Animal Lover | Nurse | Athlete

Pet care experience

My name is Erika. I relocated to WNC in 2020 after graduating with my BSN and playing college volleyball for four years. I am currently working as an ER nurse. I grew up on a ranch in Colorado with dogs, horses, chickens, and cats. I love all animals and will treat them as my own. As an athlete I am able to run with them or go for long walks. I am available to do over night stays and watch them in either your home or mine- whatever you prefer. I am comfortable around all animals and I am willing to play with them, groom them, feed and water, give medications, or drive them places if needed, etc. I will care for them as you wish and treat them as if they were my own!

Erika took great care of our two labradors and left the house very clean! She shared photo's of our boys every day.

I have a very anxious Aussie who gets very out of sorts when his herd of humans are away. From our initial meet and greet with Erika, I could see that her laid back and trusting energy provided my pup with the reassurance he needed. I was very happy with how the first visit went and plan to hire her again!

Our girl was instantly comfortable with Erika, which made us comfortable! Highly recommended!

We’ve had some rough experiences with Rover sitters before, but we will 10000% keep booking Erika. She’s super kind, loves dogs, and was incredibly respectful of our home (leaving it just as clean as we left it, which was a nice surprise after a weeklong trip and having two Aussies that shed like crazy). She’s dependable and actually seems to genuinely care. HIGHLY recommend.

Information Erika I. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your animal has any special tendencies or needs. How do they act when left at home alone? Do they need to be in a kennel? Are they chewers? Do they get along with other dogs? I have a toy Aussie of my own that I would prefer to tag along with me during Rover visits. She loves to play and gets along with other animals. Let me know if this will be an issue!

A typical day

I will fit our day around the needs and routines that you would like provided to your pet. I am able to go on runs/walks, adventure to a hiking spot or check out the local dog park.
