I am a telehealth therapist so can work from anywhere! That being said, the times I can walk your dog will be somewhat limited to when I am in/out of session. I work mon-thurs, 9-6 but can be in the home with them all day, able to let them in/out if you have a backyard. I am consitent and able to take morning/evening walks and can usually take them on a short walk/play during my lunch from 12-1.

Safety, trust & environment

I will not be able to accommodate your pet in my home; I have a cat of my own who is very much an only child:) I am able to and have a lot of experience being in the home with your pets, staying overnight, and providing lots of videos and pictures of your animals while you are away. I can easily crate your dog if/when needed based on their needs; I have consistent experience in crating dogs who need to be crated at night/when I leave. I have much experience understanding dogs who can only be left home alone for a certain number of hours and will always schedule my day around this while caring for your animals. I have taken care of 2+ animals in a home at a time and am comfortable/able to walk 2 dogs at the same time, or separately depending on their needs.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of all ages, sizes, and reactivities of dogs since 2018. I am comfortable with giving medication and eye drops but do not have experience with injections. I am comfortable and willing to be in the home full time with your pet while you are gone (overnights). I love walks and spending time with your animal. I am understanding and accommodating of all schedules for their needs. I have provided care for senior dogs in all stages of dementia. I have a lot of experience with reactive/anxious dogs and are more than willing to meet you and your dog where they are at; meeting at a 3rd location (sniff spot, park, etc) to get to know the pet first before committing to the care. I feel comfortable with dogs who are quick to reactivity and giving extra time/space/understanding to those behaviors.

Erika is truly the BEST! My four pets can be total brats and all have big personalities, but they all adore Erika and are so happy to see them. They’re so flexible and have totally saved my butt when I forget to book a pet sitter until way last minute. Highly highly recommend them!
