Nurturing pup care - South Bay 🐶♥️

Pet care experience

I’ve been routinely dog sitting and providing high quality and nurturing dog care for over 5 years. I also have a pup of my own whom I love dearly - so as a pet-parent myself I understand how important it is to only leave your pup in the best hands possible. Working from home makes me very flexible for scheduling services. It also allows me to better cater and adjust to the needs of your dog, whether that be a bonus walk, making sure they have fresh clean water at all times, or a much needed 1-on-1 play session! ✨NEW CLIENTS✨ I require a brief meet and greet with myself and my Cavapoo pup, Ruby, prior to confirming any booking requests. This is to help ensure your pup’s stay with me is a mutual fit. Safety and comfort for all are my top priorities 💛 📍LOCATION South Bay (Gardena, CA) I'm conveniently and quickly accessible to my many neighbors with furry friends and fellow residents/dog owners throughout the South Bay area. I'm also a short driving distance from LAX airport and neighboring Culver City, Playa Vista, Marina del Rey and Playa Del Rey. 🐾 DOG SITTING STYLE 🐾 I strive for at least 3 walks per day but monitor overall mood and energy levels - if needed I will take pups out for a bonus walk to catch some extra sun or get in a much needed stretch to break up the day. I keep a stock of fun doggie toys to play with and have comfy doggie beds for those beloved naps! For regular clients, I'm more than happy to store any comfort items or food in my home. 🕓 FLEXIBILITY 🕓 I'm very flexible on scheduling and have accommodated stays ranging from very early morning drop offs to 2am pick ups. If for any reason you need to pick up your dog earlier or later, I'm more than happy to work with you so that you have peace of mind, and so that your dog's stay with me is as comfortable as if they were with you! I do NOT charge extra if your stay slightly extends beyond its booked rate(s). I understand things happen or you may need a little extra time. 💲ABOUT MY RATES💲 I have these in place as guidelines for my guests and they are not hard stances. If you have unique scheduling needs, I will work with you to book a stay at a cost that makes sense for your particular needs. My goal is to provide reliable and quality services without the nickle and diming. Dog Boarding Rate applies to: - any overnight stays - EXTENDED Doggy Day Care stays (typically >8 hours) Doggy Day Care (standard) rate applies to: - stays no more than 8 hours in duration, which commence during morning or afternoon hours only - late evening/night stays are subject to Dog Boarding rate. Please inquire in advance

Hands down, Erica is the best! We have used her over and over because she goes above and beyond and is the easiest and most flexible sitter out there!

We could not have asked for a better sitter! Erica was everything we were looking for - flexible, accommodating, responsive, provided exceptional photos and kept us in the loop throughout our girl’s stay. She also provides a truly safe environment you can pick up on instantly. The only better host is her dog Ruby, who is practically perfect and I think lives for her role as buddy to your doggo for their stay. You will be greeted with the sweetest leg hug from Ruby and top tier sitting frim Erica. Seriously, if she’s avail, don’t look any further!

Erica was an amazing sitter! She was very attentive and flexible and provided plenty of updates and pics throughout the stay. When we picked up our girls they were happy, healthy and didn’t want to leave. We would definitely recommend and use Erica agin!!

Information Erica B. would like to know about your pet

New clients: to help ensure me and my home are a fit for your precious pup, I require a brief meet and greet with myself and my pup, Ruby, prior to confirming any booking requests. Overall: I'd like to confirm that your pup plays and gets along well with other pups and does not have any food aggression - this is a MUST since I have a pup of my own and care after other pups. Ensuring safety for all is my #1 priority. I also would like know of any allergies and health issues, what the preferred walking/eating schedule is, and any particular fears, habits or likes that I should be mindful of (e.g, loud noises, strong urges to chew, etc) so that I can make your dog's stay with me safe, and as comfortable and happy as possible. Dogs over the age of 1 must be house trained. I have no restrictions on breeds. However if your dog is aggressive towards humans or other dogs/animals, and/or is known to damage furniture or has food aggression I am unfortunately not suited to care for your dog.

A typical day

If owner approved and schedule permitting, I will sometimes take pups to a nearby dog park. We will also take walks throughout the day for exercise and fresh air! I have a very spacious living area, which my furry energetic guests love because we get to play fetch or tug of war in doors!
