About Erika

I am dependable, reliable, and well-equipped for pet handling. Growing up around dogs, cats, turtles, birds, and snakes not only deepened my love for animals but also motivated me to educate myself more about them. This passion led me to foster animals for about two years. I would describe my personality as nurturing, patient, committed, and physically active. Working with animals brings me a sense of wholeness, especially after losing my fur baby of 15 years to old age. I began working with animals at 16 by fostering those in need and finding homes for strays in my neighborhood. Additionally, I volunteered at a shelter in Plattsburgh, New York, while pursuing my degree. In my spare time, I enjoy exploring nature and discovering new parts of the city. My skills include the ability to read an animal's body language and working well under pressure.
