Pet care experience

Like they're my own!

I've loved animals as long as I can remember, always having a pet in our home growing up. My two pug dogs are my world, I'm VERY picky who cares for them when I travel and would like to provide the very best to other pets, caring for them as I would my own. I'm knowledgeable puppy care to senior care, administering medications, unique needs, etc. My home is small, super clean, bright, fenced in yard to play...and tons of love!

Erika was wonderful with my dog during a several-day stay. She has a quiet, peaceful home with a secure fenced backyard that gave the dogs plenty of space to play and relax. Her two small dogs are lovely, well-behaved, and playful, and my dog definitely enjoyed their company. Erika was very communicative throughout the stay, providing updates and making me feel completely at ease. She was a pleasure to work with, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with my dog again. Could not recommend her more!

I can’t recommend Erika enough! My pup has some medical issues which made me nervous to leave him, but Erika made me feel so reassured and took the best care of him I could’ve asked for. I especially appreciated the communication and how quickly she responded. Erika made him feel so comfortable and treated him like her own! Highly recommend!

Erika is one of the sweetest people you could ever meet, and I have never known anyone to love and care for dogs like her! Erika will not just walk and feed your dog; she will love it, play with it, and give it all the attention it deserves. She will lovingly treat your fur-baby like her own!

Erika's love of animals knows no bounds. She is a responsible and caring dog mom to 2 loving and active pugs. Seeing her interactions with her dogs, my own dog, even dogs she passes on the street, I know she would give all the love and attention a pet would need. I know my dog, Samson, is in safe and capable hands when he is with her.

Erika is the most loving and fun pet lover I know! She goes out of her way to say hello to all pets she meets and she especially loves dogs! She speaks to them on their level! Dogs LOVE Erika! I would trust her with my precious cats too!! And if I had a bird, Erika would love my bird and take top quality care of them too! If I had a fish, she’d love them too!

Schedule

While I work full time, I do have a flexible schedule. I can take my pets to work if needed, my dogs are fully house trained, kennel trained and used to being in kennel during the day. Otherwise, I am a home-body and my favorite thing is time with pet family in the evenings and weekends!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in back yard, and my two pugs love to play with other dogs. We love going to the dog park, but they are happy with friends at home, as well. Zoomies in the yard are a blast! There is both shade and sun, and plenty of water, I always supervise...they're just fun to watch! Whenever we can there will be plenty of dog piles, either on the couch reading a book, or sleeping in bed at night. :)

Pets

A typical day

I base your dog's care on their specific needs, whether young and energetic or senior and chill. My pugs get along with either pace, playing or protecting as needed. We're their family while they're here!
