Pet care experience

Paws & Walks 🐶🐈

I love animals and have had pets in my life since I was young! I’ve cared for dogs through every stage of life, from puppies to seniors, and have experience caring for cats as well. I’ve also cared for anxious dogs who need a little extra attention, patience, and consistency. I enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel comfortable.

Dog Walking • Sep 20, 2026

Erica was an amazing care taker for our 2 yr old golden retriever. Erica was very responsive and flexible making multiple visits over a couple days to attend to our dog. We received lots of pictures and updates while Erica was with our dog. We will definitely be hiring her again and recommending her services.

I highly recommend Erica as a dog walker! She is trustworthy, calm, and patient, and I always feel confident leaving my dog in her care. She takes the time to understand and respect my specific requests and boundaries for him, including giving him space from other dogs and strangers. She also prioritizes my dog’s health by keeping in mind ground/pavement temperature and not letting him drink from puddles, etc.

Erica has watched my two cats, Linus and Lucy, many times over the years, and she is someone I completely trust with them! She is incredibly reliable, caring, and attentive, and I always know they are in great hands when I’m away. Linus and Lucy absolutely love her, which makes leaving them so much easier. Erica truly loves animals and treats them like they are her own. I couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets!

I highly recommend Erica for dog walking and pet sitting. She has been walking and caring for my 11 year old female husky for over two years. Typically 2 - 3 days a week while I’m at work, and has also watched her overnight many times when I’ve traveled. My dog is a rescue and can be challenging to handle. She’s high-energy, and can pull when she sees wildlife like squirrels or deer. Erica is patient and confident with her. I trust her completely to handle my dog safely. One of the things I appreciate most is how well Erica keeps my dog in her normal routine. Whether she’s taking her for a walk during the day or staying with her overnight, I know my dog is getting the care and consistency she needs. It gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing Erica is looking after my dog. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone responsible, trustworthy, patient, and experienced with dogs!

I can’t recommend Erica enough! She helped care for my dog, Barney, for many years, and I always felt completely comfortable knowing he was in her hands. She is incredibly reliable, responsible, and genuinely loves animals. She always treated Barney like he was her own and was someone I could count on whenever I needed her. Anyone would be lucky to have her walk their dog!

Erica kept my mini dachshund, Gracie, for a weekend and Gracie had the best time with her! Erica is very caring, and will follow all instructions as to your dog’s routine, etc. She is truly a dog lover and will take the best care of your pup!

Schedule

I work full-time from home most of the week, which gives me some flexibility. I’m looking to make the most of my free time by helping care for pets. I can fit in midday walks or drop-ins when my schedule allows. I enjoy getting outside and going on long walks!
