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!
