The Mary Poppins of Dogs

Pet care experience

I have had the pleasure of taking care of 9 dogs in my life, 5 of them lived with me (at different times) I have had German Shepherds, Yorkies, Havanese, PitBull/Boxer, and Maltese. I have also taken care of Labradors, Jack Russel Terriers, Pugs, and Chihuahuas. I am not scared of dogs, and I am also a teacher so I have a lot of patience. I don't get frustrated when they make mistakes (people make them too) but I am willing to work with them to correct their behavior. I am available on weekends, evenings during the week during the school year but I am flexible during the summer and other times I am on break. I am a mom to two wonderful dogs, Lola and Groot.

She was attentive to all of our pets needs and sent us photos. We would use her again.

Erika was very attentive with our babies. One of them has real bad allergies and takes medicine daily. She took care of that and made sure she walked them a few times a day. Very good with animals.

Erika did an amazing job with my dog. It was my first time using Rover and I was hesitate about the process. Erika easily worked me to get both me and my dog comfortable and ready for her drop in visits.I came home to a happy dog! I would highly recommend Erika, I will be using her again! :)

Information Erika P. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if there are any behaviors they are working on, if they are potty trained, any medications. What they are afraid of, any health issues, temperament, and any other things I should know. I do not have a breed preference.

A typical day

I enjoy going for neighborhood walks, trails, and dog parks if possible. Other fun activities are playing catch, tug-of-war, lots of cuddles and going on excursions to places such as Petsmart or Petco (only if allowed by their pet parent.)
