Reliable Caregiver
Pet care experience
I'm reliable, trustworthy, and kind. I have had great success as a caregiver for the last 15 years. I have always loved animals, grew up surrounded by all different kinds of fury friends. I feel comfortable and confident in providing a safe, healthy, and fun environment for pets to thrive. Can provide basic training to any pup in need.
Reviews
Erika did a great job with our dog Toby! She was very communicative, which we really appreciate. Will definitely hit her up for more stays in the future.
Erika has taken care of my two cats many many times and they absolutely love her! She’s so sweet with them and takes the time to give them love, attention and play time. She’s also wonderful at sending updates and photos and even waters my plants when I’ve asked! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone with a furry loved one.
Erika has cared for & walks our dog Peanut and it has always been a great experience. Erika is attentive, reliable, flexible and so caring. Peanut loves her walks! Erika sends updates and photos and makes sure we always know that things are going well. We trust her completely with our dog who is just like a child to us! Erika goes above and beyond and has always made us feel like Peanut is in the best hands!

Safety, trust & environment
I am very punctual and guarantee I will show up at our set time. I let the pet come to me without pushing my excitement and affection onto them, which is very important for anxious mammals. I respect the fact that I am a guest in their home and will enter with care. As a pet owner, I find clear and consistent communication and updates are important. I want to spend quality time with the animal so they don't feel alone when their owner is gone.
Information Erika J. would like to know about your pet
It is important for me to get as much information as possible about what your dog likes and needs. I'd like to know what training tactics you and your family uses to I can provide constant direction for them. I also need an honest description of how your dog is around other animals, people, and environments.
A typical day
I love going on long hikes or running around Lake Merrit, along Crown Beach, and in the Oakland hills. I have taken many dogs on my outdoor adventures and feel very equipped to do so. Also, happy to go to your local park to play fetch if your pup is into that.

Currently making a career change to create more space in my life for things that I enjoy. I have very open and flexible schedule. I enjoying being outside as much as possible and love any excuse to be active. Would love an animal companion for my daily walks.
