Empathetic to all dog needs
Pet care experience
I am a social worker by profession but also lifestyle. I have realized my goal in life is to use my empathy to good use. I have several important goals I follow while watching your doggies: 1. What does your dog need? Does it need space,Play time, some love or a squirrel? Dog personalities are similar to humans and being in a different environment can change moods; we all need and want different things. I stay mindful of what those are and accommodate to the best of ability. 2. Treat all the dogs in my home as I would want my dogs to be treated. If I am having a busy workday, I still let the babies lay on my lap. Or when I get up for a moment, I give each doggo a pet and say hello I want them to feel loved and safe like they do in their own home. 3 No favoritism. Of course I have my favorites but I don’t tell the dogs that 🤷♀️
Reviews
Erica was more than accommodating with my request and extremely communicative & helpful. Stella looks like she had a lot of fun with her new little buddies and I really appreciated the updates & photos as well. Would definitely recommend & contact again for future needs! 😊
Absolutely wonderful experience. We were kept updated on our puppy daily and received lots of pictures and videos! We didn’t have to worry about our sweetie at all.
Erica is sweet ! wonderful ! She watched my 13 year old Maltese for 4 days and treated him like he was her own. He never goes away from family but I was in a pinch so I tried this site. So happy I did ! She gave him love and attention and he was content and well cared for. She kept in touch with photos and comments on how he was doing. Erica is awesome !!!! I hope she will be able to watch Bear again.
My first experience having Erica watch our boys was so wonderful that I had zero hesitation booking with her again. At drop off, I felt like a seasoned school-mom dropping off her middle schoolers, like "bye! Have fun at camp Erica's!" So grateful for the peace of mind I have, knowing that she and her family take such good care of our boys ♡

Information Erica A. would like to know about your pet
During a meet and greet so many important things will be discussed. Allergies? Medications? Schedules? Table food allowed? Do they only know to use the bathroom on a walk or are they able to navigate a backyard?
A typical day
Regarding activities with your dog(s): It depends on energy of the dog. We have activity mats, puzzles, chews and if I am able to, give a walk.

I work from home most of the week and my job is fairly flexible. Sometimes I will have to step out for an hour or two but there is always someone home.
