Pawsitively awesome petsitter 😊

Pet care experience

I'm a huge animal lover. I have 10 years dog sitting experience and 6 years of dog daycare experience. Every dog is different and I aim to provide each pet with all they need and give them the love mom or dad would, while you are away. I am able to administer medications and work with picky eaters or other challenges. I can work with dogs of all temperaments, as well. I have experience with seniors and dogs with special needs (diabetic and epilepsy, mostly). I enjoy walking, hiking, and cuddling with any and all dogs I've met and can't wait to do more! I can provide just about anything your dog needs or anything you'd like your dog to have! I can also work with kitties, reptiles, and small mammals, if needed.

Erika was AMAZING! I was very stressed leaving Josie who is 14 and very anxious but Erika took the best care of her! Josie loved her and I was stress free while being away. Erika is the BEST and I would highly recommend her! i will be using her again for sure!! THANK YOU ERIKA!!!

Erika is officially our pet sitter for life! Lol She is great with my very anxious and sensitive chihuahua. Since having her sit for my dog, I am able to have fun on my vacation, free of worry about my fur baby- and that is priceless! I highly recommend Erika, she is timely, cares, and provides love to your pet as if it were her own.

Best dogsitter ever! I travel a lot and it has been difficult to find someone who treats my dog with as much care as I do. My dog was the happiest she’s ever been upon my return- which is a testament to how she was treated. Erika followed my instructions regarding feeding and medication schedule. She even tended to my houseplants and my overgrown yard (for dog potty purposes), and left my house cleaner than how she found it! Professional, personable, and a true dog lover. Don’t hesitate to hire her. She is now our chosen sitter for life!! :-)
