Pet care experience

Safe, loving care for every kitty

I have cared for cats for my whole life, and have come to understand their many different personalities. Whether they are shy, curious, playful, or in the mood to destroy the world, I make sure each cat feels comfortable and loved. I also have a very friendly and calm cat at home who enjoys gentle company. This tends to help make the stay more relaxing and enjoyable for visiting cats. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to handle feeding, litter box care, medications, and plenty of playtime. My goal is to give your cat a happy experience while keeping you feeling safe and secure while you are away.

Erma was so kind and communicative! I got so many sweet pictures and videos of my cat while I was away and my cat absolutely loved her

Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my Stormy! ❤️ Erma had excellent communication and kept me updated throughout my entire vacation, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. Thank you again!

Erma was great. Super communication, daily updates and her cat was welcoming to our cat. Would 💯 use Erma again.

Erma provided a loving home and warm environment for my two kitties. One of my babies is especially shy and anxious, Erma and Kiss (her cat) gently coaxed him out of his shell. By the middle of the stay, everyone was relaxed, playing, and enjoying the views together. Erma followed the feeding guidelines provided and gave cuddles to my affectionate cat. Importantly, she sent multiple photos and videos every day!!

The best! I’m so grateful I found Erma on this app. She took care of Moon as her own. I’m happy Moon got to meet and be friends with Kiss. Will definitely book again. :)

Erma was amazing! We had a last minute trip and she took care of our dog, Trigger! She sent tons of videos and photos, which I really liked! Our dog was very happy and well cared for! Would recommend!

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, thanks to the flexibility of working from home. This gives me the freedom to be available throughout the week, including weekends and most holidays, to ensure pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m fortunate to offer a welcoming and pet-friendly environment. Inside, I’ve created safe, cozy, and fun spaces complete with toys and designated areas for relaxation and play.My household also includes a friendly and sociable cat, who loves meeting new cats. He has a warm and playful nature which I believe helps create a comforting atmosphere, making your pets feel right at home during their stay.

Pets

A typical day

I have a variety of interactive toys to choose from, and I’ll use whichever ones catch their interest. If your pet needs time to adjust and wants some alone time, that's fine too! I do not pressure any pets to interact more than they are willing to. Your furry friends are guaranteed a stay filled with love, care, and plenty of fun!

To ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable during their time with me, there are a few important details I’d like to know in advance: - Feeding Schedule: Please share your pet's usual feeding times and any special dietary needs. - Medications: If your pet takes any medications, provide clear instructions on dosage and timing, along with any relevant health concerns. - Emergency Contacts: I’ll need your contact information, your vet's details, and a trusted backup contact in case of emergencies. - Behavior and Habits: Let me know about your pet’s personality, daily routine, and anything that might trigger stress or anxiety. - Exercise and Play: Tell me about their exercise needs and favorite activities so I can keep them entertained and happy. - Comfort Items: If your pet has a favorite toy, blanket, or other item that helps them feel at home, let me know! - Pickup and Drop-Off: Please confirm the pickup and drop-off times to make the process smooth and convenient for both of us. - Updates: I will send regular updates, including messages and photos, so you know your pet is well cared for. Feel free to reach out any time with questions, or if you want an extra few pictures of your pet throughout the day! These details help me provide the best possible care and ensure your pet has a stress-free, enjoyable experience.
