ER vet nurse, experienced trainer
Pet care experience
Hello, I'm an emergency/trauma veterinary nurse with experience working with reactive animals as well as special needs pets. I've worked in whelping for a guide dog school, taught children and adults basic obedience and agility classes, and currently work as the inpatient nurse for a local hospital. I have experience administering oral and injectible meds. At home, I have a high drive and energetic Velcro dog who adores his frisbee, and several cuddly cats 🐕😺 I will always want to do a meet and greet before agreeing to any new clients/work. I'd like to learn about your animals and their needs and let them meet me before interacting with them while you're away! I have experience handling birds, rabbits, cats and dogs, have worked with horses, and have some minimal experience working with exotics such as skunks, snakes and turtles. I am comfortable with any pet and am willing to learn how to beat care for them 😄 I am available to perform drop-in visits multiple times a day, and to walk/play/exercise any pets on weekdays. Please ask any questions you may have! ~Erika
Reviews
Erika was awesome like always! She made time to come care for Koda on a very last-minute request. We really appreciate how she always does her best to help us out when we need her. And Koda adores her, too. We certainly do not hesitate to recommend Erika!!
Erika was great! She is good with our fur baby, kind, courteous and always on time. We highly recommend Erika to anyone needing a sweet and gentle and reliable pet sitter. We will definitely be booking her again soon!!
Erika was very good. She responds to phone calls and messages fast. She is reliable and did what we asked her to di. But most of all the dogs are really happy with her and seem well cared for. I will use her again for sure.
Erika did a great job ! We were very happy that she took great care of our dog. She is kind, and a great listener. We felt comfortable having her care for our dog in our home.

Currently I only offer visits at your home. I do not keep pets at my own home, but would consider it for extenuating circumstances. Pets must be fully vaccinated to stay in my own home.
Information Erika H. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know about what makes your pet happy and what I can do to make their stay more comfortable ? I also will need to know how often they need to be let out, any dietary or medical needs and if they have any allergies.
A typical day
I enjoy connecting with the animals and playing little games like follow me, playing with their favorite toys, cuddling if they are anxious or playing outside in a fenced yard!

Availability
