Here to fit your dogs needs!

Pet care experience

I've been owning dogs since I was a small child, from Lhasa Apsos to English Mastiffs. I'm not only used to, but love having pets around. I've seen uncared for dogs on my travels throughout the world, and it has inspired me to create a place where I can help animals make sure they get the attention and care they need! Here to help your pets feel comfortable and appreciated in any way I can.

Amazing pup sitters and people! Erika and Jack watched Luke, my almost 100lb german shepherd, for a night while I was away for a wedding. It always makes me a bit nervous leaving my two year old still high energy puppy with someone for the first time but they put me at ease from the very beginning. Jack grew up with large dogs and both him and Erika were right at home with Luke. They knew just how to handle my excitable little guy and gave him plenty of room to roam in their amazingly oversized backyard. It is seriously as spacious as a dog park. Luke doesn't always eat when I'm away but Jack and Charlie made him so comfortable he chowed down with no problems. He came home and slept for a day straight, tuckered out from his fun filled stay. And even got to make an appearance on Erika's instagram. He might have even been sad to leave Erika and Jack's place and will definitely be going back to them any time I'm away. Thanks for taking such great care of my little monster - Mollie and Luke

Erika has been around pets all her life. Dogs, rabbits, lizards, hamsters and pigeons for instance. She took care of our Shih Tzu for many years. She is responsible, caring and an all around great person whom you can rely on.

Information Erika M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if the dog has any health concerns, their level of physical activity, and what their daily schedule is usually like. This way I can make sure I provide for the dog on a basic health level, as well as an emotional level (not taking them too outside of what they are used to, since it is a new environment for them). I would also like to know if the dogs have any stressors/triggers. Lastly, I want to know what their favorite treats/toys are so I can best help them stay happy when under my care! I do not have any breed preferences.

A typical day

We will go on walks through a lot of Tucson parks-- there are several within walking distance! I live really close to campus and can bring dogs around those areas, including areas of the campus that are more closed off. One of my favorite parks is Reid Park, because of the lush grass and large supply of water. I can also bring them on hikes up Mount Lemmon if we wanted to designate a day trip! I can also do training games that exercise the dogs body & creativity. I absolutely love helping a dog figure out a trick, so would be able to help whatever with whatever the dog owner may want to learn!
