Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Whisperer
Since birth grew up with a family dog, German Shepherds, a Lab, and at 10 years old I was given responsibility for my own dog a Maltese, Le Petite Pookay( Pookie for short). When I went off to college my Mom stole(inside joke) adopted her and I haven’t had my own dog since but over the course of the past 20 years Ive watched plenty of friends and family dogs and pets. Some claim me to be the Dog Whisperer as even shy pups seem to gravitate towards me. This last year, while transitioning to the Charlotte. NC area I stayed with a Rover host and helped out. And now that Im in my own place, a two story townhouse, I’d love to continue to host and care for your fur babies. I really miss having a furry family member around but truly excited for the opportunity to take care of your animal loved one. I do know about providing excellent customer service, the importance of integrity and working hard with the importance of humility. Service is the heart of who I am and know the special bond our family furries hold in our lives. I can't wait and hope to care for your furry loved one soon!

Ratings and reviews
I feel so lucky to have found Erika. She's so good with my nervous dog and incredibly accommodating with me. Today we did a "warm up" run since my pup hasn't been with anyone else in a while and when I arrived, my dog was in a great mood and had plenty of energy. That's always the sign that she had a good day. It was just a short stay, but Erika took her for a nice walk, got her out to pee several times, and took plenty of pics. She's truly a rockstar pet sitter.
I had such a great experience with Erika i left my dog with her for about six days, and the entire process was so seamless from drop-off to pick-up. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She provided daily updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind, and whenever I reached out for an update, she was always responsive and happy to keep me posted. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
Bear had such a good time with Erika! The photo updates were so cute and he enjoyed his little brush down. Thank you so much for loving my little guy for the weekend!
There are so many words that can be used to express our appreciation to Erika. She’s a good person one of a kind, we’re so grateful for the warmth of HOME given to our lil Charlie. Erika took time to get to know Charlie, which was hilarious when she let us know his little personality. We are Blessed she’s apart of fur baby sitters.
Erika was great! She followed all instructions and was very accommodating for my nervous dog. Would definitely book again!
Erika was a wonderful sitter! We had planned on boarding but switched last minute. She accepted and was available for a meet and greet. We got pictures and updates daily. We would definitely book with her again!! Chloe had a great time!

Schedule
I work from home, so my availability to host is flexible and open. I also, don’t leave the house too often for long periods and will be attentive to caring for your pet.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My first floor level is open for your fur baby to free roam, but can also crate if preferred. I have a few areas with tile for easy cleaning. In addition, I have a backyard with some enclosure but have a tie down to attach to collar or harness for first and last pet relief but my subdivision has a dog walk trail for walks and extended exercise.
A typical day
I look to maintain current engagement and activity to owners preference. Love to play catch especially in the open field at the walking trail and then hang out on the couch to unwind for the evening. Please be sure to bring their favorite toy.

- Please let me know preferences and any special needs. I’ve seen dogs get curious when human food is being prepared, please provide plenty of snacks and treats because those sad puppy eyes are very hard to resist. Also, please provide a list of a few food substitutes should food provided runs short and please be sure to bring a blanket or clothing item, like a worn tee, for a familiar comfort.
