Pet care experience

Loving, Experienced, and Reliable!

I've spent over a decade raising my own pup and have enjoyed pet-sitting for family and friends. Dogs are a huge part of my life, and I can't wait to meet yours! Here’s why I’m the perfect sitter for your furry friend: 🐶 Experienced Caregiver: Comfortable administering all types of medications, including pills, injections, and inhaled medicines. 🏃 Active and Attentive: I love starting and ending the day with long walks—your pup will get plenty of exercise! 🏡 Safe, Secure, and Stress-Free: Your dog will be the only pup in my home—no worries about conflicts or getting along with others. I live in a secure, escape-proof home without a yard or fences to jump. 💻 24/7 Supervision: I work from home, so your pup will never be left alone and will always have loving care and attention. 🕒 Schedule-Oriented: I’m diligent about following your pup's routines and any special instructions. 🧡 Playful & Kind: I love showering dogs with affection, and my 11-year-old twins are excited to join in with extra playtime and lots of pets! Whether your pup needs medication, a brisk walk, or some snuggles, I’ll treat them as part of the family. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to learn more about your pup and their needs! I look forward to keeping tails wagging while you're away

Erika watched our energetic miniature schnauzer, Sally, over Easter weekend and did an amazing job! She kept us well-informed with regular updates and adorable pictures, and followed all of our care instructions perfectly. Her home is very dog-friendly and secure — we never had to worry about Sally getting loose. Erika’s two 12-year-old kids gave Sally tons of attention and playtime, and she came home happy and tired (the best combo!). We’ll definitely be booking with Erika again the next time we’re out of town!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a secure, escape-proof home without a yard or fences to jump. My home is dog-proofed and doesn't have any exposed wires or tangle hazards. Food is always kept on high counters and medicines are locked away.

A typical day

I love creating a fun and engaging experience for the pets I watch! Some of the activities I enjoy include: Morning and Evening Walks: We’ll explore the neighborhood or local parks, letting your pup enjoy fresh air and exercise. Playtime: Whether it’s a game of fetch, tug-of-war Training Refreshers: If your pup enjoys practicing tricks or basic commands, I’m happy to incorporate that into our time together. Snuggles and Relaxation: For dogs who love downtime, we’ll enjoy cozy snuggles, belly rubs, or just chilling together in a calm and safe environment. Special Routines: If your dog has a favorite toy or specific activity they love, I’ll be sure to include it so they feel right at home.
