Experienced pet care giver.

Pet care experience

I have had animals in my home, my whole life. Currently, I work in the fresh dog food industry and know a lot about nutrition. I also was a professional hunter/jumper horse trainer with many years of experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, and rodents. I personally have a dachshund who has had two back surgeries and I have a chinchilla. I have nursed my dog back to health twice after both back surgeries. Have given lots of meds and slowly worked her trough rehab, regaining her ability to walk. I care for 15+ horses on a daily basis. I know first aid and can give injections in the muscle. I have had cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, bunnies and my current chinchilla. I did have a fish tank with about 10 fish that I cared for. I also worked at Petsmart for a bit and are familiar with birds and some reptiles. Not really scared of anything and willing to go the extra mile for your fur baby. I love all kinds of animals and want to provide the best and safest care possible.

Erika is excellent with animals! She has watched my dog and my cat. My chihuahua is shy and tends to be withdrawn around strangers but he did great with her. She was able to take him on some walks and got him to eat. My cat is also a nervous wreck whenever we’re out of town but he seemed happy with her and actually didn’t refuse his food the whole time we were gone (which has happened before). I will definitely be hiring her again and would recommend her to anyone else with pets.

Erika is great!! She’s loves all animals small and large!! Loves going for walks with her own dog!! She always makes sure her own dog, Schnitzel is happy and well cared for. She has no problem cleaning up after them and make sure they are clean. Anyone’s dog would be in great hands with her.

Erika is a great choice as a dog sitter and caregiver. She loves animals. I have a nine year old dog who I’ve had since she was a puppy. Erika helps me care for Robbie including walking, feeding, bathing, visits to the vet and administering medication. Erika and Robbie have become great friends over time and Robbie looks forward to he walks and outings with Erika. Erika is absolutely responsible and dependable. She is smart and has common sense. I can’t think of anyone I know who would be a better choice.
