Availability
Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals! I am currently available on weekends and Friday afternoons, which allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to your pets. During the week, I am generally more available in the evenings, as I am currently completing an HR internship at a company in West Chester. That being said, I understand that every pet and owner has different schedules and needs, so I am more than willing to be flexible with timing and any other concerns. I’m happy to communicate and work together to create a schedule that is best for both you and your pet!

About Erika S.
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I understand that pets feel most comfortable when they are in a familiar, safe, and stress-free environment. That’s why I currently only offer pet care services in the pet owner’s home. Staying in their own space helps pets maintain their normal routines, feel secure, and experience less anxiety while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, consistency, and communication. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, house rules, and routines to ensure your pet receives the same level of care they are used to every day. I also make sure pets always have a clean, comfortable environment and plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. Building trust with both pets and owners is extremely important to me. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel confident and reassured while they are away. My goal is to create a calm, caring, and dependable experience where both pets and owners feel safe, comfortable, and supported.

Reliable & Caring Pet Sitter
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Erika, and I’m a dependable, active, and compassionate pet sitter who truly enjoys caring for animals. What sets me apart is my patience, empathy, and attentiveness to each pet’s individual needs. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I always make it a priority to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m physically active and love going on walks, playing outside, and keeping energetic dogs engaged. I’m also patient and gentle with older pets and am comfortable assisting with senior dog care, including administering oral medications, following feeding schedules, and providing extra attention and reassurance when needed. I’m highly organized, responsible, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I also value communication and will provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.

Reviews
Erika has cared for our dog and two cats on multiple occasions while we travel, and she has also helped with solo dog walks when needed. She is incredibly trustworthy, dependable, organized, and communicative, which gives us complete peace of mind whenever we’re away. One of the best endorsements I can give is that our dog absolutely loves Erika and recognizes her immediately when she arrives. It’s clear that Erika genuinely cares about the pets she works with and takes the time to build a relationship with them. We always know our pets are in great hands when Erika is caring for them. I highly recommend Erika to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and caring pet sitter or dog walker.
We always have a wonderful experience with Erika as our our dog and house sitter! She is professional, communicative, and experienced with dogs of all personalities and ages. Our pup can be a little shy at first, but Erika is patient and quickly builds trust, which gives us so much peace of mind when we're away. Erika always sends regular updates, photos, and messages, which reassures us that our dog is happy, well‑exercised, and cared for. She follows all instructions carefully, including feeding and sleep routines, and goes above and beyond to spend extra playtime with our active and high-energy dog. We always come home to a relaxed and happy pup — the best sign of all. I highly recommend Erika to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible dog sitter!
