Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard as well as an in neighborhood dog park that will allow for your pup to stretch their legs as often as needed. I have a small miniature schnauzer who is extremely comfortable with other dogs, he is more of an observer so he will not overwhelm if your pup is a little more timid. I do have gates in my home if needed, but allow for free roam in the home.

Information Erica D. would like to know about your pet

If there are any needs that your furry loved one has, please feel free to let me know! Whether your pup needs an extra cuddle or another lap around the block, it’s important for me to know what makes your pup comfortable!

A typical day

I typically wake up at 6am to a kiss from my dog Chori asking for breakfast. Depending on the weather, we take a morning trip to the dog park. After a few games of fetch we are usually back home where my pup enjoys early afternoon naps. Throughout the day we take potty breaks and work on new tricks, my pup has just learned roll over! If there are any tricks you are practicing with your dog, just let me know! We eat dinner and enjoy an after dinner long walk to help digest and help us wind down for the evening. The end of the day we usually have dog cuddles on the coach and watch some tv before bedtime!

Pet care experience

From my 5th birthday when I received my first (Sadie, Carin Terrier), I have always loved dogs. My first job was as a dog sitter in high school so I have now had many years of experience. I work from home and have my own little furry family member (Chori, miniature schnauzer mix), and have the ability to give personalized one-on-one care to your fur baby 24 hours a day.

Erica is the best! She took great care of our little guy and sent sweet photo updates throughout the weekend. We’d love to book with her again sometime!

Great communication and worked with a crazy schedule of drop off and pick up. Mia was well taken care of.

I left my dog to Erica for a few days and everything went very well. Erica was very flexible with the drop off and pick up timing, she sent me daily pictures and I can tell my dog was very happy. Thank you so much Erica🥰
