Information Erika K. would like to know about your pet

I need to make sure you dog is potty trained, can walk up stairs since I live in a walk up and doesn't suffer from separation anxiety.

A typical day

I love walking so if your dog loves to walk he or she will have the perfect partner. If allowed I would also take your dog to the small dog park in my area.

Pet care experience

After losing my dog to an illness, i wanted to be more involved with dogs and help people make sure their dog is taken care of when they want to travel. I currently volunteer at an animal shelter too! I have had dogs all my life and they are part of the family. Their comfort and safety always come first. As a caretaker of your pet I will make sure we meet first and discuss your pet, their needs and their character.

Erika is so great with our dog!! Our dog always comes back from Erika’s happy and healthy. Also, our dog can sometimes be a little difficult (i.e., toward other dogs), but Erika does such a great job managing her. 100% recommend booking with Erika!

Erika has been great & so reliable for walking Waffles. She always keeps me updated on her schedule. Such a great help to have her assistance on days I have to work late. Highly recommend her!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
