Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and no pets of my own currently so your pet would get all the attention. I can crate your dog if they are used to that and also am comfortable without crating if you or your pet doesn’t like that. I have many toys and leashes and am well experienced in caring for pets.

Information Erica B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any behaviors, needs or interests I should know about! I am happy to adapt to your and their needs.

A typical day

I love to go for leashed walks with dogs in our safe, cul de sac neighborhood. I’d be happy to walk your dog in your neighborhood, a local park, or a nature trail that has no ticks. :) I like to play with dogs with their own toys or the ones I have, train them to do tricks, and also just relax when they are tired. It’s up to you and your dog!

Ready to Care for Your Dogs & Cats

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every age and many breeds since I was 12 years old. I’ve lived with dogs for my whole life. I believe pets deserve special attention and lots of love. I have taken care of pets recovering from surgery, trained puppies, entertained energetic dogs who love long walks and play, and cared for senior cats and dogs. I look forward to caring for your pet!

Erica was so awesome! We had a reunion event in Easthampton which required someone to watch our fur baby while we were out and about. Erica was great to communicate with and was so kind to help coordinate drop off and pick up for our pup to make the logistics easier. We loved seeing the Rover card with all the pupdates and great pics. Most importantly, we knew Sugar was in good hands and we could enjoy our event stress-free. We’d definitely recommend Erica any time!

Thank you, Erica, for asking important questions, approaching our rescued pup with appropriate gentle moves, finding his comfort level, taking the initiative, communicating clearly with thousand-word photos, and leaving our home cleaner than we left it. You gave us peace of mind--priceless--and we are grateful to you.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
