Responsible, happy & love to walk!
Pet care experience
I’ve grown up with my friends’ dogs and personal dogs (two French Bulldogs and a Boston Terrier). I am comfortable with all breeds (as long as they are friendly!) I am confident and will make sure the dog and I understand each other during our walks.
Reviews

Erika was amazing! Took great care of our dog and sent a lot of photos.
Erika watched our pup Mowgli for us & we were beyond satisfied with her services & care! Mowgli is an energetic husky mix, who is always up for a walk, hike, play session, and more. Lucky for us, Erika was able to tire him out with a hike, long beach walk, and a neighborhood walk! We did not ask her to do this, but she willingly tired him out since she knew we had a long drive back home that we wanted him to be tired for. Mowgli clung to Erika right off the bat due to her calm demeanor and we highly recommend her services.
Erika is a genuinely caring empath who naturally connects with all animals. She's responsible, loving, and has a spacious and comfortable home —perfect for your pet(s). Her active lifestyle ensures your pet will feel comfortable, engaged, and well-cared for throughout their stay. Highly recommended!
Erika was a very caring and attentive caregiver for our sweet bullmastiff, DeeDee. Dee would be extremely stubborn on walks - to the point of lying down on the sidewalk and refusing to budge, but Erika was always patient and willing to attempt a walk anyway. Dee was always so excited when Erika would walk through the door and loved all of the attention Erika would give her - from head scratches to belly rubs. Dee had some medical issues that required daily medication and Erika made sure to administer it timely and as directed. Since Dee was a rescue and an extra large breed we didn’t like boarding her at large facilities, so we were really grateful Erika was able to come to our home on multiple occasions and take care of our big sweetie. She is so calm and loving in nature and really has a way with animals. Erika was always a very respectful and tidy houseguest as well and we recommend her highly!
