Availability

I currently work part-time, so I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. On the days I’m home, I make sure dogs go for a walk in the morning and another in the evening, and if time allows, a shorter walk around midday as well. I feed pets according to the owner’s instructions and usually at the same time as my own meals, keeping their routine consistent. If I need to go out, I always take dogs for a walk before leaving and again as soon as I’m back. For cats, I clean the litter box in the morning after breakfast and again before bedtime. Once they feel comfortable, I enjoy spending quiet time with them—petting them while I watch TV and playing with them if they’re in the mood.

I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 16. I love to spend time with them. Animals always teach me how to sincerely love and support to others

I had a fantastic experience with Erika. She was incredibly flexible, very communicative, and took amazing care of Ziggy while I was away. When unexpected travel issues came up, she didn’t hesitate to keep him an extra day, which gave me huge peace of mind. Highly recommend her.

Erika and her husband were amazing with my cat Cassia! Super warm and proactive in trying to make the transition to and from their place easy for both me and Cassia. They sent regular updates including photos and videos so I was reassured she was doing well while I was away. Would definitely book again with Erika in the future. Thanks so much Erika!

Erika & her husband took my fur daughter in and treated her as if one of their own family. Their loving care was outstanding & gave me peace of mind while on an extended trip. They were very patient with Lily and were so nice to me and so accommodating!! I definitely will bring Lily to Erika and her family anytime I need her watched again …They were just wonderful..and went above and beyond to take care of Lily and be kind and friendly to me...
