Highlights
Pet care experience
Pawprint & Purpose
Dogs aren't just pets to me-they're family. My decision to care for other people's dogs comes from a deeply personal place. I experienced the devastating loss of my sweet baby boy Theodore while he was in someone else's care. He was an amazing, playful, beautiful, fun-loving French Bulldog. That experience forever changed the way I think about trusting another person with a dog you love. I decided to turn my heartbreaking loss into purpose by becoming a caregiver for other dogs and providing the highest standard of care and safety, in Theodore's Honor. I am committed to continuing my education in canine safety, behavior, first aid, and CPR because I believe anyone entrusted with someone else's dog should take that responsibility seriously. As a Registered Nurse for humans and an animal lover and frenchie owner, observation, communication, and recognizing when something isn't right are already important parts of who I am professionally and as a dog mom. I bring that same attentiveness to all dogs in my care. As a proud French Bulldog mom, I have firsthand experience with brachycephalic breeds and recognize that some dogs require additional attention to breathing, temperature, activity level, allergies, and individual needs. When your dog is with me, they aren't simply another booking. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with another person. I'll treat your dog with patience, affection, attention, respect, and individualized care. I will make sure we have fun and maintain safety while doing so. I will always communicate with you and send pictures and updates frequently. Theodore and his love for me and others changed my life forever, and part of the way I honor him is by helping others dogs receive the attention and care they deserve. Theodore was my Earth Angel and I promise to honor him in everything I do, particularly by providing excellent care to all pups.

Ratings and reviews
Erica is very good, highly recommend. My baby like her.

I really can’t recommend Erika enough! She is so kind and loving to humans and furbabies alike, and my girls had the best time (and went straight to sleep when we got home ?). It is such a wonderful feeling to trust your sitter, so I’ll definitely be a returning customer! Thank you SO much, Erika - you’re the best!!


Erika was awesome! She was able to watch our dog on such short notice. Right from the start we felt comfortable leaving our dog with her. She even let us do a meet and greet with her dogs which assured us that our dog was in good hands. She sent us picture updates which put us at ease. Would definitely recommend her!

Erika is awesome. She ensures your pet is safe and all instruction is followed. My husky boy isn’t the easiest and she is super patient and he loves her already! Would highly recommend.

Erika was so accommodating for our frenchies and stayed in communication the entire day which really made me feel at ease. Definitely recommend booking with her!



Erika was amazing!! This was my first time using the Rover App and I was so lucky to find Erika my first try! Erika was communicative, reliable, energetic and very sweet!! When I arrived to drop off my dog, Erika greeted us with arms full of sticks and toys ready to play with my dog (I told her sticks were my dogs favorite) it was so cute!! My dog can be very nervous and anxious, but Erika was very patient and understanding. She was able to handle my dog confidently and she sent photos and updates throughout their walk to reassure me that my dog was doing well. I would absolutely recommend Erika to anyone looking for someone who truly loves dogs and will treat your pet like their own!
