Information Erika M. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I tailor activities to their personality and energy level! I love going on walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, hide-and-seek with treats, and interactive games that keep dogs mentally stimulated. For cats, I enjoy playing with wand toys, laser pointers, and giving them plenty of attention if they enjoy cuddles. I also make time for enrichment activities, basic training reinforcement (if requested), and lots of belly rubs, pets, and affection. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, entertained, and safe while you’re away.

Pets

Compassionate animal lover!

Pet care experience

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.
