Pet care experience
*Please note I have a friendly cat at home * * MUST BE CAT-FRIENDLY :) * *I only board pets from one family at a time* I love animals. I have experience house sitting and boarding and previously have worked as a veterinary assistant at an emergency hospital in the emergency service, dermatology, internal medicine and with a primary care in-home vet. I have experience giving medications, fluids, injections. I’ve also had elderly cats with heart, kidney issues, diabetes, allergies, so I am familiar with those health concerns. I've had dogs, cats, a bunny, a turtle, hamsters, birds. I have experience administering medication, and special needs. I also took a pet CPR and First Aid course and know how to safely handle an animal. I currently live in Alameda on the west end by the beach and can do boarding with dogs that are friendly to cats as I have a sweet cat, house-sitting or drop-in visits in the west end of Alameda. I will send you lots of pictures of your pup and check in with you if I have any questions. Thanks!
Reviews
Thank you for taking good care of our girl again! :)
We left our two cats with Erika for nine days and she kept us updated (and relieved) with messages and photos. She's very responsible and we trust her with our kitties.
Erika is great! I feel completely comfortable with her taking care of my kitties
Erika did a great job taking care of my fur child. Erika is a very calming spirit which helped. I will definitely reach out again and have her take care of my Bumble in the future.

Safety, trust & environment
With having a veterinary background, I pay attention to details. I have a gentle Persian cat at home and let pets be free in my apartment but can crate as well as needed if the pet cannot be alone free when I step out of home or baby gate a part of the apartment.
Home
Information Erika H. would like to know about your pet
I can board up to 3 pets from the same family only, I don’t board multiple unrelated pets for safety concerns. I would like to know of your dog's temperament, whether they are neutered/spayed, medications and any allergies. They need to be friendly to cats and be on flea preventative. No breed preferences and no heavy barkers unfortunately because of the neighbors.
A typical day
I love to go on walks, usually down crown beach, and also live 5 min walk from the Washington dog park. I usually have pets close by during the day but otherwise I like to be active during the day.
