Dedicated Experienced Pet-Sitter

Pet care experience

I have diverse animal care experience! I grew up with cats and birds, have been a dedicated volunteer with Seymour CARES Animal Rescue since 2016, and have plenty of farm animal experience. I'm an ABC certified dog trainer, experienced with shelter dogs, and comfortable with exotic pets. Passionate about animal care, I can assist with tasks like nail clipping for difficult cats and dogs. I am also comfortable giving most medications and working with animals who have special needs. I am highly active and enjoy long walks. Your pets will receive attentive and knowledgeable care under my watch. My best availability is for temporary assignments lasting from one day to a few weeks.

Absolute perfection! This young person is amazing with our cats. They are our children and she follows our directions to the letter! She also leaves everything in our home as she finds it and we feel completely comfortable having Erika in our home. We have booked her a couple of times and will definitely be booking her again. She is absolutely wonderful!

Absolutely fantastic human being and cat lover. Erika went above and beyond. She did everything we asked and then some. She pays attention to detail and is very caring and reliable and punctual. We are so grateful that we found her. We will definitely be using her again.??

Safety, trust & environment

I can go for many walks in a day. I am good with a variety of animals, even birds and reptiles as I have them myself.

Information Erika S. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to learn about your dog's social behavior with people and other animals. If they enjoy walks, it'd be helpful to know their behavior during walks. Additionally, any special needs or behavior quirks they have would be valuable information for me to provide the best care.

A typical day

If your dog likes walks, we'll have fun going on long adventures together. For cats, I enjoy playing or sitting quietly, depending on their mood—whether they're playful or a bit shy. Making sure your pets have a good time is priority!
