I am a teacher full time, but have plenty of time on nights and weekends. I can pop in to give your fur baby some loving, or we can go for a walk to help them release all that pent up energy. Weekends are pretty open and flexible and I am ready to take your pups out in the beautiful weather.

Safety, trust & environment

The first priority is the comfort and safety of the fur babies. I will take my time to ensure that they are comfortable with me and know that they are safe. I will ensure we are walking in areas that are safe and as free from hazards as possible. As a mom of three human babies I know how important supervision is and will ensure that your fur babies are under my watchful eye as much as needed. I will also make sure to follow any requests/accommodations from you as needed to help build the trust and safety of all.

Information Erika T. would like to know about your pet

We can have conversations about what specific needs your animals may need. I am open to feeding, giving water, treats and can do more if requested. Let's talk!

A typical day

It is up to the animals on what they like. For dogs I love to play with them, take them on walks or just give them all the loves. For cats, if they are playful I am always up for a game of pouncing. I also will give them space if they prefer, I know how testy cats can be!

Here to love on your fur babies

Pet care experience

Hello, I am Erika, lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. We can do walks, hikes, swimming, even to a play day at the park, I am sure I will pamper your pooch. I have grown up with animals, cats and dogs. I currently help family and friends when they need an extra hand with their fur babies. For me, it’s their stay, their way! They lead me on their walks, so I allow them to safely do what they want, within reason of course. I also have 2 kids who would love to help cuddle your fur babies with all the attention they can want, if your baby prefers that. If not, we will have a great time on our own! Any specific requests for them? Let me know! I am happy to do drop-ins as well to make sure your animals are fed, have plenty of water and attention. Allow me to meet y'all and lets play fetch!
