Safety, trust & environment

I have a big complex and a little gated dog run on-site. I also have a big deck I gate off during the warmer months for patrolling. I have a 6 foot lead for extra security if needed. Bowie roams around the deck and takes in the sun or says hello to fellow friends when they walk by on the mini trails.

Information Erika M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your dog has any special needs, behaviors, etc. I have a small dog and she’s fine with bigger dogs but they must be gentle and non aggressive (the same for small pups too).

A typical day

Lots of fetch, walks around the complex, the dog run to get big the zoomies out or sniff all the different smells is a typical day. I have an open floor plan so Bowie and her friends love running back and forth in a game of chase.

Let me spoil your furbaby

Pet care experience

I have a 3 year pup named Bowie and I grew up with dogs my whole life. I will love and spoil your furbaby as if they were my own. NOTE: my profile says I have 2 dogs but I only have 1. I watch my Mom’s dog a lot so I have her under my account as a customer of the services :)

She is very kind and loves my puppy. I am grateful for the great care and attention provided for my puppy. She was reliable and genuinely caring. I do recommend her.

Erika was a wonderful sitter for my mini goldendoodle. She loved him like her own cute pup and was very responsive to his needs. She sent great pictures of different activities throughout the day. I can't recommend her thoughtful and caring service enough. Me and my dog would love to use her service again!

Erika is wonderful. She has taken excellent care of my pup multiple times and gives her the love and care she gives her own dog. She is friendly, attentive, and trustworthy - and her little dog is just the sweetest. Highly recommended!

I’m thrilled to recommend Erika as a pet sitter. She has taken care of my dog on multiple occasions, and each time I’ve been impressed by her reliability, kindness, and genuine love for animals. Erika is not only trustworthy and attentive, but she also goes above and beyond to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their owners’ absence.
