our sweet babies. Will be booking again!

Erika took great care of Molly and Hobbes. Frequent updates and pictures, and took great care of the house too. Highly recommended!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
