T-R-E-A-T your pet and book with me

Pet care experience

I grew up around dogs and horses which taught me about animal behavior, the responsibility that comes with caring for them. In many ways, I’ve learned a lot about myself through these experiences. Animals are good for the soul and I am the best version of myself around them. It’s cheesy but true. I understand that a healthy balance of play and a structured routine are fundamental for good behavior. I’m careful to be present when observing them and helping them adapt to new environments, while spoiling them with loving attention, active play and treats for good behavior. Interactive playtime and cuddles are just as important as consistency following rules are my approach to pet care.

Erika always takes the best care of my pet when I leave and treats her as if she were her pet. She is reliable and was able to help last minute. Will definitely use her again and again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have been a Dog Parent so I deliver what I expected when considering pet care. I am respectful, reliable, and truly have a passion for working with animals.

Information Erika G. would like to know about your pet

Medications, fears, if they have any physical sensitivities like diets or whether they don’t like to be pet in areas like paws or ears, etc. Please disclose whether they have shown a dislike for children or strangers, so I can be prepared to the safety of all. Preferred Vet contact information for an emergencies. Also please be honest about age and behavioral issues before booking, I am a very flexible person and genuinely willing to work with owners for the best care of your pet. It’s important to be open and communicative from booking to pickup.

A typical day

They come first, always. And which some of my repeat pups know they are spoiled with me and they can get me up no matter time of night no questions asked. After a year of quarantine in the Heights area I have some routes that I prefer for peaceful walks that are meant for exercise and not overstimulated socializing with other dogs without confirming with the owners comfort level for a dog park. For bigger breeds or the high energy pups that’s always a fan favorite!
