Go Fetch! Snuggles, play, and food
Pet care experience
*Not just limited to dogs!* I can care for cats, fancy rats, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and even water your plants while you're away. I've been a pet owner my entire life (cats and dogs and hamsters and more - oh my!) and have loved each and every little furry pal from adoption for life. From Huskies to Yorkies and everything in between; different dogs have different needs and I can provide them. I currently own three dogs myself (one senior gentleman, and two energetic girls) and they're my whole world. I would love to meet your furry family and help out where needed. Play time? Ready for action! Snuggle time? Cuddle blankets ready! Food time? *crunch crunch crunch* Walk time? Leash in hand! Life gets busy and though we would all rather be home with our dogs, we can't be -- so let me help take care of your furry friend while you're away for work or play. ***IMPORTANT NOTE!*** • All new clients must book appointments at least 48 hours in advance with a meet & greet at your home. • Returning clients, please book services at least 24 hours in advance.
Reviews
Erika is very accommodating. Everything was super easy and she didn't seem to have any restrictions. She loves animals of all kinds and treated my pets like her own. She made sure my package was not left on porch and updated me throughout the overnight house and pet sitting. She is very friendly and I recommend her 100%. If you are looking for a flexible, reliable, and loving pet sitter, Erika is perfect for you. Her prices are very reasonable and she could easily charge more for what she does. You can't go wrong with this sitter!
Erika is amazing with my 3 dogs. She is caring and empathetic towards them and they are always so excited to see her (and her treats). Not only are my dogs happy to see Erika but she seems genuinely happy to see my pups. Erika is a thoughtful, passionate person who loves all animals and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a caregiver for a pet.
Erika has a huge heart for animals. My dog gets so excited when he sees her, and it takes him while to warm up to strangers. If you want someone who is conscientious and extremely sensitive to the needs of your pet, Erika is your person!

Information Erika S. would like to know about your pet
There's no such thing as too much information. Just like dropping a human child off at a day care or leaving them with a babysitter, it's good to let the caregiver know as much as possible; being prepared for anything! Attitude and temperament: Is your dog friendly or skittish? Aggressive around other dogs or maybe "too friendly"? Medical needs and history: Neutered/spayed? Any known health issues? Last vet visit and up-to-date on shots? Food: Special diet? Food aggression? Snacks? Potty time: Well trained or does your dog have accidents? Any special cues? I don't really have any preferences on breeds because I tend to love them all.
A typical day
There are a lot of great local parks for walks! If you'd prefer we stay closer to home and just play in the backyard, I love a good game of fetch or chase. If you have a senior dog, sometimes just sitting in a sunbeam and enjoying the sounds of nature are the best!
