I take joy in learning a pet’s personality, routine in their own home, schedule, and any special requirements. I also keep all shared spaces tidy.

Information Erika S. would like to know about your pet

I prefer that we schedule a meeting to discuss schedules for feeding and exercise, any special considerations or needs, and emergency plans before our fist visit.

A typical day

I like to learn a pet's needs and preference, and plan our days accordingly. It’s helpful if you write up a schedule detailing the routine you regularly follow, and notes with any special insights about what your pet likes.

Erika took wonderful care of my dog and cat while I was out of town for a week. She did everything perfectly, and it seemed like my normally super shy cat warmed up to her quickly based on the frequent photo updates she shared. Thank you so much!

Erika was great with my pup Rico. She’s patient and kind and Rico warmed up to her quickly. She made sure he went on a good walk and kept me informed of potty breaks and provided photos. Will definitely book again!

Erika was the best cat sitter! She listened carefully to my instructions, asked thoughtful questions, and ultimately did everything perfectly. During my trip, Erika sent me the most beautiful pictures of my cat along with helpful updates. I’ve never seen him look so enamored or relaxed with anyone but me, especially someone he didn’t know previously! Erika showed her intuitive ability to understand my cat and appreciate his eccentricities. I’m so glad I lucked out and found a sitter who made me feel confident that my cat and apartment were safe in her hands. 1000% would recommend Erika, she’s good people and a wonderful companion to animals!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
