Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Erica was great! She seems to have the right amount of patience for my two scaredy-cats such that it didn't take them too long to come around and spend time with her. I really appreciated getting regular updates (including pictures). My cats (and my house) seemed well-cared for when I got home. I would definitely hire Erica for cat and house sitting again.
Erica took great care of our dog Pippa during our 3 week vacation. She was in regular contact with us during the whole time, sharing pictures and updated several times a day. She is terrific. Thanks again Erica for your great services!!!!
We have used Erica multiple times now and she is awesome! Our dog gets the royal treatment with Erica which makes going away on holiday worry free. Thanks Erica you are great!
Erica was amazing as always! Moon knows when she is about to come from a mile away and rushes to the door, that is how excited he gets when he sees Erica! He adores her, and it’s just so cute!! We are so glad we got to meet Erica! She provided the most care, love, & pictures of moon! We always feel reassured when he is with her!! & let’s not forget she’s the best at sending us photos of him and always keeping the place clean as ever! We’re so thankful for Erica!!☺️☺️☺️🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Poppy loved her time with Erica! (Poppy’s smiles in the photos is amazing!) Erica provides real-time communication, was extremely responsive and took great care of our furry little one 🐶😊 Definitely going to use and refer Erica in the future!
Erica is the best! So nice dealing with her and I can tell she really cares/ takes such good care of our boy Bingo 😃

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I foster a safe & caring environment for pets by giving them lots of love & meeting the pet where they’re at; I’m sure to take pups out for pee & body breaks frequently and to give all pets lots of TLC. I always keep dogs leashed when on walks & keep a close eye when we are together. While my home is small, I make sure to keep a tidy space in my home and hazardous items are put away! Currently, I live with my partner & a close friend — I would be the one caring for your pet directly, but they would be around during your pet’s sit. You can always request to meet these two if you feel more comfortable doing so. I also have a small dog, who loves other small/medium sized dogs and is very respectful towards cats — however, it is important to do a meet and greet first to make sure both dogs are a good fit for one another. If I am housesitting for you, please feel free to let me know if you have plants that need watering, as I am happy to do this for you, as well!
Pets
A typical day
I love giving pets lots of exercise, play, and TLC!! I’ll take some toys (or your toy of choice if you’d like) to play with dogs at a nearby park, walk them on a local trail, or around the local neighbourhood. :) We have a fenced dog run on the property as well, so I will take your pup to it multiple times a day with my dog to sniff and play!
