Pet care experience

Every visit can be a adventure!

I over 5 years of experience working professionally with dogs and cats. I also have personal experience with being a dog and cat owner my entire life. I have never met a animal I didn't like! I am Pet CPR/First Aid certified and am currently going through Fear Free training. I pride myself on providing superb pet care! Your pets will love me as much as I love them! I know that every pet is built different, so I strive to build a lasting connection with each one by being patient and attentive to each ones needs. I am able to accommodate senior dogs, leash reactive dogs, fearful dogs, cats, puppies, and dogs with mobility issues. I can also accommodate rodents, fish, or other small animals.I look forward to meeting you and your furry or furless family member!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

It depends on what your expectations are. I like to follow the guidelines set but if there are no guidelines then I try to keep each visit fun for each animal. Some like a good cuddle session, others like puzzles, and some are hikers. You let me know what your pet likes!

Erika was so patient with Daisy. She isn’t easy the easiest dog to walk. . Highly recommend.

Erika is kind, attentive, and responsible. She has been a wonderful help with my dog and I would recommend her to anyone, any time.

Erika did a great job and sent me updates on my dogs walks. I would definitely recommend and ask for her help in the future.

Absolutely amazing! She loves all animals, treats them all fairly, and is the best caregiver to ALL species, including people. She has the biggest heart I have ever seen in someone, and she would be the nicest and best to anyone's pet.

Schedule

I am currently working part time, but I am able to plan my weeks ahead time! I can accommodate early am (before 8am) and pm 7 days a week (7pm-10pm) walks/drop in on most day but that varies. Some weeks I have open week days. My weekends are open. Feel free to ask me! I would be a great back up plan. Also, if you have a dog that needs a experienced walker because they won't just walk with anyone, then we can both find a time that works!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Erika can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
If there’s any special needs (a timid rescue, reactivity…etc) or your dog needs specific accommodations then just let me know! I have no issues accommodating anyone but I would like to be made aware!
