Information Erika K. would like to know about your pet

I try to match the energy level in the temperament of each pet under my care. Any special instructions or any special needs, just let me know.

A typical day

The townhouse community park is right outside my front door. I can throw a ball like a baseball player to play fetch and will run around with your dog. There’s a trail just a few blocks away we walk to everyday. I also have treat puzzles for mental stimulation and other activities.

Pet care experience

I’m a dog owner to a mid size Bernedoodle and pet sitter for many, many years. I have experience with all types of dogs … from puppies to senior dogs that require extra care. I can administer oral medication due to age or illness. I also pet sit for cats, rabbits, birds and other pets. I provide a safe and loving environment! I usually have calm zen music playing but also put on some current hits and have play time! I also provide mental stimulation and physical exercise by encouraging dogs to search for treat rewards with puzzles and/or other activities. We go for several walks throughout the day in our community park (which is across from me). I like to match the energy and needs of each pet … Whether they’re energetic and need to run or if they’re calm and walk slow. Some small dogs like to be carried … so be it :) Most of my clients have been on a referral basis, word of mouth, friends and family. My goal is to keep pets in my care as happy, comfortable and as safe possible.

Erika is Amazing! My go to sitter for wherever I go out of town. She sends updates and videos and Kash lives his best life with her and her pup. Thanks so much Erika!

Erika was absolutely incredible and showed so much patience with my Kash, who struggles with separation anxiety. She went above and beyond to keep him comfortable and reassured, providing regular updates that which gave me peace of mind while on my trip. Her kindness and attentiveness to him made all the difference. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again! Highly recommend! Thanks Erika!

Erika provided excellent care for my dog when I was away, she gave updates with pics/videos multiple times a day and was able to troubleshoot any issues that came up. My dog got along great with her therapy dog and it was evident that Erika put a lot of thought and care into the activities she took them out to do, would highly recommend!

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.
