Pet care experience
I own several animals, from dogs to cats, bunny, bird and horses. I have a love for animals like no other. I am always bringing home a rescued pet, usually dogs. You can never have enough dogs right? As for walking I try to do it “Caesar’s way”. The goal being walking calmly with a loose leash just slightly behind or next to me. I’m very good at basic obedience in all ages, so I do not mind not just walking your dog or puppy but also going over basic obedience with them. I also know how to administer medication if need be. I work for the post office on an as needed basis but occasionally I do get called in last minute. So when I’m not delivering mail, I’m ready to walk! I live on a farm. There is a nearby dog park 20 min away. I can also teach dog and owner how to use a treadmill.(treadmill provided by client) Treadmills are a good tool to use to wear off any extra energy or on days with bad weather.
Reviews
Erika is very loving when it comes to pets. She's very passionate about them. She would never hurt them. Her dogs listen to her very well. She's always been the go to person when you have a pet question or problem. She recently took my 1 year old puppy for me because she was too much for me to handle. She had my puppy for a week and she came back to me and listens much better. She also gave me tips on how to help train her.
Definitely recommend Erika , she is the only one a trust with my fur babies. She is very responsible and loves animals !!! When my fur babies love her I know she is the right pick !! Promise no regrets with this pet lover !

If your pet doesn’t walk well on a leash.. no problem! I’m very good and teaching them to be better on the leash. I have all shapes and sizes of my own so yours would be no problem.. Does your dog need a playmate? I’ve got that covered too!
Information Erika M. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences. I’ll walk all breeds, all sizes and all ages. Behavior problems? No problem but everything takes time. I need details about your dog, how well it knows basic commands and how well he/she walks on a leash and any allergies because I like to carry my own treats so if allergies are in play owner will have to provide proper treats :)
A typical day
We can play ball. Hide and seek a toy. Walk some trails. Hit the rural king. I can help your dog be a better citizen :)
