Providing comfort and love
Pet care experience
I began working with Rover in 2018 until 2021, when I pursued my master's degree in professional psychology. During that time, I found that I greatly missed the connections I made with dog and, by extension, their owners. Now, I am reopening my business to the Metrowest area! Through my years of experience, I have developed positive and professional relationships with my clients and their families. I utilize transparency and collaboration to develop individualized care plans to fulfill each dog's needs and to provide enrichment. I work with dogs of all ages, but my client caseload typically consists of elderly dogs and dogs with separation anxiety. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COVID-19 Update To ensure the safety of my clients, myself, and the community, I have made some adjustments to my business: 1) For overnights stays I will disinfect the house and all surfaces I have touched at the end of the booking. 2) I keep up with all COVID-19 booster shots.
Reviews
The BEST!!! I can not stress how great Erica was with my little puppy and how everything was perfect as we returned from our trip ! She was literally the best !!!!
Erica was amazing! She kept us updated on our pups the whole time we were away. We will definitely use her again and would recommend to a friend! :)
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.

I replicate the daily routine of the owner to minimize anxiety. I utilize leash lights and proper leash handling for safe walks. Any outdoor activities beyond walks or yard time is only provided at the request of the owners. 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.
Information Erica B. would like to know about your pet
Does your pooch have any form of anxiety? How well do they interact with other humans? Other dogs? What makes your dog different from everyone else's? Are there any special diets your dog is on? Is your dog known for being mischievous? Have they suffered from any traumatic experiences in the past? What can I do to make your dog happy?
A typical day
I make sure every sitting job contains activities that are fun, entertaining, and most importantly, safe. If your dog is adventurous, I will take them to explore any fire hydrant or park they haven't been to yet. For the more quiet and anxious dogs, I find sticking to their daily schedule gives them peace of mind. We will go on peaceful strolls as long or as short as they want. If your pooch wants to cuddle for 3 hours straight, I would be more than happy to do that!
