Pet care experience

Caring for your pets like family

I’ve loved and cared for animals for most of my life, and I truly believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, cats, senior pets, and animals who may need a little extra patience or attention. One of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had was caring for my dog Benji after he became paralyzed from the waist down. I helped with his daily care, cleaned up after him, and even made him a little makeshift wheelchair so he could still get outside, visit the park, and enjoy the things he loved. Caring for him taught me so much about patience, compassion, and adapting to what an animal needs in order to live a happy life. I’ve also cared for my cat Luna since she was a kitten, so I understand how much trust, routine, and affection matter throughout every stage of a pet’s life. From playful kitten energy to the comfort and consistency older pets may need, I know how important it is to pay attention to each animal’s personality and individual needs. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, extra reassurance, or simply someone dependable to keep their routine consistent, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is for you to feel at ease knowing your pet is with someone who genuinely cares about their happiness and well-being.

Safety, trust & environment

I always follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions provided by their family. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, a clean and comfortable environment, plenty of attention, and safe walks or playtime when needed. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes, keep doors and gates secure, and pay close attention to any changes in a pet’s behavior or needs. My goal is to make both pets and their families feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

Erika is the most passionate animal lover I have ever met in my life. Whenever she comes over, my dog waits patiently for her to get out of her car before enthusiastically jumping all over her for hours! And whenever Erika leaves he goes to wait by the door for her to come back. Erika has pets all her life and is always eager to meet to new animal friends and even makes friends with all the stray cats in her neighborhood and in mine.
