“Erica has been so amazing with Leo! Leo tends to be nervous of new people and reactive so I was very apprehensive about having someone new walk him. Erica took her time with Leo, doing a meet and greet and test walk before and was patient in allowing him to gain trust in her. He’s making such great progress with Erica and it’s so nice to have found someone who is so sweet and loving towards him and who can be trusted. Erica is very reliable, coming at the scheduled time each day and even willing to make last minute adjustments when needed. I can’t say enough how amazing Erica has been and how much Leo and I appreciate her for her help!”



About: I grew up with pets my whole life and love all types very much! I am home full time and have a large back yard where your pet will be able to play all they would like. We do have 5 children, a cat, a dog, and a few other aquarium pets on the property, so please keep that in mind when contacting me. We love the outdoors and your pet will get plenty of love and playtime. Open hours and huge flexibility. I have raised pets my whole life and have sat for many pets. Your pet will have lots of individual care time, a lot of play time, and will go on many walks. This is an outdoor friendly home! How does pet care fit into your daily or weekly routine? My days are flexible and we can make a schedule work well for the both of us. The pets in my home are just another part of our family. They eat when we do, hang out with us. Our dog even rides bikes with us. They are just another wonderful addition. Must know how they are with children and small dogs. There are five children in the home as well as a small dog. I can come and walk dogs that are not good with other dogs and children but I cannot accept dogs into my home that could be bad with children.

About: I majored at the University of Maine in animal and veterinarian sciences with a Prevet concentration. I have had the honor to work in vet offices, in zoos and on farms. So I have been around many different types of animals in multiple ways. I believe that all animals are the most selfless, caring beings and truly are a man’s best friend. Everyone I know, refers to me as an animal lover and because of the veterinarian side, I will always make sure to keep an eye out on your animals health as well. I have plenty of time to be attentive and spend with your animal :). I even included the days where I can housesit full-time preferably, which would be over the weekend and into Monday. But obviously, there can always be exceptions, all I ask is for a check in/heads up. For housesitting, I will obviously follow any guidelines you leave me, whether that be walking your animal on a leash or some type of harness; or letting them out into a fenced in area. I will follow feeding guidelines and anything else that is a concern of yours.
