I am a veterinary student and have class Monday-Friday 8 am-5 pm most weeks! I want to make all pet owners aware of this before booking! That being said, I have an hour long lunch and will be able to drop in and hang out if you live near NC State area and let your pups out during that time and after school as well, if you’re worried about that being too long!😊

I have dogs at home! We feed them all separately in their crates and they are spoiled rotten! They get treats and all of the lovings in the world and we have a fenced in back yard to let them roam and play as they please :)

Information Erika P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog receives any medication daily and how it is to be administered! I will also need to know their usual feeding times and how many times a day they are fed! Any special suggestions are also accepted in advance!

A typical day

I would love to take your doggies to any nearby parks and walk them around and let them release some energy! I also love playing fetch with doggies :) If you have kitties, I will play with them as well with little kitty toys and give them all of the cuddles!

Caring Veterinary Student

Pet care experience

I am such a lover of animals and have had so many amazing pets, including dogs, cats, horses, pigs, chickens, goats, etc! I am reliable and hardworking and will take great care of your fur babies and give them all the loving they deserve! I previously worked as a Kennel Attendant at a Veterinary hospital for three years, then worked as a Veterinary Assistant for 2 years and will now be starting Veterinary school!! I will keep your pets in the best care! Feel free to message me with any questions! Depending on your preferences, I will take your pets for walks, spend extra time playing with them, and give them plenty of time to release any built up energy and have fun! If you have a fenced in back yard, I can let them out as frequently as you please!

Erika is an absolute dream of a pet sitter! She was so warm, patient, and caring with our animals. She kept in touch regularly, sent us plenty of adorable photos, and made us feel completely at ease — which is no small feat for anxious pet parents! We will 100% be booking her again and can’t recommend her highly enough.

Erika was great with our two dogs!! One of them got sick and she was amazing handling it and keeping us informed. She even went the extra mile and cleaned out one of their ears. We would book her over and over again with no hesitation!!

Erika was awesome! She took such great care of our dog and kept us updated and our minds at ease while we were out of town. Our dog is emotional when it comes to eating often skipping meals when we leave but she ate every single one while with Erika so she clearly felt very comfortable. I would fully recommend Erika to anyone who needs pet sitting.

Erika was incredible with our dog Jake! She sent us pictures and kept us updated while we were gone. She even took the trash out and washed the towel she used before she left. Jake requires medication and she was comfortable giving it to him and keeping an eye out for any seizure activity. We felt very confident leaving Jake with Erika and we will definitely be booking her again in the future!
