Information Erika P. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know your pet’s personality, daily habits, medical needs, and any special instructions beforehand. This includes feeding times, favorite toys, exercise preferences, any medical issues, allergies, or unique behaviors. Knowing these details helps me create a safe, happy, and comfortable environment for them while I’m taking care of them.

A typical day

I always tailor activities to each pet’s personality so they have a fun and safe experience. This includes walks in nearby parks and trails, interactive play with toys or puzzles, and plenty of cuddles.

Pet care experience

I’m not just a sitter. I’m a dog lover who treats every pup like family. I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life. From puppyhood to senior pups, I have a lot of experience tailoring my care according to each dog’s personality, needs, and comfort zone.Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or couch snuggles, I focus on creating routines that keep dogs engaged, healthy, and stress free. Over the years, I’ve gained experience helping dogs with separation anxiety, minor reactivity, and special medical needs (limited to administering oral and injectable medications). Open communication with pet parents is a priority for me. I provide frequent updates, including photos and videos, so you can see how your dog is doing. In order to dedicate myself completely to your pet’s care, play, and comfort, I only accept one dog at a time. However, for everyone’s comfort, I request that visiting pups get along with other dogs since my own dog, Bentley, will be part of their visit.

As always Erika is the best with Poppy. Poppy is still learning but Erika is always understanding and helping her learn how to socialize with the world.

Erika is best with our puppy. She gives her a lot of attention and care. She updates frequently so it's easy to know how the days been going. I really appreciate the extra tips and tricks she shares during dropoff and pickup to keep helping our pup learn and train.

Erika went above and beyond to take care of our high-energy puppy. She would send regular updates and photos throughout the day. Our puppy was super excited to go to Erika’s and loved playing with Bentley. Would definitely rebook with her. Thanks a lot!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
