Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs, Cats, and Exotics Welcome!🐾
Hi, I'm Erika! Animals have always been a huge part of my life — I grew up with dogs, cats, reptiles, and small animals, and even volunteered at an animal shelter during my teenage years. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, dog boarding, and house sitting for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, small animals, reptiles, and fish. I'm calm, loving, and structured in how I care for animals, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I also have experience with special needs pets and those with disabilities, so I'm confident providing gentle, attentive care to pets who may need a little extra support. When pets stay with me, they'll be in a cozy, pet-friendly apartment with a dedicated pet area — no children or other pets, just a quiet, safe environment where they can relax and be themselves. Whether you need daily walks, check-ins, overnight care, or a comfortable boarding experience, I'll treat your pets like family. I can't wait to meet your furry (or scaly!) friends! Dog Walking: Regular walks with plenty of attention, sniff time, and exercise based on your dog's energy level. Drop-In Visits: Quick check-ins for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. Dog Boarding: Comfortable, calm home environment with a pet area — no other pets or children. House Sitting: Responsible, respectful care of your pets and your home while you're away.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When pets are in my care — whether in my home or my client's home — their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I create a calm, structured environment where pets feel secure and loved. In my home, pets stay in a quiet, pet-friendly apartment with a designated area just for them. There are no children or other pets, so they get my full attention in a low-stress environment. I keep the space clean, organized, and free of any hazards. Walks are always on a secure leash, and I monitor them closely during playtime and bathroom breaks. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible to reduce stress. I respect their home, follow all care instructions carefully, and keep them updated with photos and messages. I’m experienced with pets of all types, including those with special needs, and I always prioritize their health, safety, and emotional well-being.
Ratings and reviews
My puppy loves his walks with Erika
My puppy loves
She took my parents puppy last minute and I am very thankful! The puppy was very comfortable with her, and throughout the day when I checked on the pups Erika provided an update. I will definitely use her again! Highly recommended.
Erika was amazing! She gave me little updates with pictures and videos. Very sweet
