Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, life long pet lover.
I grew up surrounded by pets my entire life- mostly cats and dogs, but we also had fish, turtles, tortoises, gerbils, and even a few ferrets at one point! I know how much pets are our family and strive to provide the best care for yours. I've dog/cat sat for family and friends for years now and have become known as everyone's go-to pet sitter. I have extended out to some family friends and acquaintances as well and just really enjoy spending time with pets! My longest clients have had 4 different boxers in the 11 years I've been sitting for them. Their elderly boxer passed away earlier this year, and I was responsible for giving him medications including oral chemo for the last few years of his life. Additionally, my cat passed away a few years ago at almost 22 years old- she was on a steady medication since she was 16, as well as some other prescriptions throughout the years. Therefore I am comfortable with senior pets, giving meds, etc. Thank you for the opportunity to love on your pets when you cannot be home. I am always happy to do pre-booking meet and greets as well.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I'm very attentive and will make sure your pets are safe at home and/or on walks. I love to hang out and spend time with pets, especially since I currently don't have any of my own! I have a lot of experience with senior pets as well, and am comfortable giving medications.
Ratings and reviews
I’ve known Erika for years, and I can’t recommend her enough! She’s looked after both my cats and my dogs, and I always have complete peace of mind when they’re with her. She’s incredibly reliable, communicative, and genuinely loves animals. She treats every pet like they’re her own, and it’s obvious how much she cares. If you’re looking for somebody trustworthy who really cares, she’s the perfect choice.
I’ve known Erika for over 15 years, and if there’s one thing that’s always been true, it’s that she’s had a natural connection with animals. She has cared for countless pets over the years and has been the go-to pet sitter for our friends for well over a decade. She was an incredible cat mom to her own furry companion, and that same level of love, patience, and attentiveness carries over to every animal she cares for. Whether it’s a playful puppy or kitten, an energetic adult pet, or a senior animal that needs extra patience and specialized care, Erika is knowledgeable, competent, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I trust Erika completely with all of my own pets, and I never hesitate to recommend her to others. She is dependable, compassionate, and treats every animal as if it were her own. Any pet parent would be lucky to have her caring for their furry family member!
Erika is extremely dependable and has a real gift with animals. One of my dogs is a little shy at first and the patience and kindness she showed was amazing. I have full trust in her and know my dogs are in good hands!
Erika is our most favorite pet sitter! She and my giant standard poodle, Cricket, have formed an unbreakable bond. He always has a great time with her! I would recommend her to anyone looking!
