Pet care experience

I like all dogs and I cannot lie 🎵

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.

Pets

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.

I needed to find a last minute sitter and Erika was able to come to the rescue given the circumstances. She took great care of my girls!! Highly recommend Erika!

Was 40 mins late to take care of my dogs and didn’t communicate that she would be late or why. Really not professional. Would not use again unfortunately.

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.

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.
