Pet care experience
Hello and welcome! My name is Erika. I have one kitty named Tortellini. He’s extremely dog friendly and almost always makes friends with our house guests. I am home all day so your pet will never be alone, besides trips to the store or family matters.
Reviews
Erika took such great care of our dog, Tela, while we were on vacation for 9 days! I could tell as soon as I met her that she was an animal lover and understood the responsibility of taking on a reactive dog, which made me feel very comfortable. We got plenty of pictures and updates while we were away, and it was great to see Tela hanging out with her cats, going on walks, and playing ball. She was also super nice and flexible with us when our flight got canceled and we had to pick her up a little later than expected. I am so thankful that we found Erika and I would highly recommend her for any of your animal care needs!
Erika is a great pet sitter. She came to our home twice daily to take care of our multiple cats. Everything we had asked of her was taken care of. She also sent us updates throughout the week, which was very thoughtful. The best part was coming home, and there were no surprises, the cats were extremely well taken care of. I would strongly recommend her as a sitter. Very professional, reliable and I’ll definitely call her in the future. Thanks again Erika!
Fantastic...she was amazing with Sammie. She would text us and send us pictures throughout the evening. We were very impressed and will use her again for our upcoming trips. Erika was an absolute sweetheart and Sammie thought the samething.

Information Erika S. would like to know about your pet
Dogs temperament and food manners would be some of the important things I would need to know before allowing your pet to stay with me, just so I know how to handle feeding times and distance. Is your dog a jumper? A puller? A spotter? Can I trust off leash walks or are we strictly on leash types? Can I pet certain parts of the body or is there off limit areas? Anything little quirk you could think of would be appreciated to know, not to deter me but to better equip me with the correct knowledge on how to better care for your pet!
A typical day
Depending on the exercise requirements of your animal and how much activity they require the time could be discussed. For easy/moderate walks the bike trail is directly behind my home at the local park 5 miles away which houses a wonderful flat walking path! The trails runs with the river, swim time is always encouraged. DOGGIE HIKING!! More advanced pups can and will be welcome to taking a list of different hike choices in the Laurel Highlands with me! Local unpopulated trails make for a great exercising session, for all parties involved!
