Reliable Cat and Dog Sitter/Walker!

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with various breeds of dogs- from mutts to basset hounds, dogs with special needs, senior dogs and high energy hounds. My family has a four year old basset that was rescued from a hoarding situation, a coonhound/beagle and an energetic coonhound (we love our hounds!). I love taking them for walks along park trails and to dog parks when I visit my parents. I have walked and dog sat for high energy puppies, senior dogs, pups with special needs and have experience with dogs who need medication administered. I’ve never met a dog that I didn’t love! I’m a big cat person as well! My late cat was a tortie with Cerebellar Hypoplasia who developed severe anemia and diabetes in her last year of life, so I’m used to giving insulin injections, handling feeding tubes and daily medication. I provide at least two daily updates along with pictures (but can provide more updates if needed!) and will make sure that your pet is comfortable and happy while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule as this is my main job and can accommodate your pup’s routine/schedule as needed! Feel free to message me if you have any questions or want to schedule a meet and greet! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend. :)

Erika's always great with our cat Cassie. You can tell she loves animals and gives them lots of attention during her visits. Her cheery updates and photos are always appreciated.

Erika was great with our cat, Cassie. The two hit it off very quickly. We got daily updates from Erika with fun details about her time with Cassie, plus great photos, along with logistical stuff so we knew Cassie was happy and healthy.

Erika was great with my cat Eliza! She followed my care instructions well, discussing Eliza's needs beforehand to make sure we were on the same page when it came to food and medication. Erika also sent me detailed updates and photos every day, letting me know that my cat was still happy and healthy. Her cheerful attitude and attention to detail allowed me to enjoy my vacation knowing my cat was in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment

I take safety very seriously and recognize the huge responsibility that owners are leaving me with while they’re gone. They’re trusting me with their loved one and their house, so I make sure to supervise their pet closely and treat them as though they are my own.

Information Erika K. would like to know about your pet

I am always wanting to be aware of things such as if your pup gets along with other dogs, how they behave while walking on a leash, what their daily routine is like, if they have any health or behavioural issues, etc.

A typical day

I love going on nice long walks with clients, especially to big parks and on hiking trails if that’s something that the pup like doing!!
