I’ll love your animals like my own
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Erica and I would love the opportunity to care for your animals. A little about me: I have been an animal lover, owner, and foster home my whole life. Through the course of my life I’ve had cats, dogs, rabbits, fish, and birds. I recently had to put down my Labrador, Rider, who will be dearly missed. I live with my roommates who have one Labrador, one Cotton de Tulear, a cat, and a parakeets. I provide care for their animals as needed. I also frequently house/pet sit for friends and family. I’m most comfortable with cats and dogs. I have cared for dogs of all sizes (from a 3 lb Chihuahua to a 140 lb Newfoundland). I also have experience with puppies. My family ethically and responsibility breeds Labrador Retrievers. If you decided you would like to book me for a service, I will be masked and practice social distancing guidelines. I look forward to working with you.
Reviews
Erica cared for my pup as if she were her own. As a worried dog mom- I always felt at ease leaving my pup in the hands of such a capable, knowledgeable, and caring person. In fact, my doggo prefers her lap to mine when we're all together- a true sign of how much my pup enjoys Erica's company.
I co-own Tall Pine Labradors LLC, and we've intrusted one of our stud dogs with Erica. She's one of the best forever foster families we have. We know that Rider has the best mom a fur kid could ever hope for. I would definitely recommend her to all of my customers. She is professional, trustworthy, and has a deep love for all animals.
About Erica D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I can care for your pets in their home environment, keeping them in a familiar space to help with any anxiety. I can follow any instructions given. I have also worked with many trainers of the years and have learned to read pets body language.
Information Erica D. would like to know about your pet
Do they have any: triggers, anxiety, reactivity, resources guarding, aggressive tendencies. Are they trained? Do they require a muzzle, harness, or gentle lead for walks. How do they do around other animals?
A typical day
I can do both neighborhood walks or stay at home in the backyard, whatever your pet is most comfortable with. If they need secured trail walking, I have a few places I took my reactive dog to over the years that didn’t have much foot traffic.
Services

Availability
I work remotely, so I have extra flexibility for extended stays. I’m able to be at home with your pets and give them extra walks, playtime, cuddles, and all the attention their heart desires!
