Availability

I’m a full time work from home gal, so I can be flexible in doing early morning to mid morning walks or afternoon and early evening walks! I can also stop by on lunch times to check in on your fur baby. If they are with me during the day they will receive more attention with intermittent play time and potty time breaks!

Safety, trust & environment

I am comfortable with both crate and non crate trained dogs, and I will not board two pets who are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with each other. We have stairs in our home and can make your pet comfortable either upstairs, downstairs or both. If I am coming to your home, I will only do so at the times you ask me to and I am happy to leave with any set up that works for your pet.

Information Erika G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has special needs regarding medication or mobility - I am very accommodating but want to make sure I get it right to keep your fur baby healthy and happy!

A typical day

I work from home so during the day pups will get snuggles during all the call breaks! I am across the street from a fenced in private dog park where we can do zoomie breaks and have a gated patio where pups (and me!) can lounge in the sun. If your dog has a daily walk and meal routine we also follow that schedule. Finally, if you approve I can easily set up some enrichment activities for your dog.

Pet care experience

I’m a longtime pet owner of dogs, cats, birds, ferrets and more! I’ve always been the go-to person to look after my friends and families pets! I’ve taken care of newborn kittens, energetic puppies and recently took care of my 14 year old dog during her cancer treatments. If your dog or cat needs any specialty care, or just a friend while you’re away, I’m your girl!

Erika was Great & took such great care of my Girl Ripley. Will definitely use again if the need arises and highly recommend her for anyone interested!

Hands down the #1 person anyone would pick to dog walk/sit. She is the most trustworthy and pet loving person and did a wonderful job taking care of my two pups. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone and would use her over and over again to pet sit my pups.
