We appreciate Erika's reliability and easy communication! She is our go-to person for walking our 2 pups when we can't be there ourselves.

Erika was very patient with a very head strong English Setter. She took her time and was always on time. I would use Erika again.

Erika was right on time and took a pic for us to see that our girl took care of business. She stayed the full time!.

Information Erika L. would like to know about your pet

For overnight boarding, I prefer dogs that don't shed a lot or can wear antishedding suit. Reminder, please provide everything your dog needs. LGBTQIA+ friendly . BLM. Kindness matters.

A typical day

I adapt to a dogs energy. Couch potatoes, trail runners, and ball addicts are all welcome. I like to teach tricks like turns and poses for fun if you provide extra treats. Beginner agility training is an option.
