Hi, I'm Erica! Animals have never been just a hobby, they've been my entire life. With a background in Pre-Veterinary studies at ETSU, hands-on veterinary clinic experience, and years spent raising, training, grooming, and caring for animals, I understand that every pet is unique and deserves individualized attention and compassionate care. I currently work professionally as a dog groomer and proudly offer boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, walks, and grooming services in a safe, structured, and loving home environment. My home is designed with dogs in mind. We have a clean, comfortable setup, a dog door for easy access, and a fully fenced one-acre yard where pets can safely enjoy supervised playtime, zoomies, sunbathing, and plenty of sniffing adventures. I also share my home with four friendly, well-socialized dogs who help create a fun and welcoming atmosphere for visiting pets. Because I work as a groomer, I never leave pets unattended for long. Typically no more than 4–6 hours and I intentionally limit the number of pets I accept so every guest receives plenty of love, attention, exercise, and individualized care. Crates are available if needed, and I maintain consistent routines to help pets feel relaxed, secure, and right at home. I have experience caring for: • Puppies and high-energy dogs • Senior and special-needs pets • Medication administration, including oral medications and supplements • Special diets and feeding schedules • Anxiety-prone and shy pets • Multi-pet households • Cats, small animals, and reptiles I use gentle, low-stress, fear-free handling techniques and understand that some pets simply need a little extra patience, reassurance, and TLC. Whether your pet is outgoing or nervous, my goal is always to make them feel comfortable and safe. Professional grooming services are also available, including baths, brush-outs, deshedding treatments, nail trims, and full grooms. Boarding clients may even enjoy discounted grooming services so your pup can head home looking and feeling their best! You'll never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you're away. I love sending daily photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, comfortable, and being treated like one of my own. This isn't just a side job for me caring for animals is truly my passion. I strive to keep my rates fair because I know how important it is to find reliable, trustworthy, and affordable pet care from someone who genuinely loves what they do. I welcome dogs of all sizes, as well as cats, small animals, and reptiles. Whether your companion is furry, feathered, or scaly, I'd love the opportunity to care for them and make sure they feel right at home while you're away.
