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.

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!

Erika Leigh and Erik were amazing! They agreed to take my two Great Danes last minute and I only ended up sending one but they sent several pics and she looked happy and came home relaxed.

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.
