Safety, trust & environment

I am here to help and whatever you need for your pet is what I will offer. I just ask for open and clear communication ahead of time and detailed instructions if you have any special requests.

Information Erica C. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about keeping your pet safe, happy, and relaxed. I focus on sticking to their usual routine, whatever that may be - meals, walks, potty breaks, naps, and lots of snuggles.

Certified Animal Lover since 1992

Pet care experience

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.

Erica took great care of our three indoor cats as well as feeding the community cats and kittens that we care for. She arrived as expected, communicated with any questions, and even brought in our trash bin without being asked! I will absolutely re-book with her in the future.
