Reliable, Animal Loving companion

Pet care experience

Hello there, My name is Erika and I would be thrilled pet sit for you. I have years of experience in animal care as I have always had a dog to care for. I have always been one to take them on long walks, feed them and play with them as I know they all have tons of energy that they need to exert. Additionally, I have taken care of my friends’ dogs and cats alike. I find it important to treat each and every single animal that I care for as my own. This is because I understand the need for your pet’s safety and security you. I hope you consider me to take care of your little fella.

Erica was great and professional. Made sure my dog got her exercise and sent pictures/updates for the walk. Would definitely book again!

I cannot recommend Erika highly enough as a pet sitter. She is incredibly responsive and attentive to both me and my furry friend. Leaving my dog in someone else’s care can be nerve-racking, but Erika’s warm demeanor, and evident love for animals immediately put me at ease. Erika went above and beyond to ensure my pets, comfort and happiness which meant the world to me. She provided regular updates and even sent adorable photos of their time together. What sets Erika apart is her responsiveness… whether it’s a quick question or last-minute change of plans she always there to provide assistance and support.

Erika is a responsible and caring cat caretaker and pet owner. I have seen her warm and loving interactions with not only her own two young cat siblings but with my own cats and friends’ pets, too. She nursed her cats back to health as they had colds when she first got them. So she is comfortable administering medicine. I know Erika feeds her cats good quality food and provides lots of interactive toys, scratching posts, a cat tree and more. She is always sharing videos and pictures of her kitties. I recommend Erika as a pet sitter.

Erika is the sweetest pet sitter and owner! She cares about the needs of the animals in question and comforts them with lots of love when their people are away.

Safety, trust & environment

In order to be trusted and ensure your pet's safety while checking up on them in your home, it is important to establish a strong reputation for reliability and responsibility. This can be achieved by consistently showing up on time, following any specific instructions provided by the you, and communicating openly and honestly about any concerns or issues that may arise. It is also important to have the necessary experience and training in animal care to confidently handle any situation that may arise, such as administering medication or dealing with behavioral issues. For instance, I have previously owned a dog who unfortunately had diabetes. I ensured he received proper injections of his insulin on a scheduled basis. Additionally, taking a moment prior to your trip to build a rapport with the pet is important. Through this I can meet your pet which will help you and them feel comfortable and secure prior to your departure. By demonstrating my dedication to the well-being of the pet and maintaining open lines of communication with the client, I can establish trust and ensure the pet's safety during my visits.

My pet sitting visits are an integral part of my schedule, as I block out specific time slots each day to care for and spend time with the pets in my care. I prioritize these visits and ensure that I am available when my clients need, whether it be for daily walks, feeding, playtime, or the occasional overnight stay. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure that each pet receives the attention and care they deserve, while also allowing time for any unexpected events or last-minute requests that may arise. Providing consistent and reliable care for each pet is a top priority for me, and I make sure to schedule my visits in a way that allows me to give them the best possible care and attention.
