Erika is the absolute best. She is so good with Skye and I know that he is in good hands when left with her.

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear that Erika genuinely loves animals and takes the responsibility seriously. She treated Bowie like a member of her own family, making sure that he was not only well cared for but also happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. Communication was outstanding throughout our trip. We received regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us complete peace of mind. It was obvious that Bowie was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can trust completely with Bowie. Her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail exceeded every expectation. We wholeheartedly recommend Erika to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and exceptional dog sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again, and we know Bowie can’t wait for the next visit!

Erika was the best. I am so happy I found her. i have been looking for a new dog sitter close to where I live to make it easier. Max seemed to fit right in and did well. He looked happy and content. There were a few other dogs there, but they seem to all have gotten along quite well. Very pleased and highly recommend her. I will be using Erika again in the near future.

Erika is absolutely amazing with our dog, Gotham! She is incredibly responsive, reliable, and truly caring. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing Gotham is in such loving and attentive hands. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and it shows in everything she does. We feel so lucky to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!
