I work full-time now, but I truly miss dog training and spending time working with dogs. On my days off, I’d love to dedicate my time to helping you and caring for your pets when you need it most. Providing reliable, attentive, and loving care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet like my own.

Safety, trust & environment

For dog sitting, I prioritize maintaining your dog's routine in their familiar environment. I prefer meeting you and your dog beforehand to understand your expectations and their daily schedule. I enjoy enriching their lives with walks and engaging activities, including training games, tricks, and enrichment puzzles. Your dog's well-being and happiness are my top priorities, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while you're away.

Information Erica C. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know about any special needs, allergies, or behaviors your pet may have. As well as their vet and emergency contact details. Meeting beforehand helps me understand your expectations and their daily routine, ensuring personalized and attentive care tailored to their needs.

A typical day

I enjoy engaging pets with walks, enrichment training, games, and incorporating puzzle toys for mental stimulation. Of course, cuddles and pets are essential as well. I always like a good session of fetch or tug as well !

Erica is AMAZING. Very thorough, easy going, and took wonderful care of our fur babies. She has a lot of experience in training animals so she was the perfect fit for our high energy pup. Highly recommend her!!

Erica was a fabulous communicator throughout the entire experience and you could tell made an extra effort to care for our dog.

I was so pleased with Erica. She took great care of our dog, Sox. I was a little reluctant in having anyone take care of him but will definitely get Erica again. I received daily updates and photos which put me at ease. She also took him for a walk which he loves.

Erica has been watching my dog for over a year now. She has been truly fantastic. She is very reliable (sometimes I as her to watch my dog months in advance and she has never forgotten), she has worked extensively with dogs of all breeds and is very trustworthy. On occasion she has brought enrichment games for my dog and also special treats. I typically use her when I am out of town multiple nights so she has stayed at my house and was respectful and even helped sort out when I had a garage door issue while I was gone. I have nothing but good things to say about Erica, I highly recommend her for any of your dog sitting or dog walking needs!
