About Erika R.
Communication
Skills
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.
Information Erika R. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
A typical day with a pet in my care involves making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I take them outside for a 30-minute walk two to three times a day, or even more if needed, to make sure they're happy and active. If the weather isn’t suitable for outdoor walks, we’ll head to a nearby pet store to allow them to explore and get some exercise indoors. This way, I can ensure they’re entertained and well cared for, regardless of the weather.

Reviews

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 hands-down the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! She is incredibly attentive, reliable, and treats our dog like her own. From daily updates to little treats and extra playtime, Erika goes above and beyond to make sure our pups feel comfortable and loved while we’re away. We always come home to a happy, relaxed dogs, and it’s clear they adore her. Highly recommend Erika for anyone looking for a caring, responsible sitter who truly loves what she does!
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.
