Safety, trust & environment

I love snuggling and playing with dogs whenever they want to. Showing them love and care is very important to me to make sure they feel loved and safe while their owners are away!

Information Erika M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your dog is special needs or has any behavior concerns to be aware of. Please let me know too if there is anything I can do to calm them or make them feel better. Feel free to provide as much information as possible even if it is small or seems silly! I love learning about dogs and their little quirks.

A typical day

Refill food and water bowls if needed. Let the dog come to me to get used to and comfortable with me. Play with the dog before and after walking. Snuggle if there is time.

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with dogs since I was little and have loved animals my whole life. I am used to watching my own and my neighbors dogs. Dogs are so special to me and every dog I meet is great in their own way. Dogs are a comfort for me, and I love making them feel safe and loved. I love meeting new dogs and getting to know them.

Erika was fantastic! First time hiring her. She was great with our pup. She was super responsive and made us feel really comfortable being away! She made pup feel comfortable too. She treated our house with respect and was very professional. Highly recommend!

Erika was GREAT!! She took excellent care of our fur baby, which included a lot of eye drops and medication. She kept us informed several times each day and sent us lots of pictures and texts. I will definitely use her services again, and recommend her to others.

Erika is a wonderful pet-sitter who takes excellent care of our 2 dogs. She is genuine and reliable and just a really great person. Our dogs were well loved and cared for while we were gone. She was very professional and reliable.

We have 2 cats and 2 dogs and they all love Erika and are excited to see her! Erika is responsible, dependable and very caring toward all of our animals. We never have to worry when she is taking care of our pets. Having someone so reliable has made it much easier for us to take trips. We are able to enjoy our breaks knowing our pets are loved and cared for.
