Pet care experience

Holistic pet and home care

I am a very attentive and genuine caretaker. I grew up with many pets at home and know how to take care of diverse needs. At one time we have had a parrot, four cats, and two dogs. On multiple occasions I have been the sole caretaker for all of these critters. I have an attention to detail in regards to their care by recognizing and tracking changes in mood and behavior as a way to keep an eye on their health. I can also be firm with dogs to uphold specific training regimens.

Safety, trust & environment

I first introduce myself and have a communication with the pets. I understand and respect that I am a new person in their home. I like to hang out with the animals as often as I can to give them optimal comfort and care while their parents are away.

Erika was amazing- house sat my high maintenance cat, gave her ear drops, kept me up on her general well-being and was a total sweetheart. She kept the apt super clean and I will definitely use her again!

Erika is kind, patient, and thoughtful. She loves the outdoors and animals. She is reliable and safety conscious. Your pet will absolutely love her! I cannot recommend her enough- five stars!

Erika has a deep love and passion for animals, and is very responsible when it comes to caring for pets. She has multiple pets of her own, and has always prioritized their needs and given them proper care and attention. I highly recommend her as a dog sitter, your animals are in wonderful, capable hands if you hire Erika!

Our little dog Koda loves when Erika comes to visit and take him for a walk. When we had to travel and Erika was not able to care for our dog and other pets she found a wonderful pet sitter to cover for her. Thank you Erika

Schedule

I love visiting new areas and taking care of animals. I work Monday through Friday and on Tuesdays and Thursdays I go into the office in Waitsfield. I would be away for about 9-10 hours depending on the distance. Otherwise I’d be working remotely and can offer a lot of companionship for your fur baby. Lastly, for pet sits that are 4+ nights I’d require some flexibility to either be away overnight a few times a week or to have my partner be able to come overnight a few times a week. He is also great with both cats and dogs and could join a video call! I am flexible and open to ideas of how to accommodate the pet, home, and my personal routine.

Erika can host up to 1 pet per night
It is helpful to know your personal house rules and unique traits of the pets. I also like to know if we can go to spaces such as dog parks or preferred areas for a walk.
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.
