Experienced dog mom ❤️🐶

Hello, friends! I am a dog lover who has owned dogs for 35 years. I have also fostered rescue dogs for years so I have dealt with dogs with a wide variety of personalities and medical needs. I am experienced with special diets, medications, and training techniques. I have a calm, clean apartment and will devote my time and attention to your special family member. My dog, Benny, is a rescue Chihuahua and maybe vocal upon first meeting but warms up quickly and plays well with all breeds and genders.

Erica was flexible, communicative, and I know our dogs felt safe and loved with her. We will definitely rebook with Erica in the future.

Erica was AMAZING watching Pepper! She sent pictures and was also super flexible when our travel got delayed on the way home. Pepper loved hanging with her dog as well. I highly recommend her!

Erica is a responsible, communicative pet sitter. She was incredibly loving towards Yoda. He was instantly comfortable - usually he doesn’t eat when I’m not around but no problem at Erica’s. We will absolutely use her again.

Erica was so awesome and my Maxwell loved her immediately. She was flexible, super communicative, and it is clear that she loves loves loves animals. Maxwell was safe, comfortable and maybe a little spoiled (in a good way!) during his time with Erica. I felt at ease, and could focus on what I needed to do while awau because Erica was caring for my furbaby. She also lives near an awesome park which is another plus! Would definitely recommend her a million times over!

Safety, trust & environment

I live a block from Golden Gate Park and spend a lot of time there giving babies a chance to enjoy the outdoors. I understand different dog temperaments and work to make our guest feel comfortable. I am always careful to follow care and feeding directions. I live in a quiet building and hear very little traffic or outside noise if your dog is easily excitable. When taking the dogs out, I am NOT on my phone or distracted. My focus is on the pets and making sure they are safe and not eating things off the ground.

Pets

A typical day

I have tons of dog toys, snuffle mats, Kong chews, and food puzzle trays. I have a dog stroller for seniors or those with mobility issues. We do multiple outings to the park daily. I work from 8-10:40 in the mornings so I handle the potty walks and feeding before I go and make sure the dogs have toys and are comfortable.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat

Let me know if your dog has any special need or behaviors I need to know about. My preference is for non-aggressive breeds who are house broken.
