Erika was beyond kind and professional with pet sitting for me. She is the best pet sitter I’ve had and would absolutely hire her again. 10/10!

Erika took great care of my cat while I was away! She always sent me updates and pictures when she checked in on her. I'll definitely use Erika's pet sitting services again.

Erika is a wonderful pet sitter. She recently looked after my three cats. She gave me updates twice a day after her visits. I felt very comfortable with leaving my pets in her care. She even brought in and unpacked an order from Chewy that arrived during my absence! I highly recommend Erika and will hire her again the next time I travel.

I am amazed by Erika’s care to my little boy Olaf (cat). Olaf never came out when other cat sitter comes, but Erika managed to get Olaf become familiar with her and provide great accompany to him. She also helped with me on mail and cat litter cleaning. Meanwhile I have to say she is a born pet photographer, all her photos about Olaf are better than mine! Attach one great photo from her! And she also sent me videos about Olaf everyday!

Details: Cat • 1 pet • Giving food and water • Providing companionship • Changing litter or bedding • Short visit (30 minutes) • Once a day • My home, venue, etc.

Erika is great! This is the first time we needed a pet sitter for our cat, and after reaching out to Erika, she responded within minutes to the request! Our kitty is very shy and we were nervous to leave her alone for the first time (for over a week) and Erika gave us daily video updates. By the end of our trip, Kiki was excited when Erika would come over to check on her and stopped hiding under the bed. Next time we have to leave town, we will definitely be reaching out to see if Erika is available! If this is the first time you’re looking for a pet sitter, reach out to Erika, your pet will be in good hands!
