Pet care experience

Play Hard, Sleep Harder

Hey! My name is Erika and I've been around dogs my entire life. I know how hard it can be to say goodbye to your fur baby when you have to leave, so with no doubt, they'll be taken care of and loved the same if you were home. My pup, Moko, lives with me right now, and she's always down to make new fur friends. Pets staying at my home will always have lots of love and attention, stay hydrated, access to a fenced/private dog park, tons of play time and toys to chew. Ideally, they'll be kept on the schedule that you normally have them on, so it won't be any different when you return home. It'll always just be your pet and my pup, so there's lots of space and room to breathe. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to ask. Hopefully I'll see you and your pup soon!

Erika was such a great dog sitter!! She took such good care of our dog, and sent many updates through her stay. I would absolutely recommend her!

Erika is wonderful and Moko her dog is so sweet! Our dog, Lu can sometimes be nervous about making new friends and she was so patient and kind and accommodating to help her and introduce her. Lu was well loved and cared for and looks forward to seeing Erika again!

Erika was awesome! Her and Moko kept my pup entertained the whole weekend. She goes on runs with them if you like and keeps you well informed as to how your pup is doing! I recommend her service!

My Bella has developed really bad separation anxiety since we work from home now. Erika handled it so well, took her for long walk and lots of snuggles. I felt comforted knowing she was in good hands.

Schedule

Pet Care: I offer most of my pet services during the weekend so I have adequate time to spend with your pup! If you're interested or would like to talk about boarding during weekdays, feel free to reach out and we can discuss how I care for both my pup and your pup during the week.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my number one priority. Its important to do a meet-and-great, discuss behavior tendencies, and overview your typical schedule! Additionally when you pup stays in my home, they'll have constant supervision. If running errands, my pup and your pup will be in separate areas of the home - allowing rest from each other, rest from playing, etc.

Pets

A typical day

Whether you have a younger pup that loves to run or an older pup that loves to stop and smell the roses, I have a huge green space beside my place that makes a 1 mile loop that will get visited probably more than once a day (we love fresh air in this household)! Moko is a huge fan of fetch, so if your pup is vaccinated and doesn't mind the dog park, we'll visit for games of fetch or even just to experience the new smells!

Please let me know if your pup requires any special attention (if they need release commands to eat, snugs before bed, medications, etc.). I want to ensure your pup is cared for the way you would care for them. Additionally, please let me know about aggressive behavior, lunging or pulling on walks, or if they don't like other animals. Aggressive behavior such as biting or possessiveness is unfortunately something I will decline your care request for. If your dog isn't aggressive, but does bark at other dogs on walks or lunges at them, please let me know so I can walk them safely away from other dogs!
