Experienced foster and trainer!
Pet care experience
I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life, usually my own. For the past five years I have been fostering and training service dogs through an ADI accredited nonprofit organization in which I’ve cared for many, many dogs of varying breeds and ages. I've trained and placed my fosters as mobility service dogs, medical alert service dogs, and facility dogs and it has been the most rewarding experience of my life (:

Safety, trust & environment
I have two larger breed dogs at home that love having new friends around! I live in an apartment building, I walk my dogs every morning after breakfast and evening after dinner to ensure they receive enough exercise. At home we play and snuggle a lot, I have lots of toys, an extra crate if necessary, extra dog bowls, many dog beds throughout the apartment, as well as lots and lots of yummy treats!
Information Erika K. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs, routines, or allergies. Let me know if there are any fears they have (other dogs, busy streets, bikes, men, loud noises, etc.) so I can better know how to avoid these and ensure your dog is having a great time!
A typical day
I take my dogs on walks every morning and evening to ensure they’re getting enough exercise and socialization! We do training at home and when out on walks so they get some mental stimulation as well! Our walks are typically around the neighborhood, sometimes out on the Constitution Trail. Once back at home it’s lots of play time and snuggles!

Availability
I work full time and am beginning the process of applying to Physical Therapy programs to receive my doctorate, but would love to help care for your pups before or after work. I am at work most of the day Mondays & Wednesdays. However most other days I am free during the mornings as I work mostly in the afternoon.
