Pet care experience
Your Pet’s New Best Friend
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!

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!
Ratings and 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.
Thank you Erika for taking such good care of Chonk!😊
Erika was very prompt, kept in contact with us about how our cat was doing, and went above and beyond to calm him.
