Fun, loving home with a sweet pup!

Pet care experience

I am a full-time dog-sitter and I’d love to host your little buddy! My dog Marshall and I always enjoy meeting and hosting new doggy friends. I truly enjoy spending the majority of my time with dogs! I ALWAYS DO A MEET AND GREET WITH NEW CLIENTS BEFORE THE STAY. It’s important to make sure we are all comfortable leaving your dog in my care. Please try to contact me at least a couple days before you need my services so we can arrange the meet and greet. I adopted Marshall from Oakland Animal Services about 7 years ago. He is a very sweet and crazy friendly Tibetan Terrier mix. He loves going for walks, having dogs over for play dates and he is not possessive about his toys, food, bed or crate. He’s a big ball of love, though he's definitely slowing down due to age. Marshall does not seem to like young puppy energy. My home is best for dogs 2 years or older. I live in a 2-bedroom duplex which my family owns in a great neighborhood off Park Blvd. I have a smallish back yard area off the house. My neighborhood is beautiful, quiet, dog-friendly and great for walking! My goal is to make sure that any dog staying with me has a great time, is spoiled with love and sweetness and isn’t too lonely for home. I want them to feel as comfortable with me as they feel with you. I aim to keep their routine as regular as possible and I like them to hear the same commands they hear at home. I walk them twice a day around my neighborhood (with other potty breaks as necessary) and often we go have free play at the park.

Chase loves to visit Erica and he already recognized her house (tail starts wagging). Thanks for the great care you've provided and we will see you again next time.

Thanks Erica, for watching over Chase and sending periodic text and picture updates. Chase felt very comfortable with you as he immediately went straight into your house without looking back at me (that never happens!). Chase had a great time and we will definitely book with you in the future.

Information Erica B. would like to know about your pet

My dog seems to prefer dogs that are about 2 years and older. I don't have any breed restrictions, but I have to stick to my weight limit due to the size of my home (40 lbs. max).

A typical day

I am currently dog-sitting full time and working from home, so I have lots of time for walks, play, training, and good old-fashioned cuddles. We walk twice a day around my neighborhood (with other potty breaks in the yard). I am not usually away from home for more than 3-4 hours at a time. My dog sleeps in my bedroom or sometimes on my bed. Your dog is welcome to sleep wherever they choose in my bedroom, just not, you know, right on top of me. :-)
