About Erika

Hi! My name is Erika and I enjoy spending time with all types of animals, great and small. I am passionate in animal welfare and have voluntereed in a few animal shelters and Guide Dogs Victoria in the past. I currently hold a working with children check and I am tetanus vaccinated (used for animal welfare volunteering and handling animals).

I have a friendly and docile 12 year old mini fox terrier cross, Buddy. He is less active now because of his age but gets along with all types of dogs. Buddy tends to be more energetic when he has visitors with him, which is great for his social skills and making him stay active.

I am experienced in all types of dogs and would love to take of your pet - depending on age or if your pet is active or would just love to sleep, I am able to take them out for long walks, play or just relax together.

I work from home full time so I will be able to look after your pets during the day and go for walks around the neighbourhood area or at Victoria Park in Kew. I live in a townhouse with a medium sized courtyard and have had many dogs of all sizes stay with us. My hours are quite flexible and I am able to pick up your pet from the area for a walk or pet sitting.

Note I sometimes host multiple pets at the same time, so please feel free check with me so I can confirm my schedule with you.

Erika was wonderful! Our dog is elderly and Erika has a good understanding of the needs of an older dog and gave her medication. Thank you, our dog was very happy.
