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.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am doing online classes at TMCC, so i am very available for any needs! I do have any own cats to care for, but they aren’t very high maintenance, so i can help care for your animals as much as possible!

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

FULLY AVAILABLE all other hours and days. (Mornings, evenings, weekends outside of listed times). I WOULD NOT MIND GOING TO YOUR HOUSE. I provide care in the comfort of your pet's home. OVERNIGHT STAYS: If need be, I can spend the night for consistent company.

Pets

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.

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.
