Responsible Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover with a knowledge of training and discipline, knack for understanding animals, plus I love giving them affection. I take pride in my ability to care for dogs and I have years of sitting and walking experience. I am based out of the Castro in SF but can go all over the city. I can walk, run, and follow instructions thoroughly. I truly care about the experience, both of the dog and the owner. When I get walking/sitting gigs, I put my heart and all my energy into them. I want the dogs to have the best experience they can with me. I'm also very nurturing and care a lot about their happiness and safety. I would love to take pups to the park or the beach and give them a real adventure if you'd like. I also am able to sit dogs and I take respecting the homes of owners seriously. I love dogs so much; I figured this would be a great way to spend time with them and improve my training skills. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have! I love cats too, so please come to me with your cat sitting needs! Covid notes: I take Covid-19 precautions very seriously. Please ask me any questions you may have about my Covid safety. I am also fully vaccinated.

Erika was great with my cat, easy to communicate with, and followed the extra instructions I left. I will definitely be working with her in the future.

Erika took great care of our pooch, and was incredibly responsive and sweet, even after realizing I had sent her to the wrong address (our old address was still in the app). Highly recommend.

Erika was an absolute blessing. She stayed at our house and cared for our Shih Tzu for two weeks. She is trustworthy, detail oriented and I felt very comfortable having her in my home. She went out of her way to take our pup to appointments, sent daily photos and shared cute stories. She was always accessible and helpful and went the extra mile when our travel plans had to be changed at the last minute.

Erika is a very caring and considerate host for my two Bichons. Would always book her again.

A typical day

I love to play with the animals, so there will be a lot of play involved! I love going to parks and taking them with me. I like continuing practice of training techniques so I always inquire about what the dog currently knows and what the owner is looking to teach.
