Each pet’s care is unique! Whether that is walking them alone, specific dietary needs, or toys that are off limit. I work closely with you and your pet to tailor to their needs, and ensure a happy and comfortable stay. I always suggest a meet and greet prior to first stay, so we can review your expectations, learn more about how to best communicate with your pet, and ensure we are on the same page for care needs.

Information Erika H. would like to know about your pet

Need to discuss any special needs or behaviors, and confirm they will get along with my senior dog, a 20 pound Jack Russell / Chihuahua mix. I always recommend a meet and greet prior to introduce the dogs, go over their care requirements, feeding and bathroom habits, what toys they can play with, and ensure you and your fur baby feels safe and comfortable in my care.

A typical day

We typically start our morning with breakfast, and a loop around the block for pee and poop. Then some play time with a bone or stuffed toy (my favorite). Then I’ll snooze either in my dog bed, or on the couch, or in the sunshine in the backyard. Then another midday day loop, and again in the evening time. Fairview Park is a 3 minute drive if we want to explore the park.

Pet care experience

I have been a dog lover my whole life! Over the last 13 years, I’ve raised my Jack Russell Chihuahua mix from puppy to healthy senior. Like most millennials, I bought the house with a yard for my dog! I work from home in the tech industry, which allows me to spend all day with your pups, giving them attention throughout the day, taking them for regular walks and potty breaks, and tending to their needs. I live on a quiet block with a peaceful enclosed backyard. I would love to host your fur babies!

We loved Erika, she is responsible, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. Our 2 pups loved her back yard, and they got along great with her own dog. She let them sleep with her which is huge as our pups sleep with us at home! She also provided many photos and videos throughout the day to show us how comfy our dogs were. We will definitely be using her services again!

Erika continues to be our go-to to watch our babies! We feel so relieved going anywhere knowing the dogs are in good hands. They love to sunbathe in her backyard and it’s clear they absolutely love her and Snap’s company. We love all the photos and videos we receive. Thanks Erika!
