Pets

Safety, trust & environment

With years of experience in dog-sitting and cat-sitting, I understand the importance of creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I follow a consistent routine, ensuring pets feel secure and comfortable, and I take precautions to maintain a safe space within your home. I'm committed to reliable communication, sharing updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. By allowing each pet to approach me at their own pace, I foster trust and a positive bond, ensuring they feel comfortable and relaxed in my presence. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities.

House Sitting • Sep 15, 2025

Erika is absolutely amazing!! We hired her for my 8 year old black lab who was staying at the hotel while we got married. She sent me updates, photos and a video! It was so nice to look at once our night calmed down. She was beyond flexible with our schedule changes. Thank you Erika so much for taking care of our special boy!

Erika has been an amazing pet sitter for my labradoodle and my calico cat, Luna. She’s incredibly reliable, caring, and goes above and beyond to make sure both pets feel comfortable and loved while I’m away. My labradoodle always looks happy and well-exercised, and Luna seems content and relaxed. Erika’s attention to detail and her genuine love for animals give me complete peace of mind every time. I highly recommend her and give her a well-deserved five-star review!

Erika is the best dog sitter I have ever had! Our dogs LOVE Erika and are always so excited when she comes to see them. She sends me pictures of them all the time and makes being away so much easier.

Before sitting a pet, I like to know about any health needs, behavioral traits, socialization preferences, exercise routine, feeding schedule, bathroom habits, and emergency contacts. Additionally, learning about their favorite toys or activities helps me keep them happy and comfortable during our time together.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
