Lifelong dog owner + animal lover!

Pet care experience

I've personally had three amazing dogs throughout my lifetime, but now that I've moved out I am really missing having a dog around so I would LOVE to care for your pets! I am able to provide any care your dog may need, from feeding to walks to playtime to just keeping them company, as well as any special requests you may have. I've cared for dogs my whole life and have extensive experience with all kinds of breeds, ages, and sizes through dog sitting for neighbors/friends. I am such a huge dog person, so it's one of my favorite things to spend time around animals, and you can trust that your dog is in amazing hands with me! I know how important our pets are to us and how difficult it is to be away from them, so I will frequently check in with you and send photos/updates so you never have to worry about how your pet is doing!

Erika went out of her way to make sure my anxious dog was comfortable and content during her stay. She also shared many photos of my dog looking carefree and happy while they were together! Thank you!

Erika took really great care of my dog and also figured out creative ways to work around the fact that I forgot to pack my dog’s jacket during a windy weekend. Thank you!
