Pet care experience

Providing comfort and love

I began working with Rover in 2018 until 2021, when I pursued a graduate degree in clinical psychology. From 2021 until now I have made a few career changes, including transferring degree programs. Yet during that time, I greatly missed the connections I made with my pet clients and, by extension, their owners. Now, I am reopening my business to the Boston area! Through my years of experience, I have developed positive and professional relationships with my clients whether it was through pet sitting, clinical work, or consulting. I utilize transparency and collaboration to develop individualized care plans to fulfill each pet’s needs and to provide enrichment. I work with pets of all ages, but my client caseload typically consists of elderly dogs and dogs with separation anxiety. ¡Ofreco mis servicios también en español! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Safety, trust & environment

I replicate the daily routine of the owner to minimize anxiety. I utilize leash lights and proper leash handling techniques for safe walks. I refresh myself on animal body language so that I am not putting any animals or humans in danger. I do not smoke nor drink to minimize exposure to to harmful substances. My standard rule of house maintenance is leave everything better than the way you find it.

Erica was phenomenal with my dog. She was responsive, detailed, and dependable. I loved the detailed message she'd send each day of her house sitting with pictures— it made me feel like my pup was really cared for. Would hire again!

Erica took wonderful care of our 2 dogs over an 8-day period staying at our condo. She was very patient with them and took extra care to help with some training also. I would highly recommend Erica for any sitting needs! She also took the time to take pictures of our dogs and sent messages everyday that we were done!

Erica took good care of Missy while I was on vacation. She sent pictures and updates. I would recommend her for a sitter.

Schedule

I am completing the final semester of my online master’s degree this fall 2026. Most of time is spent writing my thesis, which I can take anywhere. I like to stay active both body and mind so 2-4 weeknights I will go to the gym or a dance class. I’m working an additional job at a restaurant for the summer and my shifts can be anywhere between 4-8 hours. This might change come fall.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Erica can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Does your pet(s) have any form of anxiety? What makes your pet(s) different from everyone else's? Dietary restrictions/allergies? Is your pet known for being mischievous or has previously run away from home? Have they suffered from any traumatic experiences in the past? How does your pet interact with other humans? Other animals? What can I do to make your dog happy?
