Let me know about special needs, boundaries on food, treats and activity. I want to ensure the most seamless transitions for your baby. Let me know commands and best approach for enforcing rules while you’re away. I hope we can meet soon!

I love going on fun walks through neighborhoods and look at all the beauty your pet is experiencing. The smells, sounds, views and fresh air. I give doggy massages, brushing, belly rubs and cuddles!

Wonderful! Erika made Lefty feel right at home, and he was a happy boy at the end of the day.

Erika did a wonderful job taking care of our Annie and sent pics and videos showing how much fun she was having playing with her family and family dog. Thank you Erika.

We had such a wonderful experience with Erika! She looked after our puppy for five days, showering her with love, keeping her schedule and constantly playing and entertaining her. She created the perfect home environment for her to feel comfortable. Erika kept us in the loop with regular updates and photos of our puppy. We’re definitely going to use her services again! We encourage everyone to hire her as a pet sitter, she is wonderful.
