Safety, trust & environment

During the day the dogs get as much play time as they prefer and the weather will allow. I wake up early and the first thing I do is take all the dogs out to walk. Then we return to have breakfast and depends on the routine on each dog. I walk dogs usually 4 times a day, 3 long walks and 1 really energetic in the park near to my apartment.

Information Erika M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog need something special that I have to pay attention with, I would love be a very good sitter for them

A typical day

We take a lot of walks and scooter rides. A lot of the dogs I watch are pretty energetic and need a good outlet, so the scooter is great for me. I can take three out at once in my scooter dogs are tied on my waist. It lets me go their speed as far as they are comfortable going. I've also taken guest dogs to the river that is perfect for dogs, small and with other dogs to socialize.

Pet care experience

Stay cool while I take care of your pet, I work with pets full time so I am home a majority of the day tending to dogs and their specific needs. I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, trained or not, etc. I have a dog park near to me if that is a part of your dogs routine and grooming supplies on hand if you'd like your dog to be clean and smelling fresh the day they're due to go home. I never stop learning about dogs so you can rest assured knowing you have one of the best looking after your pets.

It was a smooth rover stay, we met for a meet and greet, Erika was very responsive and kept me updated and sent photos, I felt that my dog was in good hands! I had to extend the stay due to weather issues and Erika was very gracious and flexible. Thank you Erika!

Erika was an exceptional sitter! She took amazing care of Nino while I was out of town providing updates with pictures. She was very helpful and easy when it came to booking with her. Will definitely book her again!

Erika and Hugo been the greatest dog sitter for Papi (my pitbull), treats him like her own and kept me always updated; her dogs (Shazam & Mezcal) are also extremely friendly, playful and get along amazing. My boy always seems happy and almost too comfortable lol. Would definitely recommend and book with her again in the future.

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.
