Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for every pet in my care. My apartment is pet-friendly, and I have a friendly cat that is comfortable around dogs, but I can always keep pets separated if needed. I will follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. When caring for pets in your home, I will always be respectful of your space by keeping it clean, following your house rules, locking doors and windows, and treating your home with the same care I would my own. I'm willing to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the love and attention they deserve.

Information Erika N. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there is any special attention or needs that I should be aware of when watching your pet. I have no problems accommodating and sticking to their routines to keep them comfortable in my care!

A typical day

I love to walk my neighborhood with the pet friends I meet! Some of my favorite spots to go are Wallace and The Fields park which are both very dog friendly. They offer off leash areas if they like to be social or nice grassy areas to spend some time alone if they prefer.

Erika has cared for our pets many times before! We’ve had guinea pigs in the past. They required multiple feedings a day. A long with some light cleaning of their enclosure. Erika has always been an excellent communicator. Provided updates, pictures and notified us of any notable changes in behavior when needed (elder piggies). We trust her with the care of our current dog; who loves her and gets super excited to be with her. Our frenchie is two and very high energy at times. Resulting in having to be reminded to take a breaks sometimes. We trust Erika! And see ourselves continuing to trust her with our future caregiving needs.

Erika has always had a natural gift with animals. She is kind, compassionate, patient, and deeply intuitive, especially when it comes to understanding what an animal needs to feel safe and comfortable. Animals are naturally drawn to her, and she has a special ability to connect with pets who may be shy, nervous, or hesitant around other people. She takes the time to earn their trust and treats every animal with genuine love and respect. As an animal lover myself, I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone who will care for them like family. Erika is exactly that kind of person. I would trust her completely with any pet, knowing they would be safe, loved, and well cared for.

Erika is a caring and loving person to all pets. Erika has great attention to detail. Erika is able to follow specific instructions. Erika loves pets (and all animals) and shows this by treating them with love and attention to their respective personalities. Erika likes to walk and would be an ideal fit for anyone who has a cat or dog. Erika has a cat at home named Stitch and he is lucky to have Erika as his cat-mom.
