Highlights
Pet care experience
Certified Animal Lover since 1992
Hi there! I’m Erica, I’m a full time petsitter here in Gig Harbor. I provide care for all types of animals: cats, dogs, chickens, reptiles, and more! I’m a big time animal lover. I grew up having dogs, and when I turned 20 I adopted my first cat, Flynn. He turned me into the cat mama I am today, and I am now the proud owner of him and his sister, Nora, who was added to our little family several years later. . A couple years ago I stepped away from my full time career to take a bit of a breather and that’s how I came into petsitting. While I’ve only been doing this full time now for about two years, I have technically been petsitting based off of referrals for well over 10 years, maybe longer. . This is currently my only job, which means I do have the flexibility to provide your pets with extra care if needed. I am able to provide frequent potty breaks if needed and I also have plenty of experience administering medication to cats and dogs. I do not work with animals who are aggressive or difficult. I am not a professional trainer, just a girl who loves animals and I’d like to think animals feel safe and comfortable with me, too ❤️ . I also offer plant care for an additional fee, and am happy to help with any household chores like taking out the trash/recycling/yard waste on the appropriate day, package retrieval, and mail pick up. Plant watering for a few indoor plants or a pot or two outside is complimentary, but anything more will incur a fee and be determined based on how much is needed. I love plants and gardening and have plenty of experience. . Quiet hours*: 7:30pm-8:00am *If I am currently staying in your home doing an overnight for you, this does not apply and I will be available at all times in case of an emergency and of course to provide a daily check in and update.

Ratings and reviews
Erica took great care of our kitties and home while we were away. We appreciated all of the updates and pictures!!
Erica is so amazing, I can’t imagine trusting anyone else with my fur babies, especially since they're on the senior side and require a lot of care these days. Love that she’s so communicative and takes care of the guys so well
Once again Erica has taken great care of our three cats, plus feeding the community kitties we care for. She is always reliable and communicative, and we will continue to use her for cat care whenever we travel.
Erica is amazing and so great with our cat Oliver. She is so great sending pictures everyday and very prompt and professional
Thank you for everything! Everyone and everything looked great when I got home!!
Erica is lovely! Always on time, extremely communicative, and so so caring with our two cats. We’re so grateful we found her!

Schedule
Pet care is currently my full-time job. My schedule and how busy I am can fluctuate daily but because this is my only job, I have the flexibility to flex my schedule to your pet's needs.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsErica can host up to 10 drop-ins per day
- Please let me know in advance if your pet has any issues with separation anxiety, or any behavioral quirks that I’d need to know about so we can work together to help make your pet feel comfortable and calm while you’re away. I do not work with aggressive animals and I would ask that you are up front about any kind of behavioral traits that might make my stay stressful or challenging.
