Safety is my number one priority. My home is secure. I make sure all pups are appropriately harnessed and leashed before leaving the house if we are going for a walk. Water is available at all times. Taking pictures of your pets and sharing them are one of my favorite things so there will be no shortage of updates!

Information Erika L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any separation anxiety issues and if he needs any special attention/care. If he has a favorite toy or bed, I’ll want to make sure I have those for his stay as well.

A typical day

Your pet will be frolicking in the yard with his favorite toy or basking in the sun when it’s nice out. Inside, he’ll be cozy on the couch or his bed and will enjoy treats between meals. He’ll have his pic taken often to send to you for updates. For walks, we will go to nearby parks and anywhere with nice green grass! Please let me know if your dog loves dog parks or prefers leashed walks only. We'll have talks about what a good boy he is and I'll be sure to give him lots of affection.

Top Notch Pet Care!

Pet care experience

I board 2-3 dogs at a time in a safe fenced home and calm environment. I have an extremely flexible schedule as I work from home (in the dog fashion business since 2010!). I'm reliable, trustworthy, and most importantly - I LOVE DOGS AND CATS. I also have a lifetime of experience owning both dogs and cats. I've owned large dogs such as Shepherds to small dogs. I understand each pet has its own personality and special needs for walks, health care, and anxiety when away from their owners. You can count on me to take exceptional care of your pets and love them as one of my own. Dog boarding - I live in a small home with a fully fenced back yard. Your dog will be safe with tons of space to sunbathe and lots of plants and trees to explore. And since I work from home, I’m always around and will be letting your dog outside to pee or play as much as he pleases! Inside, he’s allowed on the couch and can watch me work or snuggle with me as he so chooses. I live with my fiance who is also a huge animal lover and our toddler who is very gentle and loves animals just as much. We currently have no dogs of our own as we recently said goodbye to our beloved senior dog Jet. We can only board dogs who are both child-friendly and dog-friendly.

Erika did an amazing job! She is very conscientious and has a high standard of care and communication. Great with senior dogs. We will seek help from Erika in the future as needed!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Erika! We were pretty anxious to be away from our pups, but Erika’s care put us totally at ease. She sent updates that we looked forward to each day. We were extremely pleased to see how relaxed and comfortable Darwin and Roo were. We are looking forward to working with her again in the future. Would put more than 5 stars if possible! 😊

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
