Pet care experience

Southern House/Pet Sitter

We've cared for active 9 month old Vizslas and 13 month old labs to a 15 year old Lhasa poodle mix and plott hound. The longest stint was 5 month caring for an 8 year old weimaraner with leukemia going through active chemo treatment. We genuinely enjoy the company of pups of all breeds and ages and the variety that petsitting affords. Cats, hamsters, chickens, and goats are some of our other favorites.

Fantastic!! They were SO good with our skittish dog, and were super communicative. We were coming from out of town on a family emergency, and were able to book with Erik at the last minute. We are so grateful for their five-star treatment of our pup while we spent time with loved ones.

Erika Leigh and Erik are simply the best! As first-time dog owners, leaving our very loved 2-year-old Lab, Ruger, was a huge step for us. He has never been left with a sitter or alone for more than a few hours. He’s truly our family sidekick and goes almost everywhere with us. We had an all-day family event to attend and decided it would be best to leave him with a sitter for the day. Since it was a last-minute need, we were so grateful to find Erika Leigh and Erik on Rover. They were incredibly accommodating and graciously welcomed us to bring Ruger over beforehand so he could meet them, explore their home, and so they could answer all of our questions. From the beginning, their communication was outstanding. They responded quickly before our booking and kept us updated throughout the day with messages and photos of Ruger having a great time. Those updates gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy our family event without worrying about him. It was clear that Ruger was well cared for and treated like one of their own. We couldn’t have asked for a better first sitter experience and would not hesitate to book with Erika Leigh and Erik again. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitters!

We had a health scare with one of our dogs right before we left but we felt confident with leaving her with Eric and Erika. They are amazing dogs sitters and can’t wait to use them in the future!

Erika & Erik were excellent sitters. They took great care of our pit mix, were very attentive to his needs, and their home was a lovely environment for him with a fenced in yard. Sent picture updates everyday!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a house with a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood and love to be outside with our furry friends. We enjoy playing with their favorite toys as you bring them. We know several of our neighbor's dogs who love play dates. We can go to your home to care for your animals for walks, potty breaks, or companionship. Mail collection and house plant care are also services we can provide. Pictures and updates are an important part of our care for you as well!

A typical day

We love to go for walks. It's good for all of us. Playing fetch or tug-of-war is always fun too! We'd love to hear your pet's favorite activity too.
