Pet care experience

Reliable and energetic pet lover

I have had the privilege of accumulating over seven years of extensive experience in the field of dog and cat care. During this time, my passion for these beloved pets has driven me to become a dedicated and knowledgeable caregiver. My journey began in 2018 when I welcomed my first furry friend into my home, my lovely orange tabby, Felix! Since then, I have been committed to providing the highest level of care to dogs and cats. This experience has taught me the importance of patience, understanding, and compassion in caring for these wonderful animals. In addition, I spent four years helping to take care of numerous cats at a local shelter in Boston as they wait for adoption. I played with them, kept them company, fed them when needed, groomed them, and provided any needed medications. Overall, I love cats and dogs and am excited meet some new furry friends!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I ensure I provide my cat with love and care when I'm there, always ensuring their presence is acknowledged. They help and support me and my mental well-being as much as I can help and support theirs. I ensure I maintain a routine feeding schedule, clean his litter box daily, and provide them with purposeful love and appreciation. I will always abide by the client's rules and expectations for their own pets. I always emphasize open communication and honesty with clients to maintain a trusting and lasting relationship between us and with their pets.

Erika was great with my cat! I went to go see family over the Thanksgiving break and she fed, watered, and played with my cat twice a day, and even sent pictures. Awesome pet sitter!

Erika graciously accepted my request on short notice and she did a great job taking care of my dog and house sitting for the weekend. When I came back everything was in great shape and my dog was really happy! Thank you!

Erika is a very responsible and reliable friend of mine. I know that I can rely on her to be punctual and communicative when making plans with her. Additionally, she is a true animal lover with a genuine passion for what she does. If you're looking for someone who treats your pets like family and provides top-notch care, Erika is the one to call.

Erika was amazing and took great care of my cat, Felix, when I was away on vacation twice this year. She came over twice a day (morning and evening) to feed Felix and pet and play with him for a couple hours. She texted pictures of Felix daily and made me feel at ease. I will definitely be asking her to take care of my cat the next time I’m out of town!
