Information Erika Q. would like to know about your pet

As an animal lover, I believe that every pet has unique needs and preferences. That's why I always take the time to get to know each animal under my care and learn about their specific characteristics, behaviors, and any medical conditions they may have. This helps me to provide them with the best possible care and attention while they are in my care. In addition, if I am caring for your pet in my home, it is essential that they get along well with children. As a stay-at-home parent, my toddlers will also be present in the house, so I want to make sure that your pet is comfortable and feels safe around young children.

A typical day

I live just one block away from a fantastic park that is perfect for walks and playtime. Additionally, I have a great fenced backyard where your pets can run around and play safely.

Lifetime animal lover

Pet care experience

As a lifelong animal lover, I have developed a deep passion for caring for furry companions. From my early experiences with dogs in my family to my love for cats and rabbits, I have always strived to provide the best possible care for animals. My husband Gabriel is also an animal lover. He's the official ball thrower and cuddle-giver during nights and weekends, helping me take care of the little animals with joy.

Erika is a wonderful sitter and has taken care of both my dog (Jackie) and cat (Mikey) with a lot of love. Our cat needs medication twice a day and she could help us with that when we boarded him in her place. We appreciated the photos and news over our time away. We are very grateful and think of her everytime we need help with our pets.

Erika took great care of my cat. Her home provided everything that my cat needed. My cat loves to be around people and since she takes care of her young children full-time at home, my cat was very happy. Erika sent a few pictures and messages while takin care of my cat, which made me feel re-assured. When I picked-up my cat, I could tell that my cat was at ease and had been well taken care of. Thank you Erika!

Erika and her family were great with dakota! Dakota is a difficult dog sometimes and they were able to accommodate and gave him what he needed.

Erika was excellent with our dog Farley. Lots of communication and handled some unusual challenging behaviour he exhibited on his first night. Would recommend.
