Paws on Board

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. I worked at a veterinary clinic taking care of the boarders in the mornings and in the evenings until corona started. I grew up with dogs, cats, fish, and a hamster. Never once was there a time when there wasn’t an animal around. I’ve taken care of dogs in their home multiple times, most times the dogs needed special care like medication. I took those dogs for walks and sometimes car rides. I spent time playing with them and just giving them attention.

Erika was very nice and communicated well. She was very responsive when messaged. Erika was great with Coco and was always on time to her visits with Coco.

Erika was wonderful taking care of our Lance during the holiday. We would have loved to take him with us, but it is too stressful for Lance. Lance was very happy to stay with Erika as she has a pup of her own. Yay for a playmate!

Erika was great. My cats usually shy away from new people but they all came out to meet her. Will definitely use her again
