Pet care experience

I absolutely love dogs! I had a maltese growing up and I’ve taken care of many dogs on Rover. I wish I had a pup of my own but until then, I love and care for your dogs like they were my own. :)

Erika was great with Tiffany. I would definately have her take care of my baby again.

Fantastic experience with this sitter. Professional, accountable and kind. Followed all instructions and provided timely updates. Our pup had a wonderful time with her. Highly recommend!

In taking care of Caramelo, Erika did a fantastic job! I thought my baby isn't an easy dog outside home, I thought he'd get nervous and stressed being away from his family for the first time. However, when I came back, I found Caramelo cheerful and active, like I had never been gone,  meaning he spent good time with the sitter. I appreciate her sending pictures of Caramelo everyday while I was away.  If needed, I will unquestionably rebook

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a clean apartment in Queens, NY. I have no other pets, so the entire apartment is free for your pup to roam around in! My building has a small, outdoor/recreational area for sunshine during the day. There's also a local park down the block where I'll be taking your dog out for potty breaks.

Home

Lives in an apartment
Has an unfenced yard
Non-smoking household

Information Erika R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should attend to. I want to make sure your dog has just as top-tier care in my home as they have in yours.

A typical day

Before I went to medical school, I was a certified personal trainer. That means I LOVE physical activity. Not only will your dog be treated to lots of local outdoor play, but I'm looking for any excuse to take a study break with some scenic hikes at Cold Spring Harbor park or the Forest Hills trails.
