Huge Dog Lover (Cats too!)
Pet care experience
I have owned dogs and cats since 2004. I speak to them and treat them with compassion and the gentle care you would give to a child. I have dog and cat sat for clients, friends and family in the past both in their home and my own. I have given medication both in pill and liquid form when needed due to illness. I have experience with potty training and providing extra care to both puppies and kittens. I have experience caring for small to extra large breeds. I promise to take good care of your beloved pet or pets while they are with me and make sure they have a good time. We can play in your yard or go for a walk and I can make sure they have fresh water and food in their bowls. I am available weekdays and/or weekends and often on holidays as well. I do my best to fit in last minute bookings and have a flexible schedule because I do this as a full-time job. I have many repeat clients and excellent reviews :). I also have experience pet sitting for hamsters, birds, fish, and chickens.
Reviews
Erika was wonderful as always. I 100% trust her with our pups. We feel so much better that we’r leaving them in good hands when we’re out of town.
Erika does a phenomenal job with our dog and cat!
Erika is the best! We never worry when we need to go out of town because she takes the best care of our cat kids!
Erika is so great with our dog and cat! I am always confident they are in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment
I allow dogs backyard access to run and wander and play. If they have no backyard we take walks around the neighborhood. Cat clients enjoy playtime and attention. Both are welcome to sleep in the bed with me during overnights.
Information Erika R. would like to know about your pet
If any medications are required. How the dog is with strangers. Does the dog suffer anxiety attacks? Anything the dog can not eat. Do you use a shock collar to control behavior? Is the dog up to date on vaccines like parvo and rabies? Is the dog house trained?
A typical day
A typical overnight starts with my arrival and greeting the pet or pets, giving them outside time (dogs) to pee and poop then giving dinner. For cats, I give them dinner then scoop out litter boxes then we play with various toys. Both get lots of rubs however cats may be more stand-offish at first while getting to know me.
