Safety, trust & environment

I currently have no pets living in my home, but have a few feline friends that frequent my apartment. I know that a pet is as important as a family member and holds such a special place in the lives of it's owner. I make sure to provide all necessary attention, love and nurturing to a pet when needed.

Pet care experience

I am a true animal lover!I have a genuine passion for all animals, and I truly believe they deserve love and respect, especially when their families are away. I currently volunteer at the Ithaca SPCA, where I walk dogs every Sunday. This experience has not only deepened my love for animals but has also taught me the importance of providing each pet with individual attention and care. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I strive to cater to those while ensuring they feel safe and loved. When you choose me as your animal sitter, you can rest assured that I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I will provide them with the same respect, love, and attention they are used to, so they can feel comfortable and happy while you’re away.

Erica was incredibly communicative and very patient with our emotionally complex chihuahua! We would definitely happily work with Erica for future house sitting needs!

Erica just might be the most thoughtful and responsible person here on planet earth. Not only will she care for your beloved pet, but she tidies up the house, brings in the garbage cans, waters your plants, all without asking! She's a brilliant woman with a kind heart and I give my full recommendation for her. Your pet will be so lovingly cared for like it is her own. You will rest easy while away knowing that your pet is in the best hands. What more could you ask for?

Erica stayed over for 3 or 4 nights with our 2 dogs, which they really appreciated the company. She sent pictures of the dogs and communicated regularly. She even vacuumed! She is a wonderful, responsible and trustworthy caretaker. We would definitely hire Erica again. We are very grateful for her services.

Erica has dog sat for me in the past and i would highly recommend her. She loves my dog and she is reliable. I trust her totally to stay with my dog when I’m away.
