Availability

I am a grad student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I do research and go to libraries during the day when they're open, but aside from that my schedule is pretty open. If there is an issue with scheduling I'm usually able to move things around to make it work and happy to work with you to figure out the best plan for you and your pet(s)!

Information Erica A. would like to know about your pet

If there is anything you want me to know about your pet or your pet’s care please let me know! I’m always happy to discuss how to best care for your pet before/during any bookings. :)

A typical day

I’d be happy to take your dog out on a walk, play games with them inside or out, and be sure to give them plenty of attention! If I’m looking after a cat, I will also play with them and get some of their energy out if they enjoy that!

Lifelong Animal Lover + Cat Person

Pet care experience

I have had pets my whole life (many cats and a dog—as well as a few reptiles) and have experience looking after both cats and dogs. I currently have one cat named Hildegard (I can spend way too long talking about her) and grew up having four cats in the house! I do not currently have a dog and I would love to spend time taking care of yours! I have flexible availability and will always check in/update the owner as much as they would like.

Our kitties needed a little time to warm up to Erica but she won them over with a little patience. They were well cared for while we were gone. They are young and full of energy so they needed lots of attention and playtime. Erica made sure they were played out every day. Although there were a few communication issues at first, probably due to Erica having so many other pets to look after, everything worked out in the end.

Our cats loved her, and she did a great job taking care of them. We saw pictures of them every day, and it was great to not have any worries about them being comfortable.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
