Availability

I work 5 days a week and I’m a college student but I’m mostly available during the day. I’d be perfect for the 9-5 worker who needs help with someone popping in and out during the morning/afternoon! However, when I dog sit for friends and family, I usually go by a morning walk, before work walk, and after work walk. Disclaimer for house sitting and overnight stays, I still go to work/check on my own babies frequently, so please know I won’t be in your home for a full uninterrupted 24 hours a day, but trust they won’t feel alone. I live with my brother so he cares for our pets while I’m caring for yours.

Safety, trust & environment

Let me know what your pet needs! What restrictions they have or allergies etc. I can crate your baby if needed, we can do dog parks, if your pet is anxious or reactive I can work with that (so are my babies!) if your kitty requires attention I’m all for it, or if they just want to be left alone I can absolutely understand that.

Information Erika V. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet is reactive or needs to be introduced to me beforehand and we can set something up. Let me know where to access all their needs (bowls, food, leash, toys, medication, etc) and most importantly how to access your home, and anything you don’t want me to have access to. I’m a super respectful person and would never want to break boundaries.

A typical day

Stimulating walks and taking different routes for them to sniff. Love playing fetch or lounging for belly rubs. I’m adaptable and can work with their needs!

Pet care experience

I have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own, and I treat them like my human babies. I frequently care for my best friends, other close friends, brother/sisters pets when they’re out of town or just have a long work day, including walking, feeding, playing, changing diapers, even cleaning up after their oopsies (it’s normal!) Promise to treat yours as if they’re mine!

Fantastic drop-ins and pup checks for our big old gentle giant. Comes naturally for her to work with our dog. Trust worthy and dependable! Hope we can have her again on our next vacate! Thank you Erika!

I love having Erika as a pet sitter, I know my pets are in safe hands and I never have to worry about my pets when I'm out of town. She is very attentive and keeps them active. My pets are excited when they see Erika, she will always be my first choice! She is always on time, enthusiastic and sweet. I have peace of mind leaving my pets with Erika, she is devoted to my pets needs and provide exceptional pet sitting service for my beloved pets.
