Your Dog's New Best Friend!

Hey! I am a lifelong animal lover who for the first time in my life am without my own resident dog. I've always had a dog in the family, since i was 1 month old, and until now have never lived without one. I've had Labrador Retrievers, Dobermans, Collies, Pitbulls- so plenty of experience with strong personality and physically strong dogs. I've raised dogs from puppies to past 16 years old- I have experience with the energy of a puppy and the patience for the elderly. Whether it's long walks, hikes, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I make sure every pet feels safe and happy.

Erika was wonderful with Freyja. She walked her multiple times a day, and even let me know of a lump she found under her fur. We had an unexpected delay in our trip and Erika offered to keep watching our girl and even get more food. Will definitely book again!

Erika was great with our dog Sam! Sam is nervous around strangers and Erika was very patient. She also knows how to handle with different dog needs well. She met us twice before the sitting, to make sure Sam got comfortable with her. Loved the stay, would recommend .

Schedule

I work from home full time, which means I'm around and available for plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I can easily adjust my breaks to fit your pet's routine. I am an early riser to likes to enjoy most of the daylight. After work hours I'm typically out of the house for no more than 3 hrs at a time. On weekends, i like to get outside as much as possible and would love to include your dog on my walks or hikes.

Safety, trust & environment

While i do not have a yard, I have a large 2 car garage that can be used for play. My development has an onsite dog park that can be used if your dog is friendly and responsive in park settings. I have a spare dog crate and can crate the dog as needed when I am not home.

A typical day

I can tailor activities specific to your dog, but I have no issue fitting in lots of exercise and playtime. During the weekdays, a nice morning and afterwork walk/play would be my typical routine- with shorter potty breaks and playtime during the day. The weekends are open for adventure and whatever your dog's typical activities are.
