Loving animal companion sevice.

Pet care experience

I was blessed to be a vet technician for 8 years in South Florida. When I was working at the clinic, I always felt so sad for the dogs and cats that were being boarded in cages. It is traumatic enough for our fur kids to be away from us. But to be in an unfamiliar environment, and especially a cage, is even scarier for them. I have always personally used a friend or pet sitter for my own babies. So I was inspired to create my own pet sitting service which I have run for over twenty years. I am fairly new to Alpine (1.5 yrs) and am excited to meet your fur babies and connect more with this lovely community! Although I love to care for animals of any age, I specialize in caring for elderly pets. I am able to medicate, offer injections, fluids, ect. And our senior pets need and deserve the best! I also take care of your gardens, plants, and any barnyard friends you may have.

We were looking for someone who could stay at our home and take care of our 7 year old husky. After our meet and greet we thought Erika would the perfect fit for all. We left and had no worries that our dog and home was taken care of while we were gone. She did a wonderful job. Sent lots of pictures. She is quick to respond to all correspondence. We would highly recommend her to anyone and will use her again.

I understand that all families have a different approach. If your animal companion needs to sleep in a crate that ia what will happen. If he/she needs to cuddle on the bed that is purrfect too!

Information Erika L. would like to know about your pet

I am very resourced in taking care of fur babies from a young age to senior pets. Thanks to my vet technician experience, I am also comfortable supporting fur babies when they are ill and in need of medical treatment. Its important for me to know what each situation is ahead of time, but I feel prepared for anything!

A typical day

Locally in Alpine I love to take my dogs to Wright's Field to play! However I am mindful of what each fur baby parent is comfortable with. I am also open to beach adventures!
