Animals r my best friends ;)

Pet care experience

Hello :) My name is Erica DiNicola , 34 years old and I absolutely love all animals . I started my own pet sitting and dog walking business acouple years ago but it wasn't as easy as it is now because I worked full time and now I can focus just on my business since I was laid off . I was working at the Toms River Animal Shelter for about 4 years until I was laid off due to COVID-19. I was in charge of all the dogs and sometimes cats .( Full time Kennel Assistant) On a daily basis I fed , walked , cleaned out the kennels , gave baths , medications etc.. I gave those animals all the love I could . I am now a certified dog trainer !!!!! . I am available 24/7 ,also First aide and CPR certified . Just let me know what you need me to do and I'll do it . :) I have plenty of references too :) 😃

Animals love Erica and she loves animals !! She used to take care of my 3 cats and 2 dogs, until I moved to Florida . She was absolutely amazing, when I would have to leave for business for a week or two , she would stay at my house and take care of everything. No doubt in my mind that Erica is one , if not the best and trustworthy with animals and house sitting . I felt extremely comfortable with her being in my house and taking care of my animals ❤

I was thrilled when I found out Erica was working for Rover. Her experience with working with dogs let me know what great care would be taken when walking or dog sitting my dog Benny. The fact that my dog has some health issues and knowing that Erica would be able to deal with them is a plus for me. She truly loves all animals and anyone giving her the opportunity to take care of yours will know they made the best and right choice.

I worked with Erica D. at the Toms River Animal Shelter. Erica took her responsibility to care for the dogs very serious and always went the extra mile to be sure their needs were met. When a dog is surrendered by its owner or picked up as a “stray, running at large” they often show signs of anxiety and fear . Erica always gave them extra attention and care to ease them into their new environment. Once a dog was settled in and reassured that they were in a safe place, Erica would make an effort to get them adopted to loving family. I have no doubt Erica would be an asset to your program.
