Safety, trust & environment

I have a 9 year old husky I walk an average of 2 - 3 miles a day since he loves walks. I do not bring him along for house sitting since his fluff will stay long after he does and he is comfy staying at home with my sister. I know how to approach new dogs to let them know I am a trustworthy person and pay attention to their own moods and personalities as each animal is different.

Information Erika W. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if they pull on the leash, are friendly to other dogs in case any come near, if they have any allergies or medications they take. Any fears such as cars or bugs.

A typical day

I know where some great dogs parks are if they are ok to be taken around other dogs, I have walking trails that are great to walk or run. I live next door to a large open field, enclosed by trees from the road that is great for playing catch.

Pets

I like all dogs and I cannot lie 🎵

Pet care experience

I am experienced with dogs of all sizes and cats as well. I grew up with both dogs and cats and also currently have a big fluffy husky that I love taking on long walks. He has taught me patience when walking to let him sniff and explore and to be able to pick up on tell tale signs from other dogs and surrounding areas. I have never met a pet I wasn’t able to become buddies within no time.

Erika is great with the dogs, knowledgeable, resourceful, and responsible. Best petsitter we've ever had and with multiple dogs over multiple decades, we've had plenty. On top of that, she is talented photographer, and puts that talent to use sending us plenty of photos of the dogs while we're away—and they always seem to be having a great time.

Erika was amazing! We took a vacation, and she was always on time to take care of our fur babies and sent great pics.
