Pet care experience

All dogs okay, even special needs!

I've had dogs and cats my entire life, and have pet-sat for many friends. I grew up with labs and currently have a toy poodle. I've taken care of English mastifs, poodles, pugs, doodles, mixed breeds, and many wonderful cats. I have experience with puppies and elderly dogs, and won't shy away from administering medication. I'll give your pet/s the love and understanding I give my own, and will tailor to your and your pets' needs. If your dog wants to run, walk, swim, play, or just cuddle, I can give them what they need. If your cat wants to cuddle, play, be left alone, or even go for a walk, I'll do it. Animals have unique needs and personalities, and I understand how important it is to leave your furbabies in the best care.

Erika was amazing with our girls! As a helicopter puppy parent, she was fabulous about sending lots of pictures and videos while I was at work to get me through the day. We will definitely see Erika again soon, they had so much fun!

Erika is a wonderful sitter and Cooper always enjoys staying with her and Choco. Erika always sends us pictures and videos of Cooper 1-2 times a day. She’s extremely friendly and a very helpful person. We’re always at ease when Cooper is with staying with her. I would definitely recommend her to any potential dog parents looking to sit their fur babies.

Schedule

I work from home and have a regular schedule. Monday - Thursday I work 11:30am - 8:00pm, with a break from 4:15pm - 4:45pm, when I walk my own dog and any dogs I'm sitting. Fridays I work 7:30am - 4:00pm and my walk break is 11:15am - 11:45am. I walk my dog four times a day and can easily take another dog at the same time. I'm off Saturday and Sunday, leaving me free for trips to the park, pet-friendly outings, or hikes.

Safety, trust & environment

I am extremely careful and pets' safety and wellbeing are always at the top of my mind. My yard is not fully fenced, so I will never let a pet out off-leash. I live in a very walkable neighborhood with ample sidewalks.

Pets

A typical day

I will walk, run, play, or just hang out with your pet. I already walk my dog four times a day and it's easy to take another dog along. On weekends, I have time for longer outings.
