My name is Erika, and I am an absolute animal-lover. I have lived with animals, cats and dogs, my entire life, and I have several years of experience in volunteering for different pet shelters. I care deeply for all animals and have experience in socialization and basic first aid for animals. I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your furbabies, whether it's for a few hours or a few weeks, but you can rest assured that your pets are in the best care with me. I also have experience with disabled pets; I've cared for deaf and blind animals. A bit about me, I am currently taking time off from the workforce to teach myself how to code, having just moved to Silicon Valley. I am working toward a career in web development and hope to one day start a technology-based social movement for Animal Welfare and to create a network of animal sanctuaries across the country.
