Pet care experience
My name is Erika, I live in a house with a big backyard and work part time as a florist. When I’m not at the flower shop or hanging out with my chickens or my cat, you can bet I’m taking care of pets in the south Austin area. Aside from Rover I regularly dog sit my sisters’ dogs (what can I say? ...I’ve been surrounded by animal-people my whole life) I’ve also been around animals my whole life. From dogs, cats, to raccoons, mice, tortoises etc (the list goes on). This means I do not discriminate— Furry, scales, feathery is all a ok 👌 with me. Contact me for more info. I can watch your pets in the comfort of their own space— which means I prefer sitting in your house— most pets just do better that way in my experience. Let’s meet and see if this is a good fit so your furry pals don’t have to be alone while you are out. If you have any questions feel free to reach out and ask away! Hope to meet you soon. I have experience working with puppies— including dog training, and I also have experience working with older dogs who need very particular care. I accept all types of dogs— including some of the crankier ones who have a hard time with new humans— as long as introductions are done correctly and everyone feels safe.
Reviews
Erika was absolutely excellent in house-sitting for my (admittedly high energy) cat Askeladd! She was incredibly professional and an excellent communicator - setting up the meet-and-greet was incredibly easy, and I received frequent updates / photos while I was away. It was a wonderful experience!
Erika is the best...I will definitely be a repeat customer. She took extra special care with miss Cleo.
Erika was super sweet, attentive and took great care of our doggies. Although one of them has become grumpy, Erika managed to get him to like her and earned his trust. I def recommend getting Erika to take care of your furry babies. ?. Beyond grateful for Erika’s help!
Erika stayed at my home to care for my dog/pets, so I could travel to spend time with my family in Father’s Day. She kept in constant communication and sent lots of pics. I felt at ease knowing my fur babies were in good hands!
