Availability
Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my day around feeding schedules, check-ins, playtime, and litter box care to make sure pets receive consistent, high-quality care. On weekends, I’m fully available and able to provide extra time, attention, and flexibility. I prioritize maintaining each cat’s normal routine to minimize stress, and I’m always happy to accommodate specific timing requests when possible.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide attentive, in-home care that prioritizes your pet’s comfort, routine, and safety. In my clients’ homes, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, and any special needs or medications. I always move at the pet’s pace, especially with shy or anxious cats, and never force interaction. I keep the home clean and secure, make sure pets have fresh food and water, and spend quality time providing companionship, enrichment, and affection based on each pet’s preferences. I’m observant of behavior changes and will communicate promptly if anything seems off.

Information Erika P. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for a pet, I like to learn about their daily routine, feeding schedule, litter box preferences, and any medical needs or medications. I also ask about personality, temperament, favorite toys, comfort items, and any behaviors or triggers I should be aware of—especially for shy or anxious cats. It’s helpful to know how your cat typically responds to new people, what they enjoy most (play, affection, or quiet companionship), and any changes to watch for. I also appreciate knowing emergency contact information and your preferred vet, just in case. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can keep your pet comfortable, safe, and stress-free.
A typical day
Activities are always tailored to the animal! This may include interactive play, enrichment toys, window watching, brushing, or simply quiet companionship. I follow each animal’s cues and focus on keeping them happy, engaged, and comfortable

Loving Care When You’re Not There
Pet care experience
Hello! I’d love to learn more about your pet care needs. I’m truly passionate about animals and understand firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pets while you’re away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind knowing they’re safe, loved, and well cared for. I grew up around many different animals, including dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, and even a turtle! Currently, I share my home with the sweetest 5-year-old cat. I have experience caring for pets with temperament challenges, special needs, medical conditions, and those who simply need a little extra patience and love. I completely understand that every pet is unique, and no request is ever “too much.” I’m happy to follow detailed routines and provide personalized care.

Reviews
Erika was fantastic at providing the best care for Murphy. Would 100% recommend her!!
Erika has watched my dogs over the past few years. They love her and are so happy to see her when she arrives. Erika is great with taking them for walks and playing with them. She has watched them a few times over the weekend and has always been responsible and receptive to their moods and needs. She would make a great doggie babysitter!! ?
