Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pets fav auntie!
I grew up in a family that used to breed Dobermans and also loved having a multitude of somewhat exotic animals as pets. We always had a minimum of 2 dogs along with other pets like fish, frogs, ducks, chickens, hamsters, rabbits, and turtles. My passion for animals started very early. It's more than a passion actually, it's a need in my life! I was given my first turtle as a pet when I was 10 and I loved it so much that I've always had one since. I also got my first cat at that age too. That cat lived to be 22 years old, which is rare! I took the best care of him. My current turtle is an Ornate box tortoise that I got as a captive bred when she was the size of a half dollar coin. I've kept her healthy & happy for many years and she's still thriving! Besides my turtle, I also have a miniature panther (a.k.a. a black cat) who is a sweetheart, but also an energetic handful. Being highly observant of an animals needs through their behavior is definitely a skill I have developed. I feel this is important to have especially when caring for pets that I am not familiar with. I love all animals and love learning random facts about them. It is because of that, I have become quite knowledgeable on how to train or care for many different kinds. I can provide any type of service for your fur baby within your home per your instructions. I've done and seen most of it all and am not afraid to get my hands dirty.

Safety, trust & environment
If your fur baby stays with me, I would keep the same schedule and routine your pet is used to in their daily care. I make sure they are going potty normally. We would go on walks in the surrounding neighborhood that is very dog friendly with multiple pet waste stations. The majority of your pets time would be spent indoors with me all day with exception to night time. My cat usually has free reign of the house since he is indoor only. However, for the protection of both our pets I would not allow contact between the animals. The cat would stay with me in my room while your pet would have the kitchen area. For this reason, your pet would not be able to sleep with me at night. To keep your pet more at ease at night, I do leave some low lights and a radio with classical music on so they are not disturbed by outside noises. For stays in your home, I would still keep the same schedule and routine your pet is used to while remaining clean and quiet. I do my best to leave as minimal a footprint as possible.
Ratings and reviews
Erika is the best!! She’s been our go to sitter for almost 2 years. She provides excellent updates and photos for every visit, and goes above and beyond to care for our kitties.
Erika did such a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were out of town! She was very thoughtful during the meet and greet ensuring we had every safety protocol thought of ahead of time. We got reports and photos every day, she was very timely, and treated our home with care. We will certainly be back with future needs!
Erika is the best. She's easy to work with, beloved by pets, and writes detailed notes with lots of photos for each visit so I always know my pets are in good hands!
Erika is so wonderful and attentive! She makes sure that you are kept updated on everything that happens during her visits. It’s always a treat to see her pictures and her notes about how it goes. I know that my pets are in great hands with her, and I would happily ask her to watch them again. ❤️
Erika is great! She takes care of all the stuff and my cats seem like they’ve been given love when I get home. Thank you, Erika!
Erika never fails to provide amazing attention to detail and care for my babies!!

Schedule
I am available to do multiple walks or drop-ins throughout the week and weekend. If I am boarding or house sitting, I still do walks/drop-ins, however, I do limit my usual availability and don't take on new clients for that time frame so I can spend more time with the longer care pet.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsErika can host up to 8 drop-ins per day
- Let me know what special needs your dog may have so I can do my best to accommodate. No matter how odd or quirky the request is, I absolutely understand and am willing to try to replicate any behaviors you do to keep your pet happy! At minimum, I would also need to know if your pet is friendly or afraid of other humans and animals.
- These prices are for 1 dog.
Prices may vary based on your selections. A booking fee of 11% will apply.
