I'll do an intake with the pet owner(s) to ensure I have all the key details such as eating, care, personality traits, and play instructions.

I adapt to the pet when it comes to playtime to focus on the types of activities that they like the best, and the times of day that they're typically most active.

Pets

Small Dogs, Big Attention

Pet care experience

I provide calm, attentive care that’s especially well-suited for small dogs who thrive on consistency, gentle handling, and close supervision. I have extensive experience caring for friends’ and family members’ small dogs while they travel, and I focus on maintaining familiar routines to reduce stress. I’m patient, observant, and comfortable with senior dogs and those who may be a bit anxious or sensitive. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, leash manners, medications when needed, and overall comfort, and I provide thoughtful updates so owners feel confident their dog is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Erica is such an animal person and is very caring and attentive. She loves all animals and treats them with the utmost care and follows pet owners instructions. She's great at keeping the owners informed and comforted through notes and videos. She's been caring for animals most of her life and truly enjoys it.
