Pet care experience

Compassionate animal lover!

I've always been surrounded by pets of all shapes and sizes, which has given me a deep understanding and appreciation for animals. I have helped On-Command training, to train my Poodle and a few others. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. A lifelong dream of mine has been to be a Veterinarian. Working with animals isn't just something I enjoy-it's my passion.

We contacted Erika on very short notice looking for a sitter for our two dogs. She was quick to reply, helpful in navigating the process, and communicative throughout, We got daily photos of our dogs, and when one had an accident due to the separation anxiety she was proactive in telling us, cleaned it up, and followed up to make sure everything was resolved. We appreciated her availability, communication, and follow-up. Our dogs were happy to see us when we returned, but also happy to see her when she dropped off the key.

Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know as much as possible to make sure they have a safe, happy, and stress-free experience. Please let me know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, favorite activities, fears or anxieties, and any behavioral quirks. I’d also like to know how they interact with other people, children, and animals, whether they’re crate-trained or have any house rules, and what commands they’re familiar with. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide personalized care and keep your pet comfortable while you’re away.
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.
