USMC Veteran, dog walker

Pet care experience

My name is Erika and I have two very spoiled German Shepherd dogs and a sweet gray pit who is the baby of the three. We are always outside either at dog parks or nature trails. I love to play fetch and tug of war with them. I know how to brush dog teeth, clip nails, give dog baths and calm an anxious dog. I love running with dogs and giving them lots of attention! I have fostered two cats as well and love to snuggle with them. I’ve been taking care of a dog since the age of 7 and I also work with large and small animals at a petting zoo in California. I am also a Marine Corps veteran. I served 4 years and was honorable discharged.. I’m great with hyper dogs because my two German Shepherds are very hyper and active. My pit sleeps all day and just begs for food or gives you hugs. Your pet will be in the best care with me on walks and In your home. I’m good under presser and In complex or stressful situations. A am a nanny for two military kids on week days from 3-7 and am available anytime before and after.

Erika did a fantastic job watching my dogs and cat. She treated them as if they were her own! She followed all my instructions and sent me some great photos and reports that made me feel great with my choice of having her watch my kiddos. She is very responsible, honest, and a good communicator. I would definitely have her watch them again!

Erika has exceed my expectations! She was scheduled to for an overnight care for my American Bulldog. He is an older dog and has been prescribed medication, unfortunately. With that being said I was afraid to leave Kilo with anyone else due to his medical conditions! However, Erika did a great job updating myself with a quick text every time she administered his medication. I loved how Erika instantly connected with Kilo and how well instructions were followed!

Erika is one special person who loves animals. Her children are Hazel a German Shepard and Kona a Husky/Shepard mix and has had them since they were both babies. She puts her animals first over anything. They are her babies and she lives and breaths them. She ensures they are well taken care of and ensures they have their shots and are taken to the Dr even if they have a cold. She herself has used Dog Walkers while she worked and understands the full responsibility of how much work it takes to own an animal. She has experience and her current adventure is to become a veterinarian. She has always loved animals since she was little and would never walk away from one hurt or in need. If there was a stray animal she would bring it home and nurse it and find a home for it. She spent 4 years in the Marines and is a leader among her peers. She has taken care of a loving Pit Bull which is a lap dog. She takes her dogs on hikes and to the dog park on a consistent daily basis. You would not go wrong with having her watch your precious animal for you. They would be in great hands.

I love playing fetch and tug of war with dogs or just give them lots of belly scratches. We can also have mini training lessons like sit , stay , lay and shake. I love to go walking with my pups and I would love to take your dog on a nice walk as well.
