About Me
Owner / Pet Care Specialist
Hello, Fur Parents!
My name is Erika, and I’m originally from the U.S., though I’ve had the pleasure of living in the UAE for the past 13 years. Before moving here, I worked as a professional dog walker and pet sitter back home, where I had the privilege of meeting and caring for many amazing fur babies. About two 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!
I have always had a deep love and appreciation for animals, and over the years, this passion has grown into a rewarding experience as a pet sitter. There’s something truly special about the bond between humans and their furry friends, and being able to care for pets while their owners are away is something I will always cherish.
My experience as a pet sitter has allowed me to connect with a variety of animals, from playful puppies to calm, affectionate cats, to bunnies and turtles. Each pet is unique, and I make it a priority to understand their individual needs and personalities, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved in my care.
Whether it’s playing fetch in the yard, snuggling on the couch, or simply making sure they have plenty of food and fresh water, I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. I believe in creating a trusting relationship with both the pet and their owner, giving them peace of mind knowing their beloved animal is in loving hands.
Being a pet sitter has not only allowed me to share my love for animals but also helped me develop a deeper understanding of their behavior and needs. I find it incredibly fulfilling to see a fur baby happy and healthy, and I look forward to every opportunity to continue caring for and bonding with yours.

"Erika has been an absolute lifesaver for us and our doggie Scarlett! She is incredibly flexible and always makes herself available, even on short notice, which has been so helpful when we want to go out on the weekends. Her love for Scarlett is evident, and it's clear the feeling is mutual—Scarlett absolutely adores her.
One of the things we appreciate most about Erika is her attentiveness. Scarlett has a special diet, and after explaining the feeding instructions once, Erika got it down perfectly—no reminders needed! That level of reliability and care gives us such peace of mind.
We truly can't recommend Erika enough. She's everything you could hope for in a pet sitter and more. We love her, and so does Scarlett!"

"Hey Erika, You were an absolute STAR in taking care of my cats. I was so worried about leaving my boys for 10 days, but you made it so easy for me. Thank you for being on time, taking great care of them, and giving all the daily videos and updates. I see they bonded with you very quickly. You made my holiday tension free!!! Thank you once again. Much Love"

"Erika has been working as our dog sitter/walker for the past year and has been nothing but amazing! My two dogs can be a bit shy and difficult with strangers, but she won them over both and they absolutely love her. She always goes above and beyond and has been able to jump in last minute a few times when we were stuck at work, which really saved us. She's super flexible but most importantly she's great with animals! Would highly recommend!"

"I can't say enough good things about Erika and the incredible care she provides. She's not just a pet sitter – she's truly part of our extended family now. My three dogs absolutely adore her. The moment she walks in, their tails are wagging like crazy. She's attentive, gentle, playful, and clearly understands the individual personalities and needs of each of my pups. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime, or just making sure they feel safe and loved while I'm away, she goes above and beyond every time. I always come home to happy, calm dogs — and her updates while I'm away give me complete peace of mind. I wouldn't trust anyone else with their care. If you're looking for someone who will love and care for your pets like they're her own, you've found her!"

I think my cats love Erika more than me!! She shows genuine love for my babies, giving me regular updates making me feel confident that they are being taken care of properly. I have a strict routine for my cats and she follows it to the tee, which helps them stay within their routine. We're so lucky to have her, I can not recommend a better person to take care of your pets, she really does care for animals and it shows!

What a joy to have found Erika! Her care and genuine interest towards our 2 furry family members is unmatched - and we do have some experience accumulated in the 10 years we've had pets. In this case, 'Just like family' is more than a tag line. It completely encompasses what Erika stands for and how she treats those in her care.

Erika was amazing with Zelda! She’s super professional and really sweet. My cat is usually quite diffident and doesn’t warm up to people easily, but Erika managed to gain her trust soon. She kept me updated regularly and made sure Zelda was happy and comfortable the whole time. I felt totally at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommended!

I can’t recommend Erika enough! She cared for my fur babies while I was staying in Dubai and traveling for work to Jordan, and treated them like they were her own. The babies always came first, she was reliable and on time, and she even left my home spotless.
Since moving back home we haven’t seen each other, but we’ve stayed in touch and she still checks in to ask about my babies. That says so much about how genuine and caring she is.
I’m so proud of her for taking the leap and starting Just Like Family In Home Petsitting. If you ever need someone you can completely trust with your fur babies and your home, Erika is the one. Truly the best!

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! 🐾✨

I can’t recommend Erika’s pet sitting business enough. She-Earl 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 She-Earl 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, and She-Earl is a perfect example of that. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate pet care.
