About Erika F.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and trust come first. I follow your pet’s routine closely, keep a clean and secure environment, and always ensure they have fresh water, proper nutrition, and lots of attention. I respect your home and your pet’s space, and I always prioritize their comfort, well-being, and happiness. Clear communication and updates help you feel confident while you’re away!
Information Erika F. would like to know about your pet
I want to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away! Please let me know about any medical conditions, allergies, behavioral quirks (like nervousness around strangers or other animals), routines, favorite toys, or anything else that helps me give them the best possible care. The more I know, the more I can tailor my care to their unique needs!
A typical day
I love keeping pets active, engaged, and loved while you’re away! Depending on their personality and energy level, that might mean playtime with their favorite toys, walks around the neighborhood, belly rubs, brushing, or just cozy cuddle sessions. I always try to match their routine and favorite activities to make them feel right at home!

Your Pet’s New Best Friend
Pet care experience
I fell in love with dogs at age nine when my family adopted our first dog. Since then, I have understood that pups are part of the family and I understand the anxiety that comes with trusting your dog with someone new. Therefore, I take the responsibility of caring for your dog seriously. Because I understand that each dog is different, with different personalities and needs, I tailor my approach to each dog, whether that be prioritizing snuggles or long walks and lots of play to ensure that your dog receives enough exercise. I am a graduate student at the University of Maryland and therefore I have flexibility in my schedule. I choose to dog sit as it allows me a break from my work to play, walk, and snuggle with dogs, my favorite way to decompress! I have my own dog and therefore, understand the needs and wants of a pet parent, which is why I prioritize frequent check-ins and pictures to ensure that can rest each knowing your dog is in good hands!! I look forward to meeting you and your pup!

Reviews

Erika was terrific! She sent me pictures of Blue, which put my mind at ease. Blue is a little shy at first. But she warmed up to Erika. I will definitely hire Erika again if I need help!

Thank you so much Erika! Thank you for taking such good care of Chonk and making sure he got his daily medications. I appreciate it!😊🐈

Erika has taken care of my senior cat over the past 2 years and I highly recommend her services. She is dependable and communicates concerns as needed.

I highly recommend Erika! She took great care of my senior cat who has medication crumbled into his food. Erika is dependable and genuinely cares about animals under her care.
