Personable Reliable Passionate Fun!

Pet care experience

Hi! ☺️My name is Erika Hart and I would be very interested in walking/sitting your fur babes! I moved to Lakewood, Colorado about 3 years ago in January 2020 from Columbus, Ohio. While living in Columbus, I did Rover & have worked for multiple different pet sitting companies in Ohio. Before my father passed away in April 2019, he helped me create pet therapy business where my 2 senior ESA dogs would come with me to all the different Assisted Living & Memory Care facilities all around Columbus and you can truly say, I have a true knack and love for not only animals, but people as well! I moved out to Colorado before the pandemic, and unfortunately all senior living facilities were shut down and I was unable to move my business out here. I have worked at a chiropractor’s office for the past 2 1/2 years and realized I truly miss being with animals. It is truly my calling and passion in life. I LOVE animals so much and I would be the perfect fit to tend and care for your animals! I did graduate from college with a degree in Business Administration and in my down time, I love going to concerts & listening to music! I am 30 years old and have alot of energy and I know what it takes to give clients the peace of mind they deserve while away at work, vacation, etc. My qualifications include: 1. Very reliable. I have my own transportation and could come any day at any hour (including weekends & holidays). 2. Very passionate and driven. I will make sure your animal(s) are in wonderful hands by sending emails/texts after every visit, taking LOTS of pictures of our visit, and walk your dogs and be with them 24/7! 3. Very flexible. I am willing to work around your schedule to come at the right time you suggest and I am willing to make sure your pet gets the exceptional care it deserves during our visit. Before I commit/start any visit, I always like to set up an appointment to meet the owner and animals because I believe in an old fashioned approach of meeting people face to face so they can see what kind of person I am, show me where the food, water bowl, treats, medications, etc are at and to make sure your pets can get familiarized with me and make sure it is a good fit for both your animal and me! I look forward to watching your fur babies and if you have ANY questions, please don't hesitate to contact me and I would be glad to answer any questions!!

We could not ask for a better experience for Rebel. Ericka was amazing! She provided updates and made sure he was well taken care of. There is no one we would trust more with Rebel than Ericka!

Oh my gosh! Erika was soooo wonderful with our dog. He can be a handful. He has a lot of anxiety problems, but that did not bother her. She was more than willing to take him on. She sent tons of pictures and I’ve never seen him smile so much before. Above and beyond what our expectations were. Definitely will be using her again for when we go on vacation.

Erika took care of my rambunctious 3-month-old puppy for a long weekend, and he had the time of his life! From walks to snuggles, he was in such great hands with her: and I got lots of picture updates. Erika is the best.

Erika is the most amazing person! Seconds after meeting her I knew Gus was in great hands. I travel often and I have never felt so comfortable leaving my dog ever. Erika was constantly sending me detailed updates on Gus with multiple pictures throughout the day. Gus was very upset to leave & cant wait to spend another weekend at Erika's!

When I stay overnight or have to go walk a dog and go to your home, as long as we have the meet and greet before I come for an actual stay or walk, you can show me all the necessary needs to making sure your dog is well taken care of and comfortable. Writing down feeding schedule instructions, treats, play time, etc whatever you need for peace of mind while you are away at your home, please do not hesitate to let me know whatever will be comfortable for you and your fur babies.

Information Erika H. would like to know about your pet

Are they potty trained? How do they do on walks? How do they do with seeing other dogs on a walk/at a park? Any aggression towards other dogs or people?

A typical day

The nice thing about living in Lakewood is that there are so many parks and walking path options, that’s what makes living here so great! I love taking the dogs to Chatfield Park or Westminster Park and run around off leash or go for a walk, if more preferable. I live in a quiet apartment complex in Belmar with lots and lots of walking paths and Belmar Park right across the street! Your fur pup(s) will go for at least 4 walks a day. I love playing with toys or anything that gets a dog excited :) If your dog loves hikes, let me know and I would LOVE to take your dog on a nice hike in the mountains, probably my favorite activity!
