Pet care experience

Fun animal care in the mountains!

Not only have I had pets ever since I was little but I have been taking care of them. Friends and family have come to me time and time again to board, walk, bathe or just give their dog some fun for a couple hours! Growing up we raised golden puppies so I have lots of experience with puppies and their needs. I used to work at a dog grooming shop, so handling any type of personality is no problem for me. I love getting outside with any furry friend for some fun as well!

Erika is a wonderful pet care-taker. She grew up with many different animals. Her parents were Golden Retriever Breeders. (2 litters) Erika was part of the the whole birthing and raising process. She fell in love with every puppy. She did an internship at a near by Animal Clinic and learned about caring for pets in all different situations. She was in Westernaires and loved caring for the horses as well as riding and training. She has her own cats and dogs. She gives them a wonderful life with love, compassion and training. She understands all the safety involved with animal care. I would recommend Erika to care for anyone's animal. She is competent, loving and caring.

I've never met a dog that doesn't take to Erika right away. Whether it's a friend's pup or one passing by on the sidewalk they love her and she loves them. She really knows how to make a dog feel comfortable and will always treat him/her as if they were her own.

Erika will take care of your fur-babies as if they were her own. Trusting her with your special family member is not a question! She is capable to complete all necessary tasks because of her life long history of owning pets but also her experience she obtained while working within a veterinary office. And once you meet, her friendly nature will leave you and your pet even more comfortable... if that is even possible :) Don't miss the chance to book her!

I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is pretty malleable to help out with pets. Weekends vary depending on the time of year. Happy to work it out at booking.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a house and am around to take your pet outside for multiple walks throughout the day. I can also crate them if need be. I do have a kitty so animals need to be able to get along with a cat.

Pets

A typical day

I am a very active person so having a furry friend to take on walks with me makes is that much more fun! Most of the pets I walk love going to the river or any of the hikes near my house. It’s also always fun to take a furry friend in a stroll through the neighborhood.

Does your dog like hikes and if so does your dog need to be on leash the whole time. Do they get along with other dogs and people when they are on walks? How often do they need to be let out? Do they like children? Do they get along with cats?
