Animal-loving Zoology Student💚

Pet care experience

I am currently a zoology major at Weber State University. As a lab assistant for the university, I get to care for all of the animals on campus including a captive woodrat colony! I have had birds, reptiles, and mammals as pets since I was 10 years old. I love spending time with animals and am studying to work with animals for my career. The countless positions I have had taking care of pets for their owner’s vacations, workdays, or even just a date night has given me the experience I need to ensure that the animals I care for will have the best conditions available. I am studying at Weber State University and because I have mostly online classes there is a lot of flexibility in my schedule when it comes to providing pet care. All of my evenings and weekends are generally free and can easily be reserved for the care of your beloved fur baby! I am happy to accommodate for specific needs depending on the situation and type of care you are looking for. I have had many experiences with housesitting in the past that involved many different types of pets. I can stay overnight at your home if you would prefer or can visit periodically for drop-ins instead. Depending on what kind of care you would like, I can also spend my time there during the day as well to help them feel safe and loved while you are away. I am happy to care for any cats or caged pet at my home in South Ogden. My apartment is clean, safe, and provides a lot of nice places for your pet to relax or explore! My roommate is also a zoology major and instantly falls in love with any animal she encounters, so you can be sure that there will be plenty of attention and love for your baby.

Erica was amazing with our two pups! It was our first time with house sitting and she definitely made us feel at ease. Her communication with us was incredible and we got so many updates from her throughout the days we were out. We 1000% would recommend her to anyone. She was very kind, patient, and most importantly great with our dogs. We know they loved having her around! ?

Safety, trust & environment

I believe that it is very important to have meet and greets prior to a booking to make sure that all animals and humans feel comfortable with the care I will provide. I also ask that you have veterinary information available so that in the rare event that something bad happens, your pet will have access to the help they need in order to be safe and healthy. Ensuring a valid method of communication is also a must for me in any pet care booking I accept. In any situation, especially when an owner is planning to go somewhere without the ability to communicate, I appreciate the option of an emergency contact so that I can make informed decisions regarding a pet’s safety. I have a small rat terrier that absolutely adores cats and would be elated to become friends with whatever pets may stay at my home. He has a very calm demeanor so if your cat wanted to be left alone, he would also be perfectly fine to let them do their own thing.

Information Erica A. would like to know about your pet

I love to be prepared, so I will take any info about your fur baby you are able to provide. If you have the food portion sizes, feeding times, favorite games, special routines, rest times, energy level, or special needs of your dog I am all ears (floppy or otherwise)!

A typical day

My zoology major roommate and I will love on your pup until the moment they leave - and maybe a little after too. I am excited to take them on walks to the huge Glassmann Way Park near my house so they can run around and play with the many other dogs that are there every day. They will receive lots of cuddles and loves from us while we do our homework or watch fun shows. We are happy to accommodate the needs of our furry guests as best we can to make sure they feel comfortable and happy while they are here!

I am in school for the fall semester, so I would be going to classes for a couple of hours in the morning on weekdays. Other than that, I will be spending almost all of my time at home as I am a virtual tutor. This presents the perfect opportunity for me to either stay with a pet at my apartment or visit pets at their home for long periods of time.
