Experienced Foster Home

Pet care experience

** It is important to remember that as the weather gets colder, temperatures below zero (including ‘feels like’ temps) are unsafe for most breeds. I’m happy to drop in and let your pet play and potty but a 30 minute walk is not safe at those temperatures. ** We are a home with lots of dog fostering experience. We are familiar with giving medications and feed on a schedule. We have two cats, Tonks and Stella, and two dogs, Charlie and Norman, in the home. A huge backyard and lots of walking paths around us. I'm a stay at home mom by day and a bartender by night. We have experience with senior dogs and dogs with disabilities. We foster through and donate 5% of our earnings on Rover to Coco's Heart Dog Rescue out of Hudson, WI. My daughter is less than a year old and she accompanies me on walks (I wear her!) so if your pup is extra excitable or a big dog who can't control their jumping we may not be a great fit. I love dogs and am really intuitive to their needs. I love meeting new clients and I love my regular clients, so lets get to know each other!

Erika is the best! She always takes care of my cat and dog and goes above and beyond each and every time we are gone, bringing in our bins from the curb, offering to water our plants, brings in our packages, etc. my pets are always happy and content when I come home after Erika has been there. She has great updates and communication. No worries at all on my pets when Erika is my pet-sitter.

Erika always takes such great care of my dog and cat when I am out of town and can’t take one or both. She really loves animals, it’s apparent! She always provides excellent updates and promptly replies. She’s on-time and friendly. She also does little things like brings in our garbage bins from the curb and take in our packages and newspapers - definitely goes above and beyond, thank you Erika!

Erika always takes care of my dog and/or cat while we’re gone, and has been doing so now for years. I continue to ask her because she not only takes great care of my dog and cat but is super reliable, has great communication, and she brings in our mail, garbage bins, took out trash once - little things that she does not need to do but she does and it’s so appreciated. It’s evident also that Erika truly loves animals and spending time with them. She has treated my pets like her own. Thanks Erika!

Erika always takes such great care of my cat when we’re out of town. She plays with her, cuddles her and always lets me know everything with detailed comments in the app. She goes above and beyond each and every time she comes by for my pets! Thank you Erika!
