Erika Loves Cats and Dogs

Hi! I’m Erika, a lifelong animal lover and experienced cat owner. I cared for my two beloved cats, Valentino and Niko, for 18 wonderful years each. While I no longer have cats of my own and really miss having them around, I truly enjoy spending time with them and would love to care for yours while you’re away. My calm and patient demeanor tends to work especially well with cats, including shy cats, senior cats, and multi-cat households. I’m happy to provide drop-in visits to make sure your cat is fed, comfortable, and getting a little companionship while you’re gone. Our household currently has a 6-year-old Pomeranian, so animals are still very much a part of our daily life. I’m also available for dog walks and enjoy getting outside for a good walk with energetic pups. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and will make sure you receive updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away. Please contact me if you would like to set up a meet and greet.

Penny is a rescue and has never been left with anyone but family. Erika was a perfect match and wonderful to her. She sent us pictures daily and kept us informed with how she was doing. I highly recommend Erika to anyone and will be requesting her for future vacations. Thank you Erika!!!
