Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard perfect for zoomies, sniffing adventures, and soaking up sunshine. In the summertime, the dogs love enjoying the pool for a refreshing splash. Your dog will have built‑in friends: - Lola & Peanut — my sweet Golden Retrievers - Enzo — my playful Shih Tzu They’re all friendly, social, and great at helping new pups settle in. For sunbathers, I have a deck with comfy accommodations to lounge and enjoy the day. For seniors or pups who need quiet time, I offer a private bedroom where they can rest peacefully away from the action.

A typical day

🐾 A Typical Day Your dog’s day with me is structured, fun, and full of companionship. 🌅 Morning Routine - Morning sniff walk to let them explore and warm up their brain - Breakfast served on a consistent schedule - Light playtime in the fenced yard with Lola, Peanut, and Enzo. 🕛 Midday Activities - Supervised yard time for zoomies, sunbathing, or lounging on the deck - Enrichment games like puzzle feeders, hide‑and‑seek, or scent work - Quiet rest time indoors — seniors or shy pups can relax in the private bedroom. Evening Fun - A second walk or backyard play session - Trick training or gentle obedience practice for mental stimulation - Dinner followed by calm bonding time — brushing, cuddles, or relaxing on the couch.

Pet care experience

A home where your dog feels like family — not a guest. At my home, your pup can run free, nap on the couch, curl up on the bed, and settle in just like they do with you. My goal is simple: your dog should feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely at home while you’re away. A meet‑and‑greet is always required so we can make sure your dog feels comfortable from the start.

We had an amazing experience with Erika, she was everything we hopped for in a sitter and more. She clearly cares deeply for animals, is an excellent communicator, and a kind person. We are so glad to have found her.
