Pet care experience

Safe to ruff all day long!

Hi, fellow dog parents! My name is Erika. A mother, teacher, and pet lover. Throughout my entire life, I was surrounded by dogs. I've cared for rescues, bullies, and fluffies. Caring for them means to provide the care and love they deserve. Maintaining their home routine, grooming them, meeting their medical needs and giving cuddles. Doing all these things brings comfort to your dog and gives you peace of mind. I cared for my English Bulldog Huxley for 9 and a half amazing years. He taught so much about love and being grateful in the present moment. Currently, my granddog Beanie, an American Bulldog mix rescued from the Franklin County Animal Shelter is the friendliest pup I've ever met. He's very goofy and loves to play all day. I have a large townhome and an apartment with a spacious living room to safely run and play with secured gates, a small fenced yard and dog parks in my community. I want every pup to feel like they're on vacation and safe like at my home. In my family, pups are part of the family and are treated as one of our own. My daughter Emily and I take care of the dogs ( there is always someone at home).Please contact me for any questions or concerns. I hope to meet you and your dog soon!

Erika was such a great sitter!! She sent pictures and updates on my dog Kobe; she also stated my dog ate all his food multiple days which he typically doesn't do with other sitters. Overall, I came back to a healthy, happy pup and I'll definitely be using Erika and her family again.

We got daily pictures and updates of our fur-babies while they were with Erika and I appreciated knowing and seeing how they were doing while we were gone!

Erika is always communicated with us and sending pictures of our baby! He was happy when we left him and when we picked up him as well.

Safety, trust & environment

Caring for pets at home means meeting their physical, emotional and health needs every day. Daily walks and play time. Monitoring interactions and cooling space if needed.

A typical day

My neighborhood has several dog parks, sidewalks and large open spaces where we can go and play and try to catch Beanie. Some indoor activities or games: memory toys, toys to chew and stimuli exercise and of course play with my Beanie.
