They Can't Keep Their Paws Off Me
Pet care experience
**As my dog is getting older, I'm only taking dog jobs that allow her to come. This applies to overnights of more than 3 days only. Must have friendly pets** Extremely energetic and loving, I find myself drawn to all animals. It is a pleasure to care for anyone's pet, as I hold mine very dear to me. I want to provide comfort for a pet owner, that their beloved pet is in good hands. I rescued my dog, Phoenix on a road trip 10 years ago. I found her in the desert in Arizona; someone just left her there with no collar or microchip. I did not have the financial stability (at the time) to own a dog but I made it work and I am so glad I did, since she is the best companion. In addition to caring for my own animal, I have raised a pack of puppies (including birthing, potty training, feeding, walking) that were born a few years back. I have references if need be. I have experience administering medications to animals, orally or injections. Why I love dog sitting Since the beginning of my time. I begged my mom to get a dog for my 5th birthday and never looked back. I've volunteered to care for animals and even did an animal PSA to gain supplies and money for a shelter.
Reviews
Erica was great with our pets -very patient and loving with them. She also sent regular updates and photos. Thank you Erica!
Erica was super responsive and communicative during her stay at our home. She paid equal and loving attention to both our dog and our cat – which isn't always the case. I believe Erica left our home cleaner that when she arrived, and with two pets that is something! We would happily hire Erica again and hope to do so in the future.
Erica took great care of my dogs while I was out of town. She is excellent at communicating and giving status updates. I highly recommend her!
Erica is great with my stubborn older cat. Erica is patient and gentle

I would like to know a dog's dislikes and likes, their energy level, and the owners rules regarding feeding times, being on furniture or any behaviors the owner does not permit.
A typical day
Time I'll spend with your dog Depending on the type of service (overnight or daily checkups). If it's overnight, I'll be there the entire time. If it's checkups, I'll stay 1-2 hours, each time I check in.
