Hi! I’m Erika. I have lived in the Cedar Mill/Beaverton area my entire life — except for college… GO DUCKS! I truly believe pets thrive on love, attention, and companionship. They deserve to feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away, and when you need someone to provide that kind of care, I’m your person. As I look ahead toward the next chapter of my life, I’m excited to spend more time doing what I love most: caring for animals, being outdoors, and staying active through walking and running. First step is a meet & greet, so we can discuss their routine, walks, feeding schedule, medications, home entry instructions, procedures/protocols, and the best way to care for them, etc... It also helps ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe before services begin. I’m responsible, caring, respectful, dependable, and a strong communicator. During my visits or walks, I’ll communicate by sending texts and photos. I also have experience caring for senior pets and understand the extra patience, gentleness, and consistency they need. Additionally, I’m comfortable administering dog eye drops, including maintaining strict medication schedules when needed. Need help getting your pet to a grooming appointment or a routine vet visit? I’m happy to assist with that too! I’m also happy to assist with brushing and light grooming needs. I don't take dogs over 100lbs, aggressive dogs, or dogs that do not have basic training. I work mainly with dogs, but can feed cats if needed.
