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.

Information Erica C. would like to know about your pet

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.

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.

Pet care experience

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.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
