Hello, fur parents! I'm Erika.
The animal lover who will be caring for your fur babies.
I'm originally from the U.S., though I've had the pleasure of living in the UAE for the past 14 years. Before moving here, I worked as a professional dog walker and pet sitter back home, caring for many amazing fur babies.
A few years ago, after stepping down from my digital marketing career, I decided to return to pet sitting — and I can honestly say I've never been happier. Every pet I care for is treated exactly as I'd treat my own.

My furry (and feathered) friends
A few of the pets I've had the joy of caring for across Dubai.
"Yes! I am a qualified pet-sitting expert"
Becoming a certified pet sitting expert takes dedication, training, and genuine care for animals. I've completed professional courses in animal behaviour, emergency care, pet health and responsible service — so your pets receive not just basic care, but expert attention and affection.
What my clients have to say
Real words from real fur families across Dubai.
“I can't recommend Erika's pet sitting business enough. She has cared for my cat, Coco, and the bond between them is truly special. It's so clear that she is a genuine animal lover. Coco absolutely adores her, and as a pet owner, that means everything to me. Whenever Erika is with Coco, I see how patient, attentive, and loving she is. She doesn't just take care of Coco's needs. She spends real quality time with her and treats her like her own. It gives me complete peace of mind knowing Coco is safe, loved, and truly cared for. Erika has built an amazing business with people who genuinely care about animals. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate pet care.”
“Erika brings her love of animals into your home and gives you immense peace of mind while you're away. Her attention to detail, and her ability to love on them just makes me glad I have someone like her in my corner when it comes to my floofs. Thank you for EVERYTHING you do Erika ❤️”
“I cannot recommend Erika highly enough. She looks after our fur kits when we are away, and she truly goes above and beyond every single time. From regular updates and photos to the genuine love and care she gives them, she gives us complete peace of mind. It's clear that she doesn't just “watch” them – she treats them like her own. Reliable, kind, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful, Erika is simply the best. If you're looking for someone you can trust wholeheartedly, she comes strongly recommended. We are so grateful for her!”
