Pet Lover & Walker Extrordinare 🐾

Proud dog mom myself with a very friendly 11lb chihuahua mix. I’ve been watching & walking dogs on and off since 2021. Now that my boyfriend and I have been dog owners for over a year now, we feel confident that we can board other pups in our dog-friendly apartment in addition to walks and house calls. Our dog Daisy is truly a best friend to all pups and loves to play!

Dog Walking • Jun 15, 2026

Erika has been wonderful with Matisse, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Matisse is a very shy dog, so I really appreciated that Erika suggested a meet & greet before his first walk. It was clear right away how comfortable she is with dogs and how she truly cares about them. I knew that Matisse would be in great hands. I was anxious on their first day together, but Erika was thoughtful and kept me posted throughout the walk. The moment I received her first message saying that Matisse had greeted her at the door with kisses, I stopped worrying. Her patience, professionalism, and kindness made all the difference, and I am so grateful for the care she has shown Matisse. Don't hesitate to book Erika!

House Sitting • Sep 11, 2023

Erika is the most fantastic sitter a person could ask for. Communicative, respectful, and sweet, she truly took care of my dog like her own. When my flight home was cancelled, she was able to be flexible and so incredibly helpful. Goose and I look forward to working with her again soon!

House Sitting • Jun 04, 2023

Erika is a dream dog sitter. She is communicative, professional, respectful, and so so sweet. No matter how many unhinged dog-parent instructions I threw her way, she rolled with them with ease and humor. She sent adorable pictures throughout the weekend and left my apartment spotless. Goose and I are so looking forward to working with her again soon!

Schedule

I’m a fitness instructor with a relatively flexible schedule. Having a dog at home can be limiting for overnight stays, but if my boyfriend is home to take care of Daisy we can try to make something work! Open to establishing a weekly walk schedule or for boarding.

Pets

A typical day

I love to play! Whatever toys you have for your pup will be put to good use on a drop in visit/house sitting stay. I will happily take them out for a 20-30 minute walk or we will try our darndest to search for the nearest park for a quick game of fetch!
