Dog mom ready to walk your fur baby
Pet care experience
Living near the Kingstowne area in Alexandria. I have a sweet and active 6 year old black lab mix who keeps me on my toes. I have prior experience with walking a few of my clients dogs and pet sitting. I enjoy spending time, playing and cuddling with dogs! Your pup will definitely be in loving and kind hands.
Reviews
Erika not only takes my dog for walks, sometimes she takes her to the dog park! Erika always leaves a detailed report and multiple photos. Pippa loves her time with Erika!
Erika has been great! She provides detailed info and lots of pics!
Our active girl loves Erika! Pup is more manageable on walks, pulling a lot less, and more calm when we're home since Erika puts her through her paces mid-day. Erika is even giving her a head start on obedience training. Great communication too!
Erika is exceptionally kind, patient and loving! You can see in her demeanor that she truly cares for dogs and is always willing to go above and beyond for her furry friends. I often see her walking her dog Piper, taking her to the dog park to play fetch or play with other dogs. She will do a great job of making sure your pet is cared for and happy!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I’d start off by setting up a meeting or video call with the client to ensure we are the right fit for each other. I ultimately want to make sure you are comfortable with me and entrusting me with your fur baby. In the clients home, I would follow the exact instructions given to me on how they want me to care for their dog.
Home
Information Erika S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there are any behaviors I need to watch out for or be mindful of. Do they have any triggers like squirrels? Birds? Any allergies I should be aware of?
A typical day
I have a dog park in my apartment community and would be happy to let them release some energy there and run around. It’s really spacious! Or I’d be happy to take your dog on a walk around the neighborhood. If you want me to unwind with them at home, I can also do that. I love just sitting down with them and playing around or cuddling if they like it.

I’m available for weekend walks for morning, mid-day or night walks and later in the evening walks around 6-7pm for weekdays. I am currently working a hybrid schedule so might be more flexible depending on the day.
