Pet care experience
Animal Lover caretaker 🦮😺🐎🦜🐠🐍
I have taken care of and grew up with all kinds of small, medium and large dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, birds, rodents and more. I am signing up for Rover as I just moved to town, and miss my former roomie’s doggo (Ollie the Shiba) sooo much and would love to care for your dearest animal family member. I grew up with animals and have professionally taken care of dogs as a dog walker, as a paid house and overnight dog sitter and cat sitter, and have caretaked for long periods of time friends’ and many different roommates’ dogs and houses. I love cats and puppies and kitties too!! I am experienced with all kinds of dogs, from elder dogs, to dogs w/ social issues. I love ALL animals and happy to also care for your exotic pet - lizards, geckos, snakes, rats, fish, horses (I’m not as experienced but have been around horses) etc. - I literally love all animals! I have volunteered at an exotic zoo for several months and even studied abroad in college and lived in Kenya Africa for 3 months to study wildlife management. Fun fact - I got to hold and feed a baby sloth as part of this. I have a flexible and open schedule presently as I’m new to town and am looking for work and opportunities. I am really looking to work with animals that I can continue to build a relationship with - like be your regular dog walker, or maybe you live here part-time and want support for your cat while you’re out of town. I will be teaching yoga and hoop dance, doing massage and working online on my business, so my schedule varies and I can fit in walks pretty easily. Wed afternoons and evenings I am NOT available as I am teaching classes at Pioneer Park. I am applying to other jobs though so my schedule may change in the future. I can do some weekends overnight but I also perform on weekends, so please check my schedule or message me. Just reach out - I am happy to be accomodating ☺️🙏🏽 I love going hiking and walking with dogs or adventure cats. I don’t think I’m allowed to have dogs or cats at my Studio, so sadly can’t board your animal. I am happy to come to your home, and can feed/ walk, give meds, brush, and can do other housesitting things like water plants.

Ratings and reviews
Erica lived with me and my dog for 2 years. She was loving and affectionate towards him. Many people are not accustomed to my dog's very particular personality which can prove challenging but Erica was able to adapt to his tendencies and build a connection with him. She was happy to walk him and get him his daily exercise. She cared for him during a few of my extended trips away from home and we had no issues come up. Erica will love and care for your dog as it were her own.
Erica was always a very loving and affectionate human to my dog beast, Nym. Yet, she was able to hold command and handle Nym, who is a very large and headstrong alpha bitch. Erica had good recall with Nym and they shared a mutually loving friendship. You have to be strong, aerobically fit, confidant, amicable and approachable to handle Nym, he beast. So, if she can handle Nym and gain her affections, I believe Erica can handle any dog.
Erica is a super sweet and loving individual. She is kind and caring to all the animals I have seen her interact with. I used to own a gecko, and she immediately fell in love with him and handled him very gently and carefully. I would definitely trust her to watch any of my creatures!
Erica has always had a deep love of animals and found happiness volunteering at an animal rescue center back in high school. She has provided loving attention and care to our high needs border collie, when my husband and I were travelling, allowing us to leave with great peace of mind. She has not been able to have her own pets, do to her work involving travel. Yet she has always found room-mates with dogs and every time has won over their love and trust, sharing in their care and daily walks. She will always find a way to have animals in her life and would be a responsible and loving dog caregiver.

I love to get out in nature with the animals. I love Pioneer Park and love exploring neighborhoods or trails in the area, playing fetch, cuddles and scratches.
- Erica can host up to 4 pets per night
- Let me know if your dog or animal has special needs or maybe aversion/ fear of other dogs. Or if there is a routine you would like to maintain for your beloved animal.
