Dogs Best Friend 🐾

Pet care experience

Through the past 8 years, I have come to house/pet sit for a number of friends, which eventually led to them recommending me to others in search of a trustworthy house/pet sitter. I very much enjoy take dogs for long leisurely walks, allowing them the explore in appropriate areas. I do however take it easy on the older dogs who simply want to go outside to handle their business. My friend's have said their dogs are spoiled by me because I give them so much attention. I Like to treat them well, as if theyre my own pet. I have a small dog of my own who is very playful, but also leaves the chill dogs alone. Although I wasn’t very active on this app for the several years - I have continued to pet and house sit through the years.

Erica is responsible, trustworthy, patient, and knowledgeable about pet care. She has provided house/pet sitting for me on several occasions and at times in a pinch. My dog can be a challenge due to leash reactivity yet Erica deals with him in a calm yet firm manner. My dog seems to enjoy her company and is pleasantly tired upon my return. Erica provides great customer service and is willing to ease any anxiety you may have about leaving your fur-baby in her care. I continue to use her for my dog walking/sitting needs and have no hesitation in recommending her services.

Erica was the most amazing puppy sitter ever. When I first got King I was hesitant to leave him alone being as he was only 12 weeks. Erica did an amazing job puppysitting him for me daily while at work. She basically helped me train him into the good puppy that he is. She would send me constant updates throughout the day if I requested them and photos. :) I highly recommend her to watch anyone's furry baby!

Information Erica A. would like to know about your pet

I'd to know if they have a specific eating schedule , any specific do's and dont's . Their likes or dislikes . If they can be around other dogs. Also, I'd like to know if the owner would like updates throughout the day .

A typical day

When dog-sitting , I like to take my furry pal on walks around their or my own neighborhood. Sometimes even to a park so they can see other dogs . Depending entirely on what their owners prefer. When out of the house I always keep them on a leash , I like to take that extra procaution in case there are loose dogs that are bigger or aggressive - I can quickly pick up my pal and go the opposite way. Also it allows me to have fun with my pal in a controlled environment so to speak. I also like to play with the fur babies , whether it be a game of fetch , playing around with chew toys , or scratching the their bellys. Although I like to play and cuddle with the dogs , I know that some dogs like to do their own thing and aren't as playful as others. That's okay with me too --- if all they need is a couple of walks a day and make sure they be fed , I can do that too . I know each dog has their own personality and aren't all the same . If staying overnight with my furry pal , I don't mind the dog sleeping on the bed or couch with me , however if they're trained/training to sleep elsewhere , that's fine too . I Iike to keep the dogs routine as consistent as possible with their owners routine .

Availability

Currently my calendar shows as unavailable for Monday/Wednesday - if you need these days covered let me know and we might be able to work something out depending on your fur babies needs. I work from home and take several breaks throughout the day to walk and play with my own small fur baby Chewy and any furries I have for the day. Chewy is always excited to have company while I work and a walking buddy.
